At UCL:
Article published (two years after I left UCL) on my master's thesis. C. Hornsby , C. H. C. Leung, "The design and implementation of a flexible retrieval language for a Prolog database system", ACM SIGPLAN Notices, v.20 n.9, August 1985. I only discovered it by chance years later. I neither wrote it or read it, but presumably my supervisor must have found something of value in the work. |

I also gave a paper at a conference in Lausanne in 1987: K Ahmad, CPW Hornsby, AJ Langdon, "Expert systems in urban storm drainage", Proc. 4th Intl. Conf. on Urban Storm Drainage, Lausanne, Sept 1987. But apart from the fact that it was my first conference presentation and that I found there was a free festival on at the end of the event (at which Public Image Limited played, though I remember they were hard to like), I remember nothing.

Most of these I'd forgotten about (I didn't get to go to the conference). Katsoulakos P.S. and C. Hornsby, "Expert Systems and Marine Applications", Trans IMarE, Vol.101, No.1 1989. Won the Denny Gold Medal for best paper of the year, though rereading it now, I wince.

At Shell, we were actively discouraged from publishing externally. I did write a nice piece on organisational analogies and lessons they might teach us in 1992. I can't imagine anyone would object if I posted that here. It has some nice sections, especially given that it was written 30 years ago.
