From worst slum to best example of regeneration: Complexity in the regeneration of Hulme, Manchester (2005)
Journal Article
Moobela, C. (2005). From worst slum to best example of regeneration: Complexity in the regeneration of Hulme, Manchester. Emergence: Complexity & Organization, 7(1), 29-42

One of the celebrated features of the emergence of 'complexity thinking' on the research scene is its acclaimed ability to cut across disciplinary boundaries, offering potential explanations to pertinent issues that have haunted 'experts' and bureauc...

Modeling delay and packet drop in Networked Control Systems using network simulator NS2 (2005)
Journal Article
Hasan, M. S., Harding, C., Yu, H., & Griffiths, A. (2005). Modeling delay and packet drop in Networked Control Systems using network simulator NS2. International Journal of Automation and Computing, 2(2), 187-194. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11633-005-0187-x

Wireless Networked Control Systems (WNCS) are used to implement a control mechanism over a wireless network that is capable of carrying real-time traffic. This field has drawn enormous attention from current researchers because of its flexibility and...

Cooperation, risk and the evolution of teamwork (2005)
Book Chapter
Andras, P., & Lazarus, J. (2005). Cooperation, risk and the evolution of teamwork. In N. Gold (Ed.), Teamwork: Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives (56-77). London: Palgrave Macmillan. https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230523203_4

Our aims in this chapter are twofold. First, we place teamwork in the context of the evolutionary analysis of cooperation and altruism. This allows us to predict the evolutionary scenarios likely to have favoured the evolution of team work, the proba... Read More about Cooperation, risk and the evolution of teamwork.

Self-Aware software – will it become a reality? (2005)
Book Chapter
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2005). Self-Aware software – will it become a reality?. In O. Babaoglu, M. Jelasity, A. Montresor, C. Fetzer, & S. Leonardi (Eds.), Self-star Properties in Complex Information Systems: conceptual and Practical Foundations (229-259). Springer

The possibility of building self-aware software fascinated computer scientist since the beginning of computer science. Research in AI, and in particular on software agents, agent system, computational reflection and reflective software delivered inte...

Effectiveness of information provision in reducing risks to the environment (2005)
Report
Andras, P., Bush, J., Garratt, J., Hinks, J., Kennedy, A., Piggott, G., …Willis, K. (2005). Effectiveness of information provision in reducing risks to the environment. Defra

As part of a wider effort to develop new approaches to evaluating and quantifying the benefits of chemicals regulation, this project will review the effectiveness of existing information provision tools (such as classification and labelling for hazar...

The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules (2005)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Andras, C. (2005). The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2004.11.029

The ‘protein interaction world’ (PIW) hypothesis of the origins of life assumes that life emerged as a self-reproducing and expanding system of protein interactions. In mainstream molecular biology, ‘replication’ refers to the material copying of mol...

Monitoring has been described by Joyce et al. as “the process of dynamic collection, interpretation and presentation of information concerning objects or software processes under scrutiny”. In his book on network and system management, Sloman has lat... Read More about Distributed Monitoring: Methods, Means and Technologies.

An adaptive clustering approach for the management of dynamic systems (2005)
Journal Article
Ragusa, C., Liotta, A., & Pavlou, G. (2005). An adaptive clustering approach for the management of dynamic systems. IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 23(12), 2223-2235. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSAC.2005.857203

Adaptive clustering is one of the fundamental problems behind autonomic systems and, more generally, an open research issue in the area of networking and distributed systems. The problem of giving structure to large-scale, dynamic systems through clu... Read More about An adaptive clustering approach for the management of dynamic systems.
