X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics (2005)
Journal Article

Although most learning classifier system (LCS) research uses the accuracy-based XCS, it had never been used to control a physical robot before. In comparison to purely evolutionary or purely reinforcement learning approaches, an LCS should be faster... Read More about X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics.

Towards predicting spatial complexity: a learning classifier system approach to the identification of cellular automata (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a novel approach to the programming of automata-based simulation and computation using a machine learning technique. The identification of lattice-based automata for real-world applications is cast as a data mining problem. Our ap...

Coevolutionary species adaptation genetic algorithms: growth and mutation on coupled fitness landscapes (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The species adaptation genetic algorithm (SAGA) was introduced to facilitate the open-ended evolution of artificial systems. The approach enables genotypes to increase in length through appropriate mutation operators. Most recently, this has been und...

Switch leadership in projects: An empirical study reflecting the importance of transformational leadership on project success across twenty-eight nations (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper documents an empirical analysis of leadership in project management practices on 153 projects across 28 nations. This is a two-phase research study for which 46 projects were studied in phase 1 representing 14 nations and 107 projects were...

Non-financial performance measurement in manufacturing companies (2005)
Journal Article

The contemporary manufacturing environment is characterised by increased worker responsibility coupled with the measurement and reporting of numerous aspects of performance. At shop-floor level much of this performance measurement and reporting is no... Read More about Non-financial performance measurement in manufacturing companies.

The role of self-improvement and self-evaluation motives in social comparisons with idealised female bodies in the media (2005)
Journal Article

This study investigates the effect of social comparisons with media models on women's body image based on either self-evaluation or self-improvement motives. Ninety-eight women, for whom appearance was a relevant comparison dimension, viewed advertis...

The unorganised worker: The decline in collectivism and new hurdles to individual employment rights (2005)
Journal Article

The 'unorganised' worker (neither unionised nor covered by a collective agreement) is the norm in Britain, especially in the private sector, which employs about 70% of employees. In 2003, union membership was down to 29.3%, and 18.2% in the private s... Read More about The unorganised worker: The decline in collectivism and new hurdles to individual employment rights.

The 'milch-cow state' revisited: Republican politics in the Aveyron (2005)
Journal Article

This article examines the 'republicanization' of the Aveyron under the Third Republic, exploring issues of the practice and meaning of politics in this rural département. I look at the impact of the Republic's efforts to secularize education and ask... Read More about The 'milch-cow state' revisited: Republican politics in the Aveyron.

Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis (2005)
Journal Article

This paper describes a novel approach for two- and three-dimensional surface data capture from moving surfaces based upon an evolution of the existing photometric stereo (PS) technique. Limitations in current methods are described, together with the... Read More about Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis.
