Dr Barry's research interests are primarily in the area of Machine
Learning, particularly implemented by Evolutionary Computation. He
is also interested in Biologically-inspired computing, and is
looking at predatory behaviours in higher mammals to identify new
ways of controlling behaviours in cooperative agents.

1. Visualisation of Rule Population Dynamics in a java-based
machine learning system

2. Implementation of a continuous "zoomable" environment within
RePast for large environment spaces, and proof-of-concept by
moving existing "Wolf" code to the new environment. The RasterSpace
class _may_ provide the dynamics desired, but may only be the
basis of a new class.

3. Simulation of Coat Patterns (c.f. A.Bowyer in Mech Eng)

4. Implementation in SWT of a GUI for a Java machine learning
algorithm running on the GNU Java compiler.

5. Implementation of Lion predation on the Player/Stage robot
simulator

6. Investigation and simulation of predatory behaviour of Tuna

7. Investigation of animal search techniques for predators
operating over large areas of land / sea
