Mobile agents for routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., Buchanan, W. J., & McArtney, K. (2003, April). Mobile agents for routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks

Wireless networks and the usage of mobile devices are becoming popular in recent days, especially in creating ad-hoc networks. There is thus scope for developing mobile systems, where devices take an active part of creating a network infrastructure,...

Towards reusable and reconfigurable models for the WWW (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brown, E., & Buchanan, W. (2002, August). Towards reusable and reconfigurable models for the WWW. Presented at 26th Annual International Computer Software and Applications, Oxford, UK

Reuse and component design have extensively been applied to software engineering, but reuse and formal design methods in WWW-based system is still in its infancy. Most WWW developers currently design WWW content for the most efficient delivery and do... Read More about Towards reusable and reconfigurable models for the WWW.

An intelligent agent security intrusion system (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pikoulas, J., Buchanan, W., Mannion, M., & Triantafyllopoulos, K. (2002, April). An intelligent agent security intrusion system. Presented at Ninth Annual IEEE International Conference and Workshop on the Engineering of Computer-Based Systems, Lund, Sweden

Network security has now become one of the most important aspects in computer systems and the Internet. Apart from strong encryption, there is no definite method of truly securing network, thus they must be protected at different levels of the OSI mo...

An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pikoulas, J., Buchanan, W. J., Mannion, M., & Triantafyllopoulos, K. (2001, April). An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. Presented at ECBS 2001

Security has become a major issue in many organisations, but most systems still rely on operating systems, and a user ID and password system to provide user authentication and validation. They also tend to be centralized in their approach which makes... Read More about An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security..
