We examine a generalised queuing model which we call the G/G/n/G/+ model, which encompasses the G/G/n and G/G/n/s models as special cases. Our model accommodates useful generalisations in user behaviour and limitations on the facilities for…
Cloud computing has radically changed the way organisations operate their software by allowing them to achieve high availability of services at affordable cost. Containerized microservices is an enabling technology for this change, and…
Foundation models have achieved remarkable success across various domains, yet their adoption in healthcare remains limited. While significant advances have been made in medical imaging, genetic biomarkers, and time series from electronic…
There are now a broad range of time series classification (TSC) algorithms designed to exploit different representations of the data. These have been evaluated on a range of problems hosted at the UCR-UEA TSC Archive…
This research investigated the simulation model behaviour of a traditional and combined discrete event as well as agent based simulation models when modelling human reactive and proactive behaviour in human centric complex systems. A…
Modern datacenters schedule heterogeneous workloads across geo-distributed sites with diverse compute capacities, electricity prices, and thermal conditions. Compute utilization, heat generation, cooling demand, and energy consumption are…

As opportunities for AI-assisted healthcare grow steadily, model deployment faces challenges due to the specific characteristics of the industry. The configuration choice for a production device can impact model performance while…
Explanatory studies, such as randomized controlled trials, are targeted to extract the true causal effect of interventions on outcomes and are by design adjusted for covariates through randomization. On the contrary, observational studies…
This paper is about partitioning in parallel and distributed simulation. That means decomposing the simulation model into a numberof components and to properly allocate them on the execution units. An adaptive solution based on…
In healthcare, patient risk stratification models are often learned using time-series data extracted from electronic health records. When extracting data for a clinical prediction task, several formulations exist, depending on how one…
Patient transportation systems are instrumental in lowering access barriers in primary care by taking patients to their GPs. As part of this setting, each transportation request of a chronic or walk-in patient consists of an outbound trip…
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have accelerated the development of conversational agents capable of generating human-like responses. Since psychiatric assessments typically involve complex conversational interactions…
Most activities in hospitals require the presence of the patient. Delays in patient transport can disrupt operations, potentially resulting in idle staff, underutilized equipment, and postponed procedures, which in turn lead to lost…
Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is a promising form of urban transport. Its operation consists in the use of small unmanned vehicles which convey the passengers among stations within a dedicated network. Various aspects of the PRT network…
Pathology foundation models (PFMs) have recently emerged as powerful pretrained encoders for computational pathology, enabling transfer learning across a wide range of downstream tasks. However, systematic comparisons of these models for…
