Array-Aware Matching: Taming the Complexity of Large-Scale Simulation Models
Preprint / Working Paper
Fioravanti, M., Cattaneo, D., Terraneo, F., Seva, S., Cherubin, S., Agosta, G., Casella, F., & Leva, A. Array-Aware Matching: Taming the Complexity of Large-Scale Simulation Models

Equation-based modelling is a powerful approach to tame the complexity of large-scale simulation problems. Equation-based tools automatically translate models into imperative languages. When confronted with nowadays' problems, however, well assessed... Read More about Array-Aware Matching: Taming the Complexity of Large-Scale Simulation Models.

FedMark: A Marketplace for Federated Data on the Web
Preprint / Working Paper
Grubenmann, T., Bernstein, A., Moor, D., & Seuken, S. FedMark: A Marketplace for Federated Data on the Web

The Web of Data (WoD) has experienced a phenomenal growth in the past. This growth is mainly fueled by tireless volunteers, government subsidies, and open data legislations. The majority of commercial data has not made the transition to the WoD, yet.... Read More about FedMark: A Marketplace for Federated Data on the Web.

Explainable Representations of the Social State: A Model for Social Human-Robot Interactions
Preprint / Working Paper
Hernandez Garcia, D., Yu, Y., Sieinska, W., Part, J. L., Gunson, N., Lemon, O., & Dondrup, C. Explainable Representations of the Social State: A Model for Social Human-Robot Interactions

In this paper, we propose a minimum set of concepts and signals needed to track the social state during Human-Robot Interaction. We look into the problem of complex continuous interactions in a social context with multiple humans and robots, and disc...

Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Penman, D., Muhammad-Sukki, F., Hawa Abu-Bakar, S., Bani, N. A., & Mas'ud, A. A. (2023, July). Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland. Paper presented at World Renewable Energy Congress XXII (WREC2023), Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia

This paper explores the possibility of utilising geothermal energy in an existing district heat network in the Aberdeenshire village of Ban-chory to provide hot water by the creation of a hypothetical geothermal well. It considers a simulated deep ge... Read More about Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland.
