Researchers have developed a new analytical method that opens the door to faster processing of large amounts of information, with applications in fields as diverse as the military, medical diagnostics and homeland security.
As cloud computing moves data and services from local systems to remote centers, the question of security for organizations must be addressed. A research paper suggests that a cloud-free security model is the best way forward and will circumvent the fact that cloud service providers are not yet meeting regulations…
A group of computer scientists have found a way to tame multiprocessor computers, which behave in wildly unpredictable ways even as the systems become widespread in the industry.
Recent emergency situations that have arisen in the UK, including severe flooding, extreme weather, and even terrorist attacks have highlighted repeatedly just how vulnerable some sections of society can be in such circumstances. UK researchers suggest that wireless technology could hold the key to remedying this problem.
The most common digital security technique used to protect both media copyright and Internet communications has a major weakness, computer scientists have discovered.
Online social networks could help with communications and recovery for people with disabilities following major natural disasters, or even terrorist attack, according a new research paper.
It is not enough to have a Braille keyboard or a computer that speaks. Until the Internet can better adapt to their needs, people with disabilities will continue to have a big disadvantage with respect to other users. New research in Spain addresses this complicated relationship.
A straight line may be the shortest path from A to B, but it's not always the most reliable or efficient way to go. In fact, depending on what's traveling where, the best route may run in circles, according to a new model that bucks decades of theorizing on the…
A scientific paper that describes a file format used by scientists to represent models of biological processes has exceeded 500 citations. The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is designed to enable the exchange of quantitative models of biochemical networks between different computer software packages, allowing the models to be shared…
Researchers are developing a standard policy language to achieve flexible and dynamic Web security when information is shared between agencies, countries and organizations.
Posh cars already learn how you like your seat and steering wheel adjusted. The next generation of cars may be smart enough to learn how you drive and warn you when you’re not driving safely.
A completely novel approach to analyzing time-lapse images of live stem cell behaviors has yielded a tool for successfully predicting outcomes of stem and progenitor cells. It will allow scientists to search for mechanisms that control stem cell specialization, the main obstacle in advancing the use of stem cell therapy…
Computer scientists have shown how a familiar type of personal computer security threat can now attack new generations of smart mobile phones, with the potential to cause more serious consequences. The researchers demonstrated how such a software attack could cause a smart phone to eavesdrop on a meeting, track its…
A new algorithm improve computer graphics for video games.
Medical researchers have developed a technique for automatically controlling anaesthesia during surgical operations. The new system detects the hypnotic state of the patient at all times and supplies the most appropriate dose of anaesthetic.
Thank you for stopping by! Here you can find my gallery of projects, ramblings about work in general, and the tools I use for success.
