A comparison of Message Passing Interface and Communicating Process Architecture networking communication performance. (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K. (2012). A comparison of Message Passing Interface and Communicating Process Architecture networking communication performance. In P. Welch, F. R. M. Barnes, K. Chalmers, J. B. Pedersen, & A. T. Sampson (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2012 (107-120)

Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a popular approach to enable Single Process, Multiple Data (SPMD) style parallel computing, particularly in cluster computing environments. Communicating Process Architecture (CPA) Networking on the other hand, has...

JCSP agents-based service discovery for pervasive computing. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Kosek, A., Kerridge, J., Syed, A., & Armitage, A. (2009). JCSP agents-based service discovery for pervasive computing. In P. H. Welch, H. Roebbers, J. F. Broenink, F. R. M. Barnes, C. G. Ritson, A. T. Sampson, & G. S. Vinter (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2009 - WoTUG-32 (363-373). https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-60750-065-0-363

Device and service discovery is a very important topic when considering pervasive environments. The discovery mechanism is required to work in networks with dynamic topology and on limited software, and be able to accept different device descriptions...

An application of CoSMoS design methods to pedestrian simulation. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Clayton, S., Urquhart, N., & Kerridge, J. (2009). An application of CoSMoS design methods to pedestrian simulation. In P. H. Welch, H. Roebbers, J. F. Broenink, F. R. M. Barnes, C. G. Ritson, A. T. Sampson, …B. Vinter (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2009 WoTUG-32. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-60750-065-0-197

In this paper, we discuss the implementation of a simple pedestrian simulation that uses a multi agent based design pattern developed by the CoSMoS research group. Given the nature of Multi Agent Systems (MAS), parallel processing techniques are inev... Read More about An application of CoSMoS design methods to pedestrian simulation..

An investigation into distributed channel mobility support for Communicating Process Architectures. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K., & Kerridge, J. (2009). An investigation into distributed channel mobility support for Communicating Process Architectures. In P. H. Welch, F. R. M. Barnes, G. S. Stiles, J. F. Broenink, H. Roebbers, & A. T. Sampson (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2009 (205-223). https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-60750-065-0-205

Localised mobile channel support is now a feature of Communicating Process Architecture (CPA) based frameworks, from JCSP and C++CSP to occam-pi. Distributed mobile channel support has also been attempted in JCSP Networking and occam-pi via the pony...

Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Kerridge, J., Haschke, J., & Chalmers, K. (2008). Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures. In P. H. Welch, S. Stepney, F. Polack, F. R. M. Barnes, A. McEwan, G. S.

The mobile agent concept has been developed over a number of years and is widely accepted as one way of solving problems that require the achievement of a goal that cannot be serviced at a specific node in a network. The concept of a mobile process i... Read More about Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures..

A critique of JCSP networking (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Chalmers, K., Kerridge, J., & Romdhani, I. (2008). A critique of JCSP networking. In P. H. Welch, S. Stepney, F. Polack, F. R. Barnes, A. McEwan, G. S. Stiles, …A. T. Sampson (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2008 (271-291). https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-58603-907-3-271

We present a critical investigation of the current implementation of JCSP Networking, examining in detail the structure and behavior of the current architecture. Information is presented detailing the current architecture and how it operates, and wea... Read More about A critique of JCSP networking.
