Learning the Quality of Dispatch Heuristics Generated by Automated Programming (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parkes, A. J., Beglou, N., & Özcan, E. (2018, June). Learning the Quality of Dispatch Heuristics Generated by Automated Programming. Presented at 2th International Conference, 2018, Kalamata, Greece

One of the challenges within the area of optimisation, and AI in general, is to be able to support the automated creation of the heuristics that are often needed within effective algorithms. Such an example of automated programming may be performed b... Read More about Learning the Quality of Dispatch Heuristics Generated by Automated Programming.

Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search (2018)
Journal Article
Jackson, W. G., Özcan, E., & John, R. I. (2018). Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search. Expert Systems with Applications, 131, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2018.05.006

Metaheuristics provide high-level instructions for designing heuristic optimisation algorithms and have been successfully applied to a range of computationally hard real-world problems. Local search metaheuristics operate under a single-point based s... Read More about Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search.

Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Deng, Y., Thaler, J., Schnädelbach, H., & Özcan, E. (2018, March). Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models. Presented at Operational Research Society Simulation Workshop 2018 (SW18 )

There exist many papers that explain the social force model and its application for modelling pedestrian dynamics. None of these papers, however, explains how to implement the social force model in order to use it for systems simulation studies. In t...

To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing (2018)
Journal Article
Khajavi, S. H., Baumers, M., Holmström, J., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Jackson, W. G., & Li, W. (2018). To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing. Computers in Industry, 98, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2018.01.022

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) for the production of functional parts is increasing. Thus, AM based practices that can reduce supply chain costs gain in importance. We take a forward-looking approach and study how AM can be used more effectiv... Read More about To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing.
