Conference Proceeding
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2001)
Clustering Moving Data with a Modified Immune Algorithm. In E. Boers (Ed.), Applications of Evolutionary Computing, 394-403. https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-45365-2_41
In this paper we present a prototype of a new model for performing clustering in large, non-static databases. Although many machine learning algorithms for data clustering hav...

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or, modelling biologically plausibl...

A fuzzy logic controller applied to a diversity-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for single-objective optimisation

Journal Article
Segredo, E., Segura, C., León, C., & Hart, E. (2015)
A fuzzy logic controller applied to a diversity-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for single-objective optimisation. Soft Computing, 19(10), 2927-2945. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-014-1454-y
In recent years, Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAS) that consider diversity as an objective have been used to tackle single-objective optimisation prob- lems. The...

An immune network approach for self-adaptive ensembles of autonomic components: a case study in swarm robotics.

Conference Proceeding
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2013)
An immune network approach for self-adaptive ensembles of autonomic components: a case study in swarm robotics. In P. Liò, O. Miglino, G. Nicosia, S. Nolfi, & M. Pavone (Eds.), Advances in Artifical Life, Proceedings of ECAL 2013, 864-871. https://doi.org/10.7551/978-0-262-31709-2-ch127
We describe an immune inspired approach to achieve self-expression within an ensemble, i.e. enabling an ensemble of autonomic components to dynamically change their coordinati...

Genetic algorithms and timetabling

Book Chapter
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (2003)
Genetic algorithms and timetabling. In A. Ghosh, & K. Tsutsui (Eds.), Advances in Evolutionary Optimisation. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18965-4_30
Genetic algorithms can be used to search very large spaces, and it would seem natural to use them for tackling the nastier kinds of timetabling problem. We completed an EPSRC-...
