simulated protein computing Wouldn't it be cool if... "fetch, execute; fetch, execute; fetch, execute", an innately serial model bound to a single CPU, could be replaced with a model of computation that provides innately massive parallelism and native support for distribution? Enter simulated protein computing. Sure, it comes at the cost of determinism, but what fun!	Breaking the Box: Simulated Protein Computing (BIONETICS 2010, forthcoming) Simulating Protein Computing: Character Recognition via Probabilistic Transition Trees (IEEE Granular Computing 2006)
complex adaptive systems for social modeling Wouldn't it be cool if... competing social theories could be modeled using a generic agent substrate so that their performance could be contrasted? This is one of the things we set out to accomplish for DARPA in the Summer of 2007.	A Computer Simulation Laboratory for Social Theories Accepted for publication at the 2008 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology.
complex adaptive systems for attribute relevance Wouldn't it be cool if... instead of one expert with perfect knowledge, you loose 100 experts with incomplete knowledge to estimate the relevance of attributes in a data set? I don't know, but it was a fine excuse for the following half-baked video presentation.	Complex Adaptive Systems: Using a FreeMarket Simulation to Estimate Attribute Relevance In Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium of Intelligent Systems (ISMIS) 2006. Investigating Agent Strategies within a Complex Adapative System of Purchasing Agents for Estimating Attribute Relevance In Proceedings of the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WIIAT 2006 Workshops).
North Carolina Comprehensive Assessment for Tracking Community Health Wouldn't it be cool if... county health departments could have web-based OLAP access to the sentinel data that define their community health status? Dr. Jim Studnicki and Dr. John Fisher thought so. The Software Solutions Lab is a technical partner in this effort.
