Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Siebers, P., Deng, Y., Thaler, J., Schnädelbach, H., & Özcan, E. (2018). Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models. In A. Anagnostou, M. Fakhimi, R. Meskarian, & D. Robertson (Eds.), Proceedings of the Operational Research Society Simulation Workshop 2018 (SW18) (88-97)

There exist many papers that explain the social force model and its application for modelling pedestrian dynamics. None of these papers, however, explains how to implement the social force model in order to use it for systems simulation studies. In t...

Come and play: interactive theatre for early years (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Patel, R., Schnadelbach, H., & Koleva, B. (2018). Come and play: interactive theatre for early years. . https://doi.org/10.1145/3173225.3173251

The convergence of theatre and digital technologies can play a valuable role in theatre for early years, but, how an audience of under-5’s experiences and engages with these spaces is largely unexplored. We present an interactive performance installa... Read More about Come and play: interactive theatre for early years.

Managers' perceptions of modern slavery risk in a UK health-care supply network (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Emberson, C. A., & Trautrims, A. (2018). Managers' perceptions of modern slavery risk in a UK health-care supply network.

In this paper we argue that, to fully understand managers’ perceptions of modern slavery risk in the context of a UK health-care supply chain, it is necessary to adopt a ‘labour’ supply chain lens that puts the employment relationship at the heart of...

Formative assessment lessons for concept development and problem solving (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Swan, M., & Foster, C. (2018). Formative assessment lessons for concept development and problem solving.

Formative assessment is the process by which teachers and students gather evidence of learning and then use this to adapt the way they teach and learn in the classroom. In this paper we describe a design research project in which we integrated format... Read More about Formative assessment lessons for concept development and problem solving.

Exploring caregivers’ experiences of caring for men with advanced prostate cancer in a resource-poor setting: a qualitative serial interview study (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Salifu, Y., Almack, K., & Caswell, G. (2018). Exploring caregivers’ experiences of caring for men with advanced prostate cancer in a resource-poor setting: a qualitative serial interview study.

Background: Family caregivers who assume the responsibility of care for patients living with advanced diseases could have challenges especially in resource-poor settings. The bulk and responsibility for care are predominantly provided by the family c...

Bidirectional partial power converter interface for energy storage systems to provide peak shaving in grid-tied PV plants (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Muller, N., Kouro, S., Zanchetta, P., & Wheeler, P. (2018). Bidirectional partial power converter interface for energy storage systems to provide peak shaving in grid-tied PV plants.

The ever growing participation of modern renewable resources in electric markets has shaken the paradigm of generation-demand constant match. Most modern renewables add intermittent behaviour and high variability to electric markets, forcing other re...

Synthesis of orchestrations of transducers for manufacturing (2018)
Conference Proceeding
De Giacomo, G., Vardi, M. Y., Felli, P., Alechina, N., & Logan, B. (2018). Synthesis of orchestrations of transducers for manufacturing.

In this paper, we model manufacturing processes and facilities as transducers (automata with output). The problem of whether a given manufacturing process can be realized by a given set of manufacturing resources can then be stated as an orchestratio...

Fuzzy C-means-based scenario bundling for stochastic service network design (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Jiang, X., Bai, R., Landa-Silva, D., & Aickelin, U. (2018). Fuzzy C-means-based scenario bundling for stochastic service network design. In 2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, SSCI 2017 - Proceedings (1-8). https://doi.org/10.1109/SSCI.2017.8280905

Stochastic service network designs with uncertain demand represented by a set of scenarios can be modelled as a large-scale two-stage stochastic mixed-integer program (SMIP). The progressive hedging algorithm (PHA) is a decomposition method for solvi... Read More about Fuzzy C-means-based scenario bundling for stochastic service network design.

Using goal programming on estimated Pareto fronts to solve multiobjective problems (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., Laesanklang, W., & Constantino, A. A. (2018). Using goal programming on estimated Pareto fronts to solve multiobjective problems.

Modern multiobjective algorithms can be computationally inefficient in producing good approximation sets for highly constrained many-objective problems. Such problems are common in real-world applications where decision-makers need to assess multiple...
