Presentation / Conference Contribution
Naz, N., Khan, M. A., Khan, M. A., Khan, M. A., Jan, S. U., Shah, S. A., Arshad, Abbasi, Q. H., & Ahmad, J. (2022, October). A Comparison of Ensemble Learning for Intrusion Detection in Telemetry Data. Presented at 3rd International Conference of Advanced Computing and Informatics, Casablanca, Morocco

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a grid of interconnected pre-programmed electronic devices to provide intelligent services for daily life tasks. However, the security of such networks is a considerable obstacle to successful implementation. Therefore...

Investigation into Stress Triggers in Autistic Adults for the Development of Technological Self-Interventions
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGowan, J. J., & Mcgregor, I. P. (2023, October). Investigation into Stress Triggers in Autistic Adults for the Development of Technological Self-Interventions. Presented at The 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, New York, United States

Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face daily challenges dealing with stress, for example, at work, or in public spaces, which can be overwhelming in terms of coping with sensory overload. Technological interventions have been created in orde... Read More about Investigation into Stress Triggers in Autistic Adults for the Development of Technological Self-Interventions.

A Probability Mapping-Based Privacy Preservation Method for Social Networks
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, Q., Wang, Y., Wang, F., Tan, Z., & Wang, C. (2023, November). A Probability Mapping-Based Privacy Preservation Method for Social Networks. Presented at The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Security 2023 (UbiSec-2023), Exeter

The mining and analysis of social networks can bring significant economic and social benefits. However, it also poses a risk of privacy leakages. Differential privacy is a de facto standard to prevent such leaks, but it suffers from the high sensitiv...
