HYPE: A Process Algebra for Compositional Flows and Emergent Behaviour
Several process algebras for modelling hybrid systems have appeared in the literature in recent years. These all assume that continuous variables in the system are modelled monolit...

Duplication of Modules Facilitates the Evolution of Functional Specialization
The evolution of simulated robots with three different architectures is studied in this article. We compare a nonmodular feed-forward network, a hardwired modular, and a duplicatio...

Compiler-enhanced incremental checkpointing for OpenMP applications
As modern supercomputing systems reach the peta-flop performance range, they grow in both size and complexity. This makes them increasingly vulnerable to failures from a variety ...
