Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pinkney, A. J., Bagley, S. R., & Brailsford, D. F. Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components. Presented at ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '11)

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...

Evolutionary squeaky wheel optimization: a new framework for analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Li, J., Parkes, A. J., & Burke, E. K. (in press). Evolutionary squeaky wheel optimization: a new framework for analysis. Evolutionary Computation, 19(3), https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00033

Squeaky wheel optimization (SWO) is a relatively new metaheuristic that has been shown to be effective for many real-world problems. At each iteration SWO does a complete construction of a solution starting from the empty assignment. Although the con...

A "non-parametric" version of the naive Bayes classifier (2011)
Journal Article
Soria, D., Garibaldi, J. M., Ambrogi, F., Biganzoli, E. M., & Ellis, I. O. (2011). A "non-parametric" version of the naive Bayes classifier. Knowledge-Based Systems, 24(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knosys.2011.02.014

Many algorithms have been proposed for the machine learning task of classication. One of the simplest methods, the naive Bayes classifyer, has often been found to give good performance despite the fact that its underlying assumptions (of independence...

Validation of a microsimulation of the port of Dover (2011)
Journal Article
Roadknight, C., Aickelin, U., & Sherman, G. (in press). Validation of a microsimulation of the port of Dover. Journal of Computational Science, 3(1-2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jocs.2011.07.005

Modelling and simulating the traffic of heavily used but secure environments such as seaports and airports is of increasing importance. Errors made when simulating these environments can have long standing economic, social and environmental implicati... Read More about Validation of a microsimulation of the port of Dover.

Modelling electricity consumption in office buildings: an agent based approach (2011)
Journal Article

Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-22362-4_24

Theme parks are important and complex forms of entertainment, with a broad user-base, and with a substantial economic impact. In this paper, we present a case study of an existing theme park, and use this to motivate two research challenges in relati...

Comparing System Dynamics and Agent-Based Simulation for tumour growth and its interactions with effector cells (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Figueredo, G. P., & Aickelin, U. Comparing System Dynamics and Agent-Based Simulation for tumour growth and its interactions with effector cells. Presented at Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC 2011)

There is little research concerning comparisons and combination of System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). ABS is a paradigm used in many levels of abstraction, including those levels covered by SDS. We believe that the est...

Conveying intentions through haptics in human-computer collaboration (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kucukyilmaz, A., Sezgin, T. M., & Basdogan, C. (2011, June). Conveying intentions through haptics in human-computer collaboration. Presented at IEEE World Haptics Conference, Istanbul, Turkey

Haptics has been used as a natural way for humans to communicate with computers in collaborative virtual environments. Human-computer collaboration is typically achieved by sharing control of the task between a human and a computer operator. An impor...
