One of the open source software tool kit is EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) developed and maintained by Argonne National laboratory, US and is in use worldwide. It maintains the server client distributed control system. Communication between server and client are done through a named piece of data called Process Variable (PV). There may be many client and many servers...

This paper describes a computer-based Interactive Biomimetic Space (IBS) installation. Through an interactive process, a user creates and relates new spaces. The simulation of a simplified ecosystem populates the created space with life. The installation attempts to inspire architectural design ideas by integrating biological principles. In particular, the biological concepts of stochastic moti...

Abstract This paper presents the CFD investigation of vortex induced motion (VIM) a caisson model during installation process. The simulations were performed by solving unsteady 3D Navier-Stokes equation. Dynamic Fluid-Body Interaction (DFBI) tool is utilized to simulate motions. Typical draft conditions process are considered. present methodology verified through free decay and VIM cylinder in...

Interactivity has become a major consideration in the development of a contemporary art practice that engages with the proliferation of computer based technologies.

This study examined how child restraint system (CRS) features contribute to CRS installation errors. Sixteen convertible CRS, selected to include a wide range of features, were used in volunteer testing with 32 subjects. Subjects were recruited based on their education level (high or low) and experience with installing CRS (none or experienced). Each subject was asked to perform four child rest...

The User Account Management System (UAMS) is an extension of the original User DataBase (UDB) system presented at the USENIX Large Installation System Administration Conference in 1990. This paper describes the extensions of the UDB system from a single administrative entity tool for a distributed set of computers to a multidepartmental system over the period of three years since the first pape...

This paper reports on some of the outcomes from a two-year Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP) which included the development of an implementation process for the installation of customer relationship management (CRM) applications in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK mail order sector. Soft systems methodology (SSM) was used to help appreciate the organizational structures and p...
