Do web pages have personalities? (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Wilson, L. (2009, September). Do web pages have personalities?

We are fundamentally social animals: we are geared to understanding each other; to gauging each other's moods and states of mind; and we are very adept at judging each others personalities. This ability to judge personality can also be generalized to... Read More about Do web pages have personalities?.

An integrated firewall policy validation tool (2009)
Thesis
Macfarlane, R. An integrated firewall policy validation tool. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3971

Security policies are increasingly being implemented by organisations. Policies are mapped to device configurations to enforce the policies. This is typically performed manually by network administrators. The development and management of these enfor... Read More about An integrated firewall policy validation tool.

Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques (2009)
Thesis
Graves, J. Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6699

Digital Forensics is a nascent field that faces a number of technical, procedural and cultural difficulties that must be overcome if it is to be recognised as a scientific discipline, and not just an art. Technical problems involve the need to develo... Read More about Forensic verification of operating system activity via novel data, acquisition and analysis techniques.

Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cruickshank, P., & Smith, C. F. (2009, September). Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions

E-petitions are seen as one response to a perceived decline in public trust of political institutions and the associated symptoms of disengagement. In this paper, some current research into epetitioning in Europe is reviewed, and the need to understa... Read More about Self-efficacy as a factor in the evaluation of e-petitions..

Operational optimisation of water distribution networks (2009)
Thesis
Lopez-Ibanez, M. Operational optimisation of water distribution networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3044

Water distribution networks are a fundamental part of any modern city and their daily operations constitute a significant expenditure in terms of energy and maintenance costs. Careful scheduling of pump operations may lead to significant energy savin... Read More about Operational optimisation of water distribution networks.

FH-MAC: A Multi-Channel Hybrid MAC Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks (2009)
Journal Article
Tandjaoui, D., Doudou, M., & Romdhani, I. (2009). FH-MAC: A Multi-Channel Hybrid MAC Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks. International Journal of Grid and High Performance Computing, 1(4), 40-56. https://doi.org/10.4018/jghpc.2009070804

In this article, the authors propose a new hybrid MAC protocol named H-MAC for wireless mesh networks. This protocol combines CSMA and TDMA schemes according to the contention level. In addition, it exploits channel diversity and provides a medium ac... Read More about FH-MAC: A Multi-Channel Hybrid MAC Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks.

Refactoring data transforms in MaTSE for flexibility. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., & Kennedy, J. (2009, October). Refactoring data transforms in MaTSE for flexibility

In early prototypes of the Microarray Time-series Explorer
(MaTSE) data transforms were tightly coupled with visualisation components. While this allowed us to achieve our initial objective of developing the application to the level where we were ab... Read More about Refactoring data transforms in MaTSE for flexibility..

Wizard of Oz experiments allow designers and developers to
see the reactions of people as they interact with to-bedeveloped
technologies. At the Centre for Interaction Design at
Edinburgh Napier University we are developing a Wizard of Oz
system... Read More about Wizard of Oz experiments for Companions..

Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour (2009)
Thesis
Reichert, T. Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2827

This work presents the development of a three-dimensional lattice material model for wood and its application to timber joints including the potential strengthening benefit of second order effects. A lattice of discrete elements was used to capture t... Read More about Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour.
