Examining the use of a non-trivial fixed genotype-phenotype mapping in genetic algorithms to induce phenotypic variability over deceptive uncertain landscapes
(IEEE, 2011-06-05)In nature, living organisms can be viewed as the product of their genotype-phenotype mapping (GP-map). This paper presents a GP-map loosely based on the biological phe- nomena of transcription and translation, to create a ... -
Experimental Assessment of an Emotion Tracking Software Agent (ETA) for Assisting Communicative Interactions of Multitasking Users in Groupware
(Eurosis, 2011-08-22)Interactions such as discussion and negotiation in face-to-face work contexts strongly rely on non-verbal feedback. Such feedback provides indications of important negotiation states such as agreement or disagreement and ... -
Follow flee: A contingent mobility strategy for the spatial prisoner's dilemma
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)This paper presents results from a series of experimental simulations comparing the performances of mobile strategies of agents participating in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. The contingent movement strategies Walk ... -
A Framework for Digital Wide-Area Survey from Aerial Photographs
(Wordwell Ltd., 1998)Despite the potential offered by modern computer technology to the labour-intensive work of 'Aerial Archaeology', few applications have been published. Where developments have been made, they have tended to be carried out ... -
A further analysis of the role of heterogeneity in coevolutionary spatial games
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)Heterogeneity has been studied as one of the most common explanations of the puzzle of cooperation in social dilemmas. A large number of papers have been published discussing the effects of increasing heterogeneity in ... -
A genetic algorithm with a multi-layered genotype-phenotype mapping
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2010-08-24)In this paper we investigate the introduction of a multiple-layer genotype-phenotype mapping to a Genetic Algorithm (GA) which attempts to mimic more closely, the effects of nature. The motivation for introducing multiple-layers ... -
The Genetic Evolution of Kernels for Support Vector Machine Classifiers
(2004)Abstract. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) has emerged in recent years as a popular approach to the classi¿cation of data. One problem that faces the user of an SVM is how to choose a kernel and the speci¿c parameters for ... -
A groupware system for virtual product innovation management
(Wiley, 2007-10-11)We are experiencing a radical shift in the way organizations are designed, structured, and organized. New organizational forms such as virtual strategic partnerships and networks are replacing traditional bureaucratic, ... -
Identifying the reality gap between abstract and realistic models using evolved agents and simulated kilobots
(IEEE, 2018-12-12)A common challenge in evolutionary swarm robotics is the transfer of simulated results into real-world applications. This difficulty can arise in a variety of real-world settings and problems such as sensory differences in ... -
Improving spectral library search by redefining similarity measures
(Journal Of Chemical Information And Modeling, 2015-04-22)Similarity plays a central role in spectral library search. The goal of spectral library search is to identify those spectra in a reference library of known materials that most closely match an unknown query spectrum, on ... -
The influence of random interactions and decision heuristics on norm evolution in social networks
(Springer, 2011-05)In this paper we explore the effect that random social interactions have on the emergence and evolution of social norms in a simulated population of agents. In our model agents observe the behaviour of others and update ... -
Input and output data analysis for system dynamics modelling using the tidyverse libraries of R
(Wiley, 2018-09-07)From a number of perspectives, system dynamics is a data‐intensive activity. First, each modelling challenge addresses behaviour over time, where historical time series data inform the model‐building process, and techniques ... -
An introduction to system dynamics
(Cham: Springer, 2016-06-15)This chapter presents the important concepts underlying the system dynamics modeling method. Following an initial definition of the term model, a summary of a successful system dynamics intervention is described. The key ... -
A learning architecture for scheduling workflow applications in the cloud
(IEEE, 2011-09-15)The scheduling of workflow applications involves the mapping of individual workflow tasks to computational resources, based on a range of functional and non-functional quality of service requirements. Workflow applications ... -
A Machine Learning Application for Classification of Chemical Spectra
(2008)This paper presents a software package that allows chemists to analyze spectroscopy data using innovative machine learning (ML) techniques. The package, designed for use in conjunction with lab-based spectroscopic ... -
Measuring node decentralisation in blockchain peer to peer networks
(Elsevier, 2023-02-08)New blockchain platforms are launching at a high cadence, each fighting for attention, adoption, and infrastructure resources. Several studies have measured the peer-to-peer (P2P) network decentralisation of Bitcoin and ... -
Meme sentiment analysis enhanced with multimodal spatial encoding and facial embedding
(University of Galway, 2022-12-08)Internet memes are characterised by the interspersing of text amongst visual elements. State-of-the-art multimodal meme classifiers do not account for the relative positions of these elements across the two modalities, ... -
Modeling limits to growth
(Springer, Cham, 2016-06-15)This chapter introduces system dynamics models of limits to growth. First, a one-stock model is presented, where the growth rate varies, and is influenced by the system’s carrying capacity. Second, a model of economic ...
