The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dalby, D. (2014). The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

Recent policy changes continue to raise the profile of mathematics in post-16 education but the integration of this seemingly academic subject within the context of vocational education remains challenging. In this paper evidence from a multi-method... Read More about The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Blum, J., Flintham, M., Jacobs, R., Shipp, V., Kefalidou, G., Brown, M., & McAuley, D. (2013). The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse.

Ubiquitous and pervasive computing techniques have been used to inform discourses around climate change and energy insecurity, traditionally through data capture and representation for scientists, policy makers and the public. Research into re-engagi... Read More about The Timestreams platform: artist mediated participatory sensing for environmental discourse.

Performance measurement under increasing environmental uncertainty in the context of interval type-2 fuzzy logic based robotic sailing
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. Performance measurement under increasing environmental uncertainty in the context of interval type-2 fuzzy logic based robotic sailing.

Performance measurement of robotic controllers based on fuzzy logic, operating under uncertainty, is a subject area which has been somewhat ignored in the current literature. In this paper standard measures such as RMSE are shown to be inappropriate...

Towns conquer: a gamified application to collect geographical names (vernacular names/toponyms)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castellote, J., Huerta, J., Pescador, J., & Brown, M. (2013). Towns conquer: a gamified application to collect geographical names (vernacular names/toponyms).

The traditional model for geospatial crowd sourcing asks the public to use their free time collecting geospatial data for no obvious reward. This model has shown to work very well on projects such as Open Street Map, but comes with some clear disadva...

On the role of the AIS practitioner
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Read, M., McEwan, C., Aickelin, U., & Greensmith, J. On the role of the AIS practitioner.

Cognisant of the gulf between engineers and immunologists
that currenty hinders a truly inter-disciplinary approach to
the field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), we propose
a redefinition of the term AIS practitioner, as an individual who ident... Read More about On the role of the AIS practitioner.

Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCulloch, J., Wagner, C., & Aickelin, U. Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets.

Similarity measures provide one of the core tools
that enable reasoning about fuzzy sets. While many types of
similarity measures exist for type-1 and interval type-2 fuzzy sets, there are very few similarity measures that enable the comparison of... Read More about Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets.

Rural Enterprise as an Agent for Technology Development and Facilitation in the Digital Economy

The right of communication to the public in the cloud: an EU perspective
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Derclaye, E. The right of communication to the public in the cloud: an EU perspective.

This paper examines the law relating to the right of communication to the public with reference to cloud storage and retrieval. It does so under the WIPO Internet treaties and EU statutory and case law, with some references to Member State statutory...

An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dent, I., Craig, T., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage.

How a household varies their regular usage of electricity
is useful information for organisations to allow accurate
targeting of behaviour modification initiatives with the aim of improving the overall efficiency of the electricity network. The var... Read More about An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage.

Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heijkoop, J., & Clegg, J. Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.

The Heijkoop method is used widely in ID challenging behaviour services across Northern Europe; the lack of an English-language account has inhibited its uptake in the UK. The method is fundamentally experiential and aimed at understanding the ‘Who’... Read More about Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ladas, A., Aickelin, U., Garibaldi, J. M., & Ferguson, E. Using clustering to extract personality information from socio economic data.

It has become apparent that models that have been applied widely in economics, including Machine Learning techniques and Data Mining methods, should take into consideration principles that derive from the theories of Personality Psychology in order t...

Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, T., Siebers, P.-O., & Aickelin, U. Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion.

Technology adoption theories assume that users’ acceptance of an innovative technology is on a voluntary basis. However, sometimes users are force to accept an innovation. In this case users have to learn what it is useful for and how to use it. This... Read More about Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion.
