Artificial Immune System driven evolution in Swarm Chemistry. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2014). Artificial Immune System driven evolution in Swarm Chemistry. In Proceedings of IEEE SASO 2014 (40-49). https://doi.org/10.1109/SASO.2014.16

Morphogenetic engineering represents an interesting field in which models, frameworks and algorithms can be tested in order to study how self-* properties and emergent behaviours can arise in potentially complex and distributed systems. In this field... Read More about Artificial Immune System driven evolution in Swarm Chemistry..

Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2014). Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures. In H. Sayama, J. Rieffel, S. Risi, R. Doursat, & H. Lipson (Eds.), Artificial Life 14: Proceedings of ALife, 14th International Conference o

We propose a novel method for evolving adaptive locomotive strategies for virtual limbless creatures that addresses both functional and non-functional requirements, respectively the ability to avoid obstacles and to minimise spent energy. We describe... Read More about Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures..

On the life-long learning capabilities of a NELLI*: a hyper-heuristic optimisation system. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Sim, K. (2014). On the life-long learning capabilities of a NELLI*: a hyper-heuristic optimisation system. In Proceedings of PPSN, 13th International Conference on Parallel problem Solving from Nature (282-291). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-

Real-world applications of optimisation techniques place more importance on finding approaches that result in acceptable quality solutions in a short time-frame and can provide robust solutions, capable of being modified in response to changes in the...

A fuzzy logic controller applied to a diversity-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for single-objective optimisation (2014)
Journal Article
Segredo, E., Segura, C., León, C., & Hart, E. (2015). A fuzzy logic controller applied to a diversity-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for single-objective optimisation. Soft Computing, 19(10), 2927-2945. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-014-14

In recent years, Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAS) that consider diversity as an objective have been used to tackle single-objective optimisation prob- lems. The ability to deal with premature convergence has been greatly improved with...

A real-world employee scheduling and routing application. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Sim, K., & Urquhart, N. B. (2014). A real-world employee scheduling and routing application. In C. Igel (Ed.), GECCO 2014 Proceedings of the Companion Publication of the 2014 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (1239-1242).

We describe a hyper-heuristic application developed for a client to find quick, acceptable solutions to Workforce Schedul- ing and Routing problems. An interactive fitness function controlled by the user enables five different objectives to be weight... Read More about A real-world employee scheduling and routing application..

An improved immune inspired hyper-heuristic for combinatorial optimisation problems. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2014). An improved immune inspired hyper-heuristic for combinatorial optimisation problems. In C. Igel (Ed.), Proceedings of GECCO 2014 (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference) (121-128). https://doi.org/10.1145/2576768.25982

The meta-dynamics of an immune-inspired optimisation sys- tem NELLI are considered. NELLI has previously shown to exhibit good performance when applied to a large set of optimisation problems by sustaining a network of novel heuristics. We address th...

General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity (2014)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Brook, A. H., Brook-O'Donnell, M., Hone, A., Hughes, T., & Smith, R. (2014). General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity. Australian Dental Journal, 59(S1), 13-22. https://doi.org/10.1111/adj.12158

Complex systems are present in such diverse areas as social systems, economies, ecosystems and Biology and, therefore, are highly relevant to dental research, education and practice. A Complex Adaptive System in biological development is a dynamic pr... Read More about General and craniofacial development are complex adaptive processes influenced by diversity.
