Tagxedo - Word Cloud with Styles Computational complexity theory Computational complexity theory is a branch of the theory of computation in theoretical computer science and mathematics that focuses on classifying computational problems according to their inherent difficulty, and relating those classes to each other. A computational problem is understood to be a task that is in principle amenable to being solved by a computer, which is equivalent to stating that the problem may be solved by mechanical application of mathematical steps, such as an algorithm. A problem is regarded as inherently difficult if its solution requires significant resources, whatever the algorithm used. The theory formalizes this intuition, by introducing mathematical models of computation to study these problems and quantifying the amount of resources needed to solve them, such as time and storage. Closely related fields in theoretical computer science are analysis of algorithms and computability theory. Computational problems[edit] Problem instances[edit] Turing machine[edit]

Complexity, Artificial Life and Self-Organising Systems Glossary In this glossary each entry is an hypertext link that takes you to an introduction describing that concept in a wider context. Alternatively, to read all the introductions in sequence start with "Setting The Scene". This is a brief glossary, for a more detailed one see: ISAAC's. Some of the terms included here are specific to the wider CALResCo viewpoint and may not be common in the work of other more specialised groups. Adaptability The ability of an organism to learn in response to changes in its environment over the course of its lifetime. Adaptation The ability of a species to change in response to changes in its environment over many generations. Agents Individuals within an interacting population, each may have only limited freedom to react to their neighbours yet the behaviour of the whole (emergent) may be much more complex. Aggregate ALife Attractor A point to which a system tends to move, a goal, either deliberate or constrained by system parameters (laws). Arms Race Autocatalysis

200 Great Resources This post is #21 in DailyTekk’s famous Top 100 series which explores the best startups, gadgets, apps, websites and services in a given category. Total items listed: 198. Time to compile: 8+ hours. Follow @DailyTekk on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss a week! Well we’re back at it again making another one of our infamous Top 100 Tech lists (many of which have been shared hundreds of thousands of times), except this time we’re aiming our sights at the world of graphic, app and web design (and we’ve doubled the scope to 200 amazing items). What can you expect to find here? This post will probably be most useful to design newbies and students who are just getting to know the ins and outs of the online design community and the full ecosystem that is available to them. Before you get any further, let me explain that yes, this is a curated list meaning it is based purely on my own opinions. Also read: If Creativity is Currency, Are You Broke?

10 Useful Web Apps for Designers DesignWoop welcomes this guest post by Tomas Laurinavicius. Since the iPhone and iPad entered the market you can hear lots of news about apps for these devices. Tons of apps available today and you can find everything you want. But today I would like to share 10 handy web-based apps for designers. To use these apps you don’t need to buy an iPhone or iPad, you can use them without any additional software or device, you just need a web browser. Invoice Bubble Invoice Bubble is free invoice software that lets you create an invoice and send to your client in seconds. Gridulator Tell Gridulator your layout width and the number of columns you want, and it’ll spit back all the possible grids that have nice, round integers. Browize Useful tool for resizing current browser window size to set or custom resolutions. Screenr Screenr is a web-based tool that lets you create screencasts without installing any software. Launchlist Kuler Favigen Easily generate favicon for your website. Fillerati Loads.in
Maze Design We've been working on producing mazes by computer, with input from a human designer. We're interested in two complementary questions with respect to maze design: Complexity: What makes a maze difficult to solve? The more we consider this question, the more elusive it becomes. Gallery We have addressed these two aspects of maze design in separate sub-projects. We then studied maze design as a problem in non-photorealistic rendering. Clicking on the examples below will link you to a very high-res PNG. Papers Other resources Karan Singh has put together an excellent page about maze and labyrinth design, motivated by his NPAR 2006 paper on labyrinths. Mazes can be used to represent images in a couple of different ways. Thank you to Ronald Koster and Claudio Pozas for the use of the source images for the snails and minotaur mazes.

Leader Following steering behavior - Aurora In this demonstration a group of ten vehicles exhibit leader following behavior. Click with your mouse anywhere in the yellow window to toggle between two modes. In one case, they are colored green and all follow the single gray leader. In the other case they are colored cyan and follow one another, forming a "single file" procession, much like a family of ducklings following their mother. A single gray leader vehicle employs an unrelated ad hoc behavior combining seeking randomly selected locations, wandering, and selecting between fast and slow movement. It is oblivious to the other vehicles. The leader following behavior combines separation (a desire to avoid crowding) and arrival (a desire to move towards a point, slowing as it draws near). In this diagram, a vehicle's velocity vector is shown in magenta, and its steering force vector in blue. FromSteering Behaviors for Autonomous Characters
Free All-in-One Graphic Design Starter Kit Graphic design has an amazing community. Comprised of both the vets from the pre-computer era to the newbies who were raised on the internet and computer-editing applications, there is a huge gamut of people sharing their work and expertise online. I know when I was starting out in design, I found tons of inspiration and information from sites like JustCreativeDesign, DesignNewz, and more. But for those designers just starting out, or for those designers who are considering getting into design, the amount of information can be a little overwhelming. This “kit” was originally intended to be a zipped file containing all of the links below; however, it clocked in at about half a gigabyte, which I thought most people wouldn’t want to sit and download (plus it would put a strain on our hosting). All of these items are free, open-source and legal for both me to share & you to download – however, please don’t claim any of them as your own.
