Automated Guidance of Collective Movement in a Multi-Agent Model of Physarum polycephalum
Jeff Jones
Collective movement occurs in living systems where the simple movements of individual members of a pop- ulation are combined to generate movement of the collective as a whole, disp…
Material-based Non-neural Analogues of Lateral Inhibition: A Multi-agent Approach
Jeff Dale Jones
Lateral Inhibition (LI) phenomena occur in a wide range of sensory modalities and are most famously described in the human visual system. In LI the activity of a stimulated neuron…
Exploiting Environmental Computation in a Multi-Agent Model of Slime Mould
Jeff Jones
Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarum polycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and…
Mechanisms Inducing Parallel Computation in a Model of Physarum polycephalum Transport Networks
Jeff Jones
P. polycephalum may be considered as a spatially represented parallel unconventional computing substrate, but how can this `computer' be programmed? In this paper we examine and ca…
Quantitative Transformation for Implementation of Adder Circuits in Physical Systems
Jeff Jones, James G. H. Whiting, Andrew Adamatzky
Computing devices are composed of spatial arrangements of simple funda- mental logic gates. These gates may be combined to form more complex adding circuits and, ultimately, comple…
Representation of Shape Mediated by Environmental Stimuli in Physarum polycephalum and a Multi-agent Model
Jeff Jones, Richard Mayne, Andrew Adamatzky
The slime mould Physarum polycephalum is known to construct proto- plasmic transport networks which approximate proximity graphs by forag- ing for nutrients during its plasmodial l…
