Robot Dream paradigm for Anthropomorphic Social Agent

We discuss the possibilities of integration of the Robot Dream paradigm with Anthropomorphic Social Agent (ASA).ASA is essentially a user interface specifically designed for simulating the realistic human-to-human interaction.

The implementation of growth guidance factor diffusion via octree spatial structures for neuronal systems simulation

The BioDynaMo project was created in CERN and aims to become a general platform for computer simulations for biological research. Important development stage was the code modernization by changing the architecture in a way to utilize multiple levels of parallelism offered by today?s hardware.

In this work we present a novel post-processing effect that can be applicable for both edge detection visualization and for emulation of ambient shading. Unlike different classic shaders suitable for these tasks, our effect has single shader code and does both the effects simultaneously: with a cert
