COMP6049 Approaching Surveys - Purpose, Paradigms Protocols and Pragmatics

An introduction for students intending to design and conduct a survey. This is the prelude to a practical group activity.

Interviews And Focus Groups: Purpose Paradigms Protocols and Pragmatics

Introduction to interview data, how it is used and how and why it might be collected

Hiding routing information

This is the original "onion routing" paper, it explains in the details how onions are built and work. This is optional reading, although I strongly advise you to read the Introduction and section 3 "Onions"

Methodolology for writing protocols

Environmental sensing with the Internet of Things

Abstract: After developing many sensor networks using custom protocols to save energy and minimise code complexity - we have now experimented with standards-based designs. These use IPv6 (6LowPAN), RPL routing, Coap for interfaces and data access and protocol buffers for data encapsulation. Deployments in the Cairngorm mountains have shown the capabilities and limitations of the implementations. This seminar will outline the hardware and software we used and discuss the advantages of the more standards-based approach. At the same time we have been progressing with high quality imaging of cultural heritage using the RTIdomes - so some results and designs will be shown as well. So this seminar will cover peat-bogs to museums, binary-HTTP-like REST to 3500 year old documents written on clay.
