A propos the Puppeteer – Jean Vigo and the Cinema of Automata

open access: yesMise au Point, 2018
This essay focuses on two central elements of the cinema of Jean Vigo that have received little attention to date: Vigo’s use of puppets, manikins, and automata as a central part in his mise-en-scène, and Vigo’s status as a transitional film maker ...

Configurable cellular automata for pseudorandom number generation

open access: yes, 2005
This paper proposes a generalized structure of cellular automata (CA) – the configurable cellular automata (CoCA). With selected properties from programmable CA (PCA) and controllable CA (CCA), a new approach to cellular automata is developed.

Efficient Detection of Zeno Runs in Timed Automata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Zeno runs, where infinitely many actions occur in finite time, may inadvertently arise in timed automata specifications. Zeno runs may compromise the reliability of formal verification, and few model-checkers provide the means to deal with them: this ...

Instrumental Jawārī

open access: yesAl-'Usur al-Wusta, 2023
Female domestic slaves designated as jawārī (sing. jāriya) featured in a range of medieval Arabic sources, including treatises on the mechanical arts. They appeared, for example, as liquid-serving devices and timekeepers. Scholarship on automated jawārī,

Fungi as Turing automata with oracles

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
In the article, we aim to understand the responses of living organisms, exemplified by mycelium, to external stimuli through the lens of a Turing machine with an oracle (oTM).

Repeat after me: the automatic labours of love

open access: yesJournal of Aesthetics & Culture, 2018
Modern romantic love is contemplated in association with industrial forms of production and labour. Attention is paid to the ways in which women are industrialisation’s automatic operatives par excellence, as well as the subjects and objects of love.

The Mechanism

open access: yesScreenworks, 2022
In The Mechanism, we follow Josefine Baark’s research journey as she seeks to unveil the global networks, games and friendships that resulted in a mechanical tableaux made in China in the 1730s and then brought to Denmark.

Discrete Timed Automata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
MONA implements an efficient decision procedure for the logic WS1S, and has already been applied in many non-trivial problems. Among these, we follow on from previous work done by Smith and Klarlund on the verification of a sliding-window protocol.
