Augmenting a guitar with its digital footprint (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We explore how to digitally augment musical instruments by connecting them to their social histories. We describe the use of Internet of Things technologies to connect an acoustic guitar to its digital footprint – a record of how it was designed, bui...

Considering musical structure in location-based experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Locative music experiences are often non-linear and as such the final structure of the music heard is guided by the movements of the user. We note an absence of principles regarding how composers should approach the structuring of such locative sound... Read More about Considering musical structure in location-based experiences.

A compromise based fuzzy goal programming approach with satisfaction function for multi-objective portfolio optimisation (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we investigate a multi-objective portfolio selection model with three criteria: risk, return and liquidity for investors. Non-probabilistic uncertainty factors in the market, such as imprecision and vagueness of investors’ preference an... Read More about A compromise based fuzzy goal programming approach with satisfaction function for multi-objective portfolio optimisation.

Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Manipulation of the through-thickness yarn path enables 3D woven reinforcement to separate locally in the form of a bifurcation, creating net-shaped preforms for T- and I-beams. Preforming introduces fibre architecture deformation at the 3D woven bif... Read More about Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms.

A comparison of crossover control mechanisms within single-point selection hyper-heuristics using HyFlex (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Hyper-heuristics are search methodologies which operate at a higher level of abstraction than traditional search and optimisation techniques. Rather than operating on a search space of solutions directly, a hyper-heuristic searches a space of low-lev... Read More about A comparison of crossover control mechanisms within single-point selection hyper-heuristics using HyFlex.

A modified choice function hyper-heuristic controlling unary and binary operators (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Hyper-heuristics are a class of high-level search methodologies which operate on a search space of low-level heuristics or components, rather than on solutions directly. Traditional iterative selection hyper-heuristics rely on two key components, a h... Read More about A modified choice function hyper-heuristic controlling unary and binary operators.

A simulated annealing approach to supplier selection aware inventory planning (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Selection of an appropriate supplier is a crucial and challenging task in the effective management of a supply chain. Also, appropriate inventory management is critical to the success of a supply chain operation. In recent years, there has been a gro...

Development of LFT-based models for robust stability analysis of a generic electrical power system over all operating conditions (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper develops a method to analyse robust stability of a generic electrical power system for safe-critical applications over all operating conditions. Standard methods can guaranty stability under nominal conditions but do not take into account... Read More about Development of LFT-based models for robust stability analysis of a generic electrical power system over all operating conditions.

Identifying candidate risk factors for prescription drug side effects using causal contrast set mining (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Big longitudinal observational databases present the opportunity to extract new knowledge in a cost effective manner. Unfortunately, the ability of these databases to be used for causal inference is limited due to the passive way in which the data ar...

Practical run-time norm enforcement with bounded lookahead (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Norms have been widely proposed as a means of coordinating and controlling the behaviour of agents in a multi-agent system. A key challenge in normative MAS is norm enforcement: how and when to restrict the agents’ behaviour in order to obtain a des... Read More about Practical run-time norm enforcement with bounded lookahead.

HAC-ER: A Disaster Response System based on Human-Agent Collectives (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes a novel disaster management system called HAC-ER that addresses some of the challenges faced by emergency responders by enabling humans and agents, using state-of-the-art algorithms, to collaboratively plan and carry out tasks in... Read More about HAC-ER: A Disaster Response System based on Human-Agent Collectives.

Separate phase-locking and coherent combining of two laser diodes in a Michelson cavity (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We describe a new coherent beam combining architecture based on passive phase-locking of two laser diodes in a Michelson external cavity on their rear facet, and their coherent combination on the front facet. As a proof-of-principle, two ridge lasers... Read More about Separate phase-locking and coherent combining of two laser diodes in a Michelson cavity.

Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators (2015)
Conference Proceeding

There has been a massive growth in the number of people who film and upload amateur footage of events to services such as Facebook and Youtube, or even stream live to services such as LiveStream. We present an exploratory study that investigates the... Read More about Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators.

ArtMaps: Interpreting the spatial footprints of artworks (2015)
Conference Proceeding

© Copyright 2015 ACM. Creating and utilizing simple links between items and locations in map-based systems has become a mainstream component of modern computing. In this paper, we explore support for 'art mapping', an activity that requires considera... Read More about ArtMaps: Interpreting the spatial footprints of artworks.

Playing the Legal Card: Using Ideation Cards to Raise Data Protection Issues within the Design Process (2015)
Conference Proceeding

© Copyright 2015 ACM. The regulatory climate is in a process of change. Design, having been implicated for some time, is now explicitly linked to law. This paper recognises the heightened role of designers in the regulation of ambient interactive tec...

Provenance for the people: an HCI perspective on the W3C PROV standard through an online game (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In the information age, tools for examining the validity of data are invaluable. Provenance is one such tool, and the PROV model proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium in 2013 offers a means of expressing provenance in a machine readable format. I...
