Distributed and compressed MIKEY mode to secure end-to-end communications in the Internet of things (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abdmeziem, R., Tandjaoui, D., & Romdhani, I. (2016, June). Distributed and compressed MIKEY mode to secure end-to-end communications in the Internet of things. Presented at 5th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Services, San Francisco, USA

Multimedia Internet KEYing protocol (MIKEY) aims at establishing secure credentials between two communicating entities. However, existing MIKEY modes fail to meet the requirements of low-power and low-processing devices. To address this issue, we com...

Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation (2016)
Book Chapter
Wells, S. (2016). Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation. In Argumentation and Reasoned Action Volume 2 (1045-1063). College Publications

We introduce combinatorial dialogue games, an approach to strategizing within argumentative dialogue games where the moves played are interpreted as moves within an edge addition and/or edge-removal combinatorial game. This enables an agent to reason... Read More about Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation.

Using argumentation within sustainable transport communication (2016)
Book Chapter
Wells, S., & Pangbourne, K. (2016). Using argumentation within sustainable transport communication. In Argumentation and Reasoned Action Volume 1 (781-801). College Publications

In this paper we present the preliminary results of a survey of persuasive communication within the sustainable transport domain. This survey is underpinned by a reconstruction of the arguments used, a scheme oriented analysis of the corpus of recon...
