Project SAM: Developing an app to provide self-help for anxiety
Report
Topham, P., Caleb-Solly, P., & Matthews, P. (2015). Project SAM: Developing an app to provide self-help for anxiety

An interdisciplinary team at the University of the West of England (UWE) was commissioned and funded to develop a mobile phone app which would provide self-help options for the management of mild to moderate anxiety. The completed app would extend th... Read More about Project SAM: Developing an app to provide self-help for anxiety.

Material-based non-neural analogues of lateral inhibition: A multi-agent approach
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, J. (2014, September). Material-based non-neural analogues of lateral inhibition: A multi-agent approach. Paper presented at Adaptive Materials, Devices and Systems Towards Unconventional Computing and Robotics: Modeling and Implementation, Rhodes, Greece

Lateral Inhibition (LI) phenomena occur in a wide range of sensory modalities and are most famously described in the human visual system. In LI the activity of a stimulated neuron is itself excited and suppresses the activity of its local neighbours...

Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, J. (2014, September). Exploiting environmental computation in a multi-agent model of slime mould. Presented at ABBII International Symposium on Artificial, Biological and Bio-Inspired Intelligence, Rhodes, Greece

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.

Biology and computing
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gale, E. (2011, November). Biology and computing. Presented at Faculty Research Colloquium, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Memristors, the recently discovered 4th fundamental circuit element, have been used as models for biological components, such as neurons. It may be that neurons are memristors, rather than just conveniently modeled by them. This presentation covers r... Read More about Biology and computing.

Interactive evolutionary computing in early lifecycle software engineering design
Thesis
Simons, C. (2011). Interactive evolutionary computing in early lifecycle software engineering design. (Thesis). University of the West of England. https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/963226

Design is fundamental to software development. Indeed, early lifecycle software engineering design is crucial and has significant impact of subsequent development activities. Inferior designs can result in deleterious down-stream consequences. Theref... Read More about Interactive evolutionary computing in early lifecycle software engineering design.

Interactive cyber-physical system hacking: Engaging students early using Scalextric
Presentation / Conference Contribution
White, J., Legg, P., & Mills, A. (2022, November). Interactive cyber-physical system hacking: Engaging students early using Scalextric. Paper presented at Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education, 2022, Online

Cyber Security as an education discipline covers a variety of topics that can be challenging and complex for students who are new to the subject domain. With this in mind, it is crucial that new students are motivated by understanding both the techni...

Teaching offensive and defensive cyber security in schools using a Raspberry Pi Cyber Range
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Legg, P., Mills, A., & Johnson, I. (2022, November). Teaching offensive and defensive cyber security in schools using a Raspberry Pi Cyber Range. Paper presented at Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education, Online

Computer Science as a subject is now appearing in more school curricula for GCSE and A level, with a growing demand for cyber security to be embedded within this teaching. Yet, teachers face challenges with limited time and resource for preparing pra... Read More about Teaching offensive and defensive cyber security in schools using a Raspberry Pi Cyber Range.

Development of communicating stream x-machine tool for modeling and generating test cases for automated teller machine
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adewale Sanusi, B., Ogunshile, E., Aydin, M., Olatunde Olabiyisi, S., & Oyedepo Oyediran, M. (2022, August). Development of communicating stream x-machine tool for modeling and generating test cases for automated teller machine. Paper presented at 9th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT 2022), Chennai, India

The improvement of this paper takes advantage of the existing formal method called Stream X-Machine by optimizing the theory and applying it to practice in a large-scale system. This optimized formal approach called Communicating Stream X-Machine (CS...
