Self-adapting agent organisations
Autonomic systems, capable of self-management, are being advocated as a solution to the problem of maintaining modern, large, complex computing systems. Given this, we believe self-organising multi-agent systems provide a convenient paradigm to develop these autonomic systems because such …

Adapting to Rising Sea Levels
<p>According to IPCC estimates, sea levels will rise between .18 and .6 meters by 2100. More recent estimates indicate that actual amounts of sea level rise may be much more, and that 1 meter of sea level rise by 2100 is likely a conservative estimate. These rising sea levels will result not only …

Self-adapting simulated artificial societies
Agent-Based Models (ABM) are computational models that utilize autonomous agents to interact and adapt to the environments in which they occupy. They are used in fields ranging from Economics to Ecology. More recently, ABM are being used in Computational Archaeology to aid in explaining the complex …

Adapting and improving a shallow parser
IceNLP is a set of tools for processing and analysing the Icelandic language. One of these tools is IceParser, a shallow parser, whose purpose is to annotate flat phrase structure and syntactic functions. The input to IceParser are tokenised sentences, tagged with part-of-speech (POS) tags from the …
