Israr, A., Poupyrev, I., Ioffreda, C., Cox, J., Gouveia, N., Bowles, H., Brakis, A., Knight, B., Mitchell, K., & Williams, T. (2011, November). Surround Haptics: Sending Shivers Down Your Spine. Presented at SIGGRAPH '11

Surround Haptics is a new tactile technology that uses a low-resolution grid of inexpensive vibrating actuators to generate high-resolution, continuous, moving tactile strokes on human skin [1]. The user would not feel the discrete tactile pulses and... Read More about Surround Haptics: Sending Shivers Down Your Spine.

Affliate advertising fraud and an investigatory fraud framework. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miehling, M. J., Buchanan, W. J., & Lawson, A. (2011, June). Affliate advertising fraud and an investigatory fraud framework. Presented at CyberForensics 2011

This paper outlines the details of a real-life scam, which involves creating fraudulent Web sites which pretend to sell goods, but are actually used to perform click-through crime or use identity fraud to claim commission on the sale of goods. It inv... Read More about Affliate advertising fraud and an investigatory fraud framework..

This article presents a flexible, extendable system called Tracktivity that can capture gameplay metrics in any type of leaderboard-based video game. This system incorporates novel visualizations, including a dynamic competition balancing (DCB) measu... Read More about Capture and analysis of racing gameplay metrics.

A methodology to evaluate rate-based intrusion prevention system against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS). (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Flandrin, F., Macfarlane, R., & Graves, J. (2011, June). A methodology to evaluate rate-based intrusion prevention system against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS). Presented at Cyberforensics 2011

This paper defines a methodology for the evaluation of a Rate-based Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) for a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) threat. This evaluation system uses realistic background traffic along with attacking traffic, with four...

Interactivity to Enhance Perception: Does Increased Interactivity in Mobile Visual Presentation Tools Facilitate More Accurate Rating of Textile Properties? (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Orzechowski, P. M., Atkinson, D., Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., Baurley, S., & Chantler, M. (2011, August). Interactivity to Enhance Perception: Does Increased Interactivity in Mobile Visual Presentation Tools Facilitate More Accurate Rating of Textile Properties?. Presented at MobileHCI'11 Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services, Stockholm, Sweden

To create a better next-generation textile-browsing interface for iOS devices, we need to establish which elements of an interface are responsible for communicating which textile qualities. It has already been shown that interactive decision making a...

Informing design by recording tangible interaction. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., & Oakley, I. (2011, May). Informing design by recording tangible interaction. Presented at Proceedings of the 2011 annual conference extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI EA '11, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Evaluating tangible user interfaces is challenging. Despite the wealth of research describing the design of tangible systems, there is little empirical evidence highlighting the benefits they can confer. This paper presents a toolkit that logs the ma... Read More about Informing design by recording tangible interaction..

Wild networks: the articulation of feedback and evaluation in a creative inter-disciplinary design studio (2011)
Thesis
Joel, S. Wild networks: the articulation of feedback and evaluation in a creative inter-disciplinary design studio. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4578

It is argued that design exists within a collective social network of negotiation, feedback sharing and reflection that is integral to the design process. To encourage this, requires a technological solution that enables designers to access, be aware...
