A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Uthmani, O., Buchanan, W. J., Fan, L., & Lawson, A. A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation

This paper outlines a novel information sharing method using Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDs). It is inspired by the work of Al-Shaer and Hamed, who applied BDDs into the modelling of network firewalls. This is applied into an information sharing poli...

Evaluation of binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation in an Information sharing model. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Uthmani, O., Buchanan, W. J., Fan, L., & Lawson, A. Evaluation of binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation in an Information sharing model

This paper defines a structured methodology which is based on the foundational work of Al-Shaer et al. in [1] and that of Hamed and Al-Shaer in [2]. It defines a methodology for the declaration of policy field elements, through to the syntax, ontolog...

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...

Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment (2013)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Burrows, L. (2013). Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment. International Journal of Cognitive Performance Support, 1, 54-68. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJCPS.2013.053554

This study took as its starting point the premise that a high degree of realism is not a necessary condition for the creation of a ‘sense of place’ in mediated experiences such as those presented through virtual reality. A sense of place is the sense... Read More about Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment.

A multidimensional sketching interface for corpus-based concatenative synthesis. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tsiros, A. (2013, July). A multidimensional sketching interface for corpus-based concatenative synthesis. Presented at international Conference on auditory Display

This paper presents Morpheme, a multidimensional interface that allows real-time control of concatenative synthesis through the act of sketching on a digital canvas. Morpheme extracts textural, spatial and volumetric features from a sketch developed... Read More about A multidimensional sketching interface for corpus-based concatenative synthesis..

Pianola - visualization of multivariate time-series security event data. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thomson, A., Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2013, July). Pianola - visualization of multivariate time-series security event data. Presented at 17th International Conference on Information Visualisation

Monitoring log files for network intrusions is unwieldy. To build a mental model of the log, an analyst is required to recognise continuous timelines and attack patterns from a dataset that is essentially limited to an ordered list of events. Informa...

Review of Facebook Democracy. The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life by J.Marichal (2013)
Journal Article
Taylor-Smith, E. (2013). Review of Facebook Democracy. The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life by J.Marichal. Information Polity, 18, 367-370. https://doi.org/10.3233/IP-130318

Jose Marichal’s investigation into Facebook, as a setting for democracy and potential influence on the public sphere, identifies something special about Facebook that both makes it popular and unique, even among social networking sites. This enables... Read More about Review of Facebook Democracy. The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life by J.Marichal.

Review of 'Innovations in Participatory Politics' by B. Loader and D. Mercea, eds. (2013)
Journal Article
Taylor-Smith, E. (2013). Review of 'Innovations in Participatory Politics' by B. Loader and D. Mercea, eds. Information Polity, 18, 93-96. https://doi.org/10.3233/IP-130298

Brian Loader and Dan Mercea rally a group of political/social/media scientists to shed light on social media and democracy. Is social media supporting transformations of democratic power or merely inspiring the latest round of cyber-utopian hype? Cur...

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...
