Real-time monitoring of privacy abuses and intrusion detection in android system (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, S., Chen, J., Spyridopoulos, T., Andriotis, P., Ludwiniak, R., & Russell, G. (2015, August). Real-time monitoring of privacy abuses and intrusion detection in android system. Presented at International Conference on Human Aspects of Information Security, Privacy, and Trust, Los Angeles, CA, USA

In this paper, we investigated the definition of privacy, privacy abuse behaviours, and the privacy abuse in Android systems, which may be very useful for identifying the malicious apps from 'normal' apps. We also investigated the injection technolog... Read More about Real-time monitoring of privacy abuses and intrusion detection in android system.

Teaching penetration and malware analysis in a cloud-based environment. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Ramsay, B., Macfarlane, R., Smales, A., & Russell, G. (2015, June). Teaching penetration and malware analysis in a cloud-based environment. Paper presented at UK Workshop on Cybersecurity Training & Education

This paper outlines evaluation of running a private Cloud-based system over two semesters at Edinburgh Napier University for two modules: Security Testing and Advanced Network Forensics (BEng (Hons) level and focused on Penetration testing and Malwar...

Security issues of a publicly accessible cloud computing infrastructure. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Macfarlane, R. (2012, June). Security issues of a publicly accessible cloud computing infrastructure

Edinburgh Napier University runs a custom cloud computing infrastructure for both student and public use. Such access carries dangers, both reputational and legal, as accidental or deliberate acts by users can be dangerous to other systems. This pape...

A forensic image description language for generating test images. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., Macfarlane, R., & Ludwiniak, R. (2012, September). A forensic image description language for generating test images

Digital Forensics is a fast developing job market, as well as being topical and interesting, and as such is an area in which University students are keen to develop and study. At Edinburgh Napier University this topic has been taught with flexible an... Read More about A forensic image description language for generating test images..

Creation of an online virtual Cisco router learning environment. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rietsche, R., Russell, G., & Karduck, A. P. (2011, July). Creation of an online virtual Cisco router learning environment. Presented at Computers and Advanced Technology in Education

Online learning environments are an important aspect to many University courses. They allow flexibility in student approaches, and permit students from a range of backgrounds to take part in education. This paper considers an online learning environm...

Student behaviour in a flexible learning course framework. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2011, July). Student behaviour in a flexible learning course framework

Flexible learning approaches to education are important in modern Universities. Students should be able to choose how they will study their courses, and educators should be prepared to support students in their choices, and guide students to employ s...

Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2005, July). Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism

The automatic checking of online assessments and tutorials offers a significant advantage to students. Such students can work out-of-hours, from home or work, managing their own time allocation. This allows formal practical sessions to concentrate on... Read More about Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism..

Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2004, December). Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. Presented at Cognition and Expolaratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2004), Hotel Altis, Lisbon, Portugal

An online interactive learning environment which offers immediate feedback to student learning SQL was constructed. This has supported the gathering of interesting statistics on student behaviour. Changes to the environment targeted at improving stud... Read More about Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking..

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., Raguenaud, C., McDonald, S. M., & Russell, G. (2004, March). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. Presented at Data Integration in the Life Sciences. First International Workshop, DILS 2004

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...

Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kalganova, T., Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (1999, December). Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm. Presented at 4th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, ICANNGA '99

Optimising traffic signal timings for a multiple-junction road network is a difficult but important problem. The essential difficulty of this problem is that the traffic signals need to coordinate their behaviours to achieve the common goal of optimi...
