Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Jassani, B. A., Urquhart, N. B., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2009, November). Minimization of incompletely specified mixed polarity Reed Muller functions using genetic algorithm. Presented at 3rd IEEE international conference on Signal Circuits and Systems

A New and efficient Genetic Algorithm (GA) based approach is presented to minimise the number of terms of Mixed Polarity Reed Muller (MPRM) single and multi output incompletely specified Boolean functions. The algorithm determines the allocation of d... Read More about Minimization of incompletely specified mixed polarity Reed Muller functions using genetic algorithm..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., & Urquhart, N. B. (2007, July). Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 9th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '07

This paper discusses the use of an evolutionary algorithm to design workplace travel plans, to promote car sharing and reduce carbon emissions from single-occupancy motor vehicles.

Real-time construction of aircraft landing schedules using an evolutionary algorithm (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. (2006, July). Real-time construction of aircraft landing schedules using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 8th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '06, Seattle, Washington, USA

This poster investigates the use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) to optimise solutions to the Dynamic Aircraft Landing Problem (DALP). The approach adopted here uses an EA to evolve improvements to the solution so as to move towards an optimum solut...
