Enforcing Honesty in Fair Exchange Protocols (2010)
Book Chapter
Alaraj, A., & Munro, M. (2010). Enforcing Honesty in Fair Exchange Protocols. In Y. Badr, R. Chbeir, A. Abraham, & A. Hassanien (Eds.), Emergent Web Intelligence: Advanced Semantic Technologies (451 - 479). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-077-9

When buying and selling digital products online both the customer and merchant need to trust each other. However, not all parties are honest and hence a class of exchange protocols has been developed that are called Optimistic Fair Exchange Protocols...

CbSSDF and OWL-S, A Scenario based Solution Analysis and Comparison (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Du, X., Song, W., & Munro, M. (2009, December). CbSSDF and OWL-S, A Scenario based Solution Analysis and Comparison. Presented at 18th International Conference on Information System development (ISD2009), Nanchang, China

To tackle the semantic issues of web services, we proposed a comprehensive semantic service description framework – CbSSDF – and a two-step service discovery mechanism based on CbSSDF to help service users to easily locate their required services. In... Read More about CbSSDF and OWL-S, A Scenario based Solution Analysis and Comparison.

Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application (2007)
Journal Article
Gallagher, K., Hatch, A., & Munro, M. (2008). Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 34(2), 260-270. https://doi.org/10.1109/tse.2007.70757

In order to characterize and improve software architecture visualization practice, the paper derives and constructs a qualitative framework, with 7 key areas and 31 features, for the assessment of software architecture visualization tools. The framew... Read More about Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application.

Determining the dependability of Service-Oriented Architectures. (2007)
Journal Article
Looker, N., Xu, J., & Munro, M. (2007). Determining the dependability of Service-Oriented Architectures. International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling, 3(1-2), 88-97. https://doi.org/10.1504/ijspm.2007.014718

This paper introduces our novel method for the generation of fault injection test cases and failure detection by the use of our enhanced fault and failure models. Our enhanced fault model is an extension of a standard fault model that is constructed... Read More about Determining the dependability of Service-Oriented Architectures..

Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Looker, N., Burd, L., Drummond, S., Xu, J., & Munro, M. (2005, October). Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models. Presented at IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented System Engineering (SOSE'05)., Beijing, PRC

This paper outlines our method for deriving Fault Models for use with our WS-FIT tool that can be used to assess the dependability of SOA. Since one of the major issues with extracting these heuristic rules and Fault Models is the availability of sof... Read More about Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models.

A Framework for Software Architecture Visualization Assessment (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gallagher, K., Hatch, A., & Munro, M. (2005, September). A Framework for Software Architecture Visualization Assessment. Presented at Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE Workshop on Visualizing Software (VISSOFT 2005, Budapest, Hungary

In order to assess software architecture visualisation strategies, we qualitatively characterize then construct an assessment framework with 7 key areas and 31 features. The framework is used for evaluation and comparison of various strategies from m... Read More about A Framework for Software Architecture Visualization Assessment.
