Book Chapter
ANSARIPOOR, A.H., OLIVEIRA, F.S. and LIRET, A. 2013. The asset replacement problem state of the art. In Owusu, G., O'Brien, P., McCall, J. and Doherty, N.F. (eds.) Transforming field and service operations: methodologies for successful technology-driven business transformation. Berlin: Springer [online], chapter 14, pages 213-233. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-44970-3_14

This book chapter outlines the different modelling approaches for realising sustainable operations of asset replacement and studying the impact of the economic life, the repair-cost limit and comprehensive cost minimisation models. In particular it a... Read More about The asset replacement problem state of the art..

Bayesian network structure learning using characteristic properties of permutation representations with applications to prostate cancer treatment. (2013)
Thesis
REGNIER-COUDERT, O. 2013. Bayesian network structure learning using characteristic properties of permutation representations with applications to prostate cancer treatment. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Over the last decades, Bayesian Networks (BNs) have become an increasingly popular technique to model data under presence of uncertainty. BNs are probabilistic models that represent relationships between variables by means of a node structure and a s...

Experimental user interface design toolkit for interaction research (IDTR). (2013)
Thesis
GOLOVINE, J.C.R.R. 2013. Experimental user interface design toolkit for interaction research (IDTR). Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The research reported and discussed in this thesis represents a novel approach to User Interface evaluation and optimisation through cognitive modelling. This is achieved through the development and testing of a toolkit or platform titled Toolkit for... Read More about Experimental user interface design toolkit for interaction research (IDTR)..

Probabilistic modelling of oil rig drilling operations for business decision support: a real world application of Bayesian networks and computational intelligence. (2013)
Thesis
FOURNIER, F.A. 2013. Probabilistic modelling of oil rig drilling operations for business decision support: a real world application of Bayesian networks and computational intelligence. Robert Gordon University [online], PhD thesis. Available from: https://openair.rgu.ac.uk

This work investigates the use of evolved Bayesian networks learning algorithms based on computational intelligence meta-heuristic algorithms. These algorithms are applied to a new domain provided by the exclusive data, available to this project from...

Approximating true relevance model in relevance feedback. (2013)
Thesis
ZHANG, P. 2013. Approximating true relevance model in relevance feedback. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Relevance is an essential concept in information retrieval (IR) and relevance estimation is a fundamental IR task. It involves not only document relevance estimation, but also estimation of user's information need. Relevance-based language model aims...
