- Detecting and Investigating Wireless LAN Security
Breaches (2005-12-08)
Abstract: The rapid growth in wireless networking technologies has taken
place against a backdrop of inherent security issues and new types of
attack. Poor understanding of these issues combined with the ability of
attackers to operate wirelessly from a distance presents many challenges
for the investigator attempting to detect, verify and gather evidence of
such attacks. This paper analyses the security issues and possible
attacks, and examines how they may be investigated.
- Using SVG for Interactive Maps (2006-05-26)
Abstract: Geographical mapping systems are an obvious application of the
SVG open vector graphics standard. Potentially heterogeneous client
systems can render cartographical information as appropriate and
client-side scripting allows the possibility of direct user interaction
with the information in the same way we expect from Web pages today.
However, implementation of this standard has been slow and its use
restricted to niche applications. This paper examines the technology and
its use for interactive mapping applications to examine the status of
adoption so far and future directions.
- XML in Mobile

Some general slides on XML made for a study group. There is further
information contained in the notes for each slide.
