Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Sherman, G., Aickelin, U., & Menachof, D. Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes. Presented at 10th International Conference on Modeling and Applied Simulation

When planning to change operations at ports there are two key stake holders with very different interests involved in the decision making processes. Port operators are attentive to their standards, a smooth service flow and economic viability while b... Read More about Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes.

Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Gao, H., & Aickelin, U. Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate. Presented at Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security, SOUPS2010

The trend toward a highly mobile workforce and the ubiquity of graphical interfaces (such as the stylus and touch-screen) has enabled the emergence of graphical authentications in Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) [1]. However, most of the current g... Read More about Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate.

Information fusion in the immune system
Journal Article
Twycross, J., & Aickelin, U. Information fusion in the immune system. Information Fusion, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.inffus.2009.04.008

Biologically-inspired methods such as evolutionary algorithms and neural networks are proving useful in
the field of information fusion. Artificial immune systems (AISs) are a biologically-inspired approach which take inspiration from the biological... Read More about Information fusion in the immune system.

Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme
Journal Article
Wang, L., Chang, X., Ren, Z., Haichang, G., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme. https://doi.org/10.1109/AINA.2010.46

Text-based password schemes have inherent security and usability problems, leading to the development of graphical
password schemes. However, most of these alternate schemes are vulnerable to spyware attacks. We propose a new scheme, using CAPTCHA (... Read More about Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme.

Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot
Journal Article
Whitbrook, A., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot. Applied Soft Computing, 10(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc.2009.10.005

A combined short-term learning (STL) and long-term learning (LTL) approach to solving mobile-robot
navigation problems is presented and tested in both the real and virtual domains. The LTL phase consists
of rapid simulations that use a genetic algo... Read More about Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot.

System dynamics modelling of the processes involving the maintenance of the naive T cell repertoire
Book Chapter
Figueredo, G. P., Aickelin, U., & Whitbrook, A. System dynamics modelling of the processes involving the maintenance of the naive T cell repertoire. In Proceedings of the 9th Annual Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI 2009), Nottingham, UK. Intelligent Modelling & Analysis (IMA)

The study of immune system aging, i.e. immunosenescence, is a relatively new research topic. It deals with understanding the processes of immuno-degradation that indicate signs of functionality loss possibly leading to death. Even though it is not po...

PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., Oates, R., & Aickelin, U. PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm. Presented at 9th Annual Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI 2009)

As one of the newest members in the field of articial immune systems (AIS), the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) is
based on behavioural models of natural dendritic cells (DCs). Unlike other AIS, the DCA does not rely on training data, instead domain... Read More about PCA 4 DCA: the application of principal component analysis to the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Aickelin, U., Menachof, D., & Sherman, G. Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline. Presented at 2009 INFORMS Simulation Society Research Workshop: Simulation: At the Interface of Modeling and Analysis

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea
and air ports is unknown as no benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturer benchmarks exist for individual sensors but we have not found any benchmarks that tak... Read More about Modelling and analysing cargo screening processes: a project outline.

Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Sherman, G., & Aickelin, U. Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach. Presented at 6th International Mediterranean Modeling Multiconference (EMSS 2009)

The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea and air ports is largely unknown as few benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturers provide benchmarks for individual sensors but we found no benchmarks that ta... Read More about Development of a cargo screening process simulator: a first approach.
