User Preference Web Search -- Experiments with a System Connecting Web and User (2009)
Journal Article
Gurský, P., Horvath, T., Jirásek, J., Krajči, S., Novotny, R., Pribolová, J., …Vojtáš, P. (2009). User Preference Web Search -- Experiments with a System Connecting Web and User. Computing and Informatics, 28(4), 1001-1033

We present models, methods, implementations and experiments with a system enabling personalized web search for many users with different preferences. The system consists of a web information extraction part, a text search engine, a middleware support...

A Model of User Preference Learning for Content-Based Recommender Systems (2009)
Journal Article
Horvath, T. (2009). A Model of User Preference Learning for Content-Based Recommender Systems. Computing and Informatics, 28(4), 1001-1029

This paper focuses to a formal model of user preference learning for content-based recommender systems. First, some fundamental and special requirements to user preference learning are identified and proposed. Three learning tasks are introduced as...

Case studies on the implementation of TQEM in UK building contractors (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Khaddour, L., Ramsay-Dawber, P., & Morledge, R. (2009). Case studies on the implementation of TQEM in UK building contractors. In Proceedings 25th Annual ARCOM Conference (1051–1058)

To reduce the substantial contribution of the built environment, contractors have to comply with the increasing number of environmental regulations. Recent interest in the subject has resulted in global research initiatives that aspire to provide an... Read More about Case studies on the implementation of TQEM in UK building contractors.

Stochastic Modeling of Narrowband Fading Channels with Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering (2009)
Book Chapter
Karadimas, P. (2009). Stochastic Modeling of Narrowband Fading Channels with Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering. In S. Kotsopoulos, & K. Ioannou (Eds.), Handbook of Research on Heterogeneous Next Generation Networking: Innovations and Platforms (361-381). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-108-7.ch016

This chapter studies a composite stochastic model, in which the diffuse component arises from three dimensional (3-D) multipath scattering. That case occurs especially in dense scattering environments, in which the tall obstacles cause arrival of mul...

Modeling living systems (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2009). Modeling living systems. In Advances in Artificial Life: Darwin Meets von Neumann, 10th European Conference, ECAL 2009, Budapest, Hungary, September 13-16, 2009, Revised Selected Papers, Part II (208-215). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21314-4_26

A fundamental issue of evolution of life is the emergence and maintenance of self-referential autocatalytic systems (e.g. living cells). In this paper the problem is analyzed from a computational perspective. It is proposed that such systems have to... Read More about Modeling living systems.

Networks of artificial social interactions (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2009). Networks of artificial social interactions. In Advances in Artificial Life: Darwin Meets von Neumann, 10th European Conference, ECAL 2009, Budapest, Hungary, September 13-16, 2009, Revised Selected Papers, Part II (383-390). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21314-4_48

Evolution of cooperation is a fundamental question of socio-biology. Intrinsic factors like kinship play an important role in cooperation among selfish individuals. External factors like uncertainty and the structure of the social interaction network... Read More about Networks of artificial social interactions.

Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence (2009)
Book Chapter
Turner, S., McGregor, I., & Turner, P. (2009). Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence. In P. Turner, S. Turner, & E. Davenport (Eds.), Exploration of Space, Technology, and Spatiality: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (113-127). London: IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-020-2.ch009

This chapter considers the role of sound, and more specifically, listening, in creating a sense of presence (of "being there") in "places" recreated by virtual reality technologies. We first briefly review the treatment of sound in place and presence... Read More about Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence.
