Abstract Robert Rosen's (M, R) system is an abstract biological network architecture that is
allegedly both irreducible to sub-models of its component states and non-computable on a …

The aim of this paper is to prove the suitability of a parallel distributed computational model,
communicating X-machines, to simulate in a natural way a well established model of …

The aim of the Epitheliome Project is to develop a computational model of cell behaviour
within the context of tissue architecture, differentiation, wound repair and malignancy …

Social insect colonies present an interesting problem for formal modelling due to their
outstanding characteristics, such as self-organisation and emergence. In this paper, we …

Although object-oriented programming promotes reusable and well factored entity
decomposition, industrial software often shows traces of lack of object-oriented design and …

In recent years the concept of emergence has gained much attention as computer systems
have started exhibiting properties usually associated with complex systems. Although …

The demand for more complex software is constantly increasing while at the same time the
need for reliability leads modern software engineering to use more formally based …

Some of the fundamental capabilities required by autonomous vehicles and systems for their
intelligent decision making are: modelling of the environment and forming data abstractions …

Normal structure and function in epithelial tissues is an emergent property of the interaction
of the cells which comprise the tissue, so a cell-centred approach to the modelling of tissue …

This thesis studies the use of agent-based modelling to investigate factors that can affect the
stability of an electronic trading venue. Automated trading strategies have contributed to …
