Faults, errors and failures in communications: a systems theory perspective on organisational structure (2006)
Book Chapter
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. (2006). Faults, errors and failures in communications: a systems theory perspective on organisational structure. In D. Besnard, C. Gacek, & C. B. Jones (Eds.), Structure for Dependability: Computer-Based Systems from an Interdisciplinary Perspective (189-213). London: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/1-84628-111-3_10

Abstract communications systems theory may be a valuable tool for the description, prediction and control of organizations. An organization is conceptualized as an abstract system of inter-human communications; humans are the main organization 'commu...

The language of cortical dynamics (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2006). The language of cortical dynamics. In Computational Life Sciences II: Second International Symposium, CompLife 2006, Cambridge, UK, September 27-29, 2006. Proceedings (247-256). https://doi.org/10.1007/11875741_24

Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neural system. Here we describe the extraction of an activity pattern language... Read More about The language of cortical dynamics.

Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P., Idowu, O., & Periorellis, P. (2006). Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems. In AISB'06: Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Fault tolerance is a key aspect of the dependability of complex computer-based systems. Fault tolerance may be difficult to measure directly in complex real world systems, and we propose here to measure it in terms of integrity preservation of the sy...

High-resolution multiple-unit EEG in cat auditory cortex reveals large spatio-temporal stochastic interactions (2006)
Journal Article
Wennekers, T., Ay, N., & Andras, P. (2007). High-resolution multiple-unit EEG in cat auditory cortex reveals large spatio-temporal stochastic interactions. BioSystems, 89(1-3), 190-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2006.04.017

It has been argued that information processing in the cortex is optimised with regard to certain information theoretic principles. We have, for instance, recently shown that spike-timing dependent plasticity can improve an information-theoretic measu...

Cortical activity pattern computation (2006)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Wennekers, T. (2007). Cortical activity pattern computation. BioSystems, 87(2-3), 179-185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2006.09.012

Neural computations are modelled in various ways, but still there is no clear understanding of how the brain performs its computational tasks. This paper presents new results about analysis of neural processes in terms of activity pattern computation... Read More about Cortical activity pattern computation.

Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data (2006)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2006). Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data. Neurocomputing, 69(10-12), 1313-1316. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2005.12.099

Recent research shows that activity patterns play an important role in neural information processing. This seems to be the case both at micro- and macro-level processes within the nervous system. An important question is how to extract such activity... Read More about Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data.

Managing Missed Interactions in Distributed Virtual Environments (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Parkin, S., Andras, P., & Morgan, G. (2006). Managing Missed Interactions in Distributed Virtual Environments. In EGVE'06: Proceedings of the 12th Eurographics conference on Virtual Environments (27-34)

A scalable distributed virtual environment (DVE) may be achieved by ensuring virtual world objects communicate their actions to only those objects that fall within their influence, reducing the need to send and process unnecessary messages. A missed... Read More about Managing Missed Interactions in Distributed Virtual Environments.
