SACRO: Semi-Automated Checking Of Research Outputs (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Output checking can require significant resources, acting as a barrier to scaling up the research use of confidential data. We report on a project, SACRO, that is developing a general-purpose, semi-automatic output checking systems that works across... Read More about SACRO: Semi-Automated Checking Of Research Outputs.

Disclosure control issues in complex medical data (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The covid19 pandemic assisted the acceleration of routine access to medical records for research. In the UK platforms including OpenSafely and NHSDigital, alongside emerging hospital trust based Trusted Research Environments (TREs), demonstrate the u...

E-assessment of computer programming (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper demonstrates how we have used Dewis, an algorithmic open source e-assessment system, to automatically assess programming skills, in particular, in the C programming language. Teaching and assessing programming skills is challenging; prior... Read More about E-assessment of computer programming.

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.

Sphere: A novel platform for increasing safety & security on unmanned systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Healthy, Mobility and Security-based Data Communication Architecture, also known as HAMSTER, is provided with a special platform for safety & security: Sphere. It concentrates all the safety & security aspects of the main ar- chitecture and all d... Read More about Sphere: A novel platform for increasing safety & security on unmanned systems.

Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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... Read More about Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design.
