A scalable plane-based broadcast algorithm for 3D-Mesh networks (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Mackenzie, L. (2003, February). A scalable plane-based broadcast algorithm for 3D-Mesh networks. Presented at Eleventh Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Processing, 2003. Proceedings

Broadcast algorithms for wormhole–switched meshes
have been widely reported in the literature. However,
most of these algorithms handle broadcast in a sequential
manner and do not scale well with the network size. As a
consequence, many parallel... Read More about A scalable plane-based broadcast algorithm for 3D-Mesh networks.

Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..
