Journal Article
Common, R. (2004). Organisational learning in a political environment: Improving policy-making in UK government. Policy Studies, 25(1), 35-49. https://doi.org/10.1080/0144287042000208224

This article observes that the political environment will always compromise the application of the organisational learning concept in government. In an attempt to overcome this problem, it seeks to demonstrate that a conceptual synthesis between poli...

Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review (ICARIS) (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., Greensmith, J., & Twycross, J. (2004, September). Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review (ICARIS). Presented at Artificial Immune Systems, Sicily, Italy

The use of artificial immune systems in intrusion detection is an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading pathogens, in a robust, self-organised and dis...
