Application of context-mediated behavior to a multi-agent pedestrian flow model (PEDFLOW). (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kukla, R., Willis, A., & Kerridge, J. (2003, January). Application of context-mediated behavior to a multi-agent pedestrian flow model (PEDFLOW). Presented at 82th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB)

Developers of pedestrian models often overlook the fact that pedestrians are subjected to a multitude of influences when walking. The majority of existing models only focus on a single aspect, typically the avoidance of obstructions or other pedestri...

Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2002, September). Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. Presented at ICARIS 2002

The relationship between immunological memory and a class of associative memories known as sparse distributed memories (SDM) is well known. This paper proposes a new model for clustering non-stationary data based on a combination of salient features...
