Conference contribution. https://doi.org/10.25416/NTR.14907891.v1   Link:  https://figshare.edgehill.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/REFERENCING_WITHIN_CODE_IN_SOFTWARE_ENGINEERING_EDUCATION/14907891 One of the authors now works for Canterbury Christ Church University @CanterburyCCUni Abstract: Traditionally computer sciences courses will assess software code. It is common and accepted good practice (as in written reports) to reference other sources of appropriate material. However, there appears to be no explicit method, recommendation or advice available to computer science tutors and students on a referencing approach! This paper aims to stimulate discussion from peers involved in software engineering education. By discussing the apparent lack of ‘referencing within code’ advice to students and proposing suggestions for appropriate...

  Title Using digital technologies to provide a sense of normality Authors Ward, G. Keywords Covid-19 Remote working Work from home Technology adoption Year 2020 Official URL    https://blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/expertcomment/using-digital-technologies-to-provide-a-sense-of-normality/ . Gareth Ward looks at how universities and businesses have adapted to an online culture. https://blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/expertcomment/using-digital-technologies-to-provide-a-sense-of-normality/ . Since the initial lockdown in March 2020, the UK has experienced significant change in how working from home has been viewed as a society, with the realisation that many roles are able to still create value without the need to be tied to working in an office environment.

  Chapter title Security vulnerabilities of popular smart home appliances Authors Qi, M. ,  Induruwa, A.  and  Hussain, F. Abstract A Smart Home essentially is a communication network that connects smart devices, sensors and actuators enabling the owner to locally and remotely access, monitor and control them. However, SHs are currently facing increasing challenges due to the underlying home automation systems which are affected by network security issues. This paper presents a SH testbed comprising SH devices that employ the IEEE 802.11 standard protocol for communication. Comprehensive tests were conducted with an aim to observe and understand vulnerabilities that exist in smart device networks when they are attacked using different types of attacks such as Eavesdropping, Denial of Service (DoS), and Man-In-The-Middle (MITM). This paper reports and discusses the findings obtained from these experiments. Keywords Smart homes Device vulnerabilities Smart home testbed...

  Title BCI controlled robotic arm as assistance to the rehabilitation of neurologically disabled patients Authors Azhar, H. Description This presentation summarises the development of a portable and cost-efficient BCI controlled assistive technology using a non-invasive BCI headset 'OpenBCI' and an open source robotic arm, U-Arm, to accomplish tasks related to rehabilitation, such as access to resources, adaptability or home use. The resulting system used a combination of EEG and EMG sensor readings to control the arm, which could perform a number of different tasks such as picking/placing objects or assist users in eating. Link:  https://researchspace.canterbury.ac.uk/8x91v/bci-controlled-robotic-arm-as-as Purpose: Brain–computer interface (BCI)-controlled assistive robotic systems have been developed with increasing success with the aim to rehabilitation of patients after brain injury to increase independence and quality of life. While such systems may use surgically implan...
