Areas of Expertise

Networks
Our future society, and its economy, will be built within a seamless environment of networked information resources. IIDI's Network Theme has been created to meet the demands of this society. Dr Ahmed Al-Dubai leads the Network Theme, which seeks to develop local human capital in the fields of...

Projects

Scaleable and Open Framework for Human/Digital Trust between Informal/Formal Personal Health Care Infrastructures
This project extends the e-Health Cloud-based Platform, and integrates with assisted living. The project integrates Edinburgh Napier University, Microsoft and HoIP, and has created a novel governance policy infrastructure using a circle-of-trust relationship for assisted living, which then links to...
Towards Green, Sustainable and Personalisable E-Business Services
The project will advance the current state of art of e-business and cloud computing by developing a novel approach to cloud-based e-business service evolution and personalisation. We'll seek further funding from the research councils and EU calls based on the partnership.
IIDI & Flexiant Ltd
This research project studies the feasibility of a Cloud-based platform which is used to evaluate the performance of digital forensics tools. Along with measuring key quality metrics, such as true-positives, and false-positives, the platform also measures operational performance, such as the speed...
The project involves the collaboration between Edinburgh Napier University and IIS Ltd. Its main focus is to design, develop and test software code for the creation of a novel cloud-based disk analysis product.
RATTRAP (Guardian Toolkit)
The Office of Cyber Security & Information Assurance (OCSIA) estimates that the cost of cybercrime to businesses, in the UK alone, is over £21 billion per annum. This project focuses on the real-time assessment of the risks associated with affiliate marketing networks.
Information Sharing between the Police and their Community Partners
This is a three year PhD award from the SIPR (Scottish Institute for Policing Research) and focuses on creating new models for information sharing between the police and their community partners.
