Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

I have demonstrated how to represent fraud plans in a generic way so that strategies to combat these plans can be devised. This work is described in a recent paper, Representing, reasoning and predicting fraud using fraud plans. (IEEE Explore digital library access required).

My recent paper on Using Artificial Intelligence to Support Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation is highly applicable to cybersecurity, because data protection breaches often result from failures in cybersecurity.

I have submitted a paper on An AI Advisor for Forensic Computing Procedure.

I have recently supervised student projects on:

• Developing a cyberstalking and harassment advisor
• Online Dating using Wifi for Identity Management

Cybersecurity and Law

Publications (submitted):

Cyber Insurance: A Practical Approach

Do we need a law of information theft?

Knowledge Based Advisory Systems

I have been the Academic Supervisor on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership using AI to enhance purchase and sales negotiations for toner and printer cartridges.

I am researching the use of blackboard systems to support smart cities.

I have submitted a paper based on a Master's project that I supervised, entitled Designing a Website using a Genetic Algorithm.

Student project:

• PC Fault Diagnosis on a Mobile Phone

Selected previous publications:

• Conducting feasibility studies for knowledge based systems
• Internet-based Decision Support for Evidence-Based Medicine
• Expert Provisioner: a range management aid
