Ashby’s mobile homeostat (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In Design for a Brain, W. Ross Ashby speculates about the possibility of creating a mobile homeostat " with its critical states set so that it seeks situations of high illumination. " This paper explores an embedding of Ashby's homeostat within a sim... Read More about Ashby’s mobile homeostat.

Visual analytics of e-mail sociolinguistics for user behavioural analysis (2014)
Journal Article

The cyber-security threat that most organisations face is not one that only resides outside their perimeter attempting to get in, but emanates from the inside too. Insider threats encompass anyone or thing which exploits authorised access to company... Read More about Visual analytics of e-mail sociolinguistics for user behavioural analysis.

Stochastic model of TCP and UDP traffic in IEEE 802.11b/g (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. IEEE 802.11 networks have been widely explored since last decade and IEEE802.11g was proposed to increase the data rate of wireless networks up to 54Mbps which ensure backward capability with IEEE802.11b. The main goal of increasing the... Read More about Stochastic model of TCP and UDP traffic in IEEE 802.11b/g.

A memory-integrated artificial bee algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Swarm intelligence algorithms gain more attention with ever growing computing capabilities since they can provide diverse and useful solutions for ill-structured and complex problems. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a recently developed prom... Read More about A memory-integrated artificial bee algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems.

Synchronization protocols and implementation issues in wireless sensor networks: A review (2014)
Journal Article

Time synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a topic that has been attracting the research community in the last decade. Most performance evaluations of the proposed solutions have been limited to theoretical analysis and simulation. Th...

A framework for cloud-based context-aware information services for citizens in smart cities (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Khan et al.; licensee Springer. Background: In the context of smart cities, public participation and citizen science are key ingredients for informed and intelligent planning decisions and policy-making. However, citizens face a practical chal... Read More about A framework for cloud-based context-aware information services for citizens in smart cities.

Complete characterization of structure of rule 54 (2014)
Journal Article

The dynamics of rule 54 one-dimensional two-state cellular automaton (CA) are a discrete analog of a space-time dynamics of excitations in nonlinear active medium with mutual inhibition. A cell switches its state 0 to state 1 if one of its two neighb... Read More about Complete characterization of structure of rule 54.

Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Early lifecycle software design is an intensely human
activity in which design scale and complexity can place a
high cognitive load on the software designer. Recently, the use of evolutionary search has been suggested to yield insights in the natur... Read More about Using evolutionary computation to shed light on the effect of scale and complexity on object-orientedsoftware design.

Turtle geometry the Python way (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An introduction to coding using Python’s on-screen ‘turtle’ that can be commanded with a few simple instructions including forward, backward, left and right. The turtle leaves a trace that can be used to draw geometric figures. This workshop is aimed... Read More about Turtle geometry the Python way.

Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarumpolycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour. Given such limited resources, can environmenta... Read More about Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould.
