Journal Article

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present the effectiveness of participatory information and communication technology (ICT) tools for urban planning, in particular, supporting bottom-up decision-making in urban management and governance. Design/me... Read More about ICT enabled participatory urban planning and policy development: The UrbanAPI project.

A holistic approach for cyber assurance of critical infrastructure with the viable system model (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014. Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) are of the most important components of National Critical Infrastructure. They can provide control capabilities in complex systems of critical importan... Read More about A holistic approach for cyber assurance of critical infrastructure with the viable system model.

Soft systems methodology in net-centric cyber defence system development (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. Complexity is ever increasing within our information environment and organisations, as interdependent dynamic relationships within sociotechnical systems result in high variety and uncertainty from a lack of information or control. A net... Read More about Soft systems methodology in net-centric cyber defence system development.

On the development of automated forensic analysis methods for mobile devices (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We live in a connected world where mobile devices are used by humans as valuable tools. The use of mobile devices leaves traces that can be treasured assets for a forensic analyst. Our aim is to investigate methods and exercise techniques that will m... Read More about On the development of automated forensic analysis methods for mobile devices.

Complexity metrics and user strength perceptions of the pattern-lock graphical authentication method (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

One of the most popular contemporary graphical password approaches is the Pattern-Lock authentication mechanism that comes integrated with the Android mobile operating system. In this paper we investigate the impact of password strength meters on the... Read More about Complexity metrics and user strength perceptions of the pattern-lock graphical authentication method.

Decentralized traceable attribute-based signatures (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We provide a formal security model for traceable attribute-based signatures. Our focus is on the more practical case where attribute management is distributed among different authorities rather than relying on a single central authority. By specializ...

A temporal description logic for resource-bounded rule-based context-aware agents (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. We propose a logical framework for modelling and verifying context-aware multi-agent systems. We extend CTL* with belief and communication modalities, and the resulting logic LOCRS allows us to de...

Scheduling policies based on dynamic throughput and fairness tradeoff control in LTE-A networks (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. In LTE-A cellular networks there is a fundamental trade-off between the cell throughput and fairness levels for preselected users which are sharing the same amount of resources at one transmission time interval (TTI). The static paramete... Read More about Scheduling policies based on dynamic throughput and fairness tradeoff control in LTE-A networks.

DZ50: Energy-efficient wireless sensor mote platform for low data rate applications (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 The Authors. A low cost and energy efficient wireless sensor mote platform for low data rate monitoring applications is presented. The new platform, named DZ50, is based on the ATmega328P micro-controller and the RFM12b transceiver, which cons...
