A cloud resource management model for the creation and orchestration of social communities (2014)
Journal Article
Ikram, A., Anjum, A., & Bessis, N. (2015). A cloud resource management model for the creation and orchestration of social communities. Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory, 50, 130-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.simpat.2014.05.003

Managing resources, context and data in mobile clouds is a challenging task. Specific aspects of spontaneity, large interaction space and dynamic interaction share a metaphorical resemblance to chemistry, chemical reactions and solutions. In this pap...

Approaching the internet of things (IoT): A modelling, analysis and abstraction framework (2013)
Journal Article
Ikram, A., Anjum, A., Hill, R., Antonopoulos, N., Liu, L., & Sotiriadis, S. (2015). Approaching the internet of things (IoT): A modelling, analysis and abstraction framework. Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 27(8), 1966-1984. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.3131

The evolution of communication protocols, sensory hardware, mobile and pervasive devices, alongside social and cyber-physical networks, has made the Internet of things (IoT) an interesting concept with inherent complexities as it is realised. Such co... Read More about Approaching the internet of things (IoT): A modelling, analysis and abstraction framework.

Multicast/broadcast network convergence in next generation mobile networks (2008)
Journal Article
Aguiar, R. L., Santos, J., Gomes, D., Sargento, S., Baker, N., Zafar, M., & Ikram, A. (2008). Multicast/broadcast network convergence in next generation mobile networks. Computer Networks, 52(1), 228-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comnet.2007.09.002

The 3GPP Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) aims to introduce group communications into the 3G networks. One of the current key challenges is how to evolve these incipient features towards the "beyond 3G vision" of a converged global netwo...
