Linking electronic journals - Lessons from the Open Journal project (1998)
Journal Article
Hitchcock, S., Carr, L., Hall, W., Harris, S., Probets, S., Evans, D., & Brailsford, D. F. (1998). Linking electronic journals - Lessons from the Open Journal project

The Open Journal project has completed its three year period of funding by the UK Electronic Libraries (eLib) programme (Rusbridge 1998). During that time, the number of journals that are available electronically leapt from a few tens to a few thousa...

Monadic parsing in Haskell (1998)
Journal Article
Hutton, G., & Meijer, E. (1998). Monadic parsing in Haskell. Journal of Functional Programming, 8(4),

This paper is a tutorial on defining recursive descent parsers in Haskell. In the spirit of one-stop shopping, the paper combines material from three areas into a single source. The three areas are functional parsers, the use of monads to structure... Read More about Monadic parsing in Haskell.

Dynamic Link Inclusion in Online PDF Journals (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Probets, S., Brailsford, D. F., Carr, L., & Hall, W. (1998). Dynamic Link Inclusion in Online PDF Journals. In J. Andre, H. Brown, & R. Hersch (Eds.),

Two complementary de facto standards for the publication of electronic documents are HTML on theWorldWideWeb and Adobe s PDF (Portable Document Format) language for use with Acrobat viewers. Both these formats provide support for hypertext features t... Read More about Dynamic Link Inclusion in Online PDF Journals.

Partial shape matching using genetic algorithms (1997)
Journal Article
Ozcan, E., & Mohan, C. K. (1997). Partial shape matching using genetic algorithms. Pattern Recognition Letters, 18(10), 987-992. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-8655%2897%2900123-2

Shape recognition is a challenging task when images contain overlapping, noisy, occluded, partial shapes. This paper addresses the task of matching input shapes with model shapes described in terms of features such as line segments and angles. The qu...

Electronic Publishing : the evolution and economics of a hybrid journal. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brailsford, D. F. (1997). Electronic Publishing : the evolution and economics of a hybrid journal.

The technical, social and economic issues of electronic publishing are examined by using as a case study the evolution of the journal Electronic Publishing Origination, Dissemination and Design (EP-odd) which is published by John Wiley Ltd. The journ... Read More about Electronic Publishing : the evolution and economics of a hybrid journal..

Back to Basics: Deriving Representation Changers Functionally (1996)
Journal Article
Hutton, G., & Meijer, E. (1996). Back to Basics: Deriving Representation Changers Functionally. Journal of Functional Programming, 6(1),

Many functional programs can be viewed as representation changers, that is, as functions that convert abstract values from one concrete representation to another. Examples of such programs include base-converters, binary adders and multipliers, and... Read More about Back to Basics: Deriving Representation Changers Functionally.

Monadic parser combinators (1996)
Book
Hutton, G., & Meijer, E. (1996). Monadic parser combinators. School of Computer Science and IT

In functional programming, a popular approach to building recursive descent parsers is to model parsers as functions, and to define higher-order functions (or combinators) that implement grammar constructions such as sequencing, choice, and repetitio... Read More about Monadic parser combinators.

Bananas in space: extending fold and unfold to exponential types (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meijer, E., & Hutton, G. (1995). Bananas in space: extending fold and unfold to exponential types.

Fold and unfold are general purpose functionals for process-ing and constructing lists. By using the categorical approach of modelling recursive datatypes as fixed points of functors, these functionals and their algebraic properties were generalised...

Document analysis of PDF files: methods, results and implications (1995)
Journal Article
Lovegrove, W. S., & Brailsford, D. F. (1995). Document analysis of PDF files: methods, results and implications

A strategy for document analysis is presented which uses Portable Document Format (PDF the underlying file structure for Adobe Acrobat software) as its starting point. This strategy examines the appearance and geometric position of text and image blo... Read More about Document analysis of PDF files: methods, results and implications.

Towards structured, block-based PDF (1995)
Journal Article
Smith, P. N., & Brailsford, D. F. (1995). Towards structured, block-based PDF

The Portable Document Format (PDF), defined by Adobe Systems Inc. as the basis of its Acrobat product range, is discussed in some detail. Particular emphasis is given to its flexible object-oriented structure, which has yet to be fully exploited. It... Read More about Towards structured, block-based PDF.

Experience with the use of Acrobat in the CAJUN publishing project (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brailsford, D. F. (1994). Experience with the use of Acrobat in the CAJUN publishing project.

Adobe's Acrobat software, released in June 1993, is based around a new Portable Document Format (PDF) which offers the possibility of being able to view and exchange electronic documents, independent of the originating software, across a wide variety...

CD-ROM Acrobat Journals Using Networks (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brailsford, D. F., & Harrison, L. (1994). CD-ROM Acrobat Journals Using Networks.

The available technologies for publishing journals electronically are surveyed. They range from abstract representations, such as SGML, concerned largely with the structure of the document, to formats such as PostScript which faithfully model the l...
