Recently, several reversible information hiding methods based PVO (pixel value ordering) techniques have been proposed, in these methods, secret data always are embedded in pixels with largest or smallest value in the block. In order to make use of the block with multiple largest-valued (or smallest-valued) pixels, a PVO-K method was proposed, which treats K largest-valued (or smallest-valued) ...

In a previous paper the CSCR domain was defined. Here this is taken to the next stage where we consider the design of a particular Collaborative Research Environment to support Students and Supervisors CRESS. Following the CSCR structure a preliminary design for CRESS has been established and a portal framework analysis is undertaken in order to determine the most appropriate set of tools for i...
