Dealing with complex networks of process interactions: A security measure (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Periorellis, P., Idowu, O. C., Lynden, S. J., Young, M. P., & András, P. (2004, April). Dealing with complex networks of process interactions: A security measure. Presented at Ninth IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems, Florence, Italy

The majority of faults and consequent errors and failures in computer systems stem from the complexity of the system itself according to B. Schneier (2000). Yet complexity as a non-functional property is largely disregarded from initial development p... Read More about Dealing with complex networks of process interactions: A security measure.

The results of a research project that examined the factors that motivated individuals competing to win an award of £10,000 to interact collectively in a Yahoo e-group are presented. The project’s focus was to examine the apparent willingness of comp... Read More about Creation and recreation: motivating collaboration to generate knowledge capital in online communities.

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 Note on When the Sleeper Wakes and Heart of Darkness (2004)
Journal Article
Dryden, L. (2004). A Note on When the Sleeper Wakes and Heart of Darkness. Notes and Queries, 171-174

This article discusses the fact that Heart of Darkness is mentioned in H. G. Wells's When the Sleeper Wakes. It argues that due to publication dates, it would seem that Wells knew about Conrad's story and may well have seen the manuscript.

Evaluating train protection systems (2004)
Journal Article
