Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scott, C., Urquhart, N. B., & Hart, E. (2010, April). Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing. Presented at European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoApplications 2010: Applications of Evolutionary Computation, Istanbul

This paper investigates the influence of gradient and payload correction factors used within a CO2 emission model on the solutions to shortest path and travelling salesman problems when applied to freight delivery.
Problem instances based on real li... Read More about Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing.

Using an evolutionary algorithm to discover low CO2 tours within a Travelling Salesman Problem (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Scott, C., & Hart, E. (2010, April). Using an evolutionary algorithm to discover low CO2 tours within a Travelling Salesman Problem. Presented at Applications of evolutionary computation : EvoApplications 2010, Istanbul, Turkey

This paper examines the issues surrounding the effects of using vehicle emissions as the fitness criteria when solving routing problems using evolutionary techniques. The case-study examined is that of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) based upon... Read More about Using an evolutionary algorithm to discover low CO2 tours within a Travelling Salesman Problem.

On AIRS and clonal selection for machine learning (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., & Hart, E. (2009, August). On AIRS and clonal selection for machine learning. Presented at ICARIS 2009: Artificial Immune Systems, York

Many recent advances have been made in understanding the functional implications of the global topological properties of biological networks through the application of complex network theory, particularly in the area of small-world and scale-free top...

Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Davoudani, D., & McEwan, C. (2007, October). Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems

Autonomic computing systems of the future will be required to exhibit a number of properties which cannot be engineered using current technologies and algorithms. The most direct inspiration for building such systems is nature, where for example the... Read More about Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems..

Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System. Presented at ICARIS 2007: International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, Santos, Brazil

The idiotypic network has a long and chequered history in both theoretical immunology and Artificial Immune Systems. In terms of the latter, the drive for engineering applications has led to a diluted interpretation of the immunological models. Resea...
