U-Prove Based Security Framework for Mobile Device Authentication in eHealth Networks (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zeb, K., Saleem, K., Al Muhtadi, J., & Thuemmler, C. (2016, September). U-Prove Based Security Framework for Mobile Device Authentication in eHealth Networks. Presented at 2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)

Cybersecurity in the health care domain is one of the most important and critical issues of this era. In fact, it was reported in 2014 that on the black market medical records are worth 10 times more than credit card details [1]. Datasets experience...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarke, R. A., & Wigan, M. (2008, July). You are where you have been. Presented at Seminar on 'Location Privacy'

Location is a critical aspect of both privacy and surveillance. A detailed record of locations allows all sorts of other information to be linked together, adding to information about the subject and his or her associates in the same way that a uniq... Read More about You are where you have been..

A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture (2008)
Thesis
Weir, R. A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2445

Living in the Information Age, organisations must be able to exploit their data alongside the traditional economic resources of man, machine and money. Accordingly, organisations implement data warehouses to organise and consolidate their data, which... Read More about A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture.

A survey of the current state-of-the-a... Read More about Evolutionary scheduling: a review..

Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. (2004)
Journal Article
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2004). Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. Journal of universal computer science J. UCS, 10, 967-984. https://doi.org/10.3217/jucs-010-08-0967

This paper provides guidelines and examples for visualising lexical relations using Formal Concept Analysis. Relations in lexical databases often form trees, imperfect trees or poly-hierarchies which can be embedded into concept lattices. Many-to-man...

Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines (1996)
Journal Article
Bates, C., Jelly, I., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines. Distributed and Parallel Databases, 4(1), 5-23. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00122146

Parallel servers offer improved processing power for relational database systems and provide system scalability. In order to support the users of these systems, new ways of assessing the performance of such machines are required. If these assessments...
