Engineering assessment of building design option at sketch design stage 'Energysave'. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
BENNADJI, A., BOUCHLAGHEM, N.M., LOVEDAY, D.L., HOLMES, M., MITCHELL, K.T. and VAN ZYL, R. 2001. Engineering assessment of building design option at sketch design stage. In Ruttkay Pereira, F.O. (ed.) Renewable energy for a sustainable development of the built environment: proceedings of the 18th International conference on passive and low energy architecture 2001 (PLEA 2001), 7-9 November 2001, Florianópolis, Brazil. Florianópolis: PLEA International, pages 931-937.

During the early design stages of a building, different options are assessed using simple tools, that contain a large number of assumptions the very nature of which can bias choice or possibly lead to an inappropriate solution. Many designers are of... Read More about Engineering assessment of building design option at sketch design stage 'Energysave'..

Sunlight in the traditional dwellings of Algeria. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2001. Sunlight in the traditional dwellings of Algeria. In Ünver, R., Öztürk, L.D. and Yener, A.K. (eds.) Proceedings of the 2001 International lighting congress, 12-14 September 2001, Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul: Turkish National Committee on Illumination (ATMK), volume 1, pages 118-125.

This paper aims to study the impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's design in Algeria. The approach used for this purpose is the theory of structuration. In this work, the home is considered as the behavioural setting and five case studies... Read More about Sunlight in the traditional dwellings of Algeria..

A step toward reusable model fragments. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
AHRIZ, H. and TOMASENA, M. 2001. A step toward reusable model fragments. In Proceedings of the 2001 International conference on computational intelligence for modeling control and automation (CIMCA 2001), 9-11 July 2001, Las Vegas, USA. New York: IEEE, pages 559-566.

In this paper we describe a system to elaborate models which are suitable for model based reasoning. A set of model fragments selected from a library will be put together to build a model candidate. The system relies on the bond graph notation, which... Read More about A step toward reusable model fragments..

Discovering information flow using a high dimensional conceptual space. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
SONG, D. and BRUZA, P. 2001. Discovering information flow using a high dimensional conceptual space. In Proceedings of the 24th Annual international Association of Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval (ACM SIGIR) conference on research and development in information retrieval (SIGIR'01), 9-13 September 2001, Louisiana, USA. New York: ACM [online], pages 327-333. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/383952.384017

This paper presents an informational inference mechanism realized via the use of a high dimensional conceptual space. More specifically, we claim to have operationalized important aspects of Gärdenforss recent three-level cognitive model. The connec...

Verification of redesign models: a CSP approach. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
ARANA, I. and AHRIZ, H. 2001. Verification of redesign models: a CSP approach. In Culley, S. (ed.) Proceedings of the 13th International conference on engineering design (ICED'01), 21-23 August 2001, Glasgow, UK. Zurich: Professional Engineering Publishing, pages 283-290.

One of the initial stages in the manufacturing of an article is the production of a design which satisfies a set of user requirements. Much of the design work carried out in manufacturing companies can be classified as redesign, i.e. producing a new... Read More about Verification of redesign models: a CSP approach..

Multi-objective optimisation of cancer chemotherapy using evolutionary algorithms. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
PETROVSKI, A. and MCCALL, J. 2001. Multi-objective optimisation of cancer chemotherapy using evolutionary algorithms. In Zitzler, E., Thiele, L., Deb, K., Coello Coello, C.A. and Corne, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the 1st International conference on evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO 2001), 7-9 March 2001, Zurich, Switzerland. Lecture notes in computer science, 1993. Berlin: Springer [online], pages 531-545. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-44719-9_37

The main objectives of cancer treatment in general, and of cancer chemotherapy in particular, are to eradicate the tumour and to prolong the patient survival time. Traditionally, treatments are optimised with only one objective in mind. As a result o... Read More about Multi-objective optimisation of cancer chemotherapy using evolutionary algorithms..
