Process discovery in highly parallel distributed systems. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (2014). Process discovery in highly parallel distributed systems.

In distributed data processing systems it may happen that data arrives for processing for which the appropriate algorithm is not available on the specific node of the distributed system. It is however known that the required algorithm is available... Read More about Process discovery in highly parallel distributed systems..

The design space of temporal graph visualisation. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., & Chalmers, K. (2014, June). The design space of temporal graph visualisation. Presented at 8th Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis '14)

This paper presents our work in mapping the design space of techniques for temporal graph visualisation. We identify two independent dimensions upon which the techniques can be classified: graph structural encoding and temporal encoding. Based on the...

Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-Cloud Service Architecture Perspective. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jamshidi, P., Pahl, C., Chinenyeze, S., & Liu, X. (2014). Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-Cloud Service Architecture Perspective.

Many organizations migrate their on-premise software systems to the cloud. However, current coarse-grained cloud migration solutions have made a transparent migration of on-premise applications to the cloud a difficult, sometimes trial-and-error base...

On the life-long learning capabilities of a NELLI*: a hyper-heuristic optimisation system. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Sim, K. (2014, September). On the life-long learning capabilities of a NELLI*: a hyper-heuristic optimisation system

Real-world applications of optimisation techniques place more importance on finding approaches that result in acceptable quality solutions in a short time-frame and can provide robust solutions, capable of being modified in response to changes in the...
