Affect and dialogue in collaborative cross-disciplinary research: Developing interactive public art on Cardiff Bay Barrage (2017)
Journal Article
Entwistle, A., Burrows, I., Carroll, F., Thomas, N., Ware, M., & Loudon, G. (2020). Affect and dialogue in collaborative cross-disciplinary research: Developing interactive public art on Cardiff Bay Barrage. Open Cultural Studies, 1(1), 576-590. https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2017-0055

Where Cartesian philosophy distinguishes the perceiving and perceptual mind from the body, phenomenology constitutes the experiential/experiencing body as the subject, giving rise to the affective potential of art. An immersive world of digital conne... Read More about Affect and dialogue in collaborative cross-disciplinary research: Developing interactive public art on Cardiff Bay Barrage.

A trust-based method for mitigating cache poisoning in Name Data Networking (2017)
Journal Article
Rezaeifar, Z., Wang, J., & Oh, H. (2018). A trust-based method for mitigating cache poisoning in Name Data Networking. Journal of Network and Computer Applications, 104, 117-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnca.2017.12.013

Mitigating Cache poisoning in Name Data Networking (NDN) can significantly improve the effect of ubiquitous data caching, which is a prominent feature in NDN. However, since verification signatures cannot be practical in the network routers, finding... Read More about A trust-based method for mitigating cache poisoning in Name Data Networking.
