Commodity Chemicals at INEOS Grangemeouth

The competitiveness of Grangemouth as a chemicals manufacturing site has been transformed over the past 5 years under INEO Olefins & Polymers UK. This talk describes why that was necessary, how the transformation was generated, and gives an insight into the operating paths and technology used to provide a platform for...

Computing Science Seminar. Cheng on Semantic Data Retrieval: Search, Ranking, and Summarisation

Venue: Computing Science Common Room, Meston Building

Chemistry Department Seminar

Transition metal chalcogenides: what solid state electrochemistry has to do with them

Computing Seminar: Low Code IoT Middleware for Gait Velocity Monitoring at Home

Title:  Low Code IoT Middleware for Gait Velocity Monitoring at Home Abstract: Gait velocity has become a valid and important metric for senior populations. However, existing approaches to measure gait velocity are either limited to specific location or too expensive to be applied. IoT middleware allows the systems to collect data in...

Fine-Grained Access Control via Policy-Carrying Data by Prof. Vasconcelos

Abstract: We address the problem of associating access policies with datasets and how to monitor compliance via policy-carrying data. Our contributions are a formal model in first-order logic inspired by normative multi-agent systems to regulate data access, and a computational model for the validation of specific use cases and the...

Computing Seminar in RGU: Exploring Moral Dilemmas in Immersive Virtual Reality Environments

RGU School of Computing Science and Digital Media Seminar Wednesday 31 May 2017 at 13:00 in Room N117, Sir Iain Wood Building TITLE: Exploring Moral Dilemmas in Immersive Virtual Reality Environments Professor Fotis Liarokapis HCI Laboratory Faculty of Informatics Masaryk University  Brno,  Czech Republic liarokap@fi.muni.cz   ABSTRACT: Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that simulates user experiences in a synthetic way. Immersion into VR is a...

Computing Seminar "Policy-carrying data: towards a data-sharing economy" by Prof. W. Vasconcelos

This event was cancelled

The title is: Title: Policy-carrying data: towards a data-sharing economy Abstract: This seminar will introduce a formal model (drawing upon notions from normative multiagent systems) to regulate data access, and secondly a computational model that allows both for the validation of specific use cases and the verification of the policy against criteria. Some of...

Computing Seminar: Deep Learning and Ensemble Learning, by Dr. Jayne and Dr. Elyan

Deep Learning and Ensemble Learning Chrisina Jayne and Eyad Elyan There has been a significant research interest in recent years related to deep architectures, which refer to neural network architectures with a larger number of hidden layers. The breakthrough paper published in 2006 by Hinton et al. introduced unsupervised fast, greedy learning...
