Exploiting antipheromone in ant colony optimisation for interactive search-based software design and refactoring (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Preventing user-fatigue in interactive meta-heuristic search places as great an emphasis on efficiency as it does on ef- fectiveness. Engagement may also be boosted if the system provides a sense of “responsiveness” - for example, avoiding unpopular...

Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Surrogate-assisted optimisation has proven success in the continuous domain, but only recently begun to be explored for other representations, in particular permutations. The use of Gaussian kernel-based models has been proposed, but only tested on s... Read More about Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems.

Alignment between Lean Principles and Practices and Worker Safety Behavior (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 American Society of Civil Engineers. Alignment and synergy between the areas of lean construction and safety management are expected because all near misses and injury incidents represent waste from the lean perspective. This paper describes a... Read More about Alignment between Lean Principles and Practices and Worker Safety Behavior.
