Simulated annealing for weighted polygon packing
Yi-Chun Xu, Ren-Bin Xiao, Martyn Amos
In this paper we present a new algorithm for a layout optimization problem: this concerns the placement of weighted polygons inside a circular container, the two objectives being t…
Swarm-Based Spatial Sorting
Martyn Amos, Oliver Don
Purpose: To present an algorithm for spatially sorting objects into an annular structure. Design/Methodology/Approach: A swarm-based model that requires only stochastic agent behav…
Prediction and Mitigation of Crush Conditions in Emergency Evacuations
Peter J. Harding, Martyn Amos, Steve Gwynne
Several simulation environments exist for the simulation of large-scale evacuations of buildings, ships, or other enclosed spaces. These offer sophisticated tools for the study of…
DNA Hash Pooling and its Applications
Dennis Shasha, Martyn Amos
In this paper we describe a new technique for the comparison of populations of DNA strands. Comparison is vital to the study of ecological systems, at both the micro and macro scal…
Effect of door delay on aircraft evacuation time
Martyn Amos, Andrew Wood
The recent commercial launch of twin-deck Very Large Transport Aircraft (VLTA) such as the Airbus A380 has raised questions concerning the speed at which they may be evacuated. The…
An ant-based algorithm for annular sorting
Oliver Don, Martyn Amos
In this paper we describe a minimal model for annular sorting by Leptothorax ants. Simulation results are consistent with the structures observed in actual ant colonies.
