The
18th Scottish Networking Event was held at the University of St
Andrews on 26 April 2017. SCONE is the Scottish Networking Event,
an informal gathering of networking and systems researchers in and
around Scotland.
The meeting started with a keynote from Mirco Musolesi (UCL) entitled
"From Smartphone based Monitoring of Depressive States to Data-Driven
Behaviour Interventions", reporting on work to use mobile technologies
to support patients and healthcare professionals tackle mental health
problems, for example by using changes in behaviour as early warning
signs of changes in medical conditions.
This was followed by three PhD student talks, by Ijeoma Oluchukwu Okeke
(Aberdeen) on "Spatio-Temporal Characterisation of Wireless Sensor
Network Data", Mah-Rukh Fida (Edinburgh) on "ZipWeave: Towards
Efficient and Reliable Measurement-based Mobile Coverage Maps", and
by Haifa Al Nasseri (St Andrews) on "Investigation of Virtual Network
Isolation Security in Cloud Computing".
The meeting concluded with a speed-dating exercise, to help the PhD
students practice their "elevator pitch" describing their research
work, and with some community announcements.
