PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., Oates, R., & Aickelin, U. PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

As one of the newest members in the field of articial immune systems (AIS), the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) is
based on behavioural models of natural dendritic cells (DCs). Unlike other AIS, the DCA does not rely on training data, instead domain... Read More about PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Menachof, D., & Sherman, G. Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea
and air ports is unknown as no benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturer benchmarks exist for individual sensors but we have not found any benchmarks that tak... Read More about Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P., Sherman, G., & Aickelin, U. Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach.

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea and air ports is largely unknown as few benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturers provide benchmarks for individual sensors but we found no benchmarks that ta... Read More about Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach.

Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model
Book Chapter
Adewunmi, A., & Aickelin, U. Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model. In Proceedings of the 2008 International Simulation Multi-conference. The Society For Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)

This paper reports on continuing research into the
modelling of an order picking process within a
Crossdocking distribution centre using Simulation
Optimisation. The aim of this project is to optimise a
discrete event simulation model and to unde... Read More about Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model.

ToLeRating UR-STD
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. ToLeRating UR-STD.

A new emerging paradigm of Uncertain Risk of Suspicion, Threat and Danger, observed across the field of information security, is described. Based on this paradigm a novel approach to anomaly detection is presented. Our approach is based on a simple y... Read More about ToLeRating UR-STD.

The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms
Journal Article
Greensmith, J., Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms. Evolutionary Intelligence, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-008-0008-6

The dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is an immune-inspired algorithm, developed for the purpose of anomaly detection. The algorithm performs multi-sensor data fusion and correlation which results in a ‘context aware’ detection system. Previous applicat...

Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M. A., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P. Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation. In Annual Operational Research Conference 50 (OR 50)

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a very popular simulation technique in Operational Research. Recently, there has been the emergence of another technique, namely Agent Based Simulation (ABS). Although there is a lot of literature relating to DES an... Read More about Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation.

Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.

Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. We apply
agent-based simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are
working to understand the relationship between human reso... Read More about Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.
