An Improved Slime Mold Algorithm and its Application for Optimal Operation of Cascade Hydropower Stations

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
A recently modern stochastic optimization algorithm has been developed by observing the life of slime mold physarum polycephalum in nature. The algorithm is called the slime mold algorithm (SMA) with an excellent exploratory capacity and exploitation ...

Enactive Pragmatism and Ecological Psychology

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
A widely cited roadblock to bridging ecological psychology and enactivism is that the former identifies with realism and the latter identifies with constructivism, which critics charge is subjectivist.

A Cellular Automata Bioinspired Algorithm Designing Data Trees in Wireless Sensor Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2015
Several studies present methods to economize energy in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is one of the most confining resources in these systems. This paper presents a bioinspired, cellular automata (CA) based model for constructing data trees that ...

Logical Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum

open access: yesCoRR, 2011
We propose a novel model of unconventional computing where a structural part of computation is presented by dynamics of plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large single cell. We sketch a new logical approach combining conventional logic with process calculus to demonstrate how to employ formal methods in design of unconventional computing media ...
