Control states and complete agent architectures (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2001). Control states and complete agent architectures. Computational Intelligence, 17(4), 621-650. https://doi.org/10.1111/0824-7935.00167

This paper presents a developing concept of mind defined in terms of external and internal niches. This perspective on mind is described primarily in terms of the niche space of control states and the design space of processes that may support such p...

Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance (2001)
Journal Article
Wallace, E. J., Buzza, D. M., & Read, D. J. (2001). Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance. Macromolecules, 34(20), 7140-7146. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0104130

A lattice Monte Carlo scheme for simulating dendrimers that is widely referenced in the literature is that of Mansfield and Klushin (Macromolecules 1993, 26, 4262). However, we show that this scheme does not obey a detailed balance and propose a modi... Read More about Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance.
