The success or failure of the street network depends on its reliability. In this article, using resilience analysis, the author studies how the shape and appearance of street networks in self-organised and top-down planned cities influences urban transport. Considering London and Beijing as proxies for self-organised and top-down planned cities, the structural properties of London and Beijing n...

This paper studies the adaptation of growing self-organised neural networks for 3D object surface reconstruction. Nowadays, input devices and filtering techniques obtain 3D point positions from the object surface without connectivity information. Growing self-organised networks can obtain the implicit surface mesh by means of a clustering process over the input data space maintaining at the sam...

Living systems are organised in space. This imposes constraints on both their structural form and, consequently, their dynamics. While artificial life research has demonstrated that embedding an adaptive system in space tends to have a significant impact on its behaviour, we do not yet have a full account of the relevance of spatiality to living self-organisation. Here, we extend the REDS model...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) arebecoming increasingly popular, and very useful in militaryapplications and environmental monitoring. However,security is a major challenge for WSNs because they areusually setup in unprotected environments. Our goal in thisstudy is to simulate an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)that monitors the WSN and report intrusions accurately andeffectively. We have thus...

This paper gives an introduction to a key tool that can help provide various self organised solutions in wireless cellular networks. We begin by describing the need for self organised networks and the challenges associated with it. An introduction to cellular automata theory is then given with an easy to follow example. We provide an analysis of such solutions and discuss its stability and conv...

Even when we are at rest, our spinal cords show spontaneous, yet well organised, fluctuations of activity that might reflect sensory and motor networks.

This paper introduces a framework for designing self-organising wireless sensor networks for assisted living. The topology of these networks is studied and definition of self-organisation is given. Here, we propose paradigms and explain “local” and “global” network properties. In conclusion, the self-organised network function for the wireless health-care networks is designed. Simulation result...
