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 ...
The maturity of pervasive computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enables the development of smart environments in many scenarios, including surveillance and environmental monitoring. Extensive research efforts are ...
This paper contrasts the North American and European air transport markets using the extensive Official Airline Guide Databases. The pattern of network development in the two continental regions is examined using data for ...
In online social media, individuals produce vast amounts of content which in effect "instruments" the world around us. Users on sites such as Twitter are publicly broadcasting status updates that provide an indication of ...
Increasingly, in our everyday lives, we rely on our ability to access and understand complex information. Just as the search engine played a key role in helping people access relevant information, there is evidence that ...
This paper reports on an investigation into the scholarly impact of the TRECVid (TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation) benchmarking conferences between 2003 and 2009. The contribution of TRECVid to research in video retrieval ...
COST funding allows European scientists establish international links, communicate their work to colleagues and promote international research cooperation. COST731 was established to study the propagation of uncertainty ...
In recent years, geographic information has entered the mainstream, deeply altering the pre-existing patterns of its production, distribution, and consumption. Through web mapping, millions of online users utilise spatial ...
Representation is a very important component of any evolutionary algorithm. Changing the representation can cause an algorithm to perform very differently. Such a change can have an effect that is difficult to understand. ...
