Enhancing service portability in upcoming 3G UMTS networks & security aspects (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chrysoulas, C., Sklavos, N., & Kakarountas, A. P. (2010, April). Enhancing service portability in upcoming 3G UMTS networks & security aspects. Presented at Melecon 2010 - 2010 15th IEEE Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference, Valletta, Malta

Compared to other wired networks, complexity in the 3G UMTS is due its interactions with different entities. Within the UMTS, services have to deal with a great number of different QoS, small user display, variant bandwidth and small battery power. M...

FPGA implementation of hot spot detection in infrared video. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walczyk, R., Armitage, A., & Binnie, D. (2010, June). FPGA implementation of hot spot detection in infrared video. Paper presented at IET Irish Systems & Signals Conference

This paper describes a Hardware Description Language (HDL) based fully customizable module for real-time infrared (IR) hot spot detection and feature extraction from a video stream. The aim of the research was to investigate and evaluate possible sol... Read More about FPGA implementation of hot spot detection in infrared video..

Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, N., Benyon, D., Hansen, P., & Mival, O. (2010, May). Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness. Presented at IREC 2010, Seventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation, Valletta, Malta

Evaluation of complex, collaborative dialogue systems is a difficult task.Traditionally, developers have relied upon subjective feedback from the user,and parametrisation over observable metrics. However, both models place somereliance on the notion... Read More about Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness..

Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, N., Benyon, D., Bradley, J., Hansen, P., & Mival, O. (2010, September). Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation

Working within the EU funded COMPANIONS program, we report recent work with a Wizard of Oz (WoZ) dialogue collection system.
COMPANION systems require complex models of dialogue, and new models of evaluation. Wizard of Oz dialogues give us a mechani... Read More about Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation..

Manipulation and optimization techniques for Boolean logic (2010)
Journal Article
Al-Jassani, B. A., Urquhart, N. B., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2010). Manipulation and optimization techniques for Boolean logic. IET computers & digital techniques / IET, 4, 227-239. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cdt.2009.0007

In this study, new techniques and algorithms are presented for the derivation and optimisation of mixed polarity Reed Muller (MPRM) and mixed polarity dual Reed Muller (MPDRM) functions. The first algorithm is used for bidirectional conversion betwee... Read More about Manipulation and optimization techniques for Boolean logic.

Cross layer neighbourhood load routing for wireless mesh networks. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhao, L., Al-Dubai, A., & Min, G. (2010, April). Cross layer neighbourhood load routing for wireless mesh networks. Presented at 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel & Distributed Processing, Workshops and Phd Forum (IPDPSW),

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has been considered as a key emerging technology to construct next generation wireless communication networks. It combines the advantages of both mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) and traditional fixed network, attracting sign... Read More about Cross layer neighbourhood load routing for wireless mesh networks..

Everyday coping with technology (2010)
Preprint / Working Paper
Turner, P., & Turner, S. Everyday coping with technology

We report an empirical investigation of Borgmann’s observation that people are fixed in the range of relationships they can have with technology based on their prior familiarity with it. This technological horizon might serve to constrain the kinds o... Read More about Everyday coping with technology.

A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yassein, M. B., Manaseer, S., Al-hassan, A. A., Taye', Z. A., & Al-Dubai, A. Y. (2010, April). A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs. Presented at 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel & Distributed Processing, Workshops and Phd Forum (IPDPSW), Atlanta, USA

Broadcasting is an essential operation in Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) environments. It is used in the initial phase of route discovery process in many reactive protocols. Although broadcasting is simple, it causes the well known broadcast storm p... Read More about A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs.

Experimental host-and network-based analyser and detector for Botnets (2010)
Thesis
Jacob, B. Experimental host-and network-based analyser and detector for Botnets. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4026

Botnets are networks of malware-infected machines that are controlled by an adversary are the cause of a large number of problems on the internet [1]. They are increasing faster than any other type of malware and have created a huge army of hosts ove... Read More about Experimental host-and network-based analyser and detector for Botnets.
