Towards a resource management and service deployment framework (2007)
Journal Article
Chrysoulas, C., Haleplidis, E., Kostopoulos, G., Haas, R., & Koufopavlou, O. (2008). Towards a resource management and service deployment framework. International Journal of Network Management, 18(4), 345-363. https://doi.org/10.1002/nem.672

Owing to the increase in both heterogeneity and complexity in today's networking systems, the need arises for new network‐based services architectures. They must provide flexibility and efficiency in the definition, deployment and execution of the se... Read More about Towards a resource management and service deployment framework.

Open source mobile VPNs over converged all-IP networks (2007)
Journal Article
Liotta, A., Tyrode-Goilo, D. H., & Oredope, A. (2008). Open source mobile VPNs over converged all-IP networks. Journal of Network and Systems Management, 16(2), 163-181. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10922-007-9075-8

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are normally used for secured communications over the Internet. The VPNs have evolved significantly over the years, leading to a range of open-source and proprietary solutions. In Converged, all-IP networks terminal mo...

Ecological network analysis: an application to the evaluation of effects of pesticide use in an agricultural environment (2007)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Gwyther, R., Madalinski, A. A., Lynden, S. J., Andras, A., & Young, M. P. (2007). Ecological network analysis: an application to the evaluation of effects of pesticide use in an agricultural environment. Pest management science, 63(10), 943-953. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.1347

Ecological network analysis is used to evaluate the impact of pesticide use on ecological systems in the context of agricultural farmland environments. The aim is to provide support for the design of effective and minimally damaging pest control stra...

How older people account for their experiences with interactive technology. (2007)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Van de Walle, G. (2007). How older people account for their experiences with interactive technology. Behaviour and Information Technology, 26, 287-296. https://doi.org/10.1080/01449290601173499

We present a qualitative study, undertaken over a period of nine months, of older people facing the challenges of learning to use interactive technology, specifically personal computers (PCs) and the internet. We examine the range of causal explanati... Read More about How older people account for their experiences with interactive technology..

How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. (2007)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Bersini, H., & Santos, F. (2007). How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 249, 422-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2007.07.019

The mutability of bacteriophages offers a particular advantage in the treatment of bacterial infections not afforded by other antimicrobial therapies. When phage-resistant bacteria emerge, mutation may generate phage capable of exploiting and thus li... Read More about How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network..

Finding feasible timetables using group-based operators. (2007)
Journal Article
Lewis, R. M. R., & Paechter, B. (2007). Finding feasible timetables using group-based operators. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 11, 397-413. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2006.885162

This paper describes the applicability of the so-called "grouping genetic algorithm" to a well-known version of the university course timetabling problem. We note that there are, in fact, various scaling up issues surrounding this sort of algorithm a... Read More about Finding feasible timetables using group-based operators..

Simulation of robustness against lesions of cortical networks (2007)
Journal Article
Kaiser, M., Martin, R., Andras, P., & Young, M. P. (2007). Simulation of robustness against lesions of cortical networks. European Journal of Neuroscience, 25(10), 3185-3192. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2007.05574.x

Structure entails function, and thus a structural description of the brain will help to understand its function and may provide insights into many properties of brain systems, from their robustness and recovery from damage to their dynamics and even...
