Designing a multi-agent approach system for distributed course timetabling (2011)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes tackling the difficult course timetabling problem using a multi-agent approach. The proposed design seeks to deal with the problem using a distributed solution environment in which a mediator agent coordinates various timetabling...

Modelling Reactive and Proactive Behaviour in Simulation: A Case Study in a University Organisation (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Simulation is a well established what-if scenario analysis tool in Operational Research (OR). While traditionally Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) are the predominant simulation techniques in OR, a new simulation t...

Nature of real-world multi-objective vehicle routing with evolutionary algorithms (2011)
Conference Proceeding

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows VRPTW) is an important logistics problem which in the realworld appears to be multi-objective. Most research in this area has been carried out using classic datasets designed for the single-objective case... Read More about Nature of real-world multi-objective vehicle routing with evolutionary algorithms.

Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Mobile eBook readers are now commonplace in today’s society, but their document layout algorithms remain basic, largely due to constraints imposed by short battery life. At present, with any eBook file format not based on PDF, the layout of the docum... Read More about Reflowable documents composed from pre-rendered atomic components.

Automated conversion of Web-based marriage register data into a printed format with predefined layout (2011)
Conference Proceeding

The Phillimore Marriage Registers for England were published in the period 1896 to 1922 and have defined a standard layout format for the typesetting of marriage data. However, not all English parish churches had their marriage registers analysed and...

Scalable reinforcement learning through hierarchical decompositions for weakly-coupled problems (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Reinforcement Learning, or Reward-Dependent Learning, has been very successful at describing how animals and humans adjust their actions so as to increase their gains and reduce their losses in a wide variety of tasks. Empirical studies have furtherm... Read More about Scalable reinforcement learning through hierarchical decompositions for weakly-coupled problems.

Widefield ultrastable heterodyne interferometry using a custom CMOS modulated light camera (2011)
Conference Proceeding

A method of detecting optical heterodyne interference fringes using a custom CMOS modulated light camera array has been developed. Widefield phase images are generated using quadrature demodulation and are kept stable using a feedback system. © 2011... Read More about Widefield ultrastable heterodyne interferometry using a custom CMOS modulated light camera.

Hybrid heuristic for multi-carrier transportation plans (2011)
Conference Proceeding

This paper describes a hybrid heuristic approach to construct transportation plans for a singlecustomer multi-carrier scenario that arises at 3T Logistics Ltd, a UK company that provides outsourced transportation planning and management services. The... Read More about Hybrid heuristic for multi-carrier transportation plans.

Comparing System Dynamics and Agent-Based Simulation for tumour growth and its interactions with effector cells (2011)
Conference Proceeding

There is little research concerning comparisons and combination of System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). ABS is a paradigm used in many levels of abstraction, including those levels covered by SDS. We believe that the est...

Conveying intentions through haptics in human-computer collaboration (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Haptics has been used as a natural way for humans to communicate with computers in collaborative virtual environments. Human-computer collaboration is typically achieved by sharing control of the task between a human and a computer operator. An impor...

Designing difficult office space allocation problem instances with mathematical programming (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Office space allocation (OSA) refers to the assignment of room space to a set of entities (people, machines, roles, etc.), with the goal of optimising the space utilisation while satisfying a set of additional constraints. In this paper, a mathematic... Read More about Designing difficult office space allocation problem instances with mathematical programming.

A data-based power transformation for compositional data (2011)

Comparing hybrid constructive heuristics for university course timetabling (2011)
Conference Proceeding

This extended abstract outlines four hybrid heuristics to generate initial solutions to the University course timetabling problem. These hybrid approaches combine graph colouring heuristics and local search in different ways. Results of experiments u...

Into the wild: challenges and opportunities for field trial methods (2011)
Conference Proceeding

Field trials of experimental systems `in the wild' have developed into a standard method within HCI - testing new systems with groups of users in relatively unconstrained settings outside of the laboratory. In this paper we discuss methodological cha... Read More about Into the wild: challenges and opportunities for field trial methods.
