The edge bending wave on a plate reinforced by a beam (L). (2019)
Journal Article
Kaplunov. (2019). The edge bending wave on a plate reinforced by a beam (L). Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1061 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.5121315

The edge bending wave on a thin isotropic semi-infinite plate reinforced by a beam is considered within the framework of the classical plate and beam theories. The boundary conditions at the plate edge incorporate both dynamic bending and twisting of... Read More about The edge bending wave on a plate reinforced by a beam (L)..

Meta-analysis for families of experiments in software engineering: a systematic review and reproducibility and validity assessment (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Meta-analysis for families of experiments in software engineering: a systematic review and reproducibility and validity assessment. Empirical Software Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-019-09747-0

Context
Previous studies have raised concerns about the analysis and meta-analysis of crossover experiments and we were aware of several families of experiments that used crossover designs and meta-analysis.

Objective
To identify families of exp... Read More about Meta-analysis for families of experiments in software engineering: a systematic review and reproducibility and validity assessment.

An asymptotic hyperbolic-elliptic model for flexural-seismic metasurfaces. (2019)
Journal Article
Wootton, P., Kaplunov, J., & Colquitt, D. (2019). An asymptotic hyperbolic-elliptic model for flexural-seismic metasurfaces. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 475(2227), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2019.0079

We consider a periodic array of resonators, formed from Euler-Bernoulli beams, attached to the surface of an elastic half-space. Earlier studies of such systems have concentrated on compressional resonators. In this paper, we consider the effect of t...

Scalability Analysis Comparisons of Cloud-based Software Services (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Said Ahmad, A., & Andras, P. (in press). Scalability Analysis Comparisons of Cloud-based Software Services. Journal of Cloud Computing: Advances, Systems and Applications, 8, Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13677-019-0134-y

Performance and scalability testing and measurements of cloud-based software services are necessary for future optimizations and growth of cloud computing. Scalability, elasticity, and efficiency are interrelated aspects of cloud-based software servi... Read More about Scalability Analysis Comparisons of Cloud-based Software Services.

Environmental Harshness and Fitness Improving Innovations (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Environmental Harshness and Fitness Improving Innovations. Artificial Life, 300-307. https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00179

Fitness improving innovations occur in populations of organisms as genetic changes (mutations) that allow better fit with the environmental niche of the organisms. Similarly, fitness improving innovations may occur in the context of human communities... Read More about Environmental Harshness and Fitness Improving Innovations.

Neuroevolution of Humanoids that Walk Further and Faster with Robust Gaits (2019)
Journal Article
Channon. (2019). Neuroevolution of Humanoids that Walk Further and Faster with Robust Gaits. Artificial Life, 543 - 550. https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00219

Bipedal locomotion requires precise rhythm and balance. Here we demonstrate two fitness-function enhancements applied to OpenAI?s 3D Humanoid-v1 walking task using a replica of Salimans et al.?s evolution strategy (Salimans et al., 2017). The first e...

The Limits of Lexicase Selection in an Evolutionary Robotics Task (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). The Limits of Lexicase Selection in an Evolutionary Robotics Task. https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00220

Agents exhibiting generalized control are capable of solving a theme of related tasks, rather than a specific instance. Here, generalized control pertains to the locomotive capacity of quadrupedal animats, evaluated when climbing over walls of varyin...

Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models. https://doi.org/10.5381/jot.2019.18.2.aN

Comparison of large models can be time-consuming since every element has to be visited, matched, and compared with its respective element in other models. This can result in bottlenecks in collaborative modelling environments, where identifying diffe... Read More about Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models.
