A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem
Conference Proceeding

Abstract: This paper reports a lot-sizing and scheduling problem, which minimizes inventory and backlog costs on m parallel machines with sequence-dependent set-up times over t periods. Problem solutions are represented as product subsets ordered and... Read More about A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem.

And now for something completely different: looking ahead to new encryption and secrecy protocols
Conference Proceeding

Transmitting sensitive data over non-secret channels has always required encryption technologies to ensure that the data arrives without exposure to eavesdroppers. The Internet has made it possible to transmit vast volumes of data more rapidly and ch...

Leisure, family and work in the lifestyles of dual-earner families
Conference Proceeding

This paper examines the role of leisure in the lifestyles of dual-earner families. It explores leisure as a dimension of lifestyle that has been relatively under-researched, despite a burgeoning interest in the dual-earner family in both academic res...

A New Genetic Algorithm for Set Covering Problems
Conference Proceeding

An indirect genetic algorithm for the non-unicost set covering problem is presented. The algorithm is a two-stage meta-heuristic, which in the past was successfully applied to similar multiple-choice optimisation problems. The two stages of the algor...

Nurse Rostering with Genetic Algorithms
Conference Proceeding

In recent years genetic algorithms have emerged as a useful tool for the heuristic solution of complex discrete optimisation problems. In particular there has been considerable interest in their use in tackling problems arising in the areas of schedu... Read More about Nurse Rostering with Genetic Algorithms.

Das rhetorische Ich: Hans Magnus Enzensbergers Selbstinszenierungen
Conference Proceeding

The article discusses the rhetorical strategies underlying Hans Magnus Enzensberger's presentation of his work as an author, editor and poet.

A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition
Conference Proceeding

A technique is presented which combines rule-based and neural network pattern recognition methods in an integrated system in order to perform learning and recognition of hand-written characters and gestures in realtime. The GesRec system is introd... Read More about A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition.

Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks
Conference Proceeding

Limited connectivity neural network architectures are investigated for the removal of crosstalk in systems using mutually overlapping sub-channels for the communication of multiple signals, either analogue or digital. The crosstalk error is modelled... Read More about Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks.

Development of a Real Time System in Algol 68.
Conference Proceeding

For various reasons, many Algol 68 compilers do not directly implement the parallel processing operations defined in the Revised Algol 68 Report. It is still possible however, to perform parallel processing, multitasking and simulation provided that... Read More about Development of a Real Time System in Algol 68..

Intelligent pipeline control - a simulation study in the automotive sector
Conference Proceeding

Automotive producers are aiming to make their order fulfilment processes more flexible. Opening the pipeline of planned products for dynamic allocation to dealers/ customers is a significant step to be more flexible but the behaviour of such Virtual...

Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data
Conference Proceeding

Abstract—The UK electricity industry will shortly have available a massively increased amount of data from domestic households and this paper is a step towards deriving useful information from non intrusive household level monitoring of electrici...

Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in accordance with energy eciency targets. Clustering allows usage data, collected at the household level, to be clustered into groups...

A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions
Conference Proceeding

Increasingly, it is recognised that human activity is causing our environment to degrade, and that there is a very real danger of doing irreversible damage to natural systems of which we have only a partial understanding. Neither living in, nor doing... Read More about A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions.

Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation
Conference Proceeding

This research investigated the simulation model behaviour of a traditional and combined discrete event as well as agent based simulation models when modelling human reactive and proactive behaviour in human centric complex systems. A departmental st... Read More about Modelling reactive and proactive behaviour in simulation.

Parity-Time coupled microresonators: Kramers-Kronig limitation
Conference Proceeding

In this talk, we use a KKE argument to show that the presence of dispersion alters the eigen-frequencies of coupled PT coupled microresonators, so that their eigen-frequencies are no longer complex conjugates after the EP.

Progressivity for voice interface design
Conference Proceeding

Drawing from Conversation Analysis (CA), we examine how the orientation towards progressivity in talk--keeping things moving--might help us better understand and design for voice interactions. We introduce progressivity by surveying its explication i... Read More about Progressivity for voice interface design.
