A real-world employee scheduling and routing application. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Sim, K., & Urquhart, N. B. (2014, July). A real-world employee scheduling and routing application. Presented at GECCO 2014

We describe a hyper-heuristic application developed for a client to find quick, acceptable solutions to Workforce Schedul- ing and Routing problems. An interactive fitness function controlled by the user enables five different objectives to be weight... Read More about A real-world employee scheduling and routing application..

General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity (2014)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Brook, A. H., Brook-O'Donnell, M., Hone, A., Hughes, T., & Smith, R. (2014). General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity. Australian Dental Journal, 59(S1), 13-22. https://doi.org/10.1111/adj.12158

Complex systems are present in such diverse areas as social systems, economies, ecosystems and Biology and, therefore, are highly relevant to dental research, education and practice. A Complex Adaptive System in biological development is a dynamic pr... Read More about General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity.

Incorporating emissions models within a multi-objective vehicle routing problem. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Scott, C., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Incorporating emissions models within a multi-objective vehicle routing problem. Presented at 15th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computation

The vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) has previously been investigated as a multi-objective problem. In this paper estimated carbon emissions is added as an objective alongside the number of vehicles required and distance travelled. W...

Designing self-aware adaptive systems: from autonomic computing to cognitive immune networks. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2013, September). Designing self-aware adaptive systems: from autonomic computing to cognitive immune networks. Presented at IEEE Conference on Self-Organising and Self-Adaptative Systems (SASO)

An autonomic system is composed of ensembles of heterogeneous autonomic components in which large sets of components are dynamically added and removed. Nodes within such an ensemble should cooperate to achieve system or human goals, and systems are e...

Learning to solve bin packing problems with an immune inspired hyper-heuristic. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2013, September). Learning to solve bin packing problems with an immune inspired hyper-heuristic

Motivated by the natural immune system's ability to defend the body by generating and maintaining a repertoire of antibodies that collectively cover the potential pathogen space, we describe an artificial system that discovers and maintains a reperto...

An immune network approach for self-adaptive ensembles of autonomic components: a case study in swarm robotics. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2013, September). An immune network approach for self-adaptive ensembles of autonomic components: a case study in swarm robotics

We describe an immune inspired approach to achieve self-expression within an ensemble, i.e. enabling an ensemble of autonomic components to dynamically change their coordination pattern during the runtime execution of a given task. Building on previo... Read More about An immune network approach for self-adaptive ensembles of autonomic components: a case study in swarm robotics..

On the role of the AIS practitioner. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Read, M., McEwan, C., Aickelin, U., & Greensmith, J. (2013, September). On the role of the AIS practitioner

Cognisant of the gulf between engineers and immunologists
that currenty hinders a truly inter-disciplinary approach to
the field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), we propose
a redefinition of the term AIS practitioner, as an individual
who iden... Read More about On the role of the AIS practitioner..

Generating single and multiple cooperative heuristics for the one dimensional bin packing problem using a single node genetic programming island model. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Generating single and multiple cooperative heuristics for the one dimensional bin packing problem using a single node genetic programming island model. Presented at 15th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation

Novel deterministic heuristics are generated using Single Node Genetic Programming for application to the One Dimensional Bin Packing Problem. First a single deterministic heuristic was evolved that minimised the total number of bins used when applie...

Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Scott, C., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. Presented at 15th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computation

This paper makes the assertion that vehicle routing rearch has produced increasingly more powerful problem solvers, but has not increased the realism or compexity of typical problem instances. This paper argues that the time has come of use realistic... Read More about Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances..

A Hyper-Heuristic classifier for one dimensional bin packing problems: Improving classification accuracy by attribute evolution. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2012, September). A Hyper-Heuristic classifier for one dimensional bin packing problems: Improving classification accuracy by attribute evolution. Presented at International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature

A hyper-heuristic for the one dimensional bin packing problem is presented that uses an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to evolve a set of attributes that characterise a problem instance. The EA evolves divisions of variable quantity and dimension that r...
