Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

A Many-Objective Memetic Generalized Differential Evolution Algorithm for DNA Sequence Design
Designing reliable sequences of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a critical task in the fields of DNA computing, and nanotechnology. The quality and reliability of the DNA sequence can directly affect the accuracy of the processing of information stored in

A Multi-Objective Approach for the Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulation Models
The calibration of traffic-flow simulation models continues to be a significant problem without a generalized, comprehensive, and low-cost solution. Existing calibration approaches either have not explicitly addressed the multi-objective characteristics ...

SPMS-ALS: A Single-Point Memetic structure with accelerated local search for instance reduction
Real-world optimisation problems pose domain specific challenges that often require an ad-hoc algorithmic design to be efficiently addressed. The present paper investigates the optimisation of a key stage in data mining, known as instance reduction ...
