Protecting mobile agents from external replay attacks (2009)
Journal Article
Garrigues, C., Migas, N., Buchanan, W., Robles, S., & Borrell, J. (2009). Protecting mobile agents from external replay attacks. Journal of Systems and Software, 82(2), 197-206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2008.05.018

This paper presents a protocol for the protection of mobile agents against external replay attacks. This kind of attacks are performed by malicious platforms when dispatching an agent multiple times to a remote host, thus making it reexecute part of...

MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks (2008)
Thesis
Migas, N. (2008). MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4000

Recent advances in technology provided the ground for highly dynamic, mobile, infrastructure-less networks, namely, ad-hoc networks. Despite their enormous benefits, the full potential cannot be reached unless certain issues are resolved. These mainl...

Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. J. (2008). Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support. In 22nd IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (1-8). https://doi.org/10.1109/IPDPS.2008.4536496

In the vast majority of ad-hoc routing protocols, the hop-counting mechanisms for identifying the optimal route are dominant. However, this approach oversimplifies such a complex decision by ignoring the fact that participating devices may have consi...

Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. (2007)
Journal Article
Migas, N., Anastasiadou, C., & Buchanan, W. J. (2007). Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. Information Systems,

This paper argues that despite the wide adoption of Internet technologies in destination marketing, information is still disseminated through printed brochures that have largely remained unchanged and unaffected by the trend towards greater personali...

ECBS 2006. 13th Annual IEEE International Symposium and Workshop on (8-22). https://doi.org/10.1109/ecbs.2006.23

Multi-hop ad-hoc routing is a challenging issue, because of the dynamic network topology, and limited capabilities of resource-constrained mobile devices. This paper proposes a metric-driven clustering organisation of participating nodes which provid...

Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework. (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Buchanan, W. J., Graves, J., Saliou, L., Sebea, A. L., & Migas, N. (2005). Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework.

Forensics investigations can be flawed for many reasons, such as that they can lack any real evidence of an incident. Also, it can be the case that the legal rights of an individual has been breached, or that the steps taken in the investigation cann...

Analysis of an agent-based metric-driven method for ad-hoc, on-demand routing (2005)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., Migas, N., Sinclair, G., & McArtney, K. (2006). Analysis of an agent-based metric-driven method for ad-hoc, on-demand routing. Ad hoc networks, 4(2), 147-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adhoc.2004.04.009

Ad-hoc networks could bring many benefits over traditional, fixed networks. Unfortunately, they have many difficulties, including the selection of the optimal route, the availability of routes as mobile nodes move around the physical space, and probl...
