I provide an overview of approaches to writing referred to as ‘academic literacies’ building on broader traditions, such as New Literacy Studies, and I draw out the relevance of such traditions for the ways in which lecturers provide support to their students with regard to the writing requirements of the University. I offer three case studies of the application of academic literacies approache...

"Brian" is a simulator for spiking neural networks (http://www.briansimulator.org). The focus is on making the writing of simulation code as quick and easy as possible for the user, and on flexibility: new and non-standard models are no more difficult to define than standard ones. This allows scientists to spend more time on the details of their models, and less on their implementation. Neuron ...

Scavia, D. and Eadie, B.J., 1976. The use of measurable coefficients in process formulations -zooplankton grazing. Ecol. Modelling, 2: 315--319. This paper redefines a construct previously used to model phytoplankton--zooplankton interactions in such a way as to permit the use of measurable quantities as construct coefficients. The new construct can use unaltered values of the half-saturation c...

This paper contains reminiscences of my work as a young engineer at IBMAdvanced Computing Systems. I met my colleague Brian Randell during a particularly exciting time there – a time that shaped our later careers in very interesting ways. This paper reflects on those long-ago experiences and the many lessons learned back then. I’m hoping that other ACS veterans will share their memories with us...
