This paper reports an audit to determine the effectiveness of ‘123 Magic’, a groupbased parenting programme that encourages parents to explore, discuss and practice strategies to manage child behaviour. We describe how audit can be used at a local level to provide evidence of effectiveness and areas for quality improvement. Audit can also be useful to determine outcomes locally and to develop n...

Early socialization experiences have a long-term impact on newcomers’ satisfaction, performance, and intention to stay in a group. We know that newcomers proactively shape their own socialization, but we know little about the behavioral tactics they employ, or how the words they choose affect their acceptance by the group. The present article highlights three common conversational strategies of...

Software bug classification is a precondition for bug fixation and it plays a vital role in software maintenance. It is found that bug fixation often takes long due to the distribution of misclassified or non-classified bugs by the triager among the developers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive bug classification approach on CVE dataset that involves two Bayesian classifiers such as Naive B...

With the recent proliferation of wireless communication devices, intermittent connectivity on the edge will quickly become a reality. These disruption tolerant networks derive structure from human-based interaction and mobility, and hence group-based routing is both a natural and important paradigm for applications. In this work, we introduce and explore the concept of manycast routing, where t...

The assessment of large classes of students is generally timeconsuming for the lecturer as well as somewhat impersonal for the students. The limits of the lecturer's time available for feedback is the main constraint with larger classes, inevitably leading to less time per student and a concomitant lower level of feedback. Engaging the students' interest can also be challenging in a larger clas...

As memory resource is a primary inhibitor of oversubscribing data centers in virtualized clouds, efficient memory management has been more appealing to public cloud providers. Although memory oversubscription improves overall memory efficiency, existing schemes lack isolation support, which is crucial for clouds to provide pay-per-use services on multi-tenant resource pools. This paper presents...

We describe a defense system to contain Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) flooding attacks in highspeed networks. We aim at protecting TCP friendly traffic, which forms a large portion of Internet traffic. DDoS flooding attacks tend to establish large numbers of malicious traffic flows to congest network. These flows are marked as TCP flows, and use spoofed source identifiers to hide their i...

CONTEXT The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia established the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School (SGRHS) as a joint venture to facilitate rural health professional education and research. Annually a cohort of medical students from the University of Adelaide volunteer and are placed in various SGRHS 'learning centres' throughout rural South Australia for the 5th year of ...
