Enhancing network management using mobile agents. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Naylor, M., & Scott, A. (2000, April). Enhancing network management using mobile agents

Agent mobility addresses some limitations faced by classic client/server architecture, namely, in minimising bandwidth consumption, in supporting adaptive network load balancing and in solving problems caused by intermittent or unreliable network con...

Software agents and computer network security. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pikoulas, J., Mannion, M., & Buchanan, W. J. (2000, April). Software agents and computer network security

Preventing unauthorised access to corporate information systems is essential for many organisations. To address this problem we built a security enhancement software system using software agents, in which a core software agent resides on a server and...

Truly distributed control systems using fieldbus technology. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scott, A., & Buchanan, W. J. (2000, April). Truly distributed control systems using fieldbus technology

This paper outlines the three main field bus type standards: FOUNDATION Fieldbus; WorldFIP; and the CAN bus, each of which have great advantages over traditional instrumentation networking technology. The paper shows, using their specification, how t... Read More about Truly distributed control systems using fieldbus technology..

Advanced PC architecture. (2000)
Book
Buchanan, W. J., & Wilson, A. (2000). Advanced PC architecture. Addison Wesley

The first book ever to give a complete picture of the workings of a PC! A comprehensive guide to the component systems of the PC, this book provides a foundation to the understanding of previous, current and future PC systems, and how the specificati... Read More about Advanced PC architecture..

Computer Busses: design and application. (2000)
Book
Buchanan, W. J. (2000). Computer Busses: design and application. CRC Press

The computer bus is the foundation of the modern computer. Without busses, a computer would just be a bundle of components. As more and more equipment becomes interface driven-either through controllers or directly to and from PCs-the question of whi... Read More about Computer Busses: design and application..

Speed improvements for the RSA encryption method (2000)
Thesis
Wang, H.-C. Speed improvements for the RSA encryption method. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4065

This thesis presents methods that can be used to improve the operation of the RSA encryption method. It shows the principles of encryption, and then expands this to give the operation of public-key methods, which includes the number value theorems ap...

Investigation, analysis and determination of inclusions in high‐tolerance board design (2000)
Journal Article
Scott, A., & Buchanan, W. J. (2000). Investigation, analysis and determination of inclusions in high‐tolerance board design. Circuit World, 26(2), 7-9. https://doi.org/10.1108/03056120010310873

This paper outlines the inclusions in laminates that can cause the false rejection in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacture. Laminate inclusions are now becoming prevalent because of the higher resolution required for the inspection of reduced trac...
