SRG Seminar: Investigation of Virtual Network Isolation Security in Cloud Computing Using Penetration Testing by Haifa Al Nasseri

csblog |

Software Defined Networking (SDN) or Virtual Networks (VNs) are required for cloud tenants to leverage demands. However, multi-tenancy can be compromised without proper isolation. Much research has been conducted into VN Isolation; many researchers are not tackling security aspects or checking if their isolation evaluation is complete. Therefore, data leakage is a major security concern … SRG Seminar: Investigation of Virtual Network Isolation Security in Cloud Computing Using Penetration Testing by Haifa Al Nasseri

Workshop on Considering Technology through a Philosophical Lens

csblog |

Technology fundamentally shapes our communication, relationships, and access to information. It also evolves through our interaction with it. Dialoguing across disciplines can facilitate an understanding of these complex and reciprocal relationships and fuel reflection and innovation. This hands-on, participant-driven and experimental workshop will start a discussion of what can come from considering technology through a … Workshop on Considering Technology through a Philosophical Lens

Junior Honours: Software Team Project 2017

lisa |

Earlier today our Junior Honours students presented their Team Projects. The projects involve substantial team based software engineering and rely heavily on collaborative development. There are many aspects of software and professional development along with considerable inter-team and intra-team collaborations. This year the students were asked to develop a version of the Settlers of Catan … Junior Honours: Software Team Project 2017

Translational Neuroimaging Based Psychiatric Research Computational methods are having a considerable influence on contemporary neuroscience research: in data collection (non-invasive functional brain imaging), data analysis and computational modelling of healthy and abnormal brain and behaviour. The presentation is in two parts. Part 1 is an overview of the current main computational-neuroscience areas in research. Part … Translational Research into Common Psychiatric Disorders, Professor Douglas Steele, Professor of Neuroimaging / Consultant Psychiatrist, University of Dundee

SRG Seminar: “Evaluating Data Linkage: Creation and use of synthetic data for comprehensive linkage evaluation” by Tom Dalton and “Container orchestration” by Uchechukwu Awada

csblog |

The abstract of Tom’s talk: “Data linkage approaches are often evaluated with small or few data sets. If a linkage approach is to be used widely, quantifying its performance with varying data sets would be beneficial. In addition, given a data set needs to be linked, the true links are by definition unknown. The success … SRG Seminar: “Evaluating Data Linkage: Creation and use of synthetic data for comprehensive linkage evaluation” by Tom Dalton and “Container orchestration” by Uchechukwu Awada
