One of the key concerns of implementing multitenancy (i.e., serving multiple tenants with a single instance of an application) on the cloud is how to enable the required degree of isolation between tenants, so that the required performance of one ten...

Generating easy and hard problems using the proximate optimality principle. [Dataset] (2015)
Dataset
MCCALL, J.A.W., CHRISTIE, L.A. and BROWNLEE, A.E.I. 2015. Generating easy and hard problems using the proximate optimality principle. [Dataset]

These data were gathered to investigate the hypothesis that coherent functions will be easy and anti-coherent functions will be hard for a hillclimber. We generated 10 coherent functions for each length on bit-strings of length 6-100 and the same num... Read More about Generating easy and hard problems using the proximate optimality principle.

Ethical dilemmas and dimensions in penetration testing. (2015)
Conference Proceeding
FAILY, S., MCALANEY, J. and IACOB, C. 2015. Ethical dilemmas and dimensions in penetration testing. In Furnell, S.M. and Clarke, N.L. (eds.) Proceedings of the 9th International symposium on human aspects of information security and assurance (HAISA 2015), 1-3 July 2015, Mytilene, Greece. Plymouth: Plymouth University, pages 233-242.

Penetration testers are required to attack systems to evaluate their security, but without engaging in unethical behaviour while doing so. Despite work on hacker values and studies into security practice, there is little literature devoted to the eth... Read More about Ethical dilemmas and dimensions in penetration testing..
