We present a novel visualisation method for island-based evolutionary algorithms based on the concept of tracers as adopted in medicine and molecular biology to follow a biochemical process. For example, a radioisotope or ...
Perhaps the biggest limitation of interactive EC is the fitness evaluation bottleneck, caused by slow user evaluation and leading to small populations and user fatigue. In this study these problems are addressed through ...
This paper looks at the impact of the EC 'Third Package' of liberalisation measures on small communities. The liberalisation package came into effect on January 1, 1993 and allows for free entry on intra-European routes ...
This paper introduces an agent-based domestic electricity consumption advisory system. It reflects upon the diffculties of realizing the ubiquitous sensing vision which underpins such systems. It advocates the need for an ...
This book focuses on the stabilization and growth problems of Ireland, an archetypal peripheral member of the EC. In part I, a supply-side neo-Keynesian macro-econometric model is developed, which captures the stylised ...
Urgent transformation is required in Ireland to divert biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) from landfill and prevent increases in overall waste generation. When BMW is optimally managed, it becomes a resource with value ...
The use of higher-order functions, as a method of abstraction and re-use in EC encodings, has been the subject of relatively little research. In this paper we introduce and give motivation for the ideas of higher-order ...
In this paper, network aspects of the US and EC air freight industries are examined. Distinctions between passengers and freight operations are made and the important role of air carrier's network is discussed. In the US ...
This report gives results of some new studies performed to validate the European road traffic load model proposed by the Eurocode EC1. Weight in motion has developed greatly in the last ten years and confidence in the ...
