An integrated firewall policy validation tool (2009)
Thesis
Macfarlane, R. (2009). An integrated firewall policy validation tool. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3971

Security policies are increasingly being implemented by organisations. Policies are mapped to device configurations to enforce the policies. This is typically performed manually by network administrators. The development and management of these enfor... Read More about An integrated firewall policy validation tool.

Modelling motorcycles driving cycles and emissions in Edinburgh (2009)
Thesis
Kumar, R. Modelling motorcycles driving cycles and emissions in Edinburgh. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3047

The level of ownership and use of motorcycling has increased rapidly in Edinburgh and the UK in the last ten years. In this study, motorcycle driving cycles (rural and urban) were developed for Edinburgh (Edinburgh Motorcycle Driving cycle-EMDC). The...

Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques (2009)
Thesis
Graves, J. Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6699

Digital Forensics is a nascent field that faces a number of technical, procedural and cultural difficulties that must be overcome if it is to be recognised as a scientific discipline, and not just an art. Technical problems involve the need to develo... Read More about Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques.

The design of a CCTV system for use in a hazardous atmosphere (2009)
Thesis
Gordon, C. The design of a CCTV system for use in a hazardous atmosphere. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6693

The aim of the project was to develop a new Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) camera station that could be used in the petrochemical industry. The petrochemical industry presents a number of unique environmental restrictions that impact new product design. Th... Read More about The design of a CCTV system for use in a hazardous atmosphere.

Performance measurement and mathematical modelling of integrated solar water heaters (2009)
Thesis
Garnier, C. Performance measurement and mathematical modelling of integrated solar water heaters. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2593

In a period of rapidly growing deployment of sustainable energy sources the exploitation of solar energy systems is imperative. Colder climates like those experienced in Scotland show a good potential in addressing the thermal energy requirement of b...

Analysis and evaluation of network intrusion detection methods to uncover data theft (2009)
Thesis
Corsini, J. Analysis and evaluation of network intrusion detection methods to uncover data theft. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4031

Nowadays, the majority of corporations mainly use signature-based intrusion detection. This trend is partly due to the fact that signature detection is a well-known technology, as opposed to anomaly detection which is one of the hot topics in network...

Open source software adoption in non-profit organisations – socio-technical perspectives (2009)
Thesis
Zhang, G. Open source software adoption in non-profit organisations – socio-technical perspectives. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3811

Open source software has grown from a small sub-community of developers and users with their own ideologies to a significant element in the IT strategies of major vendors. Open source communities and practices have been researched extensively and th... Read More about Open source software adoption in non-profit organisations – socio-technical perspectives.

Enhanced event time-lining for digital forensic systems (2009)
Thesis
Symon, C. Enhanced event time-lining for digital forensic systems. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4028

In a digital forensics investigation, log files can be used as a form of evidence by reconstructing timelines of the computer system events recorded in log files. Log files can come from a variety of sources, each of which may make use of proprietary... Read More about Enhanced event time-lining for digital forensic systems.
