In this paper we will present the EMIL project, “EMergence In the Loop: Simulating the two-way dynamics of norm innovation”, a three-year project funded by the European Commission (Sixth Framework Programme -Information Society and Technologies) in the framework of the initiative “Simulating Emergent Properties in Complex Systems”. The EMIL project intends to contribute to the study of social c...

This paper discusses decision making of project funding allocation under uncertain project costs. Because project costs are uncertain and funding allocations may not necessarily match the costs required, each project is inherently subject to a cost overrun risk (COR). In this paper, a model is proposed in which project cost is treated as a factor with a probability density function. The decisio...

This paper presents the outcomes of an EU project (‘Measurement of Naturalness’, or MONAT), which aimed to develop a measurement system to predict the perception of naturalness for a range of materials, based on an understanding of the relationship between the physical attributes of the material and the human perceptual responses. The project included the establishment of novel measurement inst...
