Towards network-wide QoE fairness using openflow-assisted adaptive video streaming (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Georgopoulos, P., Elkhatib, Y., Broadbent, M., Mu, M., & Race, N. (2013). Towards network-wide QoE fairness using openflow-assisted adaptive video streaming. In FhMN '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Future human-centric multimedia net

Video streaming is an increasingly popular way to consume media content. Adaptive video streaming is an emerging delivery technology which aims to increase user QoE and maximise connection utilisation. Many implementations naively estimate bandwidth...

Towards reliable hybrid bio-silicon integration using novel adaptive control system (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Luo, J. W., Degenaar, P., Coapes, G., Yakovlev, A., Mak, T., & Andras, P. (2013). Towards reliable hybrid bio-silicon integration using novel adaptive control system. In 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) (2311-2314). https

Hybrid bio-silicon networks are difficult to implement in practice due to variations of biological neuron bursting frequency. This causes the hybrid network to have inaccuracies and unreliability. The network may produce irregular bursts or incorrect... Read More about Towards reliable hybrid bio-silicon integration using novel adaptive control system.

Journal Article
Reilly, C., & Chalmers, K. (2013). Game physics analysis and development – a quality-driven approach using the Entity Component Pattern. The Computer Games Journal, 2, 125-149

The games industry is a broad, multi-discipline industry, which continues to grow in terms of revenue and cultural significance. Despite the accolades of this “recession-proof” industry, video game projects often fail either to deliver on time and on...

Improving cloud network security using the Tree-Rule firewall (2013)
Journal Article
He, X., Chomsiri, T., Nanda, P., & Tan, Z. (2014). Improving cloud network security using the Tree-Rule firewall. Future Generation Computer Systems, 30, 116-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2013.06.024

This study proposes a new model of firewall called the ‘Tree-Rule Firewall’, which offers various benefits and is applicable for large networks such as ‘cloud’ networks. The recently available firewalls (i.e., Listed-Rule firewalls) have their limita... Read More about Improving cloud network security using the Tree-Rule firewall.

How we cope with digital technology. (2013)

Digital technology has become a defining characteristic of modern life. Almost everyone uses it, we all rely on it, and many of us own a multitude of devices. What is more, we all expect to be able to use these technologies “straight out the box.” Th... Read More about How we cope with digital technology..

Comparing designers’ and listeners’ experiences (2013)
Journal Article
McGregor, I. (2014). Comparing designers’ and listeners’ experiences. AI & society, 29(4), 473-483. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-013-0489-4

This paper compares the listening experiences of non-experts and the designers of two sound designs. To date, no such comparisons have been examined empiri- cally, and so for ease of comparison, repertory grids were chosen to explore these experience...

Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Scott, C., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. Presented at 15th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computation

This paper makes the assertion that vehicle routing rearch has produced increasingly more powerful problem solvers, but has not increased the realism or compexity of typical problem instances. This paper argues that the time has come of use realistic... Read More about Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances..
