How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 1: Old English to the Age of Discovery

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.

For example, people can be guided by mobile robots from dangerous places or swimming robots may help to clean up oil spills. This thesis uses a multiagent system to model the robots and sheep. We analyze the complexity of the shepherding
