Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The weather is unpredictable and can have a large impact on the profitability of seasonal businesses, particularly if staffing requirements are highly temperature-dependent. In this paper we describe our efforts in developing a what-if analysis tool... Read More about Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers.

Learning to transfer: transferring latent task structures and its application to person-specific facial action unit detection (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this article we explore the problem of constructing person-specific models for the detection of facial Action Units (AUs), addressing the problem from the point of view of Transfer Learning and Multi-Task Learning. Our starting point is the fact t... Read More about Learning to transfer: transferring latent task structures and its application to person-specific facial action unit detection.

Conference Proceeding

In this position paper, we present ideas about creating a next generation framework towards an adaptive interface for data communication and visualisation systems. Our objective is to develop a system that accepts large data sets as inputs and provid... Read More about Adaptive Data Communication Interface: A User-Centric Visual Data Interpretation Framework.

Feedback on feedback – does it work? (2015)
Conference Proceeding

It is well documented that providing assessment feedback through the medium of screencasts is favourably received by students and encourages deeper engagement with the feedback given by the language teacher (inter alia Abdous & Yoshimura, 2010; Brick...

The first Facial Landmark Tracking in-the-Wild Challenge: benchmark and results (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Detection and tracking of faces in image sequences is among the most well studied problems in the intersection of statistical machine learning and computer vision. Often, tracking and detection methodologies use a rigid representation to describe the... Read More about The first Facial Landmark Tracking in-the-Wild Challenge: benchmark and results.

A Variable Neighbourhood Search for nurse scheduling with balanced preference satisfaction (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem widely tackled in the literature. Recently, a new variant of this problem was proposed, called nurse scheduling problem with balanced preference satisfaction (NSPBPS). This pa...

Attitudes towards health promotion practices in pre-registered nurses: relationship with body weight and self- perception (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Aeroengine bearing chambers are geometrically complex, typically containing shafts, bearings, seals and stationary components. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and so the chamber contains a highly rotating two-phase (oil/air) flow where th...

A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The workforce scheduling and routing problem (WSRP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem where a set of workers must perform visits to geographically scattered locations. We present a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic algorithm to... Read More about A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem.

Indoor location based services market drivers and challenges (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Indoor Location Based Service (LBS) applications, such as indoor navigation, have not yet found a prominent position in the market as it deals with many challenges, both technical and non-technical. They include indoor positioning, availability and u... Read More about Indoor location based services market drivers and challenges.

Identification and treatment of tobacco dependence among young people in residential homes during the statutory annual health assessment: a retrospective case-note review (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Background Rates of tobacco smoking are substantially higher among young people accommodated in residential homes than in the general youth population. Public health guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recomm...

Conference Proceeding

On the impact of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning with Bluetooth low energy (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper focuses on the study of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning applications using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). While BLE tries to avoid interference with other protocols in the same frequency band, such as Wi-Fi, the intra-sy...

Swiss Cheeses and Their Applications (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Swiss cheese sets have been used in the literature as useful examples in the study of rational approximation and uniform algebras. In this paper, we give a survey of Swiss cheese constructions and related results. We describe some notable examples of... Read More about Swiss Cheeses and Their Applications.

A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The detection of outliers in time series data is a core component of many data-mining applications and broadly applied in industrial applications. In large data sets algorithms that are efficient in both time and space are required. One area where sp... Read More about A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection.

Experimental evaluation of ultrasonic oscillating temperature sensors (UOTS) under cyclically changing temperatures (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In contrast to most conventional temperature sensors, which need to come to thermal equilibrium with the medium of interest to report its temperature, UOTS interrogate the medium based on the propagation speed of ultrasound, and will return temperatu...
