Towards the provision of site specific flood warnings using wireless sensor networks. (2009)
Smith, Paul J., Hughes, Danny, Beven, Keith J., Cross, Philip, Tych, Wlodek, Coulson, Geoff, ...
An important aspect of flood risk management is the issuing of timely flood alerts. The spatial, as well as temporal, scale of these warnings is important. In many situations efficient risk...
Socio-Technical Issues in P2P File Sharing Systems (2008)
Danny Hughes, James Walkerdine, Kevin Lee
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems emphasise co-operation between entities known as peers at the edge of the Internet that are essentially equal and can both require and provide services [1]. Since the...
Monitoring Challenges and Approaches for P2P File-Sharing Systems (2008)
Since the release of Napster in 1999, P2P file-sharing has enjoyed a dramatic rise in popularity. A 2000 study by Plonka on the University of Wisconsin campus network found that file-sharing...
An Intelligent and Adaptable Grid-based Flood Monitoring and Warning System (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Smith, Keith Beven
Flooding is a growing problem in the UK. It has a significant effect on residents, businesses and commuters in flood-prone areas. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the...
An Experiment with Reflective Middleware to Support Grid-based Flood Monitoring (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Grace, Paul Smith, ...
Flooding is a growing problem, which affects more than 10 % of the UK population. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the warning time given before a flood event, making...
Middleware Support for Dynamic Reconfiguration in Sensor Networks (2008)
Paul Grace, Danny Hughes, Barry Porter, Geoff Coulson, Gordon Blair
The operational environments of sensor networks will alter over time, often due to hazardous conditions or fluctuating resource availability; however this important characteristic of sensor networks...
An Open Tracing System for P2P File Sharing Systems (2008)
Danny Hughes, James Walkerdine
Abstract — This paper describes the Open P2P tracing system which aims to improve the research community’s understanding of P2P file sharing systems by providing continuous and up-todate traffic...
Visualizing the Analysis of Dynamically Adaptive Systems Using i * and DSLs ∗ (2008)
Pete Sawyer, Nelly Bencomo, Danny Hughes, Paul Grace, Heather J. Goldsby
Self-adaptation is emerging as a crucial enabling capability for many applications, particularly those deployed in dynamically changing environments. One key challenge posed by Dynamically Adaptive...
An Intelligent and Adaptable Grid-based Flood Monitoring and Warning System (DRAFT) (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Smith, Keith Beven
Flooding is a growing problem in the UK. It has a significant effect on residents, businesses and commuters in flood-prone areas. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the...
An Adaptable WSN-based Flood Monitoring System (2008)
Danny Hughes, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Phil Greenwood, Barry Porter, Paul Smith, ...
Abstract. Flooding is a serious and increasing problem. As a result, there is a need to deploy more sophisticated sensor networks to detect and react to flooding. This paper outlines a demonstration...
Using a Grid-Enabled Wireless Sensor Network for Flood Management (2008)
Phil Greenwood, Danny Hughes, Barry Porter, Paul Grace, Geoff Coulson, Gordon Blair, ...
Flooding is becoming an increasing problem. As a result there is a need to deploy more sophisticated sensor networks to detect and react to flooding. This paper outlines a demonstration that...
The Effect of Viral Media on Business Usage of P2P (2008)
Danny Hughes, James Walkerdine, Kevin Lee
P2P file-sharing poses a number of serious problems for business network administrators including: unpredictable network usage, increased vulnerability to security threats and the danger of legal...
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Geoff Coulson, Gordon Blair
The cost of damage caused by flooding is directly related to the warning-time given before a flood occurs. Therefore, improving the coverage, accuracy and reliability of flood prediction systems is...
Dynamic reconfiguration in sensor middleware (2006)
Paul Grace, Geoff Coulson, Gordon Blair, Barry Porter, Danny Hughes
Middleware solutions for sensor networks have so far mainly focused on communication abstractions, ad-hoc message routing protocols, and power conservation techniques. We argue that customisation and...
Using Grid Technologies to Optimise a Wireless Sensor Network for Flood Management (2006)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Barry Porter, Paul Grace, Geoff Coulson, Gordon Blair, ...
Current approaches to flood monitoring (e.g. in river valleys) involve statically deploying depth and ultrasoundbased flow sensors across flood-prone areas, and feeding the collected data off-site...
