Digital gaming presents an engaging, widely varied, and increasingly popular pastime. Yet in recent theorising about digital game experience, the social richness of playing is often marginalised or neglected all together. We argue that, although not previously recognized or defined as such, digital gaming technology can usefully be regarded as social presence technology, as it provides a settin...

The 10 Linked Data on the Web workshop (LDOW2017) was held in Perth, Western Australia on April 3, 2017, colocated with the 26th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2017). In its 10 anniversary edition, the LDOW workshop aims to stimulate discussion and further research into the challenges of publishing, consuming, and integrating structured data on the Web as well as mining knowledge f...

The increased sharing of computational resources elevates the risk of side channels and covert channels, where an entity’s security is affected by the entities with which it is co-located. This introduces a strong demand for mechanisms that can effectively isolate individual computations. Such mechanisms should be efficient, allowing resource utilisation to be maximised despite isolation. In th...

INTRODUCTION Large-scale information displays are becoming increasingly common in the workplace. Because they afford group viewing and interaction, many attempts have been made to use public displays as a means of promoting awareness within communities of users. Many awareness applications built for group awareness have faced the challenge of balancing depth and relevance of information with pr...

Abstract Inspired by the challenge of scaling-up existing silicon quantum hardware, we propose a 2d spin-qubit architecture with low compilation overhead. The is based on nanowire split-gate transistors which form 1d chains spin-qubits and allow execution two-qubit operations among neighbors. We introduce junction can couple four nanowires into arrangements via spin shuttling Swap operations. t...

The flexible and efficient support of the process of product design and production requires combined expertise from many aspects of the product life-cycle, and the management and use of this knowledge in turn increasingly requires sophisticated computer-based advice systems. In this chapter we present a constraint-based approach to making the full First-Order Predicate Calculus available for kn...

The performance of wind turbines can be negatively affected by the presence of uncertainties. We introduce a comprehensive multi-physics computational model EOLO that enables the estimation of aerodynamic and structural characteristics assiociated with horizontal axis wind turbines, and use it to study the impact of uncertainties on the aerodynamic performance and noise. We consider variability...

The extent and importance of endogenous viral elements have been extensively described in animals but are much less well understood in plants. Here we describe a new genus of Caulimoviridae called 'Florendovirus', members of which have colonized the genomes of a large diversity of flowering plants, sometimes at very high copy numbers (>0.5% total genome content). The genome invasion of Oryza is...
