Squishy logic (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Based on the idea of ‘Squishy Circuits’ from the Playful Learning Lab at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota), we’re using conductive play dough to create simple logic circuits – AND, OR, and NOT gates – from which computers are built.

The influence of search components and problem characteristics in early life cycle class modelling (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. This paper examines the factors affecting the quality of solution found by meta-heuristic search when optimising object-oriented software class models. From the algorithmic perspective, we examine the effect... Read More about The influence of search components and problem characteristics in early life cycle class modelling.

Neutral space analysis for a Boolean network model of the fission yeast cell cycle network (2014)
Journal Article

Background
Interactions between genes and their products give rise to complex circuits known as gene regulatory networks (GRN) that enable cells to process information and respond to external stimuli. Several important processes for life, depend of... Read More about Neutral space analysis for a Boolean network model of the fission yeast cell cycle network.

Towards the evolution of vertical-axis wind turbines using supershapes (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We have recently presented an initial study of evolutionary algorithms used to design vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) wherein candidate prototypes are evaluated under fan generated wind conditions after...

On secure, privacy-aware, and efficient beacon broadcasting among one-hop neighbors in VANETs (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) applications achieve a decent packet delivery ratio using mobility information in the beacon messages broadcasted to the single hop neighbours. Recently it has been found that if two VANET nodes are not within a... Read More about On secure, privacy-aware, and efficient beacon broadcasting among one-hop neighbors in VANETs.

A logic for context-aware non-monotonic reasoning agents (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. We develop a logical model for resource-bounded contextaware multi-agent systems which handles inconsistent context information using non-monotonic reasoning. We extend the temporal logic CTL* wit...

Method for memory consistency among heterogeneous computer components (2014)
Patent

A method, computer program product, and system is described that determines the correctness of using memory operations in a computing device with heterogeneous computer components. Embodiments include an optimizer based on the characteristics of a Se... Read More about Method for memory consistency among heterogeneous computer components.

Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process (2014)
Journal Article

© IMechE 2014. The supplier selection is a key component of the supply chain management. Existing methods for the supplier selection are based on analytic network process. They can handle the interdependence of decision attributes; however, these met... Read More about Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process.

Privacy-aware IoT cloud survivability for future connected home ecosystem (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cloud services can greatly enhance the capabilities of mobile and smart devices, particularly within the ecosystem of connected home futures. A single device now performs multiple functions: organizing contacts and calendars, playing games, storing s...

Advancing underutilized crops knowledge using SWRL-enabled ontologies - A survey and early experiment (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Due to their powerful knowledge representation formalism and associated inference mechanisms, ontology-based approaches have been increasingly adopted to formally represent domain knowledge. We propose the use of ontologies to advance knowledge-shari... Read More about Advancing underutilized crops knowledge using SWRL-enabled ontologies - A survey and early experiment.
