A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution (2005)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2005). A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution. In 2005 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, vols 1-3, proceedings (565 -572)

We present the results of our replication of Karl Sims' work on the evolution of artificial creatures in a physically realistic 3D environment. We used standard McCulloch-Pitts neurons instead of a more complex set of ad hoc neurons, which we believe... Read More about A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution.

This chapter examines whether it has become easier or more difficult for political parties to participate in elections. It does this by comparing the electoral systems and the wider electoral laws (including those governing ballot access, media acces... Read More about Changing Party Access to Elections.

Improving and still passing the ALife test: Component-normalised activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded (2003)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2003). Improving and still passing the ALife test: Component-normalised activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded. In Artificial Life VIII: proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Artificial Life (173 -181)

Bedau, Snyder & Packard’s (1998) classification system for long-term evolutionary dynamics provides a test for openended evolution. Making this ALife test more rigorous, and passing it, are two of the most important open problems in the field. Previo...

In Ground Penetrating Radar in Sediments (225 - 246). (Volume 211). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/GSL.SP.2001.211.01.19

Vertical radar profiling (VRP) is an application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) technologies that can extract important subsurface information from suitable outcrops. Using standard GPR equipment, a site-specific time-depth calibration can be obta... Read More about The use of vertical radar profiling (VRP) in GPR survey of ancient sedimentary strata.

This chapter is based on eighteen in-depth interviews with people who purchased one or more items from the At Home With Art (AHWA) range in Homebase. It takes up Painter’s idea of ‘contagion’ as he deploys it in the catalogue to the AHWA exhibition a... Read More about What happened at home with art: Tracing the experience of consumers.

Book Chapter
Channon. (2001). Passing the ALife test: activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded. In Advances in Artificial Life (417 - 426)

Bedau and Packard’s evolutionary activity statistics [1, 2] are used to classify the evolutionary dynamics in Geb [3, 4], a system designed to verify and extend theories behind the generation of evolutionary emergent systems. The result is that, acco... Read More about Passing the ALife test: activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded.

The green movement has posed some tough questions for traditional justifications of democracy. Should the natural world have rights? Can we take account of the interests of future generations? But questions have also been asked of the greens. Could t... Read More about GREEN PARTIES, NONVIOLENCE AND POLITICAL OBLIGATION.

Nonlinear Stability Analysis of a Pre-stressed Elastic Half-space (1996)
Book Chapter
(1996). Nonlinear Stability Analysis of a Pre-stressed Elastic Half-space. In Contemporary research in the mechanics and mathematics of materials (164 -175)

In this paper the nonlinear evolution of near-neutral modes in a pre-stressed elastic half-space governed by an infinite system of evolution equations is discussed. The theory is illustrated for the case in which the pre-stress is a uniaxial compress... Read More about Nonlinear Stability Analysis of a Pre-stressed Elastic Half-space.
