I contributed to a paper in the Virtual Reality Journal about the Virtual Scylla in which I outlined emerging standards for Online Virtual Worlds:

Stone, R., White, D., Guest, R., Francis, B. (2008) The Virtual Scylla: an exploration of "serious games", artificial life and simulation complexity Virtual Reality Journal

 

I presented a paper at the Web3D Symposium 2009 in Darmsdadt, Germany entitled WebScylla: A 3D Web Application for visualising the colonisation of an articial reef

 

I wrote a report for the Digital Native Academy for a Technology Strategy Board Feasibility Study:

Francis, B. (2009) The Use of Online Virtual Environments as an Engagement Tool to Enhance the User Experience within the Urban Regeneration Consultation Process

 

I have also entered two papers into the IET's Written Premium Competition. They were:
