More electric aircraft starter-generator system with utilization of hybrid modulated model predictive control
Conference Proceeding

The current trend for future aircraft is the adoption of the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) concept. The electrical based starter-generator (S/G) system is one of the core ideas from the MEA concept. The PI based control scheme has been investigated in... Read More about More electric aircraft starter-generator system with utilization of hybrid modulated model predictive control.

Nonlinear aircraft engine model for future integrated power center development
Conference Proceeding

Aircraft engines, the prime source of on-board power, play a vital role within the electrical power generation system. In literature these are considerably simplified to rudimentary engine speed. In this paper, a nonlinear zero-dimension (0-D) order... Read More about Nonlinear aircraft engine model for future integrated power center development.

Improving security requirements adequacy: an interval type 2 fuzzy logic security assessment system
Conference Proceeding

Organizations rely on security experts to improve the security of their systems. These professionals use background knowledge and experience to align known threats and vulnerabilities before selecting mitigation options. The substantial depth of expe...

Interaction, instruments and performance: HCI and the design of future music technologies
Conference Proceeding

Rationale There has been little chance for researchers, performers and designers in the UK to come together in order to explore the use and design of new and evolving technologies for performance. This workshop examines the interplay between people,... Read More about Interaction, instruments and performance: HCI and the design of future music technologies.

An “in the wild” longitudinal cross-site study of networked public displays user communities through situated snapshots
Conference Proceeding

Networked public displays are a new medium, and as such they can improve the quality and experience of urban spaces by providing new means to engage members of place-based communities. As they are located in different public spaces understanding comm...

This paper describes intervention resources designed to provide opportunities for student self-regulation, with a particular focus on setting subgoals when problem solving. Each task includes a range of pre-written interrelated “sample student respon... Read More about Developing student questioning when problem solving: the role of sample student responses.

Utilizing gravity in movement-based games and play
Conference Proceeding

This paper seeks to expand the understanding of gravity as a powerful but underexplored design resource for movement-based games and play. We examine how gravity has been utilized and manipulated in digital, physical, and mixed reality games and spor... Read More about Utilizing gravity in movement-based games and play.

Grand Push Auto: a car based exertion game
Conference Proceeding

Grand Push Auto is an exertion game in which players aim to push a full sized car to ever increasing speeds. The re-appropriation of a car as essentially a large weight allows us to create a highly portable and distributable exertion game in which th...
