Purpose – Manufacturers across many sectors increasingly operate in high variety environments. Research evidence suggests that variety has a negative impact on performance. However, the research literature is limited on the enablers that allow variet... Read More about Managing product variety in quotation processes.

A Decomposition, Construction and Post-Processing Approach for Nurse Rostering (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brucker, P., Qu, R., Burke, E., & Post, G. (2005). A Decomposition, Construction and Post-Processing Approach for Nurse Rostering.

This paper presents our work on decomposing a specific nurse rostering problem by cyclically assigning blocks of shifts, which are designed considering both hard and soft constraints, to groups of nurses. The rest of the shifts are then assigned to t... Read More about A Decomposition, Construction and Post-Processing Approach for Nurse Rostering.

Hybrid Graph Heuristics within a Hyper-heuristic Approach to Exam Timetabling Problems (2005)

This paper is concerned with the hybridization of two graph coloring heuristics (Saturation Degree and Largest Degree), and their application within a hyperheuristic for exam timetabling problems. Hyper-heuristics can be seen as algorithms which inte... Read More about Hybrid Graph Heuristics within a Hyper-heuristic Approach to Exam Timetabling Problems.

A Recommender System based on Idiotypic Artificial Immune Networks (2005)
Journal Article

An Architecture for Proof Planning Systems (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dennis, L. A. (2005). An Architecture for Proof Planning Systems. In L. P. Kaelbling, & A. Saffoitti (Eds.),

This paper presents a generic architecture for proof planning systems in terms of an interaction between a customisable proof module and search module. These refer to both global and local information contained in reasoning states.

Student attitudes to plagiarism and collusion within computer science (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dennis, L. A. (2005). Student attitudes to plagiarism and collusion within computer science. In A. P. Smith, & F. Duggan (Eds.),

There is a widespread perception among staff in Computer Science that plagiarism is a major problem particularly in the form of collusion in programming exercises. While departments often make use of electronic detection measures, the time consumed... Read More about Student attitudes to plagiarism and collusion within computer science.

What can be learned from failed proofs of non-theorems? (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dennis, L. A., & Nogueira, P. (2005). What can be learned from failed proofs of non-theorems?. In J. Hurd, E. Smith, & A. Darbari (Eds.),

This paper reports an investigation into the link between failed proofs and non-theorems. It seeks to answer the question of whether anything more can be learned from a failed proof attempt than can be discovered from a counter-example. We suggest...
