Demo Paper: AGADE Using Communities of Agents to Provide Realistic Feedback in Business Simulations. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farrenkopf, T., Guckert, M., & Urquhart, N. B. (2015, June). Demo Paper: AGADE Using Communities of Agents to Provide Realistic Feedback in Business Simulations

The need to provide realistic feedback against decisions made within business games is a requirement if business games are to continue to remain relevant in training towards increasingly complex business scenarios. We attempt to address this probl... Read More about Demo Paper: AGADE Using Communities of Agents to Provide Realistic Feedback in Business Simulations..

Multi-Modal employee routing with time windows in an urban environment. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Hart, E., & Judson, A. (2015, July). Multi-Modal employee routing with time windows in an urban environment

An urban environment provides a number of challenges and opportunities for organisations faced with the task of scheduling a mobile workforce. Given a mixed set of public and private transportation and a list of scheduling constraints, we seek to... Read More about Multi-Modal employee routing with time windows in an urban environment..

AGADE Using Personal Preferences and World Knowledge to Model Agent Behaviour (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farrenkopf, T., Guckert, M., & Urquhart, N. (2015). AGADE Using Personal Preferences and World Knowledge to Model Agent Behaviour. In Y. Demazeau, K. S. Decker, J. Bajo Pérez, & F. de la Prieta (Eds.), Advances in Practical Applications of Agents, Multi-

BDI agents provide a common well established approach for building multi-agent simulations. In this paper we demonstrate how semantic technologies can be used to model agent behaviour. Beliefs, desires and intentions are mapped flexibly to correspond... Read More about AGADE Using Personal Preferences and World Knowledge to Model Agent Behaviour.

Optimising the scheduling and planning of urban milk deliveries. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B. (2015, April). Optimising the scheduling and planning of urban milk deliveries. Presented at European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoApplications 2015, Copenhagen, Denmark

This paper investigates the optimisation of the delivery of dairy products to households in three urban areas. The requirement for the optimisation to be part of the existing business process has determined the approach taken. The solution is maintai...
