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..

How stories capture interactions. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imaz, M., & Benyon, D. (1999, July). How stories capture interactions

Stories have an important role in designing HCI systems because they contribute to the representation of contextual information. User Stories are the first artefacts we use in order to describe interactions, but for implementation purposes we need so... Read More about How stories capture interactions..

Dimensional analysis based causal ordering (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shen, Q., Peng, T., & Milne, R. (1999, December). Dimensional analysis based causal ordering. Presented at QR-99

This paper presents a novel approach for generating causal dependencies between system variables, from an acausal description of the system behaviour, and for identifying the end causal impact; in terms of whether a change in the value of an influenc...

Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem. (1999)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Ross, P., & Nelson, J. (1999). Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem. Annals of Operations Research, 92, 363-380. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018951218434

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been successfully
applied to scheduling problems, in particular job-shop and flow-shop type problems
where a number of theoretical benchmarks exist. This work applies a genet... Read More about Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem..

Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Welch, P., & Wood, D. (1999, January). Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations. Presented at HICSS 32 - 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Maui, HI, USA

A new set of synchronisation primitives is described that simplifies the control of very large numbers of fine-grained parallel processes. The new primitives are derived from the multi-way event synchronisation and choice defined in communicating seq...

Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Luchian, H., Paechter, B., Radulescu, V., & Luchian, S. (1999, July). Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems. Presented at 1999 Congress on Evolutionary Computation

Cross-clustering asks for a Boolean matrix to
be brought to a quasi-canonical form. The problem has
many applications in image processing, circuit design,
archaeology, ecology etc. The heuristics currently used
to solve it rely on either topologi... Read More about Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems..

Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E. (1999, January). Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome

Research agendas in different disciplines have addressed ways in which groups adapt to their environments, coordinate interactions and translate such activities into practices which can be shared by other groups. This paper incorporates research on d... Read More about Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome.
