Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Llamas, D. (2004, June). Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers. Paper presented at 3rd International Conference on Electronic Warfare and Security (EIWC)

Data hiding methods can be used by intruders to communicate over open data channels (Wolf 1989; McHugh 1995; deVivo, deVivo et al. 1999), and can be used to overcome firewalls, and most other forms of network intrusion detection systems. In fact, mos... Read More about Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers..

A question of realism. (2004)

Innovation and hybrid genres: disturbing social rhythm in legal practice. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Horton, K., & Davenport, E. (2004). Innovation and hybrid genres: disturbing social rhythm in legal practice.

This paper explores the non-adoption of an innovation via the concept of hybrid genres, that is digital genres that emerge from a non-digital material precedent. As instances of innovation these are often resisted because they disturb the order of ac... Read More about Innovation and hybrid genres: disturbing social rhythm in legal practice..

Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lynden, S., Idowu, O., Periorellis, P., Young, M., & Andras, P. (2004). Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery. In Japan Human Proteomics 2004 (54-54). https://doi.org/10.14889/jhupo.2004.0.54.0

The aim of our work is to accumulate protein interaction data and to develop computational techniques for analysing the topologies of protein interaction networks to reveal network vulnerabilities. We have developed a variety of network analysis algo... Read More about Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery.

Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sa'adah, S., Ross, P., & Paechter, B. (2004, April). Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), there are two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This paper describes so...

Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & McGregor, I. (2004). Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.

This paper presents an investigation into how sound can be used to create a sense of place (that is, the sense of being in that particular place). In the study, people were asked to speak aloud and tell us what they could hear. The analysis of these... Read More about Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.

Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2004, December). Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. Presented at Cognition and Expolaratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2004), Hotel Altis, Lisbon, Portugal

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., Raguenaud, C., McDonald, S. M., & Russell, G. (2004, March). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. Presented at Data Integration in the Life Sciences. First International Workshop, DILS 2004

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...
