On this page I will collect articles and other publications about my research. I do not track this very closely, so I am sure this page is and will be very incomplete. While the reports in the press are not always accurate, it is nice to see there is some interest.
Despite the prodding of the university, I am very bad at keeping
track of these things. I know this is not complete. If you know of of
some news item that should be listed, let me know.
The NoAH, Lobster, DeWorm, and NoAH projects attracted a lot of attention
in the popular media. Clearly, there is interest in keeping our
infrastructures safe.
It seems some of this stuff featured in bizarre places. Here is the
email sent by a colleague at the VU: "I learnt about the release of
Argos last Monday by reading the LCD screens in tram 5. In between
ads, weather forecasts and other similar stuff there was a news titled
something like "De Internet is gebroken" which explained that an
unnamed researcher from the VU had developped something to secure the
Internet. Not much technical details, as you would expect from a
general-public, 50-or-so word-long story ;-)"
As always, I tend to be a little uncomfortable with the way things
are sometimes portrayed in the popular media. Some of the reports in
the past have portrayed us the people who are saving the world the
world from doom! While this makes me feel heroic, it is often phrased
a little less cautious than I would have liked. At any rate,
as requested by the university and the projects, I am trying to
collect links to these reports. So far I have managed to track down
the following (many of of which discuss Argos):
Argos was blogged and talked about in different sites: The press release in january 2005 was also mentioned in (all more or less the same as the original ANP release):
If anyone, finds any other files/links, please send them to me, so
I can add them above. I would be particularly interested in the radio
show on 3FM and Radio1 as I havenīt heard them myself.
