3-dimensional modelling in knowledge engineering
Jones, S. (University of Hertfordshire, 1994)Graphical representations are now used in the human-computer interfaces of applications in a wide variety of domains. This paper considers a particular domain - that of knowledge engineering - and discusses the benefits ... -
The Cognitive Dimensions of an Artifact vis-a-vis Individual Human Users : Studies with Notations for the Temporal
Kutar, M.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Britton, C.; Jones, S. (2001)Cognitive Technology explores ways in which the cognitive fit between people and technology may be optimized. If this goal is to be achieved we will require methods of assessing tools and information arftifacts in order ... -
Creating multimedia learning applications in a further education environment
Barker, T.; Jones, S.; Britton, C.; Messer, D.J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)This report describes the development of a large multimedia learning application within a Further Education environment. It looks primarily at the underlying processes used in the design, implementation and evaluation. The ... -
The creation of task-based differentiated learning materials for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities
Barker, T.; Jones, S.; Britton, C. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)Horizon is a European funded project whose aim is to increase employment opportunities for students with disabilities or learning difficulties. A working cafe/ restaurant (Cafe Horizon) has been established in East London, ... -
Designing a public access information system in a new domain
Jones, S.; Hewitt, J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)The development of a public access information system, or 'information kiosk', presents the designer with many challenges (Leventhal et al 94). Amongst other things, such a system must be: accessible to a wide range of ... -
The development and application of multimedia in learning: a survey of literature
Barker, T.; Jones, S.; Britton, C.; Messer, D.J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)Multimedia applications used in education and training are a relatively recent phenomenon. The development and use of multimedia has been influences by many social and economic factors related to the enormous growth of ... -
Early elicitation and definition of requirements for an interactive multimedia information system
Jones, S.; Britton, C. (University of Hertfordshire, 1995)The literature on requirements engineering contains little in the way of either theoretical guidance or empirical case studies relating to the specification of requirements for interactive multimedia information systems. ... -
Explorations of a crisis intervention service
Winter, David; Shivakumar, H.; Brown, R. J.; Roitt, M.; Drysdale, W. J.; Jones, S. (1987)Descriptive studies of a crisis intervention service replicated previous findings of relationships between staff members' attitudes towards treatment and their 'personal styles'. The attitudes and personal styles of crisis ... -
Formal dialogue specification for hypertext and multimedia systems
Jacob, L.; Jones, S. (University of Hertfordshire, 1994)We discuss issues relating to the use of CSP, a process-based formal notation, in the specification of human-computer dialogue with hypertext and multimedia systems. We illustrate our discussion with a small example and ... -
A graphical representation for communicating sequential processes
Kutar, M.; Britton, C.; Jones, S. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)The use of formal notations has many advantages in the specification of interactive systems. However, validating specifications written using formal notations is generally difficult as these specifications are often hard ... -
Individual cognitive style and performance in a multimedia learning application
Barker, T.; Jones, S.; Britton, C.; Messer, D.J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1999)This paper describes an investigation into the relationship between a user’s cognitive style and their performance on a multimedia application. The application was designed to present information in users’ preferred and ... -
An integrated approach to the development of advice systems to support learning and domain based information retrieval
Bearne, M.; Hewitt, J.; Jones, S.; Sapsford-Francis, J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1994)We present a method for developing advice systems. The focus is on allowing users to access information about large, ill-defined domains using their existing knowledge and understanding of those domains. The method relies ... -
Integrating formal and diagrammatic techniques in requirements capture and early system design
Hewitt, J.; Jones, S.; Sapsford-Francis, J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1994)The process of design in software engineering is a complex one. Decisions made in the design stage have far reaching, and sometimes devastating, effects on subsequent development work. Adopting a user-centred approach to ... -
Investigation into the effect of language on performance in a multimedia food studies application
Barker, T.; Jones, S.; Britton, C. (University of Hertfordshire, 1999)An investigation into how performance in a multimedia learning application was related to the level of language support available is reported. Teachers from a College of Further Education, National Vocation Qualification ... -
An investigation into the measurement of notations used in software modelling
Britton, C.; Jones, S.; Myers, M.; Sharif, M. (University of Hertfordshire, 1996)Measurement systems for software abound in the literature as do those for models in specification languages. This report applies measurement to the formal notations themselves making use of the principle of model-based ... -
A new notation for modelling multimedia systems with three case studies
Britton, C.; Jones, S.; Myers, M.; Sharif, M. (University of Hertfordshire, 1996)This report is one of five which have been produced as a result of the Modelling MultiMedia (M3) ROPA project. The principal aim of M3 was to carry out a formal evaluation of a range of currently available modelling ... -
Notations for modelling multimedia systems
Britton, C.; Jones, S.; Myers, M.; Sharif, M. (University of Hertfordshire, 1996)This report is one of the deliverables from the M3 (Modelling MultiMedia) project, which was funded by the EPSRC under the ROPA initiative. The other four reports from the project can be found in the references section ... -
On the representation of time in interaction
Kutar, M.; Britton, C.; Jones, S. (University of Hertfordshire, 1999)The growth in interactive, distributed and multimedia systems and particularly the explosion in use of the World Wide Web means that the concept of time is being recognised as of increasing importance in systems which are ... -
