"We're coming from different worlds" : exploring student identity during transition (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meharg, D., Varey, A., & Cairncross, S. (2018). "We're coming from different worlds" : exploring student identity during transition. In SRHE Newer and Early Career Conference 2018 Proceedings

This study presents empirical work examining the student journey from further to higher education in computing degrees in Scotland and seeks to understand the complex formation of identity, from the student perspective, during transition. In Scotlan... Read More about "We're coming from different worlds" : exploring student identity during transition.

Enhancing learning confidence for direct entry computing students (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fabian, K., Taylor-Smith, E., Meharg, D., & Varey, A. (2018, December). Enhancing learning confidence for direct entry computing students. Paper presented at The Changing Shape of Higher Education: Can excellence and inclusion cohabit?, Newport, UK

Previous studies have shown that students who transfer into university from college (direct entrants) face several challenges when they enter university. In response, the Associate Student Project supports students who enter university directly into... Read More about Enhancing learning confidence for direct entry computing students.

Multi-reality games: an experience across the entire reality-virtuality continuum (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Casas, L., Ciccone, L., Çimen, G., Wiedemann, P., Fauconneau, M., Sumner, R. W., & Mitchell, K. (2018, December). Multi-reality games: an experience across the entire reality-virtuality continuum. Presented at the 16th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference, Tokyo, Japan

Interactive play can take very different forms, from playing with physical board games to fully digital video games. In recent years, new video game paradigms were introduced to connect real-world objects to virtual game characters. However, even the...

Mitigating Disaster using Secure Threshold-Cloud Architecture (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ukwandu, E., Buchanan, W. J., & Russell, G. (2018). Mitigating Disaster using Secure Threshold-Cloud Architecture. Current Trends in Computer Sciences & Applications, 1(2),

There are many risks in moving data into public cloud environments, along with an increasing threat around large-scale data leakage during cloud outages. This work aims to apply secret sharing methods as used in cryptography to create shares of crypt... Read More about Mitigating Disaster using Secure Threshold-Cloud Architecture.

Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mirza, N., Taylor, H., Abdelshafy, M., King, P., Romdhani, I., & Alghamdi, A. (2018, June). Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs. Presented at The International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC), Rome, Italy

Utilising multiple disjoint paths in multiple channels can improve network performance by enabling a node to reroute data along discovered paths seamlessly when link failure is detected. However, depending on a stale route to recover from a broken li... Read More about Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs.
