Presentation / Conference
Howard, G. D., Bull, L., Costello, B. D. L., & Adamatzky, A. (2012, September). Creating unorganised machines from memristors. Paper presented at ICNAAM 2012: International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics, Kos, Greece

On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets (2012)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., Holley, J., Dittrich, P., Gorecki, J., De Lacy Costello, B., Zauner, K. P., & Bull, L. (2012). On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets. BioSystems, 109(1), 72-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2011.12.007

When lipid vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) excitable chemical medium are packed in tight assembles, waves of excitation may travel between the vesicles. When several waves meet in a vesicle some fragments may deflect, others can annihi... Read More about On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets.

Production system rules as protein complexes from genetic regulatory networks: An initial study (2012)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (2012). Production system rules as protein complexes from genetic regulatory networks: An initial study. Evolutionary Intelligence, 5(2), 59-67. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-012-0078-3

This short paper introduces a new way by which to design production system rules. An indirect encoding scheme is presented which views such rules as protein complexes produced by the temporal behaviour of an artificial genetic regulatory network. Thi...

Evolution of supershapes for the generation of three-dimensional designs (2012)
Journal Article
Preen, R. J., & Bull, L. (2012). Evolution of supershapes for the generation of three-dimensional designs

This paper explores the evolution of three-dimensional objects with a simple generative encoding, known as the Superformula. Evolving three-dimensional objects has long been of interest in a wide array of disciplines, from engineering (e.g., robotics...

Cartesian genetic programming for memristive logic circuits (2012)
Journal Article
Howard, G. D., Bull, L., & Adamatzky, A. (2012). Cartesian genetic programming for memristive logic circuits. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7244 LNCS, 37-48. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29139-5_4

In this paper memristive logic circuits are evolved using Cartesian Genetic Programming. Graphs comprised of implication logic (IMP) nodes are compared to more ubiquitous NAND circuitry on a number of logic circuit problems and a robotic control task...

Using genetical and cultural search to design unorganised machines (2012)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (2012). Using genetical and cultural search to design unorganised machines. Evolutionary Intelligence, 5(1), 23-33. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-011-0061-4

In 1948 Turing presented a general representation scheme by which to achieve artificial intelligence-his unorganised machines. Significantly, these were a form of discrete dynamical system and yet dynamical representations remain almost unexplored wi...

A simple computational cell: Coupling boolean gene and protein networks (2012)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (2012). A simple computational cell: Coupling boolean gene and protein networks. Artificial Life, 18(2), 223-236

This article presents an abstract, tunable model containing two of the principal information-processing features of cells and explores its use with simulated evolution. The random Boolean model of genetic regulatory networks is extended to include a... Read More about A simple computational cell: Coupling boolean gene and protein networks.

On natural genetic engineering: structural dynamism in random boolean networks (2012)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (2012). On natural genetic engineering: structural dynamism in random boolean networks

This short paper presents an abstract, tunable model of genomic structural change within the cell lifecycle and explores its use with simulated evolution. A well-known Boolean model of genetic regulatory networks is extended to include changes in nod... Read More about On natural genetic engineering: structural dynamism in random boolean networks.

On computing in fine-grained compartmentalised Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2011)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., Holley, J., Bull, L., & De Lacy Costello, B. (2011). On computing in fine-grained compartmentalised Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 44(10), 779-790. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2011.03.010

We introduce results of computer experiments on information processing in a hexagonal array of vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) solution in a sub-excitable mode. We represent values of Boolean variables by excitation wave-fragments and... Read More about On computing in fine-grained compartmentalised Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.
