Projects
A spatially-explicit agent-based model of jaguar population dynamics
Jason Noble, Patrick Doncaster (Investigators), Angela Watkins
A single species spatially-explicit agent-based model has been developed that illustrates the role of simulation modelling, integrated with an adapted least-cost modelling approach and real-world geographical data, in exploring jaguar population dynamics.
An Investigation into the Cascade Effect of Mergers on the Global Financial Markets
Seth Bullock, Antonella Ianni (Investigators), Camillia Zedan
An investigation into the external effects that horizontal mergers have on the interconnected global markets.
Automated Algorithmic Trading with Intelligent Execution
Frank McGroarty, Enrico Gerding (Investigators), Ash Booth
In this project, we introduce the first fully automated trading system for real-world stock trading that uses time-adaptive execution algorithm to minimise market impact while increasing profitability com- pared to benchmark strategies.
Automated Trading with Performance Weighted Random Forests and Seasonality
Frank McGroarty, Enrico Gerding (Investigators), Ash Booth
This project proposes an expert system that uses novel machine learning techniques to predict the price return over these seasonal events, and then uses these predictions to develop a profitable trading strategy.
Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling
Hans Fangohr, Ian Hawke, Peter Horak (Investigators), Susanne Ufermann Fangohr, Thorsten Wittemeier, Kieran Selvon, Alvaro Perez-Diaz, David Lusher, Ashley Setter, Emanuele Zappia, Hossam Ragheb, Ryan Pepper, Stephen Gow, Jan Kamenik, Paul Chambers, Robert Entwistle, Rory Brown, Joshua Greenhalgh, James Harrison, Jonathon Waters, Ioannis Begleris, Craig Rafter
The £10million Centre for Doctoral Training was launched in November 2013 and is jointly funded by EPSRC, the University of Southampton, and its partners.
The NGCM brings together world-class simulation modelling research activities from across the University of Southampton and hosts a 4-year doctoral training programme that is the first of its kind in the UK.
Controlling Ant-Based Construction
Seth Bullock (Investigator), Lenka Pitonakova
This paper investigates dynamics of ant nest building and shows that algorithms capable of generating ant-like structures can also be used to create nests, shapes of which are imposed from outside of the system.
Fracturing of small social networks
Seth Bullock, Sally Brailsford (Investigators), Elisabeth zu-Erbach-Schoenberg
A connected social network is a very important factor for the success of groups and organisations. We investigate which factors make a group more resistant to the effects of disagreements which commonly happen in small social networks.
Generic Operational Simulation of Civil Unmanned Air Vehicle Operations
Hans Fangohr, James Scanlan (Investigators)
This project creates a generic operational simulation of Unmanned Air Vehicle Operations. UAVs can be valued for their mission-suitability and compared against various configurations.
Network Analysis of Roman Transport Routes in the Imperial Roman Mediterranean
David Potts
This research is designed to explore the nature of the relationships between Portus, Rome, and other selected ports in the Mediterranean and to establish patterns and the changing nature of trading networks derived from the distribution of known Roman artefacts.
Operational Simulation of the Solent Search-and-Rescue environment
James Scanlan, Kenji Takeda, Hans Fangohr (Investigators), Ben Schumann
This project aims to identify useful metrics for a proposed Search-and-Rescue UAV and test it virtually in a realistic environment.
Origins of Evolvability
Richard Watson, Markus Brede (Investigators), William Hurndall
This project examined the putative evolvability of a Lipid World model of fissioning micelles. It was demonstrated that the model lacked evlovability due to poor heritability. Explicit structure for micelles was introduced along with a spatially localised form of catalysis which increased the strength of selection as coupling between potential chemical units of heredity were reduced.
Self Organized Network Routing using Quantum Evolutionary Methods
Lajos Hanzo (Investigator), Dimitrios Alanis
Self Organized Networks (SON) may consist of a large number of nodes, which could be fully interconnected. Optimizing its performance satisfying various Quality of Service (QoS) requirements is a quite complex procedure and the optimization problem belongs to the family of the Travelling Salesman Problems (TSP) which has been proven to be NP-hard as the number of nodes increases. In this project, various suboptimal methods are used in order to tackle this multi-objective optimization problem; in particular, the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and its quantum inspired counterpart (QACO) are being employed in order to reduce complexity.
Separation of timescales in models of complex networks
Seth Bullock (Investigator), Elisabeth zu-Erbach-Schoenberg, Connor McCabe
In many real-world systems several processes act on the system state. The way these processes interact can have implications for the resulting system state. We investigate how separation of the timescales of two processes influences the system's equilibrium state.
Simulation modelling of habitat permeability for mammalian wildlife
Patrick Doncaster, Jason Noble (Investigators), Angela Watkins
Using and integrating least-cost models and agent-based simulations to explore the way in which mammals interact with, and hence move, through fragmented landscapes.
Software Sustainability Institute
Simon Hettrick (Investigator)
A national facility for cultivating world-class research through software

The Institute is based at the universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton, and draws on a team of experts with a breadth of experience in software development, project and programme management, research facilitation, publicity and community engagement.
We help people build better software, and we work with researchers, developers, funders and infrastructure providers to identify key issues and best practice in scientific software.
Spatial Mobility in the Formation of Agent-Based Economic Networks
Antonella Ianni, Seth Bullock (Investigators), Camillia Zedan
An investigation into the effect of spatial mobility on endogenous economic network formation.
Testing an interaction game on relationships.
Seth Bullock (Investigator), Anastasia Eleftheriou
The aim of this project is to examine how attractiveness is related to hypothetical risky sexual behaviour. The term `risky sexual behaviour' refers to having multiple sexual partners without the use of a condom. Data will be collected using questionnaires in order to investigate the influence of attractiveness on intentions towards engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse. A primary research question is whether perceived attractiveness of a potential partner affects the reported likelihood of having sex and/or using a condom.
The Endogenous Formation of Economic Networks
Antonella Ianni, Seth Bullock (Investigators), Camillia Zedan
An investigation into endogenous network formation using a simple agent-based approach.
The Role of Information in Price Discovery
Antonella Ianni, Seth Bullock (Investigators), Camillia Zedan
The recent economic crisis has highlighted a continued vulnerability and lack of understanding in the financial markets. In order to overcome this, many believe that current market models must be improved. Recently, a trend towards agent-based modelling has emerged. Viewing the economy as a complex system is beginning to be seen as key to explaining certain market characteristics that were originally considered anomalies.
One of the fundamental assumptions in economics is that of information efficiency: that the price of a stock reflects its worth, that all possible information about a security is publicly known, and that any changes to price take place instantaneously. In reality, however, this is not the case.
This project considers the use of agents in modelling economic systems and demonstrates the effect of information levels on price discovery using a simple market simulation.
Towards design patterns for robot swarms
Richard Crowder, Seth Bullock (Investigators), Lenka Pitonakova
Swarm robotics is an inter-disciplinary field that seeks to design the behaviour of robots that can cooperate effectively on tasks like search and retrieval, reconnaissance, construction, etc. In this project, we are aiming towards a theoretical understanding of swarm intelligence and the development of design patterns for effective robot swarms.
Understanding the Role of Recruitment in Robot Foraging
Seth Bullock, Richard Crowder (Investigators), Lenka Pitonakova
It is shown that recruitment among foraging robots is useful when resources are hard to find, but that the extra cost associated with such robots is not returned when there are many locations to gather from or simply when the relative gain from using communication is low.
