Designing a multi-agent approach system for distributed course timetabling (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Obit, J. H., Landa-Silva, D., Ouelhadj, D., Khan Vun, T., & Alfred, R. (2011). Designing a multi-agent approach system for distributed course timetabling.

This paper proposes tackling the difficult course timetabling problem using a multi-agent approach. The proposed design seeks to deal with the problem using a distributed solution environment in which a mediator agent coordinates various timetabling...

Towards the development of a simulator for investigating the impact of people management practices on retail performance (2011)
Journal Article
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. (2011). Towards the development of a simulator for investigating the impact of people management practices on retail performance. Journal of Simulation, 5(4), 242-265. https://doi.org/10.1057/jos.2010.20

Often models for understanding the impact of management practices on retail performance are developed under the assumption of stability, equilibrium and linearity, whereas retail operations are considered in reality to be dynamic, non-linear and comp...

Tabu assisted guided local search approaches for freight service network design (2011)
Journal Article
Bai, R., Kendall, G., Qu, R., & Atkin, J. A. (2012). Tabu assisted guided local search approaches for freight service network design. Information Sciences, 189, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2011.11.028

The service network design problem (SNDP) is a core problem in freight transportation. It involves the determination of the most cost-effective transportation network and the character- istics of the corresponding services, subject to various constra...

A Lambda Term Representation Inspired by Linear Ordered Logic (2011)
Journal Article
Abel, A., & Kraus, N. (2011). A Lambda Term Representation Inspired by Linear Ordered Logic. Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 71, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.4204/EPTCS.71.1

We introduce a new nameless representation of lambda terms inspired by ordered logic. At a lambda abstraction, number and relative position of all occurrences of the bound variable are stored, and application carries the additional information where...

MysiRNA-designer: a workflow for efficient siRNA design (2011)
Journal Article
Mysara, M., Garibaldi, J. M., & ElHefnawi, M. (2011). MysiRNA-designer: a workflow for efficient siRNA design. PLoS ONE, 6(10), Article e25642. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0025642

The design of small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a multi factorial problem that has gained the attention of many researchers in the area of therapeutic and functional genomics. MysiRNA score was previously introduced that improves the correlation of si... Read More about MysiRNA-designer: a workflow for efficient siRNA design.

Nature of real-world multi-objective vehicle routing with evolutionary algorithms (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castro-Gutierrez, J., Landa-Silva, D., & Moreno Perez, J. (2011). Nature of real-world multi-objective vehicle routing with evolutionary algorithms.

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows VRPTW) is an important logistics problem which in the realworld appears to be multi-objective. Most research in this area has been carried out using classic datasets designed for the single-objective case...

A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, T., Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. (2011, September). A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK. Presented at Energy and People: Futures, Complexity and Challenges, Oxford, UK

This paper reviews major studies in three traditional lines of research in residential energy consumption in the UK, i.e. economic/infrastructure, behaviour, and load profiling. Based on the review the paper proposes a three-dimensional model for arc...

Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pinkney, A. J., Bagley, S. R., & Brailsford, D. F. (2011). Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components.

Mobile eBook readers are now commonplace in today’s society, but their document layout algorithms remain basic, largely due to constraints imposed by short battery life. At present, with any eBook file format not based on PDF, the layout of the docum... Read More about Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components.

Quiet in class: classification, noise and the dendritic cell algorithm (2011)
Journal Article
Gu, F., Feyereisl, J., Oates, R., Reps, J., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. (2011). Quiet in class: classification, noise and the dendritic cell algorithm. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 6825, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-22371-6_17

Theoretical analyses of the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) have yielded several criticisms about its underlying structure and operation. As a result, several alterations and fixes have been suggested in the literature to correct for these findings. A...
