Formal Dialogue and Large Language Models (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snaith, M., & Wells, S. (2024, October). Formal Dialogue and Large Language Models. Presented at SICSA Workshop on Reasoning, Evaluation and Application of Large Language Models (SICSA-REALLM 2024), Aberdeen, UK

In this paper, we present preliminary work into combining formal models of dialogue and large language models, before going on to discuss how this provides a foundation for similar approaches involving computational models of argument. First, we addr... Read More about Formal Dialogue and Large Language Models.

Game-theoretic optimization strategy for maximizing profits to both end-users and suppliers in building rooftop PV-based microgrids (2024)
Journal Article
Luo, J., Panchabikesan, K., Lai, K.-H., Olawumi, T. O., Mewomo, M. C., & Liu, Z. (2024). Game-theoretic optimization strategy for maximizing profits to both end-users and suppliers in building rooftop PV-based microgrids. Energy, 313, Article 133715. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2024.133715

Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) with battery storage offers a promising avenue for enhancing renewable energy integration in buildings. Creating microgrids with backup power from closely spaced solar buildings is widely recognized as an effective strategy....

Lateral Torsional Buckling (2024)
Report
Plowas, W. (2024). Lateral Torsional Buckling. Timber Development UK

Lateral torsional instability occurs when a beam’s compression face is not fully restrained against lateral movement and its relative slenderness is high. The beam may fail by deflecting sideways and twisting about its longitudinal axis; this failure... Read More about Lateral Torsional Buckling.

Cross Laminated Timber (2024)
Report
Plowas, W. (2024). Cross Laminated Timber. Timber Development UK

Cross Laminated Timber, also known as CLT or X-lam, is an engineered timber product with a minimum of three cross-bonded layers. At least one layer is orthogonally oriented to the two adjacent layers of timber boards

Designing with Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) (2024)
Report
Plowas, W. (2024). Designing with Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). Timber Development UK

The development of CLT brought new possibilities for timber in construction. Instead of framing smaller timber sections to form load-bearing structural systems, timber products using CLT can form walls and roofs of structures in large surface panels....

Locomotion System-Independent, Portable Software Platform for Autonomous Rovers Navigation (2024)
Journal Article
Clivio, G., Davison, B., & La Spada, L. (2024). Locomotion System-Independent, Portable Software Platform for Autonomous Rovers Navigation. Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, 77(6), 185-190. https://doi.org/10.59332/jbis-077-06-0185

Autonomous navigation is a crucial feature of a rover driving on another planet like Mars due to communication latency at interplanetary distances. It significantly improves the daily traverse and can help rover drivers and engineers free the rover f...

Modelling individuals for simulating contemporary mobility scenarios (2024)
Thesis
Nguyen, J. Modelling individuals for simulating contemporary mobility scenarios. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Urban traffic is a system prone to overload, often approaching breakdown during rush hour times. Well-adjusted modifications of traffic policies, with appropriate interventions, promise potential improvements by inducing change in both individual as...

The influence of active road studs on safe driving behaviour (2024)
Thesis
Llewellyn, R. The influence of active road studs on safe driving behaviour. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

The establishment of safe roads and roadsides is one of the five elements of the safe system approach to road safety, the global initiative towards the goal of a transport system free from death and injury. Road marking and delineation systems form a... Read More about The influence of active road studs on safe driving behaviour.

Privacy-preserving and trusted threat intelligence sharing using distributed ledgers (2024)
Thesis
Ali, H. M. A. Privacy-preserving and trusted threat intelligence sharing using distributed ledgers. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, organisations face increasingly sophisticated and emerging threats, highlighting the need for secure and collaborative threat intelligence sharing platforms. This PhD research identifies key shortcomings in... Read More about Privacy-preserving and trusted threat intelligence sharing using distributed ledgers.
