A memory-integrated artificial bee algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Bayraktar, T., Aydin, M. E., & Dugenci, M. (2014, October). A memory-integrated artificial bee algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems. Paper presented at CIE 2014 - 44th International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering and IMSS 2014 - 9th International Symposium on Intelligent Manufacturing and Service Systems, Istanbul, Turkey

Swarm intelligence algorithms gain more attention with ever growing computing capabilities since they can provide diverse and useful solutions for ill-structured and complex problems. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a recently developed prom... Read More about A memory-integrated artificial bee algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems.

Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Smith, J. (2014, October). Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design. Paper presented at 2014 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, San Diego, CA, USA

Early lifecycle software design is an intensely human activity in which design scale and complexity can place a high cognitive load on the software designer. Recently, the use of evolutionary search has been suggested to yield insights in the natur...

Turtle geometry the Python way (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Battle, S. (2014, October). Turtle geometry the Python way. Presented at DigiMakers, At-Bristol, UK

An introduction to coding using Python’s on-screen ‘turtle’ that can be commanded with a few simple instructions including forward, backward, left and right. The turtle leaves a trace that can be used to draw geometric figures. This workshop is aimed... Read More about Turtle geometry the Python way.

Material-based non-neural analogues of lateral inhibition: A multi-agent approach (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Jones, J. (2014, September). Material-based non-neural analogues of lateral inhibition: A multi-agent approach. Paper presented at Adaptive Materials, Devices and Systems Towards Unconventional Computing and Robotics: Modeling and Implementation, Rhodes, Greece

Lateral Inhibition (LI) phenomena occur in a wide range of sensory modalities and are most famously described in the human visual system. In LI the activity of a stimulated neuron is itself excited and suppresses the activity of its local neighbours...

Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Jones, J. (2014, September). Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould. Presented at ABBII International Symposium on Artificial, Biological and Bio-Inspired Intelligence, Rhodes, Greece

Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarumpolycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour. Given such limited resources, can environmenta... Read More about Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould.

Turnector: Tangible control widgets for capacitive touchscreen devices (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Rutter, E. K., Nash, C., & Mitchell, T. J. (2014, September). Turnector: Tangible control widgets for capacitive touchscreen devices. Paper presented at The 40th International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) joint with the 11th Sound & Music Computing conference (SMC), Athens, Greece

This paper details the development of Turnector, a control system based upon tangible widgets that are manipulated on the touchscreen of a capacitive touch device. Turnector widgets are modelled on rotary faders and aim to connect the user to paramet... Read More about Turnector: Tangible control widgets for capacitive touchscreen devices.

Sarcasm detection on Czech and English Twitter (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Ptácek, T., Habernal, I., & Hong, J. (2014, August). Sarcasm detection on Czech and English Twitter. Paper presented at COLING 2014, Dublin, Ireland

This paper presents a machine learning approach to sarcasm detection on Twitter in two languages – English and Czech. Although there has been some research in sarcasm detection in languages other than English (e.g., Dutch, Italian, and Brazilian Port...

CAN (PLAN)+: Extending the operational semantics of the BDI architecture to deal with uncertain information (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Bauters, K., Liu, W., Hong, J., Sierra, C., & Godo, L. (2014, July). CAN (PLAN)+: Extending the operational semantics of the BDI architecture to deal with uncertain information. Paper presented at UAI, Quebec, Canada

The BDI architecture, where agents are modelled based on their beliefs, desires and intentions, provides a practical approach to develop large scale systems. However, it is not well suited to model complex Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SC...
