Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory.

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..

On balancing traffic load in path-based multicast communication. (2003)

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...
