Occupancy detection in non-residential buildings – A survey and novel privacy preserved occupancy monitoring solution (2018)
Journal Article
Ahmad, J., Larijani, H., Emmanuel, R., Mannion, M., & Javed, A. (2018). Occupancy detection in non-residential buildings – A survey and novel privacy preserved occupancy monitoring solution. Applied Computing and Informatics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aci.2018.12.001

Buildings use approximately 40% of global energy and are responsible for almost a third of the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. They also utilise about 60% of the world’s electricity. In the last decade, stringent building regulations have led to...

A new adaptive broadcasting approach for mobile ad hoc networks (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bani Khalaf, M., Al-Dubai, A., & Buchanan, W. J. (2010, June). A new adaptive broadcasting approach for mobile ad hoc networks

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been gaining tremendous attention owing to the advances in wireless technologies accompanied by many applications and implementations. However, there are still a number of issues in MANETs which require further in... Read More about A new adaptive broadcasting approach for mobile ad hoc networks.

An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. (2006, March). An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing. Presented at 13th Annual IEEE International Symposium and Workshop on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS'06)

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...

Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection] (1999)
Journal Article
Scott, A. V., & Buchanan, W. J. (1999). Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection]. Manufacturing Engineer, 78(4), 154-156. https://doi.org/10.1049/me%3A19990403

The authors look at the causes of a persistent annoyance for manufacturers of printed circuit boards, and suggest some steps that would help to speed inspection and reduce both genuine faults and false rejects from the visual inspection system. This... Read More about Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection].

Anovel parallel processing synchronization method for observing electric fields in and around PCBs (1997)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1997). Anovel parallel processing synchronization method for observing electric fields in and around PCBs. International Journal of Electronics, 82(1), 61-76. https://doi.org/10.1080/002072197136273

The authors have taken the 3D FDTD approach to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within and around printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses...
