On Self Organising Cyberdynamic Policy
… in the teams of players behaving in a self-organising manner. Accordingly, in spatially varying player location, one has a single metric that characterises player, hence team function, and ultimately whole team policy as the policy of a viable system, that is amenable to analysis. A key …

Self-organising transparent learning system
… on both the unsupervised and supervised self-organising transparent machine learning techniques. One particularly interesting aspect is the transparent self-organising deep learning systems. Traditional data analysis approaches and most of the machine learning algorithms are built upon the …

Self-organising agent communities for autonomic computing
… study of complex natural systems and their self-organising properties as an area of research that may deliver novel control solutions within the context of autonomic computing.<br/><br/>In such a setting, a central challenge for the construction of distributed computational systems was to develop …

Shared values as organising principles in complexity
… of organisational values as an apt candidate for organising principles to manage and adapt effectively in complexity. A starting interest of this research was the reflection that a strong set of shared values has the potential to enables a range of positive outcomes, particularly in complexity, …

Organising a photograph collection based on human appearance
This thesis describes a complete framework for organising digital photographs in an unsupervised manner, based on the appearance of people captured in the photographs. Organising a collection of photographs manually, especially providing the identities of people captured in photographs, is a time …

Self-organising locally interpolating maps in control engineering
… controller model is implemented with the Self-Organising Locally Interpolating Map (SOLIM). SOLIM includes a new method that continuously and interpretably maps from a grid of input support vectors, e.g. a robot's velocity, to a grid of output support vectors, e.g. corresponding control …

University in Society: Organising for Engagement in Ireland
… I look at the implications of replicating the organising practices utilized in the creation of the model of civic engagement at Occidental College in Los Angeles at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM). I do this through a case study of NUIM and its role in enhancing democracy in …

Towards improved simulations of self-organising molecular materials
… a grand challenge for simulations of self-organising molecular materials. In the work presented in this thesis, the aim has been to develop and apply new or recent simulation models and methods to address these issues, with the aim of producing improved simulations of molecular materials. A …

Characterisation of the plasmodium falciparum HSP70-HSP90 organising protein
… are brought into close proximity by Hsp70-Hsp90 organising protein (Hop), allowing Hsp70 to pass partially folded substrates such as kinases to Hsp90 for further folding. Although a Hop homologue in P. falciparum (PfHop; PF3D7_1434300) is represented on the parasite genome, it is yet to be …

Organising science policy : participation, learning & experimentation in British democracy
The incorporation of public participation into science policy processes has been an important feature of policy practice and the academic literature for more than two decades, yet it has failed to realise its democratising potential or to engender broader changes in organisational and political …

British activists, homeworker rights, and transnational organising, 1994-2004
… government-funded international mapping and organising programme undertaken by the Leeds-based group Homeworkers Worldwide in the early 2000s; and, finally, the growth of white-collar homework, known as ‘telework.’ Rooted in extensive archival research and supplemented by new oral histories, …

An Efficient Multidimensional k-Anonymisation Strategy Using Self-Organising Maps
… mining processes. The framework encompasses Self-Organising Maps for data transformation, two prominent clustering-based k-anonymisation algorithms to guarantee a certain degree of privacy, selective privacy and data quality metrics to validate our methods, and classification tasks to study the …

Organising and structuring a visual diary using visual interest point detectors
As wearable cameras become more popular, researchers are increasingly focusing on novel applications to manage the large volume of data these devices produce. One such application is the construction of a Visual Diary from an individual’s photographs. Microsoft’s SenseCam, a device designed to …

Self-organising an indoor location system using a paintable amorphous computer
This thesis investigates new methods for self-organising a precisely defined pattern of intertwined number sequences which may be used in the rapid deployment of a passive indoor positioning system's infrastructure.<br/>A future hypothetical scenario is used where computing particles are suspended …

Modelling and tracking objects with a topology preserving self-organising neural network
Human gestures form an integral part in our everyday communication. We use gestures not only to reinforce meaning, but also to describe the shape of objects, to play games, and to communicate in noisy environments. Vision systems that exploit gestures are often limited by inaccuracies inherent in …

Organising and sustaining hegemony: A Gramscian perspective on Suharto’s New Order Indonesia
The Suharto New Order was born out of ethnic conflict around religious, ideological and regional/cultural issues that were threatening national chaos. As a pre-requisite to pursuing the socio-political and economic developmental agendas deemed necessary to legitimize their hold on power, the new …
