Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sivavakeesar, S., Pavlou, G., & Liotta, A. (2004, March). Stable clustering through mobility prediction for large-scale multihop intelligent ad hoc networks. Presented at 2004 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, Atlanta, GA, USA

In this paper we present a framework for dynamically organizing mobile nodes (MNs) in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), with the eventual aim to support quality of service (QoS). Our dynamic, distributed clustering approach is based on int... Read More about Stable clustering through mobility prediction for large-scale multihop intelligent ad hoc networks.

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.

A Different Perspective on Filmic Authorship (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sellors, C. P. (2004, July). A Different Perspective on Filmic Authorship. Paper presented at Screen Conference, Glasgow

In this paper I argue that film theoreticians have frequently viewed filmic authorship from the wrong perspective, seeing it as a concept to be derived from a filmic text rather than an act of intentionally causing a text. This has placed theory at o... Read More about A Different Perspective on Filmic Authorship.
