Order by disordered action in swarms. Proof that swarms, converge to fixed points basically whenever synchronous or sequential convergence occurs; convergence in cases when synchronous and/or sequential updating does not. Cellular Automata methods for financial market models. Bubble formation and burst models. Development of translation from English into Sign Language by 3D-computer animation with application to teaching of mathematics. KUI (Keyboard User Interface) method of hand gesture and facial expression control in 3D simulations.
