This paper argues that existing research in Enterprise Architecture (EA) tends to emphasise the technical aspects of implementation and neglects the role of ‘people’. The paper uses Archer’s Morphogenetic Approach (MA) to elaborate the social context of EA. This approach examines the relationships between agency, structure and culture to understand how stakeholders affect and are affected by EA...

Dangerous animals fascinate people; and Australia has more than its fair share of them. This paper outlines our work in the design of two different museum applications that are able to reuse a single-source of content to cater for the specific needs of their target audience. The underlying goal of this work is to show how museum content can be made more accessible, more interactive, and persona...

The proposed paper gives a brief survey of situational control (SC) of complex systems development, also a brief survey of applications that were realized in the past period (SC of robotic technological complexes, SC of electric network, SC in metallurgy, SC in biomedicine, situational modeling, situational classification in projecting, etc.) The paper also deals with problems of decision – mak...

This project will demonstrate a new approach to employing users’ gaze in the context of human-computer interaction. This new approach uses gaze passively in order to improve the speed and precision of manually controlled pointing techniques. Designing such gazeaugmented manual techniques requires an understanding of the principles that govern the coordination of hand and eye. This coordination ...

We propose a method of probabilistic natural language generation observing both a syntactic structure and an input of situational content. We employed Monte Carlo Tree Search for this nontrivial search problem, employing context-free grammar rules as search operators and evaluating numerous putative generations from these two aspects using logistic regression and n-gram language model. Through ...

We present an online learning model of early cross-situational word learning which maps words to objects from context with relatively sparse input. The model operates by rewarding and penalizing probabilities of possible word-to-object mappings based on real-time observation, and using those probabilities to determine a lexicon. We integrate prosodic and gestural cues and allow the learner to e...

This paper presents the findings of a study that re-uses (with permission) thirty interviews gathered by the charity Dipex (Youthhealthtalk ) to explore the relationship between information and coping where young people are coping with long-term illnesses. The study uses the analytical approach Situational Analysis, an elaboration of Grounded Theory developed by Clarke (2005). As the approach i...

In studies of information users' cognitive behaviors, it is widely recognized that users' perceptions of their information problem situations play a major role. Time-line interviewing and inductive content analysis are two research methods that, used together, have proven extremely useful for exploring and describing users' perceptions in various situational contexts. This article describes adv...

Profile-driven personalization based on socio-demographics is currently regarded as the most convenient base for successful personalized advertising. However, signs point to the dormant power of context recognition: Advertising systems that can adapt to the situational context of a consumer will rapidly gain importance. While technologies that can sense the environment are increasingly advanced...
