Simulation performance evaluation of an energy efficient routing protocol for mobile ad hoe networks (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Djenouri, D., & Badache, N. (2004). Simulation performance evaluation of an energy efficient routing protocol for mobile ad hoe networks. In The IEEE/ACS International Conference onPervasive Services, 2004. ICPS 2004. https://doi.org/10.1109/perser.2004.1356810

Energy conservation is one of the most important issues in ad hoc networks, where computers used are usually supplied with limited autonomous resources. Recent studies show that the energy consumed for routing data-packets in wireless ad hoc networks...

Component-wise instruction-cache behavior prediction (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Rakib, A., Parshin, O., Thesing, S., & Wilhelm, R. (2004). Component-wise instruction-cache behavior prediction. In F. Wang (Ed.), https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30476-0_20

The precise determination of worst-case execution times (WCETs) for programs is mostly being performed on fully linked executables, since all needed information is available and all machine parameters influencing cache performance are available to th...

Parameterisation of mutation in evolutionary algorithms using the estimated main effect of genes (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2004). Parameterisation of mutation in evolutionary algorithms using the estimated main effect of genes. . https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2004.1331024

This paper describes how to estimate the main effect of genes in genetic algorithms (GAs). The resulting estimates can not only be used to understand the domination of genes in a GA but also employed to tailor the mutation rate in the GA. A new appro...

An empirical study on the performance of factorial design based crossover on parametrical problems (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2004). An empirical study on the performance of factorial design based crossover on parametrical problems. . https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2004.1330818

In the past, empirical studies have shown that factorial design based crossover can outperform standard crossover on parametrical problems. However, up to now, no conclusion has been reached as to what kind of landscape factorial design based crossov...

An epistasis measure based on the analysis of variance for the real-coded representation in genetic algorithms (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2004). An epistasis measure based on the analysis of variance for the real-coded representation in genetic algorithms. In The 2003 Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2003. CEC '03https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2003.1299588

Epistasis is a measure of interdependence between genes and an indicator of problem difficulty in genetic algorithms. Many researches have concentrated on the epistasis measure in binary coded representation in genetic algorithms. However, a few atte...

A Taguchi method-based crossover operator for the parametrical problems (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2004). A Taguchi method-based crossover operator for the parametrical problems. In The 2003 Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2003. CEC '03https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2003.1299772

Based on our observation, some major steps in the genetic algorithm, such as the crossover operator, can be considered as experiments. The aim is to apply experimental design techniques to improve the crossover operator, so that the resulting operato...

Developing context-aware ubiquitous computing systems with a unified middleware framework (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Ngo, H. Q., Shehzad, A., Liaquat, S., Riaz, M., & Lee, S. (2004). Developing context-aware ubiquitous computing systems with a unified middleware framework. In L. Yang, M. Guo, G. Gao, & N. Jha (Eds.), Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing. EUC 2004. , (672-681). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30121-9_64

Context-awareness is one of the fundamental requirements for achieving user-oriented ubiquity. In this paper, we present the design and approach to a middleware solution that expedites context-awareness in a ubiquitous computing environment. Context-...

'Under construction': The potential of a web based application in managing and maintaining large area urban modelling (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Counsell, J. (2004). 'Under construction': The potential of a web based application in managing and maintaining large area urban modelling. In Y. Lou (Ed.), https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30103-5_17

Staff in the Faculty of the Built Environment at the University of the West of England (UWE) have been engaged in 3D modelling urban areas since 1984. In the UK it will be mandatory that all local planning authorities make much of their data availabl...
