We are all programmers now: from bits to blobs (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thorn, E.-C., Quinn, A., Benford, S., Koleva, B., Preston, W., Mortier, R.-A., & Rennick Egglestone, S. (2019, March). We are all programmers now: from bits to blobs. Presented at 4th Biennial Research Through Design Conference 2019, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Presented here is a research- through-design exploration into a collaborative process of developing a computer technology in which the visual designer has control. This paper presents the iterative negotiations and key turning points in the process o... Read More about We are all programmers now: from bits to blobs.

Scheduling airline reserve crew using a probabilistic crew absence and recovery model (2019)
Journal Article
Bayliss, C., De Maere, G., Atkin, J. A., & Paelinck, M. (2020). Scheduling airline reserve crew using a probabilistic crew absence and recovery model. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 71(4), 543-565. https://doi.org/10.1080/01605682.2019.1567649

Airlines require reserve crew to replace delayed or absent crew, with the aim of preventing consequent flight cancellations. A reserve crew schedule specifies the duty periods for which different reserve crew will be on standby to replace any absent...

Overlapping Clusters and Support Vector Machines Based Interval Type-2 Fuzzy System for the Prediction of Peptide Binding Affinity (2019)
Journal Article
Uslan, V., Seker, H., & John, R. (2019). Overlapping Clusters and Support Vector Machines Based Interval Type-2 Fuzzy System for the Prediction of Peptide Binding Affinity. IEEE Access, 7, 49756-49764. https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2019.2910078

In the post-genome era, it is becoming more complex to process high dimensional, low-instance available, and nonlinear biological datasets. This paper aims to address these characteristics as they have adverse effects on the performance of predictive...

© 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Hot spot identification is a very relevant problem in a wide variety of areas such as health care, energy or transportation. A hot spot is defined as a region of high likelihood o... Read More about PAS3-HSID: a Dynamic Bio-Inspired Approach for Real-Time Hot Spot Identification in Data Streams.

WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture (2019)
Book Chapter
Jäger, N., Schnädelbach, H., Hale, J., Kirk, D., & Glover, K. (2019). WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture. In People, Personal Data and the Built Environment (41-75). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-70875-1_3

We spend most of our lives in buildings where we interact with people that occupy the same space. A common and intuitive form of interaction with others is to synchronise our own behaviour with theirs, and such interpersonal synchrony can have variou...

“It would be pretty immoral to choose a random algorithm”: Opening up algorithmic interpretability and transparency (2019)
Journal Article
Webb, H., Patel, M., Rovatsos, M., Davoust, A., Ceppi, S., Koene, A., Dowthwaite, L., Portillo, V., Jirotka, M., & Cano, M. (2019). “It would be pretty immoral to choose a random algorithm”: Opening up algorithmic interpretability and transparency. Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society, 17(2), 210-228. https://doi.org/10.1108/jices-11-2018-0092

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to report on empirical work conducted to open up algorithmic interpretability and transparency. In recent years, significant concerns have arisen regarding the increasing pervasiveness of algorithms and the impac...

Similarity between interval-valued fuzzy sets taking into account the width of the intervals and admissible orders (2019)
Journal Article
Bustince, H., Marco-Detchart, C., Fernandez, J., Wagner, C., Garibaldi, J., & Takáč, Z. (2019). Similarity between interval-valued fuzzy sets taking into account the width of the intervals and admissible orders. Fuzzy Sets and Systems, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fss.2019.04.002

In this work we study a new class of similarity measures between interval-valued fuzzy sets. The novelty of our approach lays, firstly, on the fact that we develop all the notions with respect to total orders of intervals; and secondly, on that we co...

Citizens’ juries: when older adults deliberate on the benefits and risks of smart health and smart homes (2019)
Journal Article
Chadborn, N., Blair, K., Creswick, H., Perez Vallejos, E., Hughes, N., Dowthwaite, L., & Adenekan, O. (2019). Citizens’ juries: when older adults deliberate on the benefits and risks of smart health and smart homes. Healthcare, 7(2), Article 54. https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare7020054

Background: Technology-enabled healthcare or smart health has provided a wealth of products and services to enable older people to monitor and manage their own health conditions at home, thereby maintaining independence, whilst also reducing healthca...

Griffiths, M., Atkinson, J. A., Gardiner, L.-J., Swarup, R., Pound, M. P., Wilson, M. H., Bennett, M. J., & Wells, D. M. (2019). Identification of nitrogen-dependent QTL and underlying genes for root system architecture in hexaploid wheat

The root system architecture (RSA) of a crop has a profound effect on the uptake of nutrients and consequently the potential yield. However, little is known about the genetic basis of RSA and resource dependent response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L....
