Evolutionary simulation modelling clarifies interactions between parallel adaptive processes

Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

Agent-based modelling of pedestrian movements: the questions that need to be asked and answered

Vulnerable road users have steadily attracted increased importance in transport and planning. The behaviour of pedestrian movements (especially in the areas off but adjacent to roads) requires improved tools to address the issues now being raised. Such behaviour and interactions can now be modelled by using a combination of massively parallel processes simulating individual pedestrians, and a s...

A MODEL FOR EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF WORDS IN A LANGUAGE

Human language, over its evolutionary history, has emerged as one of the fundamental defining characteristic of the modern man. However, this milestone evolutionary process through natural selection has not left any ’linguistic fossils’ that may enable us to trace back the actual course of development of language and its establishment in human societies. Lacking analytical tools to fathom the cr...

Modelling the Combined Socio-technical System to Support an Adaptive Approach for Integrated Water Resources Management

Water systems evolve through time, changing constantly due to physical pressures or as a result of how we manage them. Changing socio-economic conditions drastically increase the uncertainty associated with such changes, particularly with regards to the outcome of water resources management decisions. There is an increasing need for such uncertainties to be recognised and addressed by more adap...

Optimizing the coupling in parallel air quality model systems

Today, parallel computers facilitate complex simulations of physical and chemical processes. To obtain more accurate results and to include multiple aspects of environmental processes, model codes of different scientific areas are coupled. An often used coupling strategy is to run the individual codes concurrently on disjoint sets of processors, as this keeps the codes mostly independent. Howev...
