K. Bennett, P. Layzell, D. Budgen, P. Brereton, L. Macaulay, Malcolm Munro
Computer Science
Proceedings Seventh Asia-Pacific Software…
5 December 2000

This paper presents a collaborative research method which, over a period of three years has given rise to a radical and innovative vision for future software. Expand

Fitness Landscapes and Evolvability

T. Smith, P. Husbands, P. Layzell, M. O’Shea
Computer Science, Medicine
Evolutionary Computation
1 March 2002

In this paper, we develop techniques based on evolvability statistics of the fitness land-scape surrounding sampled solutions. Expand

Explorations in design space: unconventional electronics design through artificial evolution

A. Thompson, P. Layzell, R. Zebulum
Computer Science
IEEE Trans. Evol. Comput.
1 September 1999

Three hypotheses are formulated. First, in the "design space" of possible electronic circuits, conventional design methods work within constrained regions, never considering most of the whole.… Expand

Organisational considerations for software reuse

Andy Lynex, P. Layzell
Computer Science, Engineering
Ann. Softw. Eng.
11 January 1998

This paper looks at organisational and management issues raised by the introduction of software reuse to the development process. Expand

Analysis of unconventional evolved electronics

A. Thompson, P. Layzell
Computer Science
CACM
1 April 1999

71 I n recent years, several research groups have demonstrated the potential for artificial evolution to design electronic circuits automatically. An " evolutionary algorithm " is implemented,… Expand

Dynamic data integration using Web services

F. Zhu, Mark Turner, +8 authors J. Xu
Computer Science
Proceedings. IEEE International Conference on Web…
2004

We address the problem of large-scale data integration, where the data sources are unknown at design time, are from autonomous organisations, and may evolve. Expand

A New Research Tool for Intrinsic Hardware Evolution

P. Layzell
Computer Science
ICES
23 September 1998

The study of intrinsic hardware evolution relies heavily on commercial FPGA devices which can be configured in real time to produce physical electronic circuits. Expand

Spatial measures of software complexity

C. Douce, P. Layzell, J. Buckley
Computer Science
PPIG
1999

This paper introduces a set of simple software complexity metrics that has been inspired by developments within cognitive psychology. Expand

Reducing hardware evolution's dependency on FPGAs

P. Layzell
Engineering
Proceedings of the Seventh International…
7 April 1999

This paper explores various alternative forms of evolvable media and re-addresses circumstances for which extrinsic hardware evolution may not be appropriate. Expand

Understanding Inherent Qualities of Evolved Circuits: Evolutionary History as a Predictor of Fault Tolerance

P. Layzell, A. Thompson
Engineering, Computer Science
ICES
17 April 2000

The paper seeks to determine the underlying mechanisms that produce one possible inherent quality, 'Populational Fault Tolerance', by using various strategies including the observation of constituent components used throughout evolutionary history. Expand
