Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms (2004)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U., & White, P. (2004). Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms. Annals of Operations Research, 128, https://doi.org/10.1023/B%3AANOR.0000019103.31340.a6

The aim of this research is twofold: Firstly, to model and solve a complex nurse scheduling problem with an integer programming formulation and evolutionary algorithms. Secondly, to detail a novel statistical method of comparing and hence building be... Read More about Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms.

'Bayesian Optimisation for Nurse Scheduling' (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., & Li, J. 'Bayesian Optimisation for Nurse Scheduling'. Presented at Combinatorial Optimization Conference (CO2004)

A Bayesian optimisation algorithm for a nurse scheduling problem is presented, which involves choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each nurse's assignment. When a human scheduler works, he normally builds a schedule systematically foll... Read More about 'Bayesian Optimisation for Nurse Scheduling'.

'Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review' (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., Greensmith, J., & Twycross, J. 'Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review'. Presented at ICARIS-2004, 3rd International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, LNCS 3239

Abstract. The use of artificial immune systems in intrusion detection is
an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system
provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading
pathogens, in a robust, s... Read More about 'Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review'.

An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for a Nurse Scheduling Problem (2004)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U., & Dowsland, K. (2004). An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for a Nurse Scheduling Problem. Computers and Operations Research, 31(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/S0305-0548%2803%2900034-0

This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problems in the past, they always had to overcome the limitations...

'On Affinity Measures for Artificial Immune System Movie Recommenders' (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., & Chen, Q. 'On Affinity Measures for Artificial Immune System Movie Recommenders'. Presented at RASC-2004, The 5th International Conference on: Recent Advances in Soft Computing

Abstract. We combine Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) technology with Collaborative Filtering (CF) and use it to build a movie recommendation system. We already know that Artificial Immune Systems work well as movie recommenders from previous work by... Read More about 'On Affinity Measures for Artificial Immune System Movie Recommenders'.

'Investigating Artificial Immune Systems For Job Shop Rescheduling In Changing Environments' (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., Burke, E., & Mohamed Din, A. 'Investigating Artificial Immune Systems For Job Shop Rescheduling In Changing Environments'. Presented at 6th International Conference in Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture

ABSTRACT

Artificial immune system can be used to generate schedules in changing environments and it has been proven to be more robust than schedules developed using a genetic algorithm. Good schedules can be produced especially when the number of... Read More about 'Investigating Artificial Immune Systems For Job Shop Rescheduling In Changing Environments'.

'Artificial Immune Systems: A new Decision Making Paradigm for Operational Research' (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U. 'Artificial Immune Systems: A new Decision Making Paradigm for Operational Research'. Presented at Annual Operational Research Conference 46

Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annealing. More recently, a novel computational intelligence technique inspi... Read More about 'Artificial Immune Systems: A new Decision Making Paradigm for Operational Research'.
