Immune system approaches to intrusion detection - a review (2007)
Journal Article
Kim, J., Bentley, P., Aickelin, U., Greensmith, J., Tedesco, G., & Twycross, J. (2007). Immune system approaches to intrusion detection - a review. Natural Computing, 6(4), 413-466

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...

Can open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals coexist? (2007)
Journal Article
Pinfield, S. (2007). Can open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals coexist?. Serials, 20(3),

It is often assumed that open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals are in competition with each other and therefore will in the long term be unable to coexist. This paper takes a critical look at that assumption. It draws on the available e... Read More about Can open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals coexist?.
