Is It Harmful when Advisors Only Pretend to Be Honest? (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Realisability of production recipes (2016)
Conference Proceeding

There is a rising demand for customised products with a high degree of complexity. To meet these demands, manufacturing lines are increasingly becoming autonomous, networked, and intelligent, with production lines being virtualised into a manufacturi...

A disaster response system based on human-agent collectives (2016)
Journal Article

Major natural or man-made disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or the 9/11 terror attacks pose significant challenges for emergency responders. First, they have to develop an understanding of the unfolding event either using their own resources or thr... Read More about A disaster response system based on human-agent collectives.

Measuring agreement on linguistic expressions in medical treatment scenarios (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Quality of life assessment represents a key process of deciding treatment success and viability. As such, patients’ perceptions of their functional status and well-being are important inputs for impairment assessment. Given that patient completed que...

Inhabiting adaptive architecture (2016)
Journal Article

Adaptive Architecture concerns buildings that are specifically designed to adapt to their inhabitants and to their environments. Work in this space has a very long history, with a number of adaptive buildings emerging during the modernist period, suc... Read More about Inhabiting adaptive architecture.

Dynamic programming with approximation function for nurse scheduling (2016)
Journal Article

Although dynamic programming could ideally solve any combinatorial optimization problem, the curse of dimensionality of the search space seriously limits its application to large optimization problems. For example, only few papers in the literature h... Read More about Dynamic programming with approximation function for nurse scheduling.

A scheme for determining vehicle routes based on Arc-based service network design (2016)
Journal Article

In freight transportation, less-than-truckload carriers often need to assign each vehicle a cyclic route so that drivers can come back home after a certain period of time. However, the Node-Arc model for service network design addresses decisions on... Read More about A scheme for determining vehicle routes based on Arc-based service network design.

Fast and exact Newton and bidirectional fitting of Active Appearance Models (2016)
Journal Article

Active Appearance Models (AAMs) are generative models of shape and appearance that have proven very attractive for their ability to handle wide changes in illumination, pose and occlusion when trained in the wild, while not requiring large training d... Read More about Fast and exact Newton and bidirectional fitting of Active Appearance Models.

Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Is it really so strange to think about a robot as something, or perhaps someone that can produce music, as a performer or even as a composer? What happens when robots perform on stage to live audiences, and when they are perceived as intelligent? In... Read More about Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music.

Validation of a quantifier-based fuzzy classification system for breast cancer patients on external independent cohorts (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Recent studies in breast cancer domains have identified seven distinct clinical phenotypes (groups) using immunohistochemical analysis and a variety of unsupervised learning techniques. Consensus among the clustering algorithms has been used to categ...

ChaLearn Looking at People and Faces of the World: Face AnalysisWorkshop and Challenge 2016 (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We present the 2016 ChaLearn Looking at People and Faces of the World Challenge and Workshop, which ran three competitions on the common theme of face analysis from still images. The first one, Looking at People, addressed age estimation, while the s... Read More about ChaLearn Looking at People and Faces of the World: Face AnalysisWorkshop and Challenge 2016.

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and hyper-heuristics for wind farm layout optimisation (2016)
Journal Article

Wind farm layout optimisation is a challenging real-world problem which requires the discovery of trade-off solutions considering a variety of conflicting criteria, such as minimisation of the land area usage and maximisation of energy production. Ho... Read More about Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and hyper-heuristics for wind farm layout optimisation.

Funky grooves: declarative programming of full-fledged musical applications (2016)
Journal Article

There are many systems and languages for music that essentially are declarative, often following the synchronous dataflow paradigm. As these tools, however, are mainly aimed at artists, their application focus tends to be narrow and their usefulness... Read More about Funky grooves: declarative programming of full-fledged musical applications.

Reasoning about the executability of goal-plan trees (2016)
Journal Article

User supplied domain control knowledge in the form of hierarchically structured agent plans is at the heart of a number of approaches to reasoning about action. This knowledge encodes the “standard operating procedures” of an agent for responding to... Read More about Reasoning about the executability of goal-plan trees.

From Big data to Smart Data with the K-Nearest Neighbours algorithm (2016)
Conference Proceeding

The k-nearest neighbours algorithm is one of the most widely used data mining models because of its simplicity and accurate results. However, when it comes to deal with big datasets, with potentially noisy and missing information, this technique beco...

Researching the transparency of personal data sharing: designing a concert receipt (2016)
Other

The project’s overarching aim was to increase people’s awareness, trust and control over the data that they share with organisations and explore how organisations can give more control over the data individuals share when conducting personal data tra...

Event series prediction via non-homogeneous Poisson process modelling (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Data streams whose events occur at random arrival times rather than at the regular, tick-tock intervals of traditional time series are increasingly prevalent. Event series are continuous, irregular and often highly sparse, differing greatly in nature... Read More about Event series prediction via non-homogeneous Poisson process modelling.

Personal data management with the Databox: What’s inside the box? (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We are all increasingly the subjects of data collection and processing systems that use data generated both about and by us to provide and optimise a wide range of services. Means for others to collect and process data that concerns each of us – ofte... Read More about Personal data management with the Databox: What’s inside the box?.

Small fish in a big pond: an architectural approach to users privacy, rights and security in the age of big data (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We focus on the challenges and issues associated with Big Data, and propose a novel architecture that uses the principles of Separation of Concerns and distributed computing to overcome many of the challenges associated with storage, analysis and int...

A dynamic truck dispatching problem in marine container terminal (2016)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a dynamic truck dispatching problem of a marine container terminal is described and discussed. In this problem, a few containers, encoded as work instructions, need to be transferred between yard blocks and vessels by a fleet of trucks...
