A support vector-based interval type-2 fuzzy system (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a new fuzzy regression model that is supported by support vector regression is presented. Type-2 fuzzy systems are able to tackle applications that have significant uncertainty. However general type-2 fuzzy systems are more complex tha... Read More about A support vector-based interval type-2 fuzzy system.

You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Musical soundtracks have great potential to enhance mobile walking experiences such as tours and guides, much as they already do for films and games. They also raise new challenges for composers as the music must fit a given landscape and respond to... Read More about You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack.

Journal Article

A stochastic local search algorithm with adaptive acceptance for high-school timetabling (2014)
Journal Article

Automating high school timetabling is a challenging task. This problem is a well known hard computational problem which has been of interest to practitioners as well as researchers. High schools need to timetable their regular activities once per yea... Read More about A stochastic local search algorithm with adaptive acceptance for high-school timetabling.

A logic for reasoning about knowledge of unawareness (2014)
Journal Article

In the most popular logics combining knowledge and awareness, it is not possible to express statements about knowledge of unawareness such as “Ann knows that Bill is aware of something Ann is not aware of” – without using a stronger statement such as...

Supporting team coordination on the ground: requirements from a mixed reality game (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We generate requirements for time-critical distributed team support relevant for domains such as disaster response. We present the Radiation Response Game to investigate socio-technical issues regarding team coordination. Field responders in this mix...

A Dynamic Multiarmed Bandit-Gene Expression Programming Hyper-Heuristic for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (2014)
Journal Article

Hyper-heuristics are search methodologies that aim to provide high-quality solutions across a wide variety of problem domains, rather than developing tailor-made methodologies for each problem instance/domain. A traditional hyper-heuristic framework... Read More about A Dynamic Multiarmed Bandit-Gene Expression Programming Hyper-Heuristic for Combinatorial Optimization Problems.

Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management (2014)
Journal Article

Smart grids are a key feature of future energy scenarios, with the overarching goal of better aligning energy generation and demand. The work presented here considers the role of the user in such systems, and the contexts in which such roles might em... Read More about Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management.

Online learning and fusion of orientation appearance models for robust rigid object tracking (2014)
Journal Article

We introduce a robust framework for learning and fusing of orientation appearance models based on both texture and depth information for rigid object tracking. Our framework fuses data obtained from a standard visual camera and dense depth maps obtai...

Social implications of agent-based planning support for human teams (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We present a field trial of how instructions from an intelligent planning agent are dealt with by distributed human teams, in a time-critical task setting created through a mixed-reality game. We conduct interaction analysis to examine video recorded... Read More about Social implications of agent-based planning support for human teams.

More than Liking and Bookmarking? Towards Understanding Twitter Favouriting Behaviour (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Microblogging services, such as Twitter, offer a variety of interactive features that allow users to engage with contacts in their social network and the content they produce. One such feature is the favourite button on Twitter, an icon in the form o... Read More about More than Liking and Bookmarking? Towards Understanding Twitter Favouriting Behaviour.

Using adaptive architecture to support yoga practices: social considerations for design (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The field of Adaptive Architecture aims to design built environments, which truly adapt to their occupants. ExoBuilding is an in-house prototypical example of Adaptive Architecture, which actuates in response to breathing and heart- rate of its occup...

Norm approximation for imperfect monitors (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we consider the runtime monitoring of norms with imperfect monitors. A monitor is imperfect for a norm if it has insufficient observational capabilities to determine if a given execution trace of a multi-agent system complies with or v... Read More about Norm approximation for imperfect monitors.

Verifying heterogeneous multi-agent programs (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We present a new approach to verifying heterogeneous multi-agent programs — multi-agent systems in which the agents are implemented in different (BDI-based) agent programming languages. Our approach is based on meta-APL, a BDI-based agent programming... Read More about Verifying heterogeneous multi-agent programs.

An optimization spiking neural P system for approximately solving combinatorial optimization problems (2014)
Journal Article

Membrane systems (also called P systems) refer to the computing models abstracted from the structure and the functioning of the living cell as well as from the cooperation of cells in tissues, organs, and other populations of cells. Spiking neural P... Read More about An optimization spiking neural P system for approximately solving combinatorial optimization problems.

Measuring the effect of Think Aloud Protocols on workload using fNIRS (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The Think Aloud Protocol (TAP) is a verbalisation technique widely employed in HCI user studies to give insight into user experience, yet little work has explored the impact that TAPs have on participants during user studies. This paper utilises a br... Read More about Measuring the effect of Think Aloud Protocols on workload using fNIRS.

Doing the laundry with agents: a field trial of a future smart energy system in the home (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Future energy systems that rely on renewable energy may bring about a radical shift in how we use energy in our homes. We developed and prototyped a future scenario with highly variable, real-time electricity prices due to a grid that mainly relies o...

Human values in curating a human rights media archive (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Cultural institutions, such as museums, often curate politically and ethically sensitive materials. Increasingly, Internet-enabled, digital technology intersects with these curatorial practices offering new opportunities for public and scholarly enga...

Gifting personal interpretations in galleries (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The designers of mobile guides for museums and galleries face three major challenges: fostering rich interpretation, delivering deep personalization, and enabling a coherent social visit. We propose an approach to tackling all three simultaneously by... Read More about Gifting personal interpretations in galleries.

The automatic design of hyper-heuristic framework with gene expression programming for combinatorial optimization problems (2014)
Journal Article

Hyper-heuristic approaches aim to automate heuristic design in order to solve multiple problems instead of designing tailor-made methodologies for individual problems. Hyper-heuristics accomplish this through a high level heuristic (heuristic selecti...
