Using intelligent agents to understand organisational behaviour
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Celia, H., Clegg, C., Robinson, M., Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., & Sprigg, C. Using intelligent agents to understand organisational behaviour. Presented at British Psychology Society Annual Conference, Division of Occupational Psychology (BPS 2007)

This paper introduces two ongoing research projects which seek to apply computer modelling techniques in order to simulate human behaviour within organisations. Previous research in other disciplines has suggested that complex social behaviours are g... Read More about Using intelligent agents to understand organisational behaviour.

Dendritic Cells for SYN Scan Detection
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. Dendritic Cells for SYN Scan Detection. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2007)

Artificial immune systems have previously been applied to the problem of intrusion detection. The aim of this research is to develop an intrusion detection system based on the function of Dendritic Cells (DCs). DCs are antigen presenting cells and ke...

An Agent-based Classification Model
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gu, F., Aickelin, U., & Greensmith, J. An Agent-based Classification Model. Presented at The 9th European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS 2007)

The major function of this model is to access the UCI Wisconsin Breast Cancer data-set[1] and classify the data items into two categories, which are normal
and anomalous. This kind of classification can be referred as anomaly detection, which discri... Read More about An Agent-based Classification Model.

Human Behavious Modelling for Discrete Event and Agent Based Simulation: A Case Study
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P.-O. Human Behavious Modelling for Discrete Event and Agent Based Simulation: A Case Study. Presented at Annual Operational Research Conference 49 (OR 49)

This study is about the comparison of simulation techniques between Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). DES is one of the best-known types of simulation techniques in Operational Research. Recently, there has been an e...

The Application of a Dendric Cell Algorithm to a Robotic Classifier
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Oates, R., Greensmith, J., Aickelin, U., Garibaldi, J., & Kendall, G. The Application of a Dendric Cell Algorithm to a Robotic Classifier. Presented at Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems (ICARIS 2007)

The dendritic cell algorithm is an immune-inspired technique for processing time-dependant data. Here we propose it as a possible solution for a robotic classification problem. The dendritic cell algorithm is implemented on a real robot and an invest... Read More about The Application of a Dendric Cell Algorithm to a Robotic Classifier.

A Multi-Agent Simulation of Retail Management Practices
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. A Multi-Agent Simulation of Retail Management Practices. Presented at Proceedings of the Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC 2007)

We apply Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship between human resource management practices and retail productivity. Despite the fac...

Using Intelligent Agents to Understand Management Practices and Retail Productivity
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. Using Intelligent Agents to Understand Management Practices and Retail Productivity. Presented at Proceedings of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC 2007)

Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. In this paper we apply agent-based modeling and simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relati... Read More about Using Intelligent Agents to Understand Management Practices and Retail Productivity.

Biological Inspiration for Artificial Immune Systems
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Twycross, J., & Aickelin, U. Biological Inspiration for Artificial Immune Systems. Presented at Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems (ICARIS 2007)

Artificial immune systems (AISs) to date have generally been inspired by naive biological metaphors. This has limited the effectiveness of these systems. In this position paper two ways in which AISs could be made more biologically realistic are disc... Read More about Biological Inspiration for Artificial Immune Systems.

Motif detection inspired by immune memory
Journal Article
Wilson, W., Birkin, P., & Aickelin, U. Motif detection inspired by immune memory. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 4628, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73922-7_24

The search for patterns or motifs in data represents an area of key interest to many researchers. In this paper we present the Motif Tracking Algorithm, a novel immune inspired pattern identification tool that is able to identify variable length unkn...
