Human-centred computer architecture: redesigning the mobile datastore and sharing interface by Reitmaier, Thomas Oliver

“…I consider the history of the File abstraction and the fundamental grammars of action this abstraction supports (e.g. move, copy, & delete) and the mediating role this abstraction – and its graphical representation – plays in binding together the concerns of system architects, programmers, and users. Finding inspiration in the 30 year history of the file, I look beyond the Desktop to contemporary realms of computing on the mobile and in the Cloud to develop implications for reinvigorated file abstractions, representations, and grammars of actions. …”

Multi-objective optimization techniques in electricity generation planning by Tuyiragize, Richard

“…The objective of this research is to develop a framework of multi-objective optimization (MOO) models that are better capable of providing decision support on future long-term electricity generation planning (EGP), in the context of insufficient electricity capacity and to apply it to the electricity system for a developing country. …”
