System dynamics modelling to support policy analysis for sustainable health care
(2014)
System dynamics (SD) is an established simulation methodology used to explore the behaviour of social systems over time. The field has addressed challenging sustainability problems in fisheries, urban planning and environmental ...
Polarity assessment of thermoresponsive poly(NIPAM-co-NtBA) copolymer films using fluorescence methods.
(Springer, 2010)
The in-situ, non-contact, and non-destructive measurement of the physicochemical properties such as the polarity of thin, hydrophilic polymer films is desirable in many areas of polymer science. Polarity is a complex factor ...
Evolution of cooperation in N-player social dilemmas: The importance of being mobile
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
This paper addresses issues regarding the emergence of cooperation in evolutionary, spatial game-theoretic simulations. In the model considered, agents participate in a social dilemma with their neighbours and have the ...
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 ...
The optional prisoner's dilemma in a spatial environment: Co-evolving game strategy and link weights
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
In this paper, the Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma game in a spatial environment, with coevolutionary rules for both the strategy and network links between agents, is studied. Using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, a number ...
Simulation of an optional strategy in the prisoner’s dilemma in spatial and non-spatial environments
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)
This paper presents research comparing the effects of different environments on the outcome of an extended Prisoner's Dilemma, in which agents have the option to abstain from playing the game. We consider three different ...
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 ...
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ...
Cyclic dominance in the spatial coevolutionary optional prisoner's dilemma game
(CEUR-WS.org, 2016-09-20)
This paper studies scenarios of cyclic dominance in a coevolutionary
spatial model in which game strategies and links between
agents adaptively evolve over time. The Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma
(OPD) game is employed. ...
An evolutionary approach to formation control with mobile robots
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
The field of swarm robotics studies multi-robot systems, emphasising decentralised and self-organising behaviours that deal with limited individual abilities, local sensing and local communication. A robotic system needs ...
