Movements of interfaces can be analyzed in terms of whether they are expected, sensed, and desired. Expected movements are those that users naturally perform; sensed are those that can be measured by a computer; and desired movements are those that a...

An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Craig, T., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage.

How a household varies their regular usage of electricity is useful information for organisations to allow accurate targeting of behaviour modification initiatives with the aim of improving the overall efficiency of the electricity network. The var... Read More about An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage.

The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data.

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in order that supplies can be maintained. Clustering allows usage proles collected at the household level to be clustered into groups and...

Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data.

Abstract—The UK electricity industry will shortly have available a massively increased amount of data from domestic households and this paper is a step towards deriving useful information from non intrusive household level monitoring of electrici...

Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Wagner, C., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering.

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in accordance with energy eciency targets. Clustering allows usage data, collected at the household level, to be clustered into groups...
