The first law of time travel: The Time Machine and thermodynamics. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alder, E. (2013, April). The first law of time travel: The Time Machine and thermodynamics. Paper presented at British Society for Literature and Science Annual Conference

Critical analyses of H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895) have attended closely to themes of biology, such as evolutionary degeneration, but those of physics have not been treated with comparable depth. While many accounts of The Time Machine do con... Read More about The first law of time travel: The Time Machine and thermodynamics..

Diagnosis of induction machines under non-stationary conditions: Concepts and tools (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riera-Guasp, M., Pons-Llinares, J., Climente-Alarcon, V., Vedreno-Santos, F., Pineda-Sanchez, M., Antonino-Daviu, J., Puche-Panadero, R., Perez-Cruz, J., & Roger-Folch, J. (2013, March). Diagnosis of induction machines under non-stationary conditions: Concepts and tools. Presented at 2013 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)

This paper is focused on fault diagnostic methodologies suited for induction machines which are subjected to fluctuating loads and speeds during their normal duty cycle. In these cases, the load and speed fluctuate continuously, near their rated... Read More about Diagnosis of induction machines under non-stationary conditions: Concepts and tools.

Intelligent control for adaptive video streaming (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Menkovski, V., & Liotta, A. (2013). Intelligent control for adaptive video streaming. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCE.2013.6486825

We present an autonomous learning agent for adaptive video streaming in best effort networks. The agent learns an optimal control strategy in regards to the delivered quality of experience without the need for implementation of a complex heuristics.

Generation of Network Behaviour Descriptions Using MCA Based on TAM (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tan, Z. (2013, March). Generation of Network Behaviour Descriptions Using MCA Based on TAM. Paper presented at Kaspersky Lab's 2013 Annual Student Cyber Security Conference

In this paper, a multivariate correlation analysis technique based on triangle area map is introduced. The technique is applied for network traffic characterization and provides quality network behaviour descriptors for intrusion detectors to use. Th...

Timber grading seminar for sawmillers. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2013, March). Timber grading seminar for sawmillers

This grading seminar will give you a crash course in timber grading, what it is, how it is done and how it is likely to change in future. It aims to demystify timber grading, tackle some widely held misconceptions, and tell you the things sawmillers... Read More about Timber grading seminar for sawmillers..

The challenges of Big Data: future risks, governance and trust. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J. (2013, March). The challenges of Big Data: future risks, governance and trust. Paper presented at The Future of Cyber Security 2013

The emphasis in computer security is moving from end point security towards data controls, and this is becoming an increasing threat as we move into an era build around Big Data. This presentation thus outlines the change in emphasis of security cont... Read More about The challenges of Big Data: future risks, governance and trust..

Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Scott, M., & Oakley, I. (2013, February). Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces. Presented at 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction - TEI '13

This paper argues that inherent support for offline activities -- activities that are not sensed by the system -- is one of strongest benefits of tangible interaction over more traditional interface paradigms. By conducting two studies with single an... Read More about Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces.
