Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sathiaseelan, A., Mortier, R., Goulden, M., Greiffenhagen, C., Radenkovic, M., Crowcroft, J., & McAuley, D. (2014). A feasibility study of an in-the-wild experimental public access WiFi network. In Proceedings of the Fifth ACM Symposium on Computing for Development - ACM DEV-5 '14 (33-42). https://doi.org/10.1145/2674377.2674383

© 2014 ACM. Universal Internet access has become critical to modern life, leading to many explorations of approaches to increase its availability. In this paper we report on a study of one such approach, PAWS, that seeks to understand the technical a...

Engagement in Motion: Exploring Short Term Dynamics in Page-Level Social Media Metrics (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lucas, B., Arefin, A. S., Vries, N. J. D., Berretta, R., Carlson, J., & Moscato, P. (2015). Engagement in Motion: Exploring Short Term Dynamics in Page-Level Social Media Metrics. In 2014 IEEE Fourth International Conference on Big Data and Cloud Computing. https://doi.org/10.1109/bdcloud.2014.56

Using page-level metrics of a randomly selected group of 15,625 among the top 100,000 Facebook check-in locations which rank high in terms of customer engagement, we explore if the short-term dynamical information on these metrics could deliver, via...

Doing it for themselves: the practices of amateur musicians and DIY music networks in a digital age (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hoare, M., Benford, S., Greenhalgh, C., & Chamberlain, A. (2014). Doing it for themselves: the practices of amateur musicians and DIY music networks in a digital age.

A fast expanding network of DIY music communities in the UK see digital technologies transforming ways in which part-time amateur musicians are able to collabo- rate creatively and form alliances, producing unique per- formance techniques, experiment...

Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Galea, M., Pickering, S. J., Tighe, C., XU, Z., Hamiti, T., & Gerada, C. (2014, September). Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing. Presented at XXI International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM '2014), Berlin, Germany

In this paper, the design and construction aspects of a wheel actuator to be used for aircraft taxiing on the ground and which will be located in the main landing gear are addressed. The main challenges with the application are the high torque densit... Read More about Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing.

Robust optimization of a traction PMASR motor according to given driving cycles (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Degano, M., Carraro, E., & Bianchi, N. (2014). Robust optimization of a traction PMASR motor according to given driving cycles. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICELMACH.2014.6960192

In the coming years, the electrification and the deployment of the electric motors in the urban transports will become a reality more and more widespread. The optimization stage of the electric motors usually does not consider in detail the real driv... Read More about Robust optimization of a traction PMASR motor according to given driving cycles.

On the analytical estimation of the airgap field in synchronous reluctance machine (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tessarolo, A., Degano, M., & Bianchi, N. (2014). On the analytical estimation of the airgap field in synchronous reluctance machine. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICELMACH.2014.6960187

Synchronous reluctance motors with rotor flux barriers are a promising type of electric machines thanks to various benefits, among the others, the absence of permanent magnets and rotor excitation. A challenge in the study of these motors is the accu... Read More about On the analytical estimation of the airgap field in synchronous reluctance machine.

Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718 (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell-Smith, J., Murray, J., Kunieda, M., & Clare, A. (2014). Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718.

Electrolyte jet machining is an emerging non-conventional machining process which is capable of selectively applying multi-scale surface textures. Surfaces processed in this way do not suffer from thermal damage and hence this technique is highly sui... Read More about Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718.

Crowd-sourcing applied to photograph-based automatic habitat classification (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Torres Torres, M., & Qiu, G. (2014, November). Crowd-sourcing applied to photograph-based automatic habitat classification. Presented at MAED 2014 - Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Regular and Data Challenge Workshop on Multimedia Analysis for Ecological Data, Orlando Florida USA

Habitat classification is a crucial activity for monitoring environmental biodiversity. To date, manual methods, which are laborious, time-consuming and expensive, remain the most successful alternative. Most automatic methods use remote-sensed image...
