Exploring Human Factors in Spreadsheet Development
Simon Thorne, David Ball
In this paper we consider human factors and their impact on spreadsheet development in strategic decision-making. This paper brings forward research from many disciplines both dire…
A Novel Approach to Formulae Production and Overconfidence Measurement to Reduce Risk in Spreadsheet Modelling
Simon Thorne, David Ball, Zoe Lawson
Research on formulae production in spreadsheets has established the practice as high risk yet unrecognised as such by industry. There are numerous software applications that are de…
Towards a Spreadsheet Engineering
V. R. Vemula, David Ball, Simon Thorne
In this paper, we report some on-going focused research, but are further keen to set it in the context of a proposed bigger picture, as follows. There is a certain depressing patte…
Some Sharp L^2 Inequalities for Dirac Type Operators
Alexander Balinsky, John Ryan
We use the spectra of Dirac type operators on the sphere to produce sharp inequalities on the sphere. These operators include the Dirac operator on , the con…
