CoSMoS is building capacity in generic modelling and simulation tools and techniques for complex systems. Full details of the project are in the project summary. Collaborating on this project are the Universities of York and Kent with further assistance from the University of Abertay Dundee and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. CoSMoS is funded by EPSRC and with additional support from Microsoft Research. We have extended the submission deadline for the 2012 workshop by 1 week to 20th May. Please check the workshop page for more detail on participating in the workshop. We are pleased to announce that the 5th CoSMoS workshop will take place as a satellite workshop of the Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCUN) at the University of Orléans, France between 3-7 September 2012. We will be inviting submissions that explore all aspects of complex systems modelling and simulation with a special focus on the theme of this year’s workshop regarding how complex systems simulations can be used to simulate unconventional computation and natural computation. Please check the workshop page for more detail on participating in the workshop. We are pleased to announce the programme for the 4th CoSMoS workshop is now available. The workshop will be taking place in Paris on 8th August 2011 as satellite workshop of ECAL 2011. Sometimes it is called upon us robot types to demonstrate our cool research to people outside the university. For just such an occasion I wrote a little program, inspired by firefly behaviour, which makes the robots flash and synchronise their flashes with other robots. The algorithm that the robots run to achieve synchronised flashing is an implementation of some work done in IRIDIA at the Université libre de Bruxelles [1]. I even made a YouTube video explaining the firefly code and swarm robotics in general! : In the interests of open science, I’ve made the source code for my demonstration available on github, at the following address https://github.com/jennyhasahat/Firefly-epuck [1] Anders Lyhne Christensen, Rehan O’Grady, and Marco Dorigo. 2009. From fireflies to fault-tolerant swarms of robots. Trans. Evol. Comp 13(4) (August 2009), [...] If you are planning to contribute to our 2011 workshop, you now have a bit longer to finish your submission! Deadline for submission has been extended until April 13, please see our 2011 workshop page for more details. |
