In this paper we promote the idea of automatic task-based document organisation. To make this possible we present a simplified task model and evaluate a number of algorithms for detecting which documents are associated with particular tasks. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach, but work must be done to improve the performance for practical implementation.

The brain of mammals are divided into different cortical areas that are anatomically connected forming larger networks which perform cognitive tasks. The cat cerebral cortex is composed of 65 areas organised into the visual, auditory, somatosensory-motor and frontolimbic cognitive regions. We have built a network of networks, in which networks are connected among themselves according to the con...

Experimental evidence for self-organised criticality (SOC) in nonconservative systems has recently been found in studies of rat cortical slices. The size distribution of observed neuronal avalanches has been attested to obey 3/2 powerlaw scaling. A mean-field sandpile model of a noisy neuronal system is proposed to refute the irreconcilability between non-conservation and criticality put forwar...

This paper, based on discourse analysis of policy documents, departs from a critique of the juxtaposition of the terms “serious” and “organised” in policies against organised crime in the UK. The conceptualisation of organised crime as national security threat supports our hypothesis that a similar critique can be applied to the emerging narrative of cyber-organised crime in the country. We arg...

Coordination of agent teams depends on the scale of the team. Teams comprising hundreds of agents tend to perform better with local computation and interactions (i.e. swarm intelligence, evolutionary computing, etc.) Teams comprising tens of agents tend to perform better with more sophisticated agents (e.g. BDI agents) with complex reasoning abilities. In the long term, our objective is to achi...

Community mesh networks have emerged rapidly in every metropolis around the world, however many of the security methods applied are counter-intuitive and usually disrupt the autonomous characteristics of the mesh nodes. In SOMA we present a structured Peerto-Peer solution providing authentication service based on a scalable, self-organized and fully distributed Web-of-Trust. Our proposal is a h...
