Book Chapter
Hart, E., McEwan, C., & Davoudani, D. (2009). Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems. In C. Mumford, & L. Jain (Eds.), Intelligent Systems Reference Library; Computational Intelligence (527-558). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01799-5_16

Despite a steady increase in the application of algorithms inspired by the natural immune system to a variety of domains over the previous decade, we argue that the field of Artificial Immune Systems has yet to achieve its full potential. We suggest... Read More about Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems.

This chapter concerns the question of how people navigate through a space in which other people are also present. Issues addressed include how the space itself affects the way people navigate, how this is changed by the presence of others in the spac... Read More about Let's Meander Through a Measured Space.

Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence (2009)
Book Chapter

This chapter considers the role of sound, and more specifically, listening, in creating a sense of presence (of "being there") in "places" recreated by virtual reality technologies. We first briefly review the treatment of sound in place and presence... Read More about Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence.
