Technologies can be used ? or appropriated ? in different ways by different users, but how do the use patterns evolve, and how can design facilitate such evolution? This paper app...
We present a low-power analog circuit for implementing a model of a leaky integrate and fire neuron. Next to being optimized for low-power consumption, the proposed circuit inclu...
Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are optimisation techniques inspired from natural evolution processes. They handle a population of individuals that evolve with the help of informatio...
