Diversifying search in bee algorithms for numerical optimisation (2018)
Journal Article
Düg̃enci, M., & Aydin, M. E. (2018). Diversifying search in bee algorithms for numerical optimisation. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 11056 LNAI, 132-144. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-98446-9_13

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. Swarm intelligence offers useful instruments for developing collective behaviours to solve complex, ill-structured and large-scale problems. Efficiency in collective behaviours depends on how to harmonise the in... Read More about Diversifying search in bee algorithms for numerical optimisation.

Building collaboration in multi-agent systems using reinforcement learning (2018)

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. This paper presents a proof-of concept study for demonstrating the viability of building collaboration among multiple agents through standard Q learning algorithm embedded in particle swarm optimisation. Collabo... Read More about Building collaboration in multi-agent systems using reinforcement learning.

A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot (2018)
Journal Article
Battle, S., & Thompson, M. (2018). A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot. Communications in Computer and Information Science, 732, 42-55. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-90418-4_4

© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. The behaviour of a reactive, line-following robot is analysed using modal logic. This provides an approach that is complementary to numerical simulation, allowing us to explore the... Read More about A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot.

Governing narrative events with tropes as institutional norms (2018)
Journal Article
Thompson, M., Padget, J., & Battle, S. (2018). Governing narrative events with tropes as institutional norms. Communications in Computer and Information Science, 732, 133-137. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-90418-4_11

© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. A narrative world can be viewed as a form of society in which characters follow a set of social norms whose collective function is to guide the characters through (the creation of)...
