Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Peake, M., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2013). Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems.

Isogeometric analysis is the concept of using the same functions that describe a geometry in computer-aided design to approximate unknown elds in numerical simulations. This has become a topic of considerable interest to the boundary integral methods... Read More about Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems.

Predicting Performance in an Introductory Programming Course by Logging and Analyzing Student Programming Behavior (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Watson, C., Li, F. W., & Godwin, J. L. (2013). Predicting Performance in an Introductory Programming Course by Logging and Analyzing Student Programming Behavior. In Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 2013) (319-323). https://doi.org/10.1109/icalt.2013.99

The high failure rates of many programming courses means there is a need to identify struggling students as early as possible. Prior research has focused upon using a set of tests to assess the use of a student's demographic, psychological and cognit...
