Process architectures in higher education (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Beeson, I., Green, S., & Kamm, R. (2009, March). Process architectures in higher education. Paper presented at UK Academy for Information Systems Conference Proceedings 2009. Paper 11, St Annes College, Oxford University, UK

We have used the business process modelling method ‘Riva’ to model processes of programme management in two UK universities. The method depends on the identification of ‘essential business entities’ as the basis for defining a process architecture.... Read More about Process architectures in higher education.

Towards immunizing MANET's source routing protocols against packet droppers (2009)
Journal Article
Djenouri, D., Bouamama, M., & Mahmoudi, O. (2009). Towards immunizing MANET's source routing protocols against packet droppers. Journal of Interconnection Networks, 10(1-2), 59-91. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219265909002443

This paper deals with security of routing protocols of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), and proposes a solution to immunize such protocols against packet dropping misbehavior. Most of the current secure protocols are vulnerable to packet dropping mis... Read More about Towards immunizing MANET's source routing protocols against packet droppers.

Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media (2009)
Journal Article

Spontaneous spiral formation occurs when an excitation wave is input to a heterogeneous network of low- and high-light-intensity cells projected onto a light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The range of network conditions where spirals form... Read More about Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media.

Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum spans sources of nutrients and constructs varieties of protoplasmic networks during its foraging behavior. When the plasmodium is placed on a substrate populated with sources of nutrients, it spans the sources with...

Implementation of glider guns in the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2009)
Journal Article

In cellular automata models a glider gun is an oscillating pattern of nonquiescent states that periodically emits traveling localizations (gliders). The glider streams can be combined to construct functionally complete systems of logical gates and th...

Traditional Boolean networks consist of nodes within a single network, each updating synchronously, although asynchronous versions have also been presented. In this paper the dynamics of two, mutually coupled traditional networks are investigated. In... Read More about On minimally coupled boolean networks.

Evaluating Learning Style Personalization in Adaptive Systems: Quantitative Methods and Approaches (2009)
Journal Article

It is a widely held assumption that learning style is a useful model for quantifying user characteristics for effective personalized learning. We set out to challenge this assumption by discussing the current state of the art in relation to quantitat...
