Boosting the Immune System (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008, August). Boosting the Immune System. Presented at International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems ICARIS 2008

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. Although the balance is la... Read More about Boosting the Immune System.

A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Ross, P., Webb, A., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. Presented at Second International Conference, ICARIS 2003, Edinburgh, UK, September 1-3, 2003, Proceedings: volume 2787 of Lecture Notes on Computer Science: Artificial Immune Systems, Editors: Timmis, J., Bentley, P. and Hart, E., Springer, ISBN: 978-3-540-40766-9

Much of current robot research is about learning tasks in which the task to be achieved is pre-specified, a suitable technology for the task is chosen and the learning process is experimentally investigated. A more interesting research question is ho... Read More about A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots..

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..

Requirements for getting a robot to grow up. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Hart, E., Lawson, A., Webb, A., Prem, E., Poelz, P., & Morgavi, G. (2003, September). Requirements for getting a robot to grow up. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

A local search for the timetabling problem. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rossi-Doria, O., Blum, C., Knowles, J., Sampels, M., Socha, K., & Paechter, B. (2002, August). A local search for the timetabling problem. Presented at PATAT 2002

This work is part of the Metaheuristic Network, a European Commission project that seeks to empirically compare the performance of various metaheuristics on different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper we define a representation, a ne... Read More about A local search for the timetabling problem..

Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2002, September). Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. Presented at ICARIS 2002

The relationship between immunological memory and a class of associative memories known as sparse distributed memories (SDM) is well known. This paper proposes a new model for clustering non-stationary data based on a combination of salient features...

A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Blum, C., Correia, S., Dorigo, M., Paechter, B., Rossi-Doria, O., & Snoek, M. (2002, August). A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. Presented at PATAT 2002

In this work we present a Genetic Algorithm for tackling timetabling problems. Our approach uses an indirect solution representation, which denotes a number of instructions for a timetable builder on how to sequentially build a solution. These instru...

Clustering Moving Data with a Modified Immune Algorithm (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2001, April). Clustering Moving Data with a Modified Immune Algorithm. Presented at Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoWorkshops 2001, Como, Italy

In this paper we present a prototype of a new model for performing clustering in large, non-static databases. Although many machine learning algorithms for data clustering have been proposed, none appear to specifically address the task of clustering...

Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Eiben, A. E., Jansen, B., Michalewicz, Z., & Paechter, B. (2000, July). Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2000)

This paper examines evolutionary algorithms (EAs) extended by various penalty-based approaches to solve constraint satisfaction
problems (CSPs). In some approaches, the penalties are set in advance and they do not change during a run. In other appro... Read More about Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights..

An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (1999, July). An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference ; GECCO-99

This paper describes the application of an artificial immune system, (AIS), model to a scheduling application, in which sudden changes in the scheduling environment require the rapid production of new schedules. The model operates in two phases: In t... Read More about An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments..

PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., & McNair, N. (1999, April). PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam. Presented at Architectures, Languages and Techniques for Concurrent Systems, University of Keele

Road traffic modelling and simulation is currently, well provided with a variety of packages dealing with the minute detail of road layouts from single isolated junction models to complete network simulations. There has also been much work in develop... Read More about PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam.
