Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Tzimiropoulos, G., & Pantic, M. (2013). Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.

We describe a very simple framework for deriving the most-well known optimization problems in Active Appearance Models (AAMs), and most importantly for providing efficient solutions. Our formulation results in two optimization problems for fast and e... Read More about Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.

A time predefined variable depth search for nurse rostering (2013)
Journal Article
Burke, E., Curtois, T., Qu, R., & Vanden Berghe, G. (2013). A time predefined variable depth search for nurse rostering. INFORMS Journal on Computing, 25(3), https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.1120.0510

This paper presents a variable depth search for the nurse rostering problem. The algorithm works by chaining together single neighbourhood swaps into more effective compound moves. It achieves this by using heuristics to decide whether to continue ex... Read More about A time predefined variable depth search for nurse rostering.

Domain transformation approach to deterministic optimization of examination timetables (2013)
Journal Article
Abdul Rahim, S., Bargiela, A., & Qu, R. (2013). Domain transformation approach to deterministic optimization of examination timetables. Artificial Intelligence Research, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.5430/air.v2n1p122

In this paper we introduce a new optimization method for the examinations scheduling problem. Rather than attempting direct optimization of assignments of exams to specific time-slots, we perform permutations of slots and reassignments of exams upon...

Tension space analysis: Exploring community requirements for networked urban screens (2013)
Conference Proceeding
North, S., Schnädelbach, H., Fatah gen Schieck, A., Motta, W., Ye, L., Behrens, M., & Kostopoulou, E. (2013). Tension space analysis: Exploring community requirements for networked urban screens. In P. Kotzé, G. Marsden, G. Lindgaard, J. Wesson, & M. Winckler (Eds.), Human-Computer Interaction--INTERACT 2013: 14th IFIP TC 13 International conference, Cape Town, South Africa, September 2-6, 2013 : Proceedings, Part II (81–98). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40480-1_6

This paper draws on the design process, implementation and early evaluation results of an urban screens network to highlight the tensions that emerge at the boundary between the technical and social aspects of design. While public interactive screens... Read More about Tension space analysis: Exploring community requirements for networked urban screens.

Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Miller, S., Appleby, S., Garibaldi, J. M., & Aickelin, U. (2013). Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis. International Journal of Secure Software Engineering, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.4018/jsse.2013010102

The task of designing secure software systems is fraught with uncertainty, as data on uncommon attacks is limited, costs are difficult to estimate, and technology and tools are continually changing. Consequently, experts may interpret the security ri... Read More about Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis.
