A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Uthmani, O., Buchanan, W. J., Fan, L., & Lawson, A. A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation

This paper outlines a novel information sharing method using Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDs). It is inspired by the work of Al-Shaer and Hamed, who applied BDDs into the modelling of network firewalls. This is applied into an information sharing poli...

Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment (2013)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Burrows, L. (2013). Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment. International Journal of Cognitive Performance Support, 1, 54-68. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJCPS.2013.053554

This study took as its starting point the premise that a high degree of realism is not a necessary condition for the creation of a ‘sense of place’ in mediated experiences such as those presented through virtual reality. A sense of place is the sense... Read More about Creating a sense of place with a deliberately constrained virtual environment.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thomson, A., Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2013, July). Pianola - visualization of multivariate time-series security event data. Presented at 17th International Conference on Information Visualisation

Monitoring log files for network intrusions is unwieldy. To build a mental model of the log, an analyst is required to recognise continuous timelines and attack patterns from a dataset that is essentially limited to an ordered list of events. Informa...
