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...

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.

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...

A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Chrysoulas, C., Haleplidis, E., Kostopoulos, G., Denazis, S., & Koufopavlou, O. (2006). A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation. In Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP)

Modeling comes to a necessity when there is something new to be developed and there is a need to specify in exact detail a specific architecture. This paper describes a model of a Distributed Router's Architecture specifically suited for the IST proj... Read More about A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation.

Dissimilarity analysis of signal processing methods for texture classification (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Qaiser, N., Hussain, M., Hussain, A., Iqbal, N., & Qaiser, N. (2006). Dissimilarity analysis of signal processing methods for texture classification. In 2005 Pakistan Section Multitopic Conference. https://doi.org/10.1109/INMIC.2005.334512

As observed from the literature survey, there is no commonly accepted quantitative definition of visual texture. As a consequence, researchers seeking a quantitative texture measure have been forced to search intuitively for texture features, and the...

A nonlinear PID-based multiple controller incorporating a multilayered neural network learning submodel (2006)
Journal Article
Zayed, A., Hussain, A., & Grimble, M. (2006). A nonlinear PID-based multiple controller incorporating a multilayered neural network learning submodel. Control and Intelligent Systems, 34, 177-184. https://doi.org/10.2316/Journal.201.2006.3.201-1499

A new nonlinear minimum-variance adaptive proportional integral derivative (PID) based multiple controller, incorporating a multi- layered neural network learning submodel, is presented. The unknown non-linear plant is represented by an equivalent st... Read More about A nonlinear PID-based multiple controller incorporating a multilayered neural network learning submodel.

From Dunedin to Dunedin: Supporting students in the changing world of higher education (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Godfrey, H., & Richards, K. (2006). From Dunedin to Dunedin: Supporting students in the changing world of higher education. In C. Bond, & G. Grigg (Eds.), Supporting learning in the 21st century: Refereed proceedings of the 2005 Association of Tertiary Learning Advisors of Aotearoa New Zealand Conference

Against the background of the widening access agenda in higher education in Scotland, this article describes the initiatives taken by Napier University to address the issues. The article explores different models of learning support, argues that one... Read More about From Dunedin to Dunedin: Supporting students in the changing world of higher education.

Improving the Performance of Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm for Function Approximation Through Parallel Islands Specialisation (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Guillen, A., Rojas, I., Gonzalez, J., Pomares, H., Herrera, L. J., & Paechter, B. (2006). Improving the Performance of Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm for Function Approximation Through Parallel Islands Specialisation. In AI 2006: Advances in Artificial Intelligence (1127-1132). https://doi.org/10.1007/11941439_135

Nature shows many examples where the specialisation of elements aimed to solve different problems is successful. There are explorer ants, worker bees, etc., where a group of individuals is assigned a specific task. This paper will extrapolate this ph...
