The electronic Voting and Counting System (eVACS) is an open-source software used in an electronic voting trial the Australian Capital Territory, and has been recommended for use in future elections. In this paper, we report results from a review of the eVACS code and design, supported by static analysis tools. While no “hot exploits” have been found, several bad practices were identified.

Idea generation software can be useful in electronic brainstorming and creativity tasks. These tools facilitate the generation of a large number of ideas which may result in information overload. Number of ideas, idea diversity, and flow of ideas in an electronic brainstorming session constitute input complexity which results in mental workload and eventually affects group performance. In this ...

In order to harmonize various chemical classification systems and ultimately provide consistent chemical hazard communication tools worldwide, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was endorsed by the United Natio...

Meanings of morphological categories are an indispensable component of representation of sentence semantics. In the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0, sentence semantics is represented as a dependency tree consisting of labeled nodes and edges. Meanings of morphological categories are captured as attributes of tree nodes; these attributes are called grammatemes. The present paper focuses on morpho...

Despite the likelihood of poor quality data flowing from clinical information systems to public health information systems, current policies and practices are pushing for the adoption and use of even greater numbers of electronic data feeds. However, using poor data can lead to poor decision-making outcomes in public health. Therefore public health informatics professionals need to assess, and ...

Composing interactive music using score following, requires tight coordination and several round trips between many tools to write the score to follow, and to author the electronic actions, and assess their synchronisation. In addition, at performance time, the score-following must be monitored to ensure proper execution. Unifying composition and performance phases provides composers and electr...
