An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism. (2014)
Journal Article
Powers, S. T., & Lehmann, L. (2014). An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281, 20141349-20141349. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2014.1349

The Neolithic was marked by a transition from small and relatively egalitarian groups, to much larger groups with increased stratification. But the dynamics of this
remain poorly understood. It is hard to see how despotism can arise without coercion... Read More about An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism..

PCA-ANFIS based prediction for water Injection effectiveness cycle in oil fields. (2014)
Journal Article
Tian, Y., Liu, Y., Cheng, G., & Wang, Z. (2014). PCA-ANFIS based prediction for water Injection effectiveness cycle in oil fields. Applied Mechanics and Materials, 530/53, 422-428. https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.530-531.422

By proposing a numerical based method on PCA-ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System), this paper is focusing on solving the problem of uncertain cycle of water injection in the oilfield. As the dimension of original data is reduced by PCA, ANFIS... Read More about PCA-ANFIS based prediction for water Injection effectiveness cycle in oil fields..

Representations and evolutionary operators for the scheduling of pump operations in water distribution networks. (2011)
Journal Article
Lopez-Ibanez, M., Tumula, P., & Paechter, B. (2011). Representations and evolutionary operators for the scheduling of pump operations in water distribution networks. Evolutionary Computation, 19, 429-467. https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00035

Reducing the energy consumption of water distribution networks has never had more significance. The greatest energy savings can be obtained by carefully scheduling the operations of pumps. Schedules can be defined either implicitly, in terms of other... Read More about Representations and evolutionary operators for the scheduling of pump operations in water distribution networks..

Heaven and Hell: visions for pervasive adaptation (2011)
Journal Article
Paechter, B., Pitt, J., Serbedzija, N., Michael, K., Willies, J., & Helgason, I. (2011). Heaven and Hell: visions for pervasive adaptation. Procedia Computer Science, 7, 81-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2011.12.025

With everyday objects becoming increasingly smart and the “info-sphere” being enriched with nano-sensors and networked to computationally-enabled devices and services, the way we interact with our environment has changed significantly, and will conti...

State assignment for sequential circuits using multi-objective genetic algorithm (2011)
Journal Article
Al-Jassani, B. A., Urquhart, N. B., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2011). State assignment for sequential circuits using multi-objective genetic algorithm. IET Computers and Digital Techniques, 5, 296-305. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cdt.2010.0045

In this study, a new approach using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is proposed to determine the optimal state assignment with less area and power dissipations for completely and incompletely specified sequential circuits. The goal is to f... Read More about State assignment for sequential circuits using multi-objective genetic algorithm.

Structure versus function: a topological perspective on immune networks (2009)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Bersini, H., & Santos, F. (2009). Structure versus function: a topological perspective on immune networks. Natural Computing, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11047-009-9138-8

Many recent advances have been made in understanding the functional implications of the global topological properties of biological networks through the application of complex network theory, particularly in the area of small-world and scale-free top...

Setting the research agenda in automated timetabling: the second international timetabling competition (2009)
Journal Article
McCollum, B., Schaerf, A., Paechter, B., McMulan, P., Lewis, R. M. R., Parkes, A. J., …Burke, E. (2010). Setting the research agenda in automated timetabling: the second international timetabling competition. INFORMS Journal on Computing, 22, 120-130. https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.1090.0320

The Second International Timetabling Competition (TTC2007) opened in August 2007. Building on the success of the first competition in 2002, this sequel aimed to further develop research activity in the area of educational timetabling. The broad aim o...
