An adaptive approach to better load balancing in a consumer-centric cloud environment (2016)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Cai, W., Shen, J., Liu, X., & Linge, N. (2016). An adaptive approach to better load balancing in a consumer-centric cloud environment. IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 62(3), 243-250. https://doi.org/10.1109/tce.2016.7613190

Pay-as-you-consume, as a new type of cloud computing paradigm, has become increasingly popular since a large number of cloud services are gradually opening up to consumers. It gives consumers a great convenience, where users no longer need to buy the... Read More about An adaptive approach to better load balancing in a consumer-centric cloud environment.

Understanding Environmental Influence in an Open-Ended Evolutionary Algorithm (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Steyven, A., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2016, October). Understanding Environmental Influence in an Open-Ended Evolutionary Algorithm. Presented at PPSN 2016 14th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature

It is well known that in open-ended evolution, the nature of the environment plays in key role in directing evolution. However, in Evolutionary Robotics, it is often unclear exactly how parameterisation of a given environment might influence the emer...

Technological support for citizen science in global ecology (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davison, B., Begossi, A., Roques, K., Pandeya, B., & August, T. (2016, August). Technological support for citizen science in global ecology. Presented at 5th International EcoSummit: Ecological Sustainability - Engineering Change, Montpelier, France

The contribution of volunteers in ecology is undeniable. With developments in mobile technology and social media, many predict their contribution to become even more significant. However, economic disparities across the world challenge this vision. T... Read More about Technological support for citizen science in global ecology.

TD-ERCS map-based confusion and diffusion of autocorrelated data (2016)
Journal Article
Khan, J. S., Ahmad, J., & Khan, M. A. (2017). TD-ERCS map-based confusion and diffusion of autocorrelated data. Nonlinear Dynamics, 87(1), 93-107. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-016-3028-2

In this article, we proposed a new scheme to encrypt highly autocorrelated image pixel data. In existing literature, single substitution was used to break autocorrelation in images. To get better results, instead of single substitution box, some rese... Read More about TD-ERCS map-based confusion and diffusion of autocorrelated data.

Cloud Security, Privacy, and Trust Baselines (2016)
Book Chapter
Pitropakis, N., Katsikas, S., & Lambrinoudakis, C. (2016). Cloud Security, Privacy, and Trust Baselines. In Cloud Computing Security Foundations and Challenges. Boca Raton: CRC Press

According to ISO 27001, a threat is a potential event. When a threat turns into an actual event, it may cause an undesirable incident. It is undesirable because the incident may harm an organization or a system, causing a security incident and/or t... Read More about Cloud Security, Privacy, and Trust Baselines.

The same neuron may play different functional roles in the neural circuits to which it belongs. For example, neurons in the Tritonia pedal ganglia may participate in variable phases of the swim motor rhythms [1]. While such neuronal functional variab...
