Shoulder-surfing is a known risk where an attacker can capture a password by direct observation or by recording the authentication session. Due to the visual interface, this problem has become exacerbated in graphical passwords. There have been some... Read More about A new graphical password scheme resistant to shoulder-surfing.

The great deluge algorithm explores neighbouring solutions which are accepted if they are better than the best solution so far or if the detriment in quality is no larger than the current water level. In the original great deluge method, the water le... Read More about Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling.

Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hu, L., & Hutton, G. (2010). Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

The standard approach to proving compiler correctness for concurrent languages requires the use of multiple translations into an intermediate process calculus. We present a simpler approach that avoids the need for such an intermediate language, usin... Read More about Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Terrazas, G., Landa-Silva, D., & Krasnogor, N. (2010). Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly.
