MoSeS (Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science) is a research node of the National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS). MoSeS uses e-Science techniques to execute an eventsdriven model which simulates discrete demographic processes; this allows us to project the UK population 25 years into the future. This paper describes the architecture, simulation methodology, and latest results obtain...

This paper introduces Attentive Robots: robots that attend to the parts of their sensory input that are currently of most potential interest. The concept of selecting the most promising parts is adopted from human perception where selective attention allocates the brain resources to the most interesting parts of the sensory input. We give an overview of current approaches to integrate computati...
