Introducing PEGI: a usability process for the practical evaluation of Geographic Information (2013)
Journal Article
Brown, M., Sharples, S., & Harding, J. (2013). Introducing PEGI: a usability process for the practical evaluation of Geographic Information. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 71(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2013.01.004

As the use of Geographic Information (GI) is becoming more widespread, the usability of GI is being recognised as an important issue. However, exploring the usability of information products brings with it a range of problems that are not easily han...

A harmony search algorithm for nurse rostering problems (2013)
Journal Article
Hadwan, M., Ayob, M., Kendall, G., & Qu, R. (2013). A harmony search algorithm for nurse rostering problems. Information Sciences, 233, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2012.12.025

Harmony search algorithm (HSA) is a relatively new nature-inspired algorithm. It evolves solutions in the problem search space by mimicking the musical improvisation process in seeking agreeable harmony measured by aesthetic standards. The nurse rost...

Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies (2013)
Journal Article
Sun, X., Golightly, D., Cranwell, J., Bedwell, B. D., & Sharples, S. (2013). Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 5(2), https://doi.org/10.4018/jmhci.2013040104

Mobile device-based diary studies have potential as contextual data capture methods that address the limitations of the traditional paper-based diary method. While there have been a number of studies that demonstrate the power of the mobile device-ba... Read More about Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies.

Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coughlan, T., Brown, M., Lawson, G., Mortier, R., Houghton, R., & Goulden, M. (2013). Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships.

This paper describes the on-going development of a method to elicit perceptions of design ideas for social technologies, through automatically tailoring scenarios presented in online surveys using information gathered from respondents. The work has b... Read More about Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships.

Building open bridges: collaborative remixing and reuse of open educational resources across organisations (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coughlan, T., Pitt, R., & McAndrew, P. (2013). Building open bridges: collaborative remixing and reuse of open educational resources across organisations. In CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing System (991-1000). https://doi.org/10.1145/2470654.2466127

In this paper we analyse the remixing and reuse of online learning materials offered as Open Educational Resources (OER). We explore the practices that developed as a set of course materials were released as OER from the UK, remixed for a US context...

Investigating mathematical models of immuno-interactions with early-stage cancer under an agent-based modelling perspective (2013)
Journal Article
Figueredo, G. P., Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. (2013). Investigating mathematical models of immuno-interactions with early-stage cancer under an agent-based modelling perspective. BMC Bioinformatics, 14(Spl. 6), Article S6. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-14-S6-S6

Many advances in research regarding immuno-interactions with cancer were developed with the help of ordinary differential equation (ODE) models. These models, however, are not effectively capable of representing problems involving individual localisa...

Generic active appearance models revisited (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., Alabort-i-Medina, J., Zafeiriou, S., & Pantic, M. (2013). Generic active appearance models revisited. In ACCV 2012: Computer Vision – ACCV 2012 (650-663). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-37431-9_50

The proposed Active Orientation Models (AOMs) are generative models of facial shape and appearance. Their main differences with the well-known paradigm of Active Appearance Models (AAMs) are (i) they use a different statistical model of appearance, (...

A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding (2013)
Journal Article
Ravizza, S., Atkin, J., & Burke, E. K. (2014). A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding. Journal of Scheduling, 17(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10951-013-0323-3

In addition to having to handle constantly increasing numbers of aircraft, modern airports also have to address a wide range of environmental regulations and requirements. As airports work closer and closer to their maximal possible capacity, the ope... Read More about A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding.

Particle swarm optimization for the Steiner tree in graph and delay-constrained multicast routing problems (2013)
Journal Article
Qu, R., Xu, Y., Castro-Gutierrez, J., & Landa-Silva, D. (2013). Particle swarm optimization for the Steiner tree in graph and delay-constrained multicast routing problems. Journal of Heuristics, 19(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10732-012-9198-2

This paper presents the first investigation on applying a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to both the Steiner tree problem and the delay constrained multicast routing problem. Steiner tree problems, being the underlining models of many ap... Read More about Particle swarm optimization for the Steiner tree in graph and delay-constrained multicast routing problems.
