An adaptive ensemble approach to ambient intelligence assisted people search (2018)
Journal Article
Xue, D., Wang, X., Zhu, J., Davis, D. N., Wang, B., Zhao, W., Peng, Y., & Cheng, Y. (2018). An adaptive ensemble approach to ambient intelligence assisted people search. Applied System Innovation, 1(3), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.3390/asi1030033

Some machine learning algorithms have shown a better overall recognition rate for facial recognition than humans, provided that the models are trained with massive image databases of human faces. However, it is still a challenge to use existing algor... Read More about An adaptive ensemble approach to ambient intelligence assisted people search.

Explicit Modelling and Treatment of Repair in Prediction of Dependability (2018)
Journal Article
Aizpurua, J. I., Papadopoulos, Y., & Merle, G. (2020). Explicit Modelling and Treatment of Repair in Prediction of Dependability. IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, 17(6), 1147-1162. https://doi.org/10.1109/TDSC.2018.2857810

In engineering practice, multiple repair actions are considered carefully by designers, and their success or failure defines further control actions and the evolution of the system state. Such treatment is not fully supported by the current state-of-... Read More about Explicit Modelling and Treatment of Repair in Prediction of Dependability.

Uncertainty-aware dynamic reliability analysis framework for complex systems (2018)
Journal Article
Kabir, S., Yazdi, M., Aizpurua, J. I., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2018). Uncertainty-aware dynamic reliability analysis framework for complex systems. IEEE Access, 6, Article ACCESS2843166. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2843166

Critical technological systems exhibit complex dynamic characteristics such as time-dependent behaviour, functional dependencies among events, sequencing and priority of causes that may alter the effects of failure. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) have be... Read More about Uncertainty-aware dynamic reliability analysis framework for complex systems.

Prior knowledge-based deep learning method for indoor object recognition and application (2018)
Journal Article
Ding, X., Luo, Y., Li, Q., Cheng, Y., Cai, G., Munnoch, R., Xue, D., Yu, Q., Zheng, X., & Wang, B. (2018). Prior knowledge-based deep learning method for indoor object recognition and application. Systems Science and Control Engineering, 6(1), 249-257. https://doi.org/10.1080/21642583.2018.1482477

Indoor object recognition is a key task for indoor navigation by mobile robots. Although previous work has produced impressive results in recognizing known and familiar objects, the research of indoor object recognition for robot is still insufficien...

A review of applications of fuzzy sets to safety and reliability engineering (2018)
Journal Article
Kabir, S., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2018). A review of applications of fuzzy sets to safety and reliability engineering. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 100, 29-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2018.05.005

Safety and reliability are rigorously assessed during the design of dependable systems. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) processes are comprehensive, structured and logical methods widely used for this purpose. PRA approaches include, but not limi...

Model-based assessment of energy-efficiency, dependability, and cost-effectiveness of waste heat recovery systems onboard ship (2018)
Journal Article
Lampe, J., Rüde, E., Papadopoulos, Y., & Kabir, S. (2018). Model-based assessment of energy-efficiency, dependability, and cost-effectiveness of waste heat recovery systems onboard ship. Ocean engineering, 157, 234-250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2018.03.062

Technological systems are not merely designed with a narrow function in mind. Good designs typically aim at reducing operational costs, e.g. through achieving high energy efficiency and improved dependability (i.e. reliability, availability and maint...

Dynamic system safety analysis in HiP-HOPS with Petri Nets and Bayesian Networks (2018)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., & Kabir, S. (2018). Dynamic system safety analysis in HiP-HOPS with Petri Nets and Bayesian Networks. Safety science, 105, 55-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2018.02.001

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Dynamic systems exhibit time-dependent behaviours and complex functional dependencies amongst their components. Therefore, to capture the full system failure behaviour, it is not enough to simply determine the consequences of diff...
