Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development (2010)
Journal Article
Li, C., Pooley, R., & Liu, X. (2010). Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development. International journal of computer science & information technology, 2, 12-29. https://doi.org/10.5121/ijcsit.2010.2502

Despite the success that Component-Based Development (CBD) has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a big obstacle for wider and smoother component reuse. Mismatch refers that the selected component does not satisfy the functional requireme... Read More about Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development.

Building low CO2 solutions to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolutionary algorithm. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Hart, E., & Scott, C. (2010, July). Building low CO2 solutions to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at International Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Barcelona, Spain

An evolutionary Multi-Objective Algorithm (MOA) is used to investigate the trade-off between CO2 savings, distance and number of vehicles used in a typical vehicle routing problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). A problem set is derived containing three... Read More about Building low CO2 solutions to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolutionary algorithm..
