PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., Oates, R., & Aickelin, U. PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

As one of the newest members in the field of articial immune systems (AIS), the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) is based on behavioural models of natural dendritic cells (DCs). Unlike other AIS, the DCA does not rely on training data, instead domain... Read More about PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Menachof, D., & Sherman, G. Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea and air ports is unknown as no benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturer benchmarks exist for individual sensors but we have not found any benchmarks that tak... Read More about Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P., Sherman, G., & Aickelin, U. Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach.

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea and air ports is largely unknown as few benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturers provide benchmarks for individual sensors but we found no benchmarks that ta... Read More about Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach.

Optimal choice of electoral preference data
Presentation / Conference Contribution
van der Eijk, C., & Kroh, M. Optimal choice of electoral preference data.

Electoral researchers are so much accustomed to analyzing the choice of the single most preferred party as the left-hand side variable of their models of electoral behavior that they often ignore revealed preference data. Drawing on random utility t... Read More about Optimal choice of electoral preference data.

Modularity and implementation of mathematical operational semantics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaskelioff, M. J., Ghani, N., & Hutton, G. Modularity and implementation of mathematical operational semantics.

Structural operational semantics is a popular technique for specifying the meaning of programs by means of inductive clauses. One seeks syntactic restrictions on those clauses so that the resulting operational semantics is well-behaved. This approa...

Globalisation, neo-liberal restructuring and rising inequality: the response of European labour.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bieler, A. Globalisation, neo-liberal restructuring and rising inequality: the response of European labour.

Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bieler, A. Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe.

It is frequently argued that European trade unions have been co-opted into the neo-liberal restructuring of the European social relations of production. The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, it will be assessed whether this allegation is actua... Read More about Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe..

ToLeRating UR-STD
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. ToLeRating UR-STD.

A new emerging paradigm of Uncertain Risk of Suspicion, Threat and Danger, observed across the field of information security, is described. Based on this paradigm a novel approach to anomaly detection is presented. Our approach is based on a simple y... Read More about ToLeRating UR-STD.

The deterministic Dendritic Cell Algorithm
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. The deterministic Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

The Dendritic Cell Algorithm is an immune-inspired algorithm originally based on the function of natural dendritic cells. The original instantiation of the algorithm is a highly stochastic algorithm. While the performance of the algorithm is good whe... Read More about The deterministic Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M. A., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P. Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation. In Annual Operational Research Conference 50 (OR 50)

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a very popular simulation technique in Operational Research. Recently, there has been the emergence of another technique, namely Agent Based Simulation (ABS). Although there is a lot of literature relating to DES an... Read More about Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation.

Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.

Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. We apply agent-based simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship between human reso... Read More about Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.

Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soria, D., Garibaldi, J. M., Ambrogi, F., Lisboa, P. J., Boracchi, P., & Biganzoli, E. M. Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices.

Clustering algorithms will, in general, either partition a given data set into a pre-specified number of clusters or will produce a hierarchy of clusters. In this paper we analyse several different clustering techniques and apply them to a particular... Read More about Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices.

Genetic algorithm seeding of idiotypic networks for mobile-robot navigation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whitbrook, A., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. Genetic algorithm seeding of idiotypic networks for mobile-robot navigation.

Robot-control designers have begun to exploit the properties of the human immune system in order to produce dynamic systems that can adapt to complex, varying, real-world tasks. Jerne’s idiotypic-network theory has proved the most popular artificial... Read More about Genetic algorithm seeding of idiotypic networks for mobile-robot navigation.
