Implementation of combined geolocation database and infrastructure sensing in TV bands using different spectrum devices (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fanan, A., Riley, N. G., Mehdawi, M., & Alfahad, O. (in press). Implementation of combined geolocation database and infrastructure sensing in TV bands using different spectrum devices. In Proceedings of the 25th Telecommunications forum TELFOR 2017

—In the present day, the TV Band has become a realistic option and has attracted much attention due to the potential to exploit underutilized TV white space for other communications, based on time and location. In this paper, we design a flexible sys... Read More about Implementation of combined geolocation database and infrastructure sensing in TV bands using different spectrum devices.

LizBOT design and prototyping of a wireless controlled wall climbing surveillance robot (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ali, N., Zafar, U., Ahmad, S., Iqbal, J., & Khan, Z. H. (2017). LizBOT design and prototyping of a wireless controlled wall climbing surveillance robot. In International Conference on Communication Technologies (ComTech 2017) (210-215). https://doi.org/10.1109/COMTECH.2017.8065776

LizBOT is an indigenously developed innovative surveillance robot that can climb on a wall and other high rise buildings where the human intervention is either cumbersome or not possible. To keep the robot stuck with the wall, a suction force is requ... Read More about LizBOT design and prototyping of a wireless controlled wall climbing surveillance robot.

This paper describes how the recurrent connectionist architecture epiNet, which is capable of dynamically modifying its topology, is able to provide a form of transparent execution. EpiNet, which is inspired by eukaryotic gene regulation in nature, i... Read More about Transparency Of Execution Using Epigenetic Networks.

Model-connected safety cases (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Retouniotis, A., Papadopoulos, Y., Sorokos, I., Parker, D., Matragkas, N., & Sharvia, S. (2017). Model-connected safety cases. Lecture notes in computer science, 10437 LNCS, 50-63. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64119-5_4

© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG. We propose the concept of a model-connected safety case that could simplify certification of complex systems. System design models support the synthesis of both the structure of the safety case and the ev... Read More about Model-connected safety cases.
