Journal Article
Summers, T., Cook, J., Famer, W., Raffaella Ferrè, E., Harrison, L., Hemming, R., …Whittaker, L. (2021). Music and sound in virtual/augmented realities—Questions, challenges and approaches: A multidisciplinary roundtable. Journal of Sound and Music in Games, 2(2), 63-83. https://doi.org/10.1525/jsmg.2021.2.2.63

The mid-to-late 2010s saw a renewed interest in virtual reality technologies with the release of a wide selection of consumer VR headsets and glasses, and the increased power of smartphones to provide augmented reality experiences. While research on... Read More about Music and sound in virtual/augmented realities—Questions, challenges and approaches: A multidisciplinary roundtable.

Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Camilleri, A., Hong, J., Dogramadzi, S., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2020, May). Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction. Presented at ICRA 2020

To achieve safe close-proximity human-robot interaction , particularly for physically assitive tasks, robot motion planning needs to recognize and adapt to the behaviour of humans in the long-term. Generally, motion prediction with probabilistic conf... Read More about Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction.

The trinity test: Workshop on unified notations for practices and pedagogies in music and programming (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Nash, C. (2016, May). The trinity test: Workshop on unified notations for practices and pedagogies in music and programming. Presented at International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation (TENOR) 2016, Cambridge, UK

This paper outlines a workshop to explore intersections of programming and music in digital notation. With the aid of the Manhattan music programming and sequencing environment (Nash, 2014), methods for representing both high-level processes and low-...

Refactoring: 25 years on (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C. (2016, April). Refactoring: 25 years on. Presented at 2016 Annual Conference of the Association of C and C++ Users (ACCU), Bristol, UK

It’s been some 25 years since ‘refactoring’ was suggested and is now central to programming practice. But how is refactoring conducted today compared to its original notions? After a quick recap on the original ideas of refactoring, this workshop exp... Read More about Refactoring: 25 years on.

The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Mayne, R., & Adamatzky, A. (2014, December). The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability. Presented at BICT 2014, Boston, USA

The plasmodial form of slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic acellular organism that is capable of apparently intelligent behaviour, yet it lacks any features usually associated with intelligence. In this investigation, we study the morp... Read More about The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability.
