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.

On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets (2012)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., Holley, J., Dittrich, P., Gorecki, J., De Lacy Costello, B., Zauner, K. P., & Bull, L. (2012). On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets. BioSystems, 109(1), 72-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2011.12.007

When lipid vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) excitable chemical medium are packed in tight assembles, waves of excitation may travel between the vesicles. When several waves meet in a vesicle some fragments may deflect, others can annihi... Read More about On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets.

Time-dependent wave selection for information processing in excitable media (2012)
Journal Article
Costello, B. D. L., Stevens, W. M., Adamatzky, A., Jahan, I., & de Lacy Costello, B. (2012). Time-dependent wave selection for information processing in excitable media. Physical Review E, 85(6), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.85.066129

We demonstrate an improved technique for implementing logic circuits in light-sensitive chemical excitable media. The technique makes use of the constant-speed propagation of waves along defined channels in an excitable medium based on the Belousov-Z...

Cartesian genetic programming for memristive logic circuits (2012)
Journal Article
Howard, G. D., Bull, L., & Adamatzky, A. (2012). Cartesian genetic programming for memristive logic circuits. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7244 LNCS, 37-48. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29139-5_4

In this paper memristive logic circuits are evolved using Cartesian Genetic Programming. Graphs comprised of implication logic (IMP) nodes are compared to more ubiquitous NAND circuitry on a number of logic circuit problems and a robotic control task...

The giant single-celled slime mould Physarum polycephalum exhibits complex morphological adaptation and amoeboid movement as it forages for food and may be seen as a minimal example of complex robotic behaviour. Swarm computation has previously been... Read More about Emergence of self-organized amoeboid movement in a multi-agent approximation of Physarum polycephalum.

Towards an intelligent distributed conveyor (2012)
Journal Article
Georgilas, I., Adamatzky, A., & Melhuish, C. (2012). Towards an intelligent distributed conveyor. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7429, 457-458

Manipulation, orientation and handling of components, subparts and finished products is an essential element of any industrial process, which attracts substantial portion of resources and infrastructure. A classic manipulation, e.g. robot arms, is no... Read More about Towards an intelligent distributed conveyor.

Towards physarum engines (2012)
Journal Article
