Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
(jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ... -
Economic analysis of short-rotation forests for energy in Ireland
(North-Holland Pubs., Amsterdam, 1986) -
An empirical study of the impact of systems thinking and simulation on sustainability education
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)Education for sustainable development (ESD) is considered vital to the success of the United Nations¿ sustainable development goals. Systems thinking has been identified as a core competency that must be included in ESD. ... -
Equation-based policy optimization for agent-oriented system dynamics models
(Wiley Blackwell, 2008-01-01)Within system dynamics, optimization has played an important role in identifying the best range of parameter values for policies in any given model. Optimal solutions focus on discovering the best combination of model ... -
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 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, ... -
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 ... -
Multi-objective multi-agent decision making: a utility-based analysis and survey
(Springer Verlag, 2019-12-09)The majority of multi-agent system implementations aim to optimise agents policies with respect to a single objective, despite the fact that many real-world problem domains are inherently multi-objective in nature. ... -
Observations on the shortest independent loop set algorithm
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-07-31)The shortest independent loop set (SILS) algorithm is a widely adopted loop selection method in eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. However, we find that, in an individual-based model, the SILS cannot ... -
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(Elsevier, 2009)Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification accuracy, ... -
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 ...
