Validating a Model of Colon Colouration Using an Evolution Strategy with Adaptive Approximations
The colour of colon tissue, which depends on the tissue structure, its optical properties, and the quantities of the pigments present in it, can be predicted by a physics-based mod...

The KGP Model of Agency
This paper presents a new model of agency, called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan) model. This draws from the classic BDI model and proposes a hierarchical agent architecture wi...

Limits and Power Laws of Models for the Web Graph and Other Networked Information Spaces
We consider a generalized copy model of the web graph and related networks, and analyze its limiting behaviour. The model is motivated by previously proposed copying models of the ...

Bayesian Model Averaging Across Model Spaces via Compact Encoding
Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is well known for improving predictive accuracy by averaging inferences over all models in the model space. However, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)...

Cell-Oriented Modeling of In Vitro Capillary Development
Abstract. We introduce a Cellular Potts model (a cellular-automatonbased Monte-Carlo model) of in vitro capillary development, or angiogenesis. Our model derives from a recent cont...

A Hybrid Discrete-Continuum Model for 3-D Skeletogenesis of the Vertebrate Limb
We present a dynamic, three-dimensional, composite model framework for vertebrate development. Our integrated model combines submodels that address length-scales from subcellular t...

Dialogization and Implicit Information in an Agent Communicational Model
In this paper we propose a computational model for human-agent and agent-agent conversation. This model has two fundamental characteristics: (1) it takes into account the implicit ...
