Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Heppelmann, M., Bitzer, B., Morton, D., Virk, G. S., & Dogramadzi, S. (2006). Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system. In Proceedings of the 41st International Universities Power Engineering Conference (153-156). https://doi.org/10.1109/UPEC.2006.367733

The importance of renewable energy resources are growing because of many reasons including the increasing costs of fossil fuels and the growing awareness of sustainability and environmental concerns. There are many different possibilities to use rene... Read More about Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system.

Towards the application of swarm intelligence in safety critical systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Harper, C., Winfield, A., & Nembrini, J. (2006). Towards the application of swarm intelligence in safety critical systems. In The 1st Institution of Engineering and Technology International Conference on System Safety : 6-8 June 2006, Savoy Place, London, UK (89-95)

Swarm Intelligence provides us with a powerful new paradigm for building fully distributed de-centralised systems in which overall system functionality emerges from the interaction of individual agents with each other and with their environment. Such... Read More about Towards the application of swarm intelligence in safety critical systems.

Designing intelligent control systems for safety critical applications (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Harper, C., & Winfield, A. (2006). Designing intelligent control systems for safety critical applications. In The 1st Institution of Engineering and Technology International Conference on System Safety : 6-8 June 2006, Savoy Place, London, UK (71-80). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A20060205

This paper presents a design methodology for behaviour-based intelligent control systems, which we argue is suited to safety critical applications. The methodology has a formal basis, and uses dynamical systems theory to prove system safety propertie... Read More about Designing intelligent control systems for safety critical applications.
