Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Selective laser melting (SLM) of aluminium alloys faces more challenges than other ongoing alloys such as stainless steels and titanium alloys because of the material’s properties. It is important to study single scan tracks if high density large par... Read More about Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks.

On becoming a counselor: challenges and opportunities to support interpersonal skills training (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Well-developed interpersonal skills are crucial for all social interactions. However, understanding how interpersonal skills are taught or learned, and how technology can play a part in this, is yet an under-researched area in CSCW and HCI research....

Control of a hybrid modular multilevel converter during grid voltage unbalance (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The recently proposed parallel hybrid modular multilevel converter is considered to be a low loss, low component count converter with soft switching capability of the ‘main’ bridge. The converter has similar advantages to other emerging modular multi... Read More about Control of a hybrid modular multilevel converter during grid voltage unbalance.

Using qualitative spatial logic for validating crowd-sourced geospatial data (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We describe a tool, MatchMaps, that generates sameAs and partOf matches between spatial objects (such as shops, shopping centres, etc.) in crowd-sourced and authoritative geospatial datasets. MatchMaps uses reasoning in qualitative spatial logic, des... Read More about Using qualitative spatial logic for validating crowd-sourced geospatial data.

Heuristic generation via parameter tuning for online bin packing (2015)
Conference Proceeding

© 2014 IEEE. Online bin packing requires immediate decisions to be made for placing an incoming item one at a time into bins of fixed capacity without causing any overflow. The goal is to maximise the average bin fullness after placement of a long st... Read More about Heuristic generation via parameter tuning for online bin packing.

Re-conceptualising conceptual understanding in mathematics (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this theoretical paper we explore interrelationships between conceptual and procedural understanding of mathematics in the context of individuals and groups. We question the enterprise of attempting to assess learners’ mathematical understanding b... Read More about Re-conceptualising conceptual understanding in mathematics.

A 3D scene analysis framework and descriptors for risk evaluation (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we evaluate the notion of scene analysis with regard to risk. We consider the problem of evaluating risk and potential hazards in an environment and providing a quantified risk score. A definition of risk is given incorporating two elem... Read More about A 3D scene analysis framework and descriptors for risk evaluation.

Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Command and control environments ranging from transport control rooms to disaster response have long been of interest to HCI and CSCW as rich sites of interactive technology use embedded in work practice. Drawing on our engagement with disaster respo... Read More about Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response.

Mixed integer programming with decomposition to solve a workforce scheduling and routing problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We propose an approach based on mixed integer programming (MIP) with decomposition to solve a workforce scheduling and routing problem, in which a set of workers should be assigned to tasks that are distributed across different geographical locations...
