An elitist GRASP metaheuristic for the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem (2010)
Conference Proceeding

We propose an elitist Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) metaheuristic algorithm, called mGRASP/MH, for approximating the Pareto-optimal front in the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem (mQAP). The proposed algorithm is char... Read More about An elitist GRASP metaheuristic for the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem.

Phenomenological modeling of cell-to-cell and beat-to-beat variability in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Experimental action potential (AP) recordings in isolated ventricular myoctes display significant temporal beatto- beat variability in morphology and duration. Furthermore, significant cell-to-cell differences in AP also exist even for isolated cells...

Characterization of energy storage devices for constant power applications (2010)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a few known characterization techniques for supercapacitors have been evaluated with the purpose of being able to predict the roundtrip efficiency of an energy storage system under constant power application. It is found that the user... Read More about Characterization of energy storage devices for constant power applications.

Concrete pavements as a source of heating and cooling (2010)
Conference Proceeding

There is great potential to use the large open space of pavement structures, equipped with an embedded pipe network, in conjunction with a heat pump, to provide heating and cooling for adjacent buildings, e.g. airport terminals, shopping centres etc,...

Improved dynamic lexicographic ordering for multi-objective optimisation (2010)
Conference Proceeding

There is a variety of methods for ranking objectives in multiobjective optimization and some are difficult to define because they require information a priori (e.g. establishing weights in a weighted approach or setting the ordering in a lexicographi...

CODEA : an agent based multi-objective optimization framework (2010)
Conference Proceeding

This work presents CODEA, a COoperative DEcentralized Architecture for Multiobjective Optimization. CODEA is an objectoriented framework that aims at the creation of groups of agents to tackle complex problems by cooperative search. This cooperation...

Modelling office energy consumption: an agent based approach (2010)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we develop an agent-based model which integrates four important elements, i.e. organisational energy management policies/regulations, energy management technologies, electric appliances and equipment, and human behaviour, based on a ca...

Optimized reprocessing of documents using stored processor state (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Variable Data Printing (VDP) allows customised versions of material such as advertising flyers to be readily produced. However, VDP is often extremely demanding of computing resources because, even when much of the material stays invariant from one d...

Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man (2010)
Conference Proceeding

The standard approach to proving compiler correctness for concurrent languages requires the use of multiple translations into an intermediate process calculus. We present a simpler approach that avoids the need for such an intermediate language, usin... Read More about Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Despite recent advances in DNA chip technology current microarray gene expression studies are still affected by high noise levels, small sample sizes and large numbers of uninformative genes. Combining microarray data with cellular pathway data by us... Read More about Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples.

Iterated heuristic algorithms for the classroom assignment problem (2010)
Conference Proceeding

We tackle the classroom assignment problem in a large University with the objective of minimising the total distance between all classrooms assigned to teaching activities in the same course. Additional requirements that should be satisfied include:... Read More about Iterated heuristic algorithms for the classroom assignment problem.

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms with probabilistic representation based on pheromone trails (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Recently, the research on quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QEA) has attracted some attention in the area of evolutionary computation. QEA use a probabilistic representation, called Q-bit, to encode individuals in population. Unlike standard...

Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly (2010)
Conference Proceeding

The current investigations on hyper-heuristics design have sprung up in two different flavours: heuristics that choose heuristics and heuristics that generate heuristics. In the latter, the goal is to develop a problem-domain independent strategy to... Read More about Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly.
