Conference Proceeding
Mcneill, M., Lawson, A., Raeside, R., & Peisl, T. (2018). Get Your Project Funded: Using Biometric Data to Understand What Makes People Trust and Support Crowdfunding Campaigns. In Proceedings of the 32nd International BCS Human Computer Interaction Conference (HCI 2018). https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2018.127

Creating a good crowdfunding campaign is difficult. By understanding why people contribute to crowdfunding campaigns we can make campaigns better and raise more money. Crowdfunding websites allow entrepreneurs to make a pitch, which is watched by pot...

2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2019). 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms. In H. Rodrigues, J. Herskovits, C. Mota Soares, A. Araújo, J. Guedes, J. Folgado, …J. Madeira (Eds.), EngOpt 2018 Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Engineering Optimization (926-937). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-97773-7_80

In this paper, we investigate the ability of genetic representation methods to describe two-dimensional outline shapes, in order to use them in a generative design system. A specific area of mechanical design focuses on planar mechanisms. These are a... Read More about 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms.
