Analysis of malicious affiliate network activity as a test case for an investigatory framework. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miehling, M. J., Buchanan, W. J., Old, L. J., Batey, A., & Rahman, A. (2010, July). Analysis of malicious affiliate network activity as a test case for an investigatory framework

Currently there is a great deal of literature surrounding methods that can be used to de-tect click-fraud, but there is very little published work on actual cases of click-through fraud. The aim of this paper is to present the details of a real-life... Read More about Analysis of malicious affiliate network activity as a test case for an investigatory framework..

Hallelujah! using topical examples to Illustrate ethical and business Issues for engineers. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., & Cairncross, S. (2010). Hallelujah! using topical examples to Illustrate ethical and business Issues for engineers. In Proceedings of FIE 2010 (S3E-1). https://doi.org/10.1109/FIE.2010.5673348

Technically-oriented undergraduate students are often reluctant to engage with “Legal, Social, Ethical and Professional Issues”. In particular many learners appear to have an increasingly cavalier attitude to intellectual property in digital media. M...

Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2010). Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management.

A major challenge faced by road authorities is to manage road networks within budget constraints and the uncertainty associated in predicting future performance of pavements; this is particularly true for the low volume road network. Road authorities... Read More about Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management..

Thermosyphon Heated Thermal Store, the Influences of Valve Opening on flow, an Experimental Analysis. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Macbeth, J., Smith, H., Currie, J., & Finlayson, N. (2010). Thermosyphon Heated Thermal Store, the Influences of Valve Opening on flow, an Experimental Analysis.

This paper outlines initial findings from the design of a Thermal Energy Storage
(TES) system whose principal objective is to promote stratification when charged by an
intermittent electrical supply. This concept will offer an efficient solution to... Read More about Thermosyphon Heated Thermal Store, the Influences of Valve Opening on flow, an Experimental Analysis..

Improving data quality in data warehousing applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, L., Peng, T., & Kennedy, J. (2010, June). Improving data quality in data warehousing applications. Presented at Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems

There is a growing awareness that high quality of data is a key to today’s business success and dirty data that exits within data sources is one of the reasons that cause poor data quality. To ensure high quality, enterprises need to have a process,... Read More about Improving data quality in data warehousing applications.

The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lee, T., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2010). The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow.

The aim of this study is to estimate the Passenger Car Unit
(PCU) values of motorcycles in two traffic environments: at
the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow.
Motorcycles are able to undertake both lane-based and
non-lane-based... Read More about The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow..

The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lee, T., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2010). The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow.

PCU (Passenger Car Unit) values are used in traffic management and transportation planning to calculate the flow volume in mixed traffic. However, the impact of motorcycles on road capacity is difficult to measure due to their ability to undertake bo... Read More about The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow..

Privacy-preserving data acquisition protocol. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kwecka, Z., Buchanan, W. J., & Spiers, D. A. (2010, July). Privacy-preserving data acquisition protocol

Current investigative data acquisition techniques often breach human and natural rights of the data subject and can jeopardize an investigation. Often the investigators need to reveal to the data controller precise details of their suspect’s identity... Read More about Privacy-preserving data acquisition protocol..

Towards self-aware PerAda systems. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2010, July). Towards self-aware PerAda systems

Pervasive Adaptation (PerAda) refers to massive-scale pervasive information and communication systems which are capable of autonomously adapting to highly dynamic and open technological and user contexts. PerAda systems are thus a special case of col... Read More about Towards self-aware PerAda systems..
