The Sierpinski brain (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P. (2001). The Sierpinski brain. In IJCNN'01. International Joint Conference on Neural Networks Proceedings (654-659). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2001.939101

The paper presents a new approach to the interpretation of chaotic neural activity. It is suggested that such activity forms neural objects represented as spatio-temporal firing patterns and the neural computations are performed through the interacti... Read More about The Sierpinski brain.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liotta, A., Pavlou, G., & Knight, G. (2001, June). Active distributed monitoring for dynamic large-scale networks. Presented at ICC 2001. IEEE International Conference on Communications, Helsinki, Finland

Networks offering services of high availability and quality need to be carefully monitored. Their increasing size and complexity stresses the ability of currently used static centralized systems. Decentralized approaches are possible and a key issue... Read More about Active distributed monitoring for dynamic large-scale networks.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zayed, A., Hussain, A., & Smith, L. (2001, December). A modified generalised minimum-variance stochastic self-tuning controller with pole-zero placement. Presented at IEEE International Multi Topic Conference, 2001, Lahore, Pakistan

The paper proposes a modified robust self-tuning controller, which minimises a cost function, incorporating system input, system output and set-point. It provides an adaptive mechanism which ensures that both the closed-loop poles and zeros are place...

Security has become a major issue in many organisations, but most systems still rely on operating systems, and a user ID and password system to provide user authentication and validation. They also tend to be centralized in their approach which makes... Read More about An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security..

Towards optimal broadcasting in wormhole-routed meshes (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Mackenzie, L. (2001, June). Towards optimal broadcasting in wormhole-routed meshes. Presented at PDPTA '2001

Most existing broadcast algorithms proposed for the mesh do not scale well with the network size. Furthermore, they have been mainly based on deterministic routing, which cannot exploit the alternative paths provided by mesh topology to reduce commun...

A federated information system requires that multiple (often heterogenous) information systems are integrated to an extent that they can share data. This shared data often takes the form of a federated schema, which is a global view of data taken fro... Read More about Using a metadata software layer in information systems integration..
