Infinite Virtual Stoa (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Torrao, L., Papadopoulos, Y., & Mckie, D. (2018, December). Infinite Virtual Stoa. Presented at GA2018, XXI Annual International Conference, Verona, Italy

Stoicism is a philosophy that considers the object of life to be ataraxia (αταραξία), a state of psychological stability which is undisturbed by exposure to phenomena and circumstances that lie outside one's control. Such circumstances may include il... Read More about Infinite Virtual Stoa.

A dependability modeling and analysis approach for an IoP-based service system (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mian, Z., Bottaci, L., Jiang, J., He, J., Yu, Q., & Wang, X. (2018, October). A dependability modeling and analysis approach for an IoP-based service system. Presented at 2018 IEEE SmartWorld, Ubiquitous Intelligence & Computing, Advanced & Trusted Computing, Scalable Computing & Communications, Cloud & Big Data Computing, Internet of People and Smart City Innovation (SmartWorld/SCALCOM/UIC/ATC/CBDCom/IOP/SCI), Guangzhou, China

The increasing use of the internet of people (IoP) based service systems has the potential to bring about substantial benefits to individuals. An IoP-based service system includes components such as cell phones, wearable devices, smart homes, cars et...

Control of flexible joint robotic manipulator: Design and prototyping (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alam, W., Ali, N., Wahaj Aziz, H. M., & Iqbal, J. (2018, February). Control of flexible joint robotic manipulator: Design and prototyping. Presented at International Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE), Lahore, Pakistan

Robots are now an integral part of automation sector, thus indicating the importance of the associated control strategies. In contrast with conventional rigid manipulators, flexible arms offer several benefits in terms of light weight and power effic...

Approaches to Measuring Attendance and Engagement (2018)
Journal Article
Grey, S., & Gordon, N. A. (2018). Approaches to Measuring Attendance and Engagement. New Directions in the Teaching of Physical Sciences, 13(13), Article 2692. https://doi.org/10.29311/ndtps.v0i13.2767

In this paper, we argue that, where we measure student attendance, this creates an extrinsic motivator in the form of a reward for (apparent) engagement and can thus lead to undesirable behaviour and outcomes. We go on to consider a number of other m... Read More about Approaches to Measuring Attendance and Engagement.

TIMAEUS: Three-dimensional Illuminated Media Augmented Sculptures (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Torrao, L., Mckie, D., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2017, December). TIMAEUS: Three-dimensional Illuminated Media Augmented Sculptures. Presented at 20th Generative Art Conference

TIMAEUS is a digital art studio environment that enables creation of personalised 3-dimensional sculptures built with expanding spherical volumes or interconnected tetrahedra and possibly other atomic blocks in the future. These sculptures can be cus... Read More about TIMAEUS: Three-dimensional Illuminated Media Augmented Sculptures.

Lightweight and privacy-friendly spatial data aggregation for secure power supply and demand management in smart grids (2018)
Journal Article
Gope, P., & Sikdar, B. (2019). Lightweight and privacy-friendly spatial data aggregation for secure power supply and demand management in smart grids. IEEE transactions on information forensics and security, 14(6), 1554 - 1566. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIFS.2018.2881730

The concept of smart metering allows real-time measurement of power demand which in turn is expected to result in more efficient energy use and better load balancing. However, finely granular measurements reported by smart meters can lead to starkly...

A new dynamic path planning approach for unmanned aerial vehicles (2018)
Journal Article
Huang, C., Lan, Y., Liu, Y., Zhou, W., Pei, H., Yang, L., Cheng, Y., Hao, Y., & Peng, Y. (2018). A new dynamic path planning approach for unmanned aerial vehicles. Complexity, 2018, Article 8420294. https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/8420294

Dynamic path planning is one of the key procedures for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to successfully fulfill the diversified missions. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for path planning based on ant colony optimization (ACO) and artificial...
