Journal Article
Smith, J. E., Simons, C. L., Simons, C., & Smith, J. (2013). A comparison of meta-heuristic search for interactive software design. Soft Computing, 17(11), 2147-2162. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-013-1039-1

Advances in processing capacity, coupled with the desire to tackle problems where a human subjective judgment plays an important role in determining the value of a proposed solution, has led to a dramatic rise in the number of applications of Interac...

A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control (2013)
Journal Article
Staggemeier, A., Serpell, M., Smith, J., Clark, A., & Staggemeier, A. T. (2013). A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control. Information Sciences, 238, 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2013.02.006

As organizations start to publish the data that they collect, either internally or externally, in the form of statistical tables they need to consider the protection of the confidential information held in those tables. The algorithms used to protect... Read More about A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control.

Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Serpell, M., & Smith, J. (2013, July). Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control. Paper presented at Fifteenth annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, Amsterdam

In this paper Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) is applied in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) for the first time. It has been applied to a permutation problem found in Cell Suppression. ACO has successfully improved the suppression patt... Read More about Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control.

A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Smith, J., & Simons, C. (2013, July). A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling. Paper presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 2013 (GECCO 2013), Amsterdam, Netherlands

Recent research has demonstrated that the problem of class modelling within early cycle object orientated software engineering can be successfully tackled by posing it as a search problem to be tackled with meta-heuristics. This “Search Based Softwa... Read More about A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling.
