A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pekol, A., Wigan, M., & Hulbert, J. (2005). A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements.

The importance of freight activity in urban areas has increased substantially and is predicted to continue to rise. However, freight data is difficult to secure, and even more difficult to use in policy, forecasting and analysis. This is a direct c...

Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, R., Lewis, R. M. R., & Paechter, B. (2005, March). Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling. Presented at 5th European Conference in Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation (EvoCop 2005), Lausanne, Swizerland

University Course Timetabling-Problems (UCTPs) involve the allocation of resources (such as rooms and timeslots) to all the events of a university, satisfying a set of hard-constraints and, as much as possible, some soft constraints. Here we work wit... Read More about Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling.

A comparison of video and infrared based tracking of pedestrian movements. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Kukla, R., Willis, A., Armitage, A., Binnie, D., & Lei, L. (2003, October). A comparison of video and infrared based tracking of pedestrian movements. Presented at Traffic and Granular Flow '03

We provide a comparison of the relative merits of video and infrared based methods for collecting pedestrian movements from the real world and also from experimental environments. We describe the underlying technological basis of both methods and the... Read More about A comparison of video and infrared based tracking of pedestrian movements..

Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J., Kukla, R., & Paterson, T. (2005, July). Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration. Presented at Second International Workshop, DILS 2005

Biologists use scientific names to label the organisms described in their data; however, these names are not unique identifiers for taxonomic entities. Alternative taxonomic classifications may apply the same name, associated with alternative defi...

Global agile supply chain practice in the European fashion clothing industry. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Iosif, L., Masson, R., Fernie, J., & MacKerron, G. (2004). Global agile supply chain practice in the European fashion clothing industry. In K. Demeter (Ed.), OPerations and Global Competitiveness, 383-389

The work presented in the paper is the result of a series of case studies investigating the supply chain management practice adopted by European fashion clothing industry retailers and their suppliers. The results show the global agile supply practi... Read More about Global agile supply chain practice in the European fashion clothing industry..

Shot fired dowel flitch beams. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2005). Shot fired dowel flitch beams.

Flitch beams are a form of sandwich construction using steel and timber elements. They are used in the construction of domestic dwellings when relatively high loads and long spans predominate but available depth of section is restricted in some way....

Developing sustainable communities: ecological integrity, equity and the question of participation. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Deakin, M. (2005). Developing sustainable communities: ecological integrity, equity and the question of participation.

Sustainable communities are seen as offering the opportunity to manage growth in developments that are plan-led and which are environmentally-friendly. This paper examines the development of sustainable communities in the South East Wedge of Edinburg...

Peer-to-peer networks for scalable grid landscapes in social agent simulations. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craenen, B. G. W., & Paechter, B. (2005). Peer-to-peer networks for scalable grid landscapes in social agent simulations. In Proceedings of the Artificial Intelligence and Social Behaviour Convention (AISB) 2005 (64-71)

Recently, peer-to-peer networks have been proposed as the underlying architecture of large scale distributed social agent simulations. A number of problems arise when grid landscapes are used to represent the landscape in these simulations, primarily...

JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chalmers, K., & Kerridge, J. (2005). JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels. In J. F. Broenink, H. Roebbers, J. Sunter, P. Welch, & D. Wood (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2005 (109-127)

The JCSPNet package from Quickstone provides the capability of transparently creating a network of processes that run across a TCP/IP network. The package also contains mechanisms for creating mobile processes and channels through the use of filters... Read More about JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels..

The use of an environmental assessment tool in healthcare buildings. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capper, G., Holmes, J., Hudson, G., & Currie, J. (2005). The use of an environmental assessment tool in healthcare buildings.

A variety of tools have been developed for the comprehensive assessment of the environmental performance of buildings and they are currently being used in different stages of the building design, construction and operation process. But each existing... Read More about The use of an environmental assessment tool in healthcare buildings..
