MapReduce and stream processing are two emerging, but different, paradigms for analyzing, processing and making sense of large volumes of modern day data. While MapReduce offers t...
The goal of engineering self-organising emergent systems is to acquire a macroscopic system behaviour solely from autonomous local activity and interaction. Due to the non-determin...
Simulation of existing systems can reinforce a Subject Matter Expert’s gut feelings. However, it is more difficult to develop intuition for proposed systems, particularly when c...

Classically, cognition assumes that the underlying mechanisms of thinking are based on symbol manipulation processes. This assumption has several drawbacks, such as the issue of w...
Abstract. We introduce a class of embedded-particle models for describing the emergent computational strategies observed in cellular automata (CAs) that were evolved for performing...
