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). Berlin: 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...

Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Wennekers, T., Ay, N., & Andras, P. (2005). Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems. In 6th Neural Coding Workshop

Brains are information processing systems evolutionary adapted since millions of years. It seems plausible therefore that they follow information theoretic optimization principles. In the early visual system mutual information maximization (Infomax)... Read More about Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems.

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...

Environmental risk (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P., Lazarus, J., Roberts, G., & Lynden, S. J. (2005). Environmental risk. In Proceedings of the Joint Symposium on Socially Inspired Computing (88-94)

Environmental risk is an important factor that influences social evolution in natural and artificial environments. Here we analyse environmental risk and we define objective, subjective and effective environmental risk, which are important aspects of... Read More about Environmental risk.

Kohonen networks with graph-based augmented metrics (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P., & Idowu, O. (2005). Kohonen networks with graph-based augmented metrics. In WSOM 2005 (179-186)

Correct and efficient text classification is a major challenge in today’s world of rapidly increasing amount of accessible electronic text data. Kohonen networks have been applied to document classification with comparable success to other document c... Read More about Kohonen networks with graph-based augmented metrics.
