64-bit architechtures and compute clusters for high performance simulations
(Massey University, 2006)
Simulation of large complex systems remains one of the most demanding
of high performance computer systems both in terms of raw compute performance
and efficient memory management. Recent availability of 64-bit
architectures ...
Simple procedures for finding mean first passage times in Markov chains
(Massey University, 2005)
The derivation of mean first passage times in Markov chains involves the solution of a family of linear equations. By exploring the solution of a related set of equations, using suitable generalized inverses of the Markovian ...
A formal model of emotional-response, inspired from human cognition and emotion systems
(Massey University, 2006)
In this paper, we used the formalisms of decision-making theory and theories in psychology, physiology and cognition to proposing a macro model of human emotional-response. We believe that using such formalism can fill the ...
Decision making in the evaluation, selection and implementation of ERP systems
(Massey University, 2000)
The evaluation, selection and implementation (ESI) of ERP systems involve making multiple decisions during
the lifecycle of the ERP project. This study tries to map six models of decision-making to the ERP project
lifecycle, ...
Automated schema matching techniques: an exploratory study
(Massey University, 2003)
Manual schema matching is a problem for many database applications that use multiple data sources including data warehousing and e-commerce applications. Current research attempts to address this problem by developing ...
Building cost-effective research platforms: utilising free | open-source software in research projects
(Massey University, 2003)
When prototyping or developing a system for use in research work, it is often necessary to create an entire system, even if only one part of the system is the focus of the research. Free | open-source software offers a ...
Analysis of the last page
(Massey University, 2003)
A sample of death notices from the New Zealand Herald was used as the basis of a Data Analysis assignment. This note explores some interesting statistical aspects of these death notices, using common data analysis techniques, ...
Intracellular calcium oscillations

Calculating animal performance from limited liveweight measurements of the population
(Massey University, 2003)
We consider the problem of estimating the distribution of carcass weights in a flock of animals from estimates made on a truncated sample. This arises when a farmer chooses the heaviest lambs for slaughter and then ...
