Utilizing gravity in movement-based games and play
Conference Proceeding
Hämäläinen, P., Marshall, J., Kajastila, R., Byrne, R., & Mueller, F. ‘. (2015). Utilizing gravity in movement-based games and play.

This paper seeks to expand the understanding of gravity as a powerful but underexplored design resource for movement-based games and play. We examine how gravity has been utilized and manipulated in digital, physical, and mixed reality games and spor... Read More about Utilizing gravity in movement-based games and play.

This paper studies the impact of a dispersive gain/loss material model on Parity-Time (PT) coupled microresonator cavity structures using the time-domain Transmission-Line Modelling method. A modal analysis is also performed to compare the modal comp... Read More about Coupled parity-time symmetric cavities: results from transmission line modelling simulations.

Threshold preservation of PT-resonant structures in realistic-dispersive medium
Conference Proceeding
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Benson, T. M., Sewell, P., & Gradoni, G. Threshold preservation of PT-resonant structures in realistic-dispersive medium.

The impact of material dispersion in the performance of parity-time (PT) symmetric coupled microresonators is studied. The eigenfrequencies of the coupled PT-system are analysed for different dispersion parameter. We show that realistic dispersion pr...

The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways
Conference Proceeding
Dalby, D. (2014). The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

Recent policy changes continue to raise the profile of mathematics in post-16 education but the integration of this seemingly academic subject within the context of vocational education remains challenging. In this paper evidence from a multi-method... Read More about The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse
Conference Proceeding
Blum, J., Flintham, M., Jacobs, R., Shipp, V., Kefalidou, G., Brown, M., & McAuley, D. (2013). The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse.

Ubiquitous and pervasive computing techniques have been used to inform discourses around climate change and energy insecurity, traditionally through data capture and representation for scientists, policy makers and the public. Research into re-engagi... Read More about The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse.

Alfonso de Cartagena on the affair of the Canaries (1436–37): humanist rhetoric and the idea of the nation-state in fifteenth–century Castile
Conference Proceeding
Lawrance, J. Alfonso de Cartagena on the affair of the Canaries (1436–37): humanist rhetoric and the idea of the nation-state in fifteenth–century Castile.

This paper examines the political and juridical theories expounded in Allegationes super conquesta insularum Canarie contra Portugalenses, a brief prepared in 1436 or 1437 by Alfonso de Cartagena, bishop of Burgos and Castilian legate to the Council... Read More about Alfonso de Cartagena on the affair of the Canaries (1436–37): humanist rhetoric and the idea of the nation-state in fifteenth–century Castile.

Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates
Conference Proceeding
Roadknight, C., Aickelin, U., Scholefield, J., & Durrant, L. Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates.

In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal, tumour cla... Read More about Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates.

Performance measurement under increasing environmental uncertainty in the context of interval type-2 fuzzy logic based robotic sailing
Conference Proceeding
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. Performance measurement under increasing environmental uncertainty in the context of interval type-2 fuzzy logic based robotic sailing.

Performance measurement of robotic controllers based on fuzzy logic, operating under uncertainty, is a subject area which has been somewhat ignored in the current literature. In this paper standard measures such as RMSE are shown to be inappropriate...

Towns conquer: a gamified application to collect geographical names (vernacular names/toponyms)
Conference Proceeding
Castellote, J., Huerta, J., Pescador, J., & Brown, M. (2013). Towns conquer: a gamified application to collect geographical names (vernacular names/toponyms).

The traditional model for geospatial crowd sourcing asks the public to use their free time collecting geospatial data for no obvious reward. This model has shown to work very well on projects such as Open Street Map, but comes with some clear disadva...

On the role of the AIS practitioner
Conference Proceeding
Hart, E., Read, M., McEwan, C., Aickelin, U., & Greensmith, J. On the role of the AIS practitioner.

Cognisant of the gulf between engineers and immunologists that currenty hinders a truly inter-disciplinary approach to the field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), we propose a redefinition of the term AIS practitioner, as an individual who ident...

Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets
Conference Proceeding
McCulloch, J., Wagner, C., & Aickelin, U. Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets.

Similarity measures provide one of the core tools that enable reasoning about fuzzy sets. While many types of similarity measures exist for type-1 and interval type-2 fuzzy sets, there are very few similarity measures that enable the comparison of...

Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID
Conference Proceeding
Heijkoop, J., & Clegg, J. Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.

The Heijkoop method is used widely in ID challenging behaviour services across Northern Europe; the lack of an English-language account has inhibited its uptake in the UK. The method is fundamentally experiential and aimed at understanding the ‘Who’... Read More about Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.
