How does the healthcare industry involve users in medical device development? Pointers for UbiHealth
Conference Proceeding
Craven, M. P., & Martin, J. L. How does the healthcare industry involve users in medical device development? Pointers for UbiHealth.

This paper introduces the Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare (MATCH) and outlines the problem of integrating a user-centred approach for development of medical devices together with the information and communication tech...

A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem
Conference Proceeding
Staggemeier, A., Clark, A., Aickelin, U., & Smith, J. A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem.

Abstract: This paper reports a lot-sizing and scheduling problem, which minimizes inventory and backlog costs on m parallel machines with sequence-dependent set-up times over t periods. Problem solutions are represented as product subsets ordered and... Read More about A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem.

And now for something completely different: looking ahead to new encryption and secrecy protocols
Conference Proceeding
Ashman, H., & Gilbert, M. (2001). And now for something completely different: looking ahead to new encryption and secrecy protocols.

Transmitting sensitive data over non-secret channels has always required encryption technologies to ensure that the data arrives without exposure to eavesdroppers. The Internet has made it possible to transmit vast volumes of data more rapidly and ch...

Leisure, family and work in the lifestyles of dual-earner families
Conference Proceeding
Such, E. (2001). Leisure, family and work in the lifestyles of dual-earner families.

This paper examines the role of leisure in the lifestyles of dual-earner families. It explores leisure as a dimension of lifestyle that has been relatively under-researched, despite a burgeoning interest in the dual-earner family in both academic res...

A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition
Conference Proceeding
Craven, M. P., Curtis, K. M., Hayes-Gill, B. H., & Thursfield, C. A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition.

A technique is presented which combines rule-based and neural network pattern recognition methods in an integrated system in order to perform learning and recognition of hand-written characters and gestures in realtime. The GesRec system is introd... Read More about A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition.

Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks
Conference Proceeding
Craven, M. P., Curtis, K. M., & Hayes-Gill, B. R. Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks.

Limited connectivity neural network architectures are investigated for the removal of crosstalk in systems using mutually overlapping sub-channels for the communication of multiple signals, either analogue or digital. The crosstalk error is modelled... Read More about Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks.

Development of a Real Time System in Algol 68.
Conference Proceeding
Mander, K. C., & Brailsford, D. F. (1975). Development of a Real Time System in Algol 68. In C. C. Charlton, & P. H. Leng (Eds.),

For various reasons, many Algol 68 compilers do not directly implement the parallel processing operations defined in the Revised Algol 68 Report. It is still possible however, to perform parallel processing, multitasking and simulation provided that... Read More about Development of a Real Time System in Algol 68..

Intelligent pipeline control - a simulation study in the automotive sector
Conference Proceeding
Brabazon, P. G., Woodcock, A., & MacCarthy, B. L. Intelligent pipeline control - a simulation study in the automotive sector.

Automotive producers are aiming to make their order fulfilment processes more flexible. Opening the pipeline of planned products for dynamic allocation to dealers/ customers is a significant step to be more flexible but the behaviour of such Virtual...

Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data.

Abstract—The UK electricity industry will shortly have available a massively increased amount of data from domestic households and this paper is a step towards deriving useful information from non intrusive household level monitoring of electrici...

Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Wagner, C., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering.

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in accordance with energy eciency targets. Clustering allows usage data, collected at the household level, to be clustered into groups...

A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions
Conference Proceeding
Farr, R., Arman, H., & Gindy, N. A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions.

Increasingly, it is recognised that human activity is causing our environment to degrade, and that there is a very real danger of doing irreversible damage to natural systems of which we have only a partial understanding. Neither living in, nor doing... Read More about A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions.

Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation
Conference Proceeding
Majid, M. A., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation.

This research investigated the simulation model behaviour of a traditional and combined discrete event as well as agent based simulation models when modelling human reactive and proactive behaviour in human centric complex systems. A departmental st... Read More about Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation.

Parity-Time coupled microresonators: Kramers-Kronig limitation
Conference Proceeding
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Sewell, P., Gradoni, G., & Benson, T. M. Parity-Time coupled microresonators: Kramers-Kronig limitation.

In this talk, we use a KKE argument to show that the presence of dispersion alters the eigen-frequencies of coupled PT coupled microresonators, so that their eigen-frequencies are no longer complex conjugates after the EP.
