Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Digital Artefact
Ring, N. (2023). Midwives and Healers. [Podcast]

The witch has held a place firmly in our imagination for centuries – from whispered warnings in folklore to pop-culture driven heights. But what does it mean to be a witch now? Presenter India Rakusen, creator of the podcast 28ish Days Later, is o... Read More about Midwives and Healers.

Digital Twin Enriched Green Topology Discovery for Next Generation Core Networks (2023)
Journal Article
Duran, K., & Canberk, B. (in press). Digital Twin Enriched Green Topology Discovery for Next Generation Core Networks. IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking, https://doi.org/10.1109/tgcn.2023.3282326

Topology discovery is the key function of core network management since it utilizes the perception of data and mapping network devices. Nevertheless, it holds operational and resource efficiency complexities. For example, traditional discovery cannot...
