Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chowanda, A., Blanchfield, P., Flintham, M. D., & Valstar, M. F. Play SMILE Game with ERiSA: a user study on game companions. Presented at Workshop on Engagement in Social Intelligent Virtual Agents (ESIVA 2015)

This paper describes the evaluation of our fully integrated virtual game companions framework (ERiSA) [4]. We conducted three user studies with different scenarios using two versions of The Smile Game[4] in semi-public and public spaces. In our study...

Reflecting on the study of mobile collocated interactions: the changing face of wearable devices (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Porcheron, M. Reflecting on the study of mobile collocated interactions: the changing face of wearable devices. Presented at Mobile Collocated Interactions With Wearables workshop at MobileHCI '15

Wearables, unlike smartphones, typically afford increasingly private or discrete interactions that are invisible to the casual observer. This shifting paradigm of device interaction combined with the increasing popularity of wearables presents an exc...

High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field (2015)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Pound, M. P., Foulkes, J., Preston, S. P., Jensen, O. E., Pridmore, T. P., & Murchie, E. H. (2015). High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field. Plant Physiology, 169(2), 1192-1204. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.00722

Photoinhibition reduces photosynthetic productivity; however, it is difficult to quantify accurately in complex canopies partly because of a lack of high-resolution structural data on plant canopy architecture, which determines complex fluctuations o...

Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Araujo, L., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Baumers, M., Tuck, C., & Hague, R. J. Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks. Presented at Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium

In many cases, the efficient operation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology relies on build volumes being packed effectively. Packing algorithms have been developed in response to this requirement. The configuration of AM build volumes is partic...

A grouping hyper-heuristic framework: application on graph colouring (2015)
Journal Article
Elhag, A., & Özcan, E. (2015). A grouping hyper-heuristic framework: application on graph colouring. Expert Systems with Applications, 42(13), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2015.01.038

Grouping problems are hard to solve combinatorial optimisation problems which require partitioning of objects into a minimum number of subsets while a given objective is simultaneously optimised. Selection hyper-heuristics are high level general purp... Read More about A grouping hyper-heuristic framework: application on graph colouring.

The Ethical Implications of HCI's Turn to the Cultural (2015)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Greenhalgh, C., Anderson, B., Jacobs, R., Golembewski, M., Jirotka, M., Stahl, B. C., Timmermans, J., Giannachi, G., Adams, M., Farr, J. R., Tandavanitj, N., & Jennings, K. (2015). The Ethical Implications of HCI's Turn to the Cultural. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 22(5), 1-37. https://doi.org/10.1145/2775107

We explore the ethical implications of HCI’s turn to the ‘cultural’. This is motivated by an awareness of how cultural applications, in our case interactive performances, raise ethical issues that may challenge established research ethics processes....

Solving high school timetabling problems worldwide using selection hyper-heuristics (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmed, L. N., Özcan, E., & Kheiri, A. (2015). Solving high school timetabling problems worldwide using selection hyper-heuristics. Expert Systems with Applications, 42(13), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2015.02.059

High school timetabling is one of those recurring NP-hard real-world combinatorial optimisation problems that has to be dealt with by many educational institutions periodically, and so has been of interest to practitioners and researchers. Solving a... Read More about Solving high school timetabling problems worldwide using selection hyper-heuristics.

Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rahman, M. A., & Wilson, M. L. Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search. Presented at 38th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval

Serendipitously discovering new information can bring many benefits. Although we can design systems to highlight serendipitous information, serendipity cannot be easily orchestrated and is thus hard to study. In this paper, we deployed a working sear...

Human-computer interaction as science (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reeves, S. Human-computer interaction as science. Presented at Critical Alternatives 2015, 5th Decennial Aarhus Conference

Human-computer interaction (HCI) has had a long and troublesome relationship to the role of 'science'. HCI's status as an academic object in terms of coherence and adequacy is often in question---leading to desires for establishing a true scientific...

A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramchurn, S. D., Fischer, J. E., Ikuno, Y., Wu, F., Flann, J., & Waldock, A. A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments. Presented at International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-15)

We consider a setting where a team of humans oversee the coordination of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to perform a number of search tasks in dynamic environments that may cause the UAVs to drop out. Hence, we develop a set of multi-UAV su... Read More about A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments.
