A Blockchain Framework in Post-Quantum Decentralization (2021)
Journal Article
Saha, R., Kumar, G., Devgun, T., Buchanan, W., Thomas, R., Alazab, M., Kim, T.-H., & Rodrigues, J. (2023). A Blockchain Framework in Post-Quantum Decentralization. IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1109/tsc.2021.3116896

The decentralization and transparency have provided wide acceptance of blockchain technology in various sectors through numerous applications. The claimed security services by blockchain have been proved using various cryptographic techniques, mainly... Read More about A Blockchain Framework in Post-Quantum Decentralization.

Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Quinton, M., Mcgregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021, September). Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts. Presented at Audio Mostly 2021, Trento, Italy

This study investigates the design and evaluation of a sonification designed to detect any planets orbiting within an asteroid belt of an exosolar system. The interface was designed for an astronomer who studies this phenomenon. User centered design... Read More about Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts.

A Mamdani Type Fuzzy Inference System to Calculate Employee Susceptibility to Phishing Attacks (2021)
Journal Article
Lambat, Y., Ayres, N., Maglaras, L., & Ferrag, M. A. (2021). A Mamdani Type Fuzzy Inference System to Calculate Employee Susceptibility to Phishing Attacks. Applied Sciences, 11(19), Article 9083. https://doi.org/10.3390/app11199083

It is a well known fact that the weakest link in a cyber secure system is the people who configure, manage or use it. Security breaches are persistently being attributed to human error. Social engineered based attacks are becoming more sophisticated... Read More about A Mamdani Type Fuzzy Inference System to Calculate Employee Susceptibility to Phishing Attacks.

Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation for Holistic Counting under Label Gap (2021)
Journal Article
Litrico, M., Battiato, S., Tsaftaris, S. A., & Giuffrida, M. V. (2021). Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation for Holistic Counting under Label Gap. Journal of Imaging, 7(10), Article 198. https://doi.org/10.3390/jimaging7100198

This paper proposes a novel approach for semi-supervised domain adaptation for holistic regression tasks, where a DNN predicts a continuous value y∈R given an input image x. The current literature generally lacks specific domain adaptation approaches... Read More about Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation for Holistic Counting under Label Gap.

Modelling Individual Preferences to Study and Predict Effects of Traffic Policies (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, J., Powers, S., Urquhart, N., Farrenkopf, T., & Guckert, M. (2021, October). Modelling Individual Preferences to Study and Predict Effects of Traffic Policies. Presented at PAAMS: International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Salamanca, Spain

Traffic can be viewed as a complex adaptive system in which systemic patterns arise as emergent phenomena. Global behaviour is a result of behavioural patterns of a large set of individual travellers. However, available traffic simulation models lack...

Using AGADE Traffic to Analyse Purpose-driven Travel Behaviour (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, J., Powers, S. T., Urquhart, N., Farrenkopf, T., & Guckert, M. (2021, October). Using AGADE Traffic to Analyse Purpose-driven Travel Behaviour. Presented at PAAMS: International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Salamanca, Spain

AGADE Traffic is an agent-based traffic simulator that can be used to analyse purpose-driven travel behaviour of individuals that leads to the emergence of systemic patterns in mobility. The simulator uses semantic technology to model knowledge of in... Read More about Using AGADE Traffic to Analyse Purpose-driven Travel Behaviour.

Identifying Roles, Requirements and Responsibilities in Trustworthy AI Systems (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, I., & Abramson, W. (2021, September). Identifying Roles, Requirements and Responsibilities in Trustworthy AI Systems. Presented at UbiComp '21: The 2021 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, Online

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are being deployed around the globe in critical fields such as healthcare and education. In some cases, expert practitioners in these domains are being tasked with introducing or using such systems, but have littl...

Artificial Eyes with Emotion and Light Responsive Pupils for Realistic Humanoid Robots (2021)
Journal Article
Strathearn, C. (2021). Artificial Eyes with Emotion and Light Responsive Pupils for Realistic Humanoid Robots. Informatics, 8(4), Article 64. https://doi.org/10.3390/informatics8040064

This study employs a novel 3D engineered robotic eye system with dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) pupils and a 3D sculpted and colourised gelatin iris membrane to replicate the appearance and materiality of the human eye. A camera system for facia... Read More about Artificial Eyes with Emotion and Light Responsive Pupils for Realistic Humanoid Robots.
