Visualizing the insider threat: Challenges and tools for identifying malicious user activity (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Legg, P. (2015, October). Visualizing the insider threat: Challenges and tools for identifying malicious user activity. Paper presented at IEEE Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security, Chicago, Illinois, USA

One of the greatest challenges for managing organisational cyber security is the threat that comes from those who operate within the organisation. With entitled access and knowledge of organisational processes, insiders who choose to attack have the...

From hiscore to high marks: Empirical study of teaching programming through gamification (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fotaris, P., Mastoras, T., Leinfellner, R., & Yasmine, R. (2015, October). From hiscore to high marks: Empirical study of teaching programming through gamification. Paper presented at 9th European Conference on Games Based Learning ECGBL 2015, Steinkjer, Norway

Unlike conventional taught learning, video games are very successful at keeping players constantly motivated and engaged on a set of tasks for many hours without apparent loss of focus. Additionally, when playing, gamers solve complex problems withou... Read More about From hiscore to high marks: Empirical study of teaching programming through gamification.

Visualising software as a particle system (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Scarle, S., & Walkinshaw, N. (2015, September). Visualising software as a particle system. Presented at VISSOFT 2015, Bremen, Germany

Current metrics-based approaches to visualise unfamiliar software systems face two key limitations: (1) They are limited in terms of the number of dimensions that can be projected, and (2) they use fixed layout algorithms where the resulting position...

Simple synchronisation for open sound control (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Madgwick, S. O. H., Mitchell, T. J., Barreto, C., & Freed, A. (2015, September). Simple synchronisation for open sound control. Paper presented at 41st International Computer Music Conference 2015, Texas, USA

Clock synchronisation is a mature and important aspect of distributed computing systems. Despite the importance of accurate timing in music, there are relatively few widely applicable synchronisation solutions available to computer music practitioner...

Quasi-Hamming distances: An overarching concept for measuring glyph similarity (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Legg, P. A., Maguire, E., Walton, S., & Chen, M. (2015, September). Quasi-Hamming distances: An overarching concept for measuring glyph similarity. Paper presented at EGUK Computer Graphics and Visual Computing 2015, UCL, London, UK

In many applications of spatial or temporal visualization, glyphs provide an effective means for encoding mul- tivariate data objects. However, because glyphs are typically small, they are vulnerable to various perceptual errors. In data communicatio...

A mobile homeostat with three degrees of freedom (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Battle, S. (2015, September). A mobile homeostat with three degrees of freedom. Paper presented at IMA Conference on Mathematics of Robotics, St Anne’s College, University of Oxford, UK

In the foundational cybernetics text, Design for a Brain, W. Ross Ashby introduces an adaptive system called the homeostat, and speculates about the possibility of creating a mobile homeostat “with its critical states set so that it seeks situations...

Comportamiento colectivo no trivial en sistemas complejos con mini-robots (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Martinez, G. J., & Adamatzky, A. (2015, September). Comportamiento colectivo no trivial en sistemas complejos con mini-robots. Presented at ESCOM IPN seminar, Mexico City, Mexico

Se discutirá el problema del fenómeno "comportamiento colectivo no trivial", frecuentemente referido como auto-organización, en sistemas complejos analizado a través de mini-robots. Durante la conferencia se presentarán algunos prototipos desarrollad... Read More about Comportamiento colectivo no trivial en sistemas complejos con mini-robots.

Further towards sonifications of elemental ecological systems/relationships: Salt marsh ecology experiments in temporal immersion and exchange (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Palmer (nee Reiser), M., & Jones, O. (2015, September). Further towards sonifications of elemental ecological systems/relationships: Salt marsh ecology experiments in temporal immersion and exchange. Paper presented at RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, University of Exeter, UK

In this paper we seek to further develop the concept/methodology of data sonification (see Palmer and Jones 2014) as an experimental aesthetic, geo-poetic, and techno-scientific creative procedure for making explicit the generative processuality of e...

Incorporating semantics in pattern-based scientific workflow recommender systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Soomro, K., Munir, K., & McClatchey, R. (2015, July). Incorporating semantics in pattern-based scientific workflow recommender systems. Paper presented at IEEE Science and Information Conference 2015, London, UK

Recommender systems are used to enable decision support. Using them to assist users when designing scientific workflows introduces a number of challenges. These include selecting appropriate components and specifying correct parameter values. Pattern... Read More about Incorporating semantics in pattern-based scientific workflow recommender systems.

Computing with virtual cellular automata collider (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Martinez, G. J., Adamatzky, A., & McIntosh, H. V. (2015, July). Computing with virtual cellular automata collider. Paper presented at Science and Information Conference 2015, London, United Kingdom

We present computer models of nano-scale computing circuits based on propagation of localised excitations or defects in complexes of polymer chain rings. A cyclotron automata are sets of rings of one-dimensional array of finite states (cellular autom... Read More about Computing with virtual cellular automata collider.
