Journal Article
Jones, J. (2011). Influences on the formation and evolution of Physarum polycephalum inspired emergent transport networks. Natural Computing, 10(4), 1345-1369. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11047-010-9223-z

The single-celled organism Physarum polycephalum efficiently constructs and minimises dynamical nutrient transport networks resembling proximity graphs in the Toussaint hierarchy. We present a particle model which collectively approximates the behavi... Read More about Influences on the formation and evolution of Physarum polycephalum inspired emergent transport networks.

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...

Identification of key performance indicators for measuring the performance of value management studies in construction (2011)
Journal Article
Lin, G., Shen, G. Q., Sun, M., & Kelly, J. (2011). Identification of key performance indicators for measuring the performance of value management studies in construction. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 137(9), 698-706. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29CO.1943-7862.0000348

Value management (VM) is widely regarded as a useful tool for management to meet the challenges, such as limited resources and tight schedules arising in the construction industry. A rigorous measurement on the performance of VM studies is likely to...

In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained do... Read More about On Roman, Global and Restrained Domination in Graphs.

Views of (distant) bridges. Displacement and the presences of absences in practices of everyday landscape: An autotopographical account (2011)
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. Displacement and the presences of absences in practices of everyday landscape: An autotopographical account.

Direct numerical simulation of single and multiple square jets in cross-flow (2011)
