A New Paradigm for Heuristic Decision Making, Invited Keynote Talk
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U. A New Paradigm for Heuristic Decision Making, Invited Keynote Talk.

Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annealing. More recently, a novel computational intelligence technique inspi... Read More about A New Paradigm for Heuristic Decision Making, Invited Keynote Talk.

The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition
Journal Article
Bolton, C. D., & Wattis, J. A. The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,,

We investigate the Becker-Döring model of nucleation with
three generalisations; an input of monomer, an input of inhibitor and finally, we allow the monomers to form two morphologies of cluster. We assume size-independent aggregation and fragmentat... Read More about The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition.

A relative evaluation of multi-class image classification by support vector machines
Journal Article
Foody, G. M., & Mathur, A. A relative evaluation of multi-class image classification by support vector machines. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 42(6), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2004.827257

Support vector machines (SVM) have considerable potential as classifiers of remotely sensed data. A constraint on their application in remote sensing has been their binary nature, requiring multi-class classifications to be based upon a large number...

Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe
Journal Article
Pascall, G., & Lewis, J. Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe. Journal of Social Policy, 33(3),

This article addresses some implications for gender equality and gender policy at European and national levels of transformations in family, economy and polity, which challenge gender regimes across Europe. Women’s labour market participation in the... Read More about Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe.

Similarity solutions of a Becker-Döring system with time-dependent monomer input
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A. Similarity solutions of a Becker-Döring system with time-dependent monomer input. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,

We formulate the Becker-Döring equations for cluster growth in the presence of a time-dependent source of monomer input.
In the case of size-independent aggregation and ragmentation
rate coefficients we find similarity solutions which are approache... Read More about Similarity solutions of a Becker-Döring system with time-dependent monomer input.

The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A., Bolton, C. D., & Coveney, P. V. The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,

This paper is concerned with an analysis of the Becker-Döring equations which lie at the heart of a number of descriptions of non-equilibrium phase transitions and related complex dynamical processes. The Becker-Döring theory describes growth and fra... Read More about The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients.

Coagulation equations with mass loss
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A., McCartney, D. G., & Gudmundsson, T. Coagulation equations with mass loss. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 49,

We derive and solve models for coagulation with mass loss
arising, for example, from industrial processes in which
growing inclusions are lost from the melt by colliding with the wall of the vessel. We consider a variety of loss laws and a variety... Read More about Coagulation equations with mass loss.

A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol
Book
Moss, B. (2003). A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol. University of Nottingham

We show, by means of brief demonstration, that the underlying transmission protocol in [1] cannot determine dishonest paths when adversaries collaborate. Hence, this method of tolerating mixed adversaries on an asynchronous network is flawed.

On The Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems
Journal Article
Cayzer, S., & Aickelin, U. On The Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems

It has previously been shown that a recommender based on immune system idiotypic principles can outperform one based on correlation alone. This paper reports the results of work in progress, where we undertake some investigations into the nature of t...

Abstract: This paper reports a lot-sizing and scheduling problem, which minimizes inventory and backlog costs on m parallel machines with sequence-dependent set-up times over t periods. Problem solutions are represented as product subsets ordered and... Read More about A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm to Solve a Logt-Sizing and Scheduling Problem.

And now for something completely different: looking ahead to new encryption and secrecy protocols
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ashman, H., & Gilbert, M. (2001). And now for something completely different: looking ahead to new encryption and secrecy protocols.

Transmitting sensitive data over non-secret channels has always required encryption technologies to ensure that the data arrives without exposure to eavesdroppers. The Internet has made it possible to transmit vast volumes of data more rapidly and ch...
