Heuristic approach for automated shelf space allocation (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Shelf space allocation is the problem of efficiently arranging retail products on shelves in order to maximise profit, improve stock control, improve customer satisfaction, etc. Most work reported in the literature on this problem has focused on the...

Wind turbine-energy storage control system for delivering constant demand power shared by DFIGs through droop characteristics (2009)
Conference Proceeding

This paper investigates embedding Energy Storage (ES) with multiple wind turbines in order to deliver to the grid a smooth and constant power as demanded by the system operator. The demand power is shared by DFIGs proportional to their ratings utiliz...

Automated re-typesetting, indexing and content enhancement for scanned marriage registers (2009)
Conference Proceeding

For much of England and Wales marriage registers began to be kept in 1537. The marriage details were recorded locally, and in longhand, until 1st July 1837, when central records began. All registers were kept in the local parish church. In the perio... Read More about Automated re-typesetting, indexing and content enhancement for scanned marriage registers.

Cricket batting technique analyser/trainer using fuzzy logic (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Within this paper a system is proposed to capture the motion of a cricket batter whilst playing a stroke. The system is based on the classification of cricket batting strokes using fuzzy logic. The system was then used to analyze the motion of novice... Read More about Cricket batting technique analyser/trainer using fuzzy logic.

Social motives in network formation: an experiment (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Literature on network formation typically assumes that people create and remove relations as to maximize their outcome in the network. It is mostly neglected that people might also care about the outcomes of others when creating and removing links. I... Read More about Social motives in network formation: an experiment.

FFT-based estimation of large motions in images: a robust gradient-based approach (2009)
Conference Proceeding

A fast and robust gradient-based motion estimation technique which operates in the frequency domain is presented. The algorithm combines the natural advantages of a good feature selection offered by gradient-based methods with the robustness and spee...

Experimental evaluation of hybrid cycloconverters (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Power converters consisting of naturally commutated thyristors such as cycloconverters and current source inverters were the first used in driving electrical motors with variable speed but now due to their inferior performance compared to forced comm...

A cost-effective solution to power the gate drivers of multilevel inverters using the bootstrap power supply technique (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Multilevel inverters are traditionally seen as a step forward in DC/AC conversion, providing more output voltage levels, better quality of the generated waveform and lower switching losses than the two-level and can process higher voltages with a giv...

Predicting the human response to an emergency (2009)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a case study of an approach for predicting the human response to a domestic fire, using a combination of a talk-through technique (Kirwan and Ainsworth, 1992) and sequential analysis (Bakeman and Gottman, 1986). 20 participants w...

Development of a technique for predicting the human response to an emergency situation (2009)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents development work on a new approach for predicting the human response to an emergency situation. The study builds upon an initial investigation in which 20 participants were asked to predict what actions they would take in the eve...

Investigating output accuracy for a discrete event simulation model and an agent based simulation model (2009)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we investigate output accuracy for a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model and Agent Based Simulation (ABS) model. The purpose of this investigation is to find out which of these simulation techniques is the best one for modelling hum...
