The Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Group at the University
of the West of England (UWE), Bristol is based in the Department of Computer Science and Creative Technologies. The UWE has a long history of A.I. research
with the first publications and projects appearing in the early 1980s. The Group carries out applied and theoretical research in a number of areas, with a strong emphasis on evolutionary computation.
Core membership of the Group consists of the following Department staff:
The Group is currently undertaking the following externally funded research projects:
-
Learning and Computation in Disordered Networks of Memristors: Theory and Experiments (EPSRC, 2010-2013: Howard, Gale)
- Industrial Extensions of Lot Sizing and Scheduling (Royal Academy of Engineering, 2010-2013)
Global Research Award, UK-Brazil joint research, with Alistair Clark from Mathematics.
-
NEUNEU (EU FP7, 2010-2013: Holley)
In collaboration with the Universities of Friedrich Schiller in Jena, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, and Southampton, the evolutionary design of chemical neural networks - with the Unconventional Computing Group
-
MOBISERV (EU FP7, 2010-2013: Kuar, Raabe)
A collaboration with five companies and two other Universities to create adaptive robotic platforms to aid independent living in older adults, with Bristol Robotics Lab.
-
Biologically inspired transportation: a distributed intelligent conveyor (EPSRC: 2010-2013, Georgilas)
