Modelling electrical car diffusion based on agents (2012)
Journal Article
Yu, L., Zhang, T., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. (2012). Modelling electrical car diffusion based on agents. https://doi.org/10.4156/jdcta.vol6.issue19.52

Replacing traditional fossil fuel vehicles with innovative zero-emission vehicles for the transport in cities is one of the major tactics to achieve the UK government 2020 target of cutting emission. We are developing an agent-based simulation mode... Read More about Modelling electrical car diffusion based on agents.

Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Craig, T., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. (2012). Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity.

Changes in the UK electricity market, particularly with the roll out of smart meters, will provide greatly increased opportunities for initiatives intended to change households' electricity usage patterns for the benefit of the overall system. Users... Read More about Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity.

Evaluating different cost-benefit analysis methods for port security operations (2012)
Book Chapter
Sherman, G., Siebers, P., Menachof, D., & Aickelin, U. (2012). Evaluating different cost-benefit analysis methods for port security operations. In J. Faulin, A. A. Juan, S. E. Grasman, & M. J. Fry (Eds.), Decision making in service industries: a practical approach. CRC Press

Service industries, such as ports, are attentive to their standards, a smooth service flow and economic viability. Cost benefit analysis has proven itself as a useful tool to support this type of decision making; it has been used by businesses and go...

A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK (2012)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. (2012). A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK. Energy Policy, 47, 102-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2012.04.027

This paper reviews major studies in three traditional lines of research in residential energy consumption in the UK, i.e. economic/infrastructure, behaviour, and load profiling. Based on the review the paper proposes a three-dimensional model for arc...

Investigating the effectiveness of variance reduction techniques in manufacturing, call center and cross-docking discrete event simulation models (2012)
Book Chapter
Adewunmi, A., & Aickelin, U. (2012). Investigating the effectiveness of variance reduction techniques in manufacturing, call center and cross-docking discrete event simulation models. In S. Bangsow (Ed.), Use cases of discrete event simulation: appliance and research. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-28777-0

Variance reduction techniques have been shown by others in the past to be a useful tool to reduce variance in Simulation studies. However, their application and success in the past has been mainly domain specific, with relatively little guidelines as...

The dendritic cell algorithm for intrusion detection (2012)
Book Chapter
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. (2012). The dendritic cell algorithm for intrusion detection. In P. Lio, & D. Verma (Eds.), Biologically inspired networking and sensing : algorithms and architectures. IGI Global

As one of the solutions to intrusion detection problems, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have shown their advantages. Unlike genetic algorithms, there is no one archetypal AIS, instead there are four major paradigms. Among them, the Dendritic Cell Al...

An investigation into the relationship between type-2 FOU size and environmental uncertainty in robotic control (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2012). An investigation into the relationship between type-2 FOU size and environmental uncertainty in robotic control.

It has often been suggested that when faced with large amount of uncertainty in situations of automated control type-2 fuzzy logic based controllers will out perform the simpler type-1 varieties due to the latter lacking a mechanism to model this un...

Privileged information for data clustering (2012)
Journal Article
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. (2012). Privileged information for data clustering. Information Sciences, 194, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2011.04.025

Many machine learning algorithms assume that all input samples are independently and identically distributed from some common distribution on either the input space X, in the case of unsupervised learning, or the input and output space X Y in the...

A beginner's guide to systems simulation in immunology (2012)
Book Chapter
Figueredo, G. P., Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., & Foan, S. (2012). A beginner's guide to systems simulation in immunology. In C. A. Coello Coello, J. Greensmith, N. Krasnogor, P. Liò, G. Nicosia, & M. Pavone (Eds.), Artificial immune systems: 11th International Conference, ICARIS 2012, Taormina, Italy, August 28-31, 2012: proceedings. Springer

Some common systems modelling and simulation approaches for immune problems are Monte Carlo simulations, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation. These methods, however, are still not widely adopted in immunology researc... Read More about A beginner's guide to systems simulation in immunology.
