Modularity and implementation of mathematical operational semantics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaskelioff, M. J., Ghani, N., & Hutton, G. Modularity and implementation of mathematical operational semantics.

Structural operational semantics is a popular technique for specifying the meaning of programs by means of inductive clauses. One seeks syntactic restrictions on those clauses so that the resulting operational semantics is well-behaved. This approa...

Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters
Journal Article
Chevalier, F. H. (2008). Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters. Research on Language and Social Interaction, 41(1), Article tbc-tbc

On occasions, speakers do not complete their turns in conversation. Such syntactically-incomplete turns are not treated with repair or misunderstanding. The responses that they receive display a clear understanding of the actions that the unfinished... Read More about Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters.

Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model
Book Chapter
Adewunmi, A., & Aickelin, U. Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model. In Proceedings of the 2008 International Simulation Multi-conference. The Society For Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)

This paper reports on continuing research into the modelling of an order picking process within a Crossdocking distribution centre using Simulation Optimisation. The aim of this project is to optimise a discrete event simulation model and to unde... Read More about Optimisation of a crossdocking distribution centre simulation model.

Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bieler, A. Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe.

It is frequently argued that European trade unions have been co-opted into the neo-liberal restructuring of the European social relations of production. The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, it will be assessed whether this allegation is actua... Read More about Transnational solidarity or conflict? Trade unions and neo-liberal restructuring in Europe..

Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for eigenvalue problems arising in incompressible fluid flows
Journal Article
Cliffe, A., Hall, E., & Houston, P. Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for eigenvalue problems arising in incompressible fluid flows. Manuscript submitted for publication

In this article we consider the a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement of discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of the hydrodynamic stability problem associated with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Parti... Read More about Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for eigenvalue problems arising in incompressible fluid flows.

ToLeRating UR-STD
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. ToLeRating UR-STD.

A new emerging paradigm of Uncertain Risk of Suspicion, Threat and Danger, observed across the field of information security, is described. Based on this paradigm a novel approach to anomaly detection is presented. Our approach is based on a simple y... Read More about ToLeRating UR-STD.

An A Posteriori Error Indicator for Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations of Fourth Order Elliptic Problems
Journal Article
Georgoulis, E. H., Houston, P., & Virtanen, J. An A Posteriori Error Indicator for Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations of Fourth Order Elliptic Problems. Manuscript submitted for publication

We introduce a residual-based a posteriori error indicator for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of the biharmonic equation with essential boundary conditions. We show that the indicator is both reliable and efficient with respect to the approxi...

The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms
Journal Article
Greensmith, J., Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms. Evolutionary Intelligence, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-008-0008-6

The dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is an immune-inspired algorithm, developed for the purpose of anomaly detection. The algorithm performs multi-sensor data fusion and correlation which results in a ‘context aware’ detection system. Previous applicat...

A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics
Journal Article
Houston, P., Schoetzau, D., & Wei, X. A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics. Manuscript submitted for publication

We introduce and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin method for the numerical discretization of a stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics model problem. The fluid unknowns are discretized with inf-sup stable discontinuous P^3_{k}-P_{k-1} elements... Read More about A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics.

Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Majid, M. A., Aickelin, U., & Siebers, P. Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation. In Annual Operational Research Conference 50 (OR 50)

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a very popular simulation technique in Operational Research. Recently, there has been the emergence of another technique, namely Agent Based Simulation (ABS). Although there is a lot of literature relating to DES an... Read More about Modelling and analysing human behaviour in a department store using discrete event and agent based simulation.

The role of management practices in closing the productivity gap
Book
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Battisti, G., Helen, C., Clegg, C., Fu, X., …Peixoto, A. The role of management practices in closing the productivity gap. Advanced Institute of Management Research

There is no doubt that management practices are linked to the productivity and performance of a company. However, research findings are mixed. This paper provides a multi-disciplinary review of the current evidence of such a relationship and offers s... Read More about The role of management practices in closing the productivity gap.

Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.

Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. We apply agent-based simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship between human reso... Read More about Agent based simulation as a novel decision support tool for retail managers.

Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soria, D., Garibaldi, J. M., Ambrogi, F., Lisboa, P. J., Boracchi, P., & Biganzoli, E. M. Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices.

Clustering algorithms will, in general, either partition a given data set into a pre-specified number of clusters or will produce a hierarchy of clusters. In this paper we analyse several different clustering techniques and apply them to a particular... Read More about Clustering breast cancer data by consensus of different validity indices.

Spontaneous evaluations: similarities and differences between the affect heuristic and implicit attitudes
Journal Article
Spence, A., & Townsend, E. Spontaneous evaluations: similarities and differences between the affect heuristic and implicit attitudes. Cognition and Emotion, 22(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/02699930701298432

The affect heuristic and implicit attitudes are two separate concepts that have arisen within different literatures but that have a number of similarities. This paper compares these two constructs with the aim of clarifying exactly what they are and...
