An overview of artificial immune systems. (2005)
Book Chapter
Timmis, J., Knight, T., de Castro, L., & Hart, E. (2005). An overview of artificial immune systems. In R. Paton, H. Bolouri, W. M. L. Holcombe, J. H. Parish, & R. Tateson (Eds.), Computation in Cells and Tissues: Perspectives and Tools of Thought (51-86). Springer-Verlag

The immune system is highly distributed, highly adaptive, self-organising in nature, maintains a memory of past encounters and has the ability to continually learn about new encounters. From a computational point of view, the immune system has much t... Read More about An overview of artificial immune systems..

Designing interactive systems : people, activities, contexts, technologies (2005)
Book
Benyon, D., Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2005). Designing interactive systems : people, activities, contexts, technologies. Pearson Education

Authoritative in its coverage, the book draws on the authors’ extensive experience in research and teaching. A self-contained introduction to the area is followed by a systematic discussion of the influence of human psychology on the design of intera...

Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Armitage, A., Binnie, D., Chamberlain, T., Nilsson, M., & Rutter, M. (2005, January). Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems. Presented at 37th Universities Transport Study Group Conference, Bristol

In this paper, we will describe a number of research projects at Napier University on pedestrian tracking. This work started with systems based on ordinary cameras working at visible wavelengths. This work has expanded to include infrared imaging sys... Read More about Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems.

A novel low power FSM partition approach and its implementation. (2005)
Journal Article
Xia, Y., Ye, X., Wang, L. Y., Tao, J., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2005). A novel low power FSM partition approach and its implementation. NORCHIP Conference, 102-105. https://doi.org/10.1109/NORCHP.2005.1596999

A new Finite State Machine (FSM) partioning approach is proposed in this paper. A genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to search the optimal or near optimal solution. A new cost function is used to guide the optimisation. The proposed algorithm is impl... Read More about A novel low power FSM partition approach and its implementation..

FPGA placement using genetic algorithm with simulated annealing. (2005)
Journal Article
Yang, M., Almaini, A. E. A., Wang, L. Y., & Wang, P. (2005). FPGA placement using genetic algorithm with simulated annealing. ASICON, 2, 808-811. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICASIC.2005.1611450

A mixed Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing (GASA) algorithm is used for the placement of symmetrical FPGA. The prpoposed algortithm includes 2 stage processes. In the first stage process it optimizes placement solutions globally using GA. In t... Read More about FPGA placement using genetic algorithm with simulated annealing..

An advisory system for the treatment of kidney stones. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hardy, J., & Armitage, A. (2005, May). An advisory system for the treatment of kidney stones. Paper presented at Natural Computing Applications Forum

Kidney stones can be treated by a number of methods, some more invasive than others. Increasingly, Shock Wave Lithotripsy (a non-invasive technique) is used in preference to surgery. However, the kidney stones can recur. This study was done in conjun... Read More about An advisory system for the treatment of kidney stones..
