Assessing relative contribution of Environmental, Behavioural and Social factors on Life Satisfaction via mobile app data (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Life satisfaction significantly contributes to wellbe-ing and is linked to positive outcomes for individual people and society more broadly. However, previous research demonstrates that many factors contribute to the life satisfaction of an individua...

New directions in fitness evaluation: commentary on Langdon’s JAWS30 (2023)
Journal Article

Langdon's paper emphasises the key role of fitness in GP, yet notes issues with current approaches to fitness: "In GP, as in most optimisation problems, most of the computation effort is spent on evaluating how good the proposed solutions are". The p... Read More about New directions in fitness evaluation: commentary on Langdon’s JAWS30.

A sequential quadratic programming based strategy for particle swarm optimization on single-objective numerical optimization (2023)
Journal Article

Over the last decade, particle swarm optimization has become increasingly sophisticated because well-balanced exploration and exploitation mechanisms have been proposed. The sequential quadratic programming method, which is widely used for real-param...

The Stretchy Strap: supporting encumbered interaction with guitars (2023)
Journal Article

Guitarists struggle to play their instruments while simultaneously using additional computing devices (i.e., encumbered interaction). We explored designs with guitarists through co-design and somaesthetic design workshops, learning that they (unsurpr...

A Difficulty in Trust Modelling (2023)
Conference Proceeding

There are various trust models, and no pair are the same. Why is there no consensus on what the best trust model is yet? In this paper, we prove some impossibility results, that suggests that no perfect trust model exists. We provide a general meta-m... Read More about A Difficulty in Trust Modelling.
