MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fan, L., Taylor, H., & Trinder, P. (2008, July). MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation. Presented at International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS)

Efficient application-level multicast (ALM) is an important research area supporting applications such as P2P file sharing, multi-player online games, and multimedia streaming. Although some applications only require a best-effort service, others hav... Read More about MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation..

Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kwecka, Z., Buchanan, W. J., & Saliou, L. (2008, June). Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations. Presented at 7th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security

Most organisations relay on digital information systems (ISs) in day-to-day operations, and often sensitive data about employees and customers are stored in such systems. This, effectively, makes ISs enhanced surveillance measures, which can reach fu... Read More about Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations..

A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhao, L., Al-Dubai, A., & Liu, X. (2008, December). A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks. Presented at 9th Annual Postgraduate Symposium, The Convergence of Telecommunications, Networking and Broadcasting

Wireless mesh networks, also known as “community wireless networks”, have been attracting much attention due to its promising technology. It is becoming a major
avenue for the fourth generation of wireless mobility. This is due to the revaluation of... Read More about A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks..

MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks (2008)
Thesis
Migas, N. MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. 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...

Distributed healthcare framework using patient-centric role-based security modelling and workflow (2008)
Thesis
Symes, M. Distributed healthcare framework using patient-centric role-based security modelling and workflow. (Dissertation). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4008

Healthcare professionals are spending less time with patients and more time on administrative duties (Royal College of Nursing, 2008). This is due to a high bureaucratic demand (Brindley, 2007) on the caring process, patient population and longevity...

The impact of routing schemes on group communication throughput in scalable networks. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A. (2008, April). The impact of routing schemes on group communication throughput in scalable networks. Presented at IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008. IPDPS 2008

Multicast communication has been a major avenue for many studies in interconnection networks. However, such a communication pattern has been studied under either limited operating conditions or within the context of deterministic routing algorithms....

Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. J. (2008, April). Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support. Presented at IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008. IPDPS 2008

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...
