A tensor analysis improved genetic algorithm for online bin packing (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Asta, S., & Özcan, E. A tensor analysis improved genetic algorithm for online bin packing. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (2015)

Mutation in a Genetic Algorithm is the key variation operator adjusting the genetic diversity in a population throughout the evolutionary process. Often, a fixed mutation probability is used to perturb the value of a gene. In this study, we describe... Read More about A tensor analysis improved genetic algorithm for online bin packing.

Creativity Bento Box: a physical resource pack to support interaction in virtual space (2015)
Journal Article
Schnädelbach, H., Coughlan, T., Kefalidou, G., McAuley, D., & Meese, R. (in press). Creativity Bento Box: a physical resource pack to support interaction in virtual space. International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 31(11), https://doi.org/10.1080/10447318.2015.1067478

The Creativity Bento Box is a physical resource pack, designed to support casual social interaction and break taking in an intensive, computer-mediated social activity. It was developed within the Creativity Greenhouse project, which piloted a mechan... Read More about Creativity Bento Box: a physical resource pack to support interaction in virtual space.

Programs for cheap! (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hackett, J., & Hutton, G. (2015, July). Programs for cheap!. Presented at Thirtieth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, Kyoto, Japan

Write down the definition of a recursion operator on a piece of paper. Tell me its type, but be careful not to let me see the operator’s definition. I will tell you an optimization theorem that the operator satisfies. As an added bonus, I will also g... Read More about Programs for cheap!.

Quantifying robustness of trust systems against collusive unfair rating attacks using information theory (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, D., Muller, T., Zhang, J., & Liu, Y. (2015, July). Quantifying robustness of trust systems against collusive unfair rating attacks using information theory. Presented at International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Unfair rating attacks happen in existing trust and reputation systems, lowering the quality of the systems. There exists a formal model that measures the maximum impact of independent attackers [Wang et al., 2015] - based on information theory. We im...

Novel in vitro diagnosis of equine allergies using a protein array and mathematical modelling approach: a proof of concept using insect bite hypersensitivity (2015)
Journal Article
Marti, E., Wang, X., Jambari, N., Rhyner, C., Olzhausen, J., Pérez-Barea, J., Figueredo, G. P., & Alcocer, M. J. (2015). Novel in vitro diagnosis of equine allergies using a protein array and mathematical modelling approach: a proof of concept using insect bite hypersensitivity. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 167(3-4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2015.06.013

Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a seasonal recurrent skin allergy of horses caused by IgE-mediated reactions to allergens present in the saliva of biting insects of the genus Culicoides, and possibly also Simulium and Stomoxys species. In this... Read More about Novel in vitro diagnosis of equine allergies using a protein array and mathematical modelling approach: a proof of concept using insect bite hypersensitivity.

A supervised adverse drug reaction signalling framework imitating Bradford Hill’s causality considerations (2015)
Journal Article
Reps, J. M., Garibaldi, J. M., Aickelin, U., Gibson, J. E., & Hubbard, R. B. (2015). A supervised adverse drug reaction signalling framework imitating Bradford Hill’s causality considerations. Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 56, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2015.06.011

Big longitudinal observational medical data potentially hold a wealth of information and have been recognised as potential sources for gaining new drug safety knowledge. Unfortunately there are many complexities and underlying issues when analysing l...

Caught in the middle: the role of the facilities manager in organisational energy use (2015)
Journal Article
Goulden, M., & Spence, A. (2015). Caught in the middle: the role of the facilities manager in organisational energy use. Energy Policy, 85, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2015.06.014

This study analyses the role of the Facilities Manager [FM] as a key actor in organisational energy management. This builds on the idea that ‘middle’ agents in networks can be an important lever for socio-technical change. The study demonstrates the...
