Bull, L. (2012). Evolving boolean networks on tunable fitness landscapes. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 16(6), 817-828. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2011.2173578

This paper presents an abstract, tunable model by which to explore aspects of artificial genetic regulatory networks and their design by simulated evolution. The random Boolean network formalism is combined with the NK and $NKCS$ models of fitness la... Read More about Evolving boolean networks on tunable fitness landscapes.

This paper discusses the subject of automatic evolutionary sound matching: systems in which evolutionary algorithms are used to automatically derive the parameters of a synthesiser to produce a sound that matches a specified target sound. The paper d...

Elegant object-oriented software design via interactive, evolutionary computation (2012)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C. L., Simons, C., & Parmee, I. (2012). Elegant object-oriented software design via interactive, evolutionary computation. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C: Applications and Reviews, 42(6), 1797-1805. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSMCC.2012.2225103

Design is fundamental to software development but can be demanding to perform. Thus, to assist the software designer, evolutionary computing is being increasingly applied using machine-based, quantitative fitness functions to evolve software designs....

Lump localisation through a deformation-based tactile feedback system using a biologically inspired finger sensor (2012)
Journal Article
Pipe, T., Roke, C., Melhuish, C., Pipe, A. G., Drury, D., & Chorley, C. (2012). Lump localisation through a deformation-based tactile feedback system using a biologically inspired finger sensor. Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 60(11), 1442-1448. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2012.05.002

The ability to localise harder areas in soft tissues is often desired during robot-assisted surgical operations. A deformation-based tactile feedback system was tested for the detection of objects within soft tissues, after being chosen over common p...

Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL (2012)
Journal Article
McClatchey, R., Odeh, M., Munir, K., Munir, K., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2012). Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL. Knowledge-Based Systems, 35, 144-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knosys.2012.04.020

This work investigates the extent to which domain knowledge, expressed in a domain ontology, can assist end-users in formulating relational queries that can be executed over a complex relational database. In this regard, an ontology-driven query form... Read More about Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL.

Towards hierarchical blackboard mapping on a whiskered robot (2012)
Journal Article
Prescott, T. J., Pearson, M. J., Evans, M. H., Fox, C. W., Fox, C. W., Evans, M., …Prescott, T. J. (2012). Towards hierarchical blackboard mapping on a whiskered robot. Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 60(11), 1356-1366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2012.03.005

The paradigm case for robotic mapping assumes large quantities of sensory information which allow the use of relatively weak priors. In contrast, the present study considers the mapping problem for a mobile robot, CrunchBot, where only sparse, local... Read More about Towards hierarchical blackboard mapping on a whiskered robot.

Translation techniques in cross-language information retrieval (2012)
Journal Article
Zhou, D., Truran, M., Brailsford, T., Wade, V., & Ashman, H. (2012). Translation techniques in cross-language information retrieval. ACM Computing Surveys, 45(1), 1-44. https://doi.org/10.1145/2379776.2379777

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is an active sub-domain of information retrieval (IR). Like IR, CLIR is centered on the search for documents and for information contained within those documents. Unlike IR, CLIR must reconcile queries and...

A pilot investigation of Information Extraction in the semantic annotation of archaeological reports (2012)
Journal Article
Vlachidis, A., & Tudhope, D. (2012). A pilot investigation of Information Extraction in the semantic annotation of archaeological reports. International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies, 7(3), 222-235. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMSO.2012.050183

The paper discusses a prototype investigation of semantic annotation, a form of metadata assigning conceptual entities to textual instances; in the case of archaeological grey literature. The use of Information Extraction (IE), a Natural Language Pro... Read More about A pilot investigation of Information Extraction in the semantic annotation of archaeological reports.

Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections (2012)
Journal Article
Howard, G., Howard, D., Gale, E., Bull, L., De Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. (2012). Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 16(5), 711-729. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2011.2170199

This paper presents a spiking neuroevolutionary system which implements memristors as plastic connections, i.e., whose weights can vary during a trial. The evolutionary design process exploits parameter self-adaptation and variable topologies, allowi... Read More about Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections.

Efficient two-move blind signatures in the common reference string model (2012)

Blind signatures provide a mechanism for achieving privacy and anonymity whereby a user gets the signer to sign a message of his choice without the signer learning the message, or being able to link a signature to the protocol run via which it was ob...
