Comparison of ant-inspired gatherer allocation approaches using memristor-based environmental models (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Gale, E., de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. (2011, December). Comparison of ant-inspired gatherer allocation approaches using memristor-based environmental models. Paper presented at Bioadcom 2011 Workshop on Bio-inspired Approaches to Advanced Computing and Communications (BioAdcom2011), York, England

Memristors are used to compare three gathering techniques in an already-mapped environment where resource locations are known. The All Site model, which apportions gatherers based on the modeled memristance of that path, proves to be good at increasi...

Background: Spatial planning affects the built environment, which in turn has the potential to have a significant impact on health, for good or ill. One way of ensuring that spatial plans take due account of health is through the inclusion of health...

This paper proposes a novel reflectional asymmetry descriptor to quantize the asymmetry of the cutaneous lesions for the discrimination of malignant melanoma from benign nevi. A pigmentation elevation model of the biological indexes is first construc... Read More about Biological indexes based reflectional asymmetry for classifying cutaneous lesions.

Bridging the gap between business process models and service-oriented architectures with reference to the grid environment (2011)
Journal Article
Khan, Z., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2011). Bridging the gap between business process models and service-oriented architectures with reference to the grid environment. International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing, 2(4), 253-283. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJGUC.2011.042943

In recent years, organisations have been seeking technological solutions for enacting their business process models using ad-hoc and heuristic approaches. However, limited results have been obtained due to the expansion of business processes across g...

The habitats directive and fisheries administration: An immovable object meets and irresistible force? (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Appleby, T., & Solandt, J. (2011, September). The habitats directive and fisheries administration: An immovable object meets and irresistible force?. Paper presented at World Conference on Marine Biodiversity, Aberdeen, Scotland (UK)

Fisheries are the exclusive competence of the European Union (EU), while responsibility for environmental law is shared between the EU and its member states. This makes it difficult for the EU to enforce environmental law against the EU common fisher...

The distributed co-evolution of an embodied simulator and controller for swarm robot behaviours (2011)
Presentation / Conference
O'Dowd, P., Winfield, A. F., & Studley, M. (2011, September). The distributed co-evolution of an embodied simulator and controller for swarm robot behaviours. Paper presented at IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2011), San Francisco, USA

Embodied fitness assessment of robotic controllers is slow but grounded, while assessment in a simulated environment is fast but can run foul of the ‘reality gap’. We present a distributed co-evolutionary method to adapt the environmental model of an...

Journal Article
Jones, O. Views of (distant) bridges. Displacement and the presences of absences in practices of everyday landscape: An autotopographical account. Manuscript submitted for publication

I seek to contribute to recent discussions of absence, landscape, and memory within cultural geography and beyond, adding differing inflections about the ways in which absences can operate. A series of attachments, tensions and disjunctions relating... Read More about Views of (distant) bridges.
