We summarise the existing CoSMoS approach to modelling and simulating complex systems, then introduce how the various CoSMoS models are related via their metamodel, and demonstrate the generality of the process by discussing its application to engineering bio-inspired systems.

Biologicals are distinct from small molecule drugs in that they are larger, more structurally complex agents. While the overall risk is modest, the active protein structure characteristic of biologicals makes them more prone to induce an acute and/or chronic immune response. Biosimilars are a new class of drugs intended to offer comparable safety and efficacy to the reference, offpatent biologi...

We aim at finding all the mobile elements in a genome and understanding their dynamic behavior. Comparative genomics of closely related organisms can provide the data for this kind of investigation. The comparison task requires a huge amount of computational resources, which in our approach we alleviate by exploiting the high similarity between homologous chromosomes of different strains of the...

This paper proposes a novel approach based on the training of the Neural Network method with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-NN) for identification of a hydraulic servo robot. The robot is considered to have two degrees of freedom; one is rotational and the other is translational. A feed forward NN is designed for the problem and the weights of the network are trained using Particle Swarm Opti...

SPARROW is a stochastic local search (SLS) solver for SAT formulae in CNF format [2]. It was named after the mascot of the German city of Ulm. SPARROW2011 is a variant of SPARROW that was developed for the 2011 SAT competition. The core SPARROW2011 algorithm is identical to SPARROW; it has been re-implemented in UBCSAT [9] and a mechanism has been added to automatically select optimized paramet...

We participated in the ImageCLEF 2011 Photo Annotation and Wikipedia Image Retrieval Tasks. Our approach to the ImageCLEF 2011 Photo Annotation is based on a kernel weighting procedure using visual Fisher kernels and a Flickr-tag based JensenShannon divergence based kernel. We trained a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to define a generative model over the feature vectors extracted from the image p...

 The concept of statistical convergence in $2$-normed spaces for double sequence was introduced in [S. Sarabadan and S. Talebi, {it Statistical convergence of double sequences  in $2$-normed spaces }, Int. J. Contemp. Math. Sci. 6 (2011) 373--380]. In the first, we introduce concept strongly statistical convergence in $2$-normed spaces and generalize some results. Moreover,  we define the conce...
