Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cruickshank, P., & Smith, C. F. (2009, September). Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions

E-petitions are seen as one response to a perceived decline in public trust of political institutions and the associated symptoms of disengagement. In this paper, some current research into epetitioning in Europe is reviewed, and the need to understa... Read More about Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions..

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. 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...

Application of CoSMoS parallel design patterns to a pedestrian simulation. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clayton, S., Urquhart, N. B., & Kerridge, J. (2009, September). Application of CoSMoS parallel design patterns to a pedestrian simulation. Presented at International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2009: Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics

In this paper, we discuss the implementation of a simple pedestrian simulation that uses a multi agent based design pattern developed by the CoSMoS research group. Given the nature of Multi Agent Systems (MAS), parallel processing techniques are inev... Read More about Application of CoSMoS parallel design patterns to a pedestrian simulation..

An investigation into distributed channel mobility support for Communicating Process Architectures. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chalmers, K., & Kerridge, J. (2009, November). An investigation into distributed channel mobility support for Communicating Process Architectures. Presented at 32nd Communicating Process Architecture conference (CPA)

Localised mobile channel support is now a feature of Communicating Process Architecture (CPA) based frameworks, from JCSP and C++CSP to occam-pi. Distributed mobile channel support has also been attempted in JCSP Networking and occam-pi via the pony...

Investigating communicating sequential processes for Java to support ubiquitous computing (2009)
Thesis
Chalmers, K. Investigating communicating sequential processes for Java to support ubiquitous computing. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3507

Ubiquitous Computing promises to enrich our everyday lives by enabling the environment to be enhanced via computational elements. These elements are designed to augment and support our lives, thus allowing us to perform our tasks and goals. The main...

Presence for everyone - a short guide to presence research. (2009)
Book
Smyth, M. (2009). D. Benyon, M. Smyth, & I. Helgason (Eds.). Presence for everyone - a short guide to presence research. Centre for Interaction Design

Every day in countless interactions you and I use media to immerse ourselves in virtual environments of information, gaming, video, and social networking. For these moments we are not fully present in our rooms, offices, and streets. Connected by int... Read More about Presence for everyone - a short guide to presence research..

Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems (2009)
Book Chapter
Hart, E., McEwan, C., & Davoudani, D. (2009). Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems. In C. Mumford, & L. Jain (Eds.), Intelligent Systems Reference Library; Computational Intelligence (527-558). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01799-5_16

Despite a steady increase in the application of algorithms inspired by the natural immune system to a variety of domains over the previous decade, we argue that the field of Artificial Immune Systems has yet to achieve its full potential. We suggest... Read More about Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems.

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. 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.

Multiple streaming at the network edge (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alhaisoni, M., Ghanbari, M., & Liotta, A. (2009, October). Multiple streaming at the network edge. Presented at 2009 First International Conference on Advances in P2P Systems, Sliema, Malta

Streaming video over the Internet, including cellular networks, has now become commonplace. Network operators typically use multicasting or variations of multiple unicasting to deliver streams to the user terminal in a controlled fashion. An emerging...
