Since 2008, the government of South Australia has been using a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach to achieve their strategic plan (South Australia Strategic Plan of 2004). In this commentary, we summarize some of the strengths and contributions of the innovative evaluation framework that was developed by an embedded team of academic researchers. To inform how the use of HiAP is evaluated mo...

This paper is an overview of my research plan: the research area and methods. The paper also describes componentbased software engineering for embedded real-time systems, listing related work and key conferences, leading groups and researchers which are relevant for my research. 1 Research area and method

Due to an increase in the demand of context-aware applications, there is a higher requirement for an accurate user location information. Todays mobile devices contain embedded sensors like gyroscope, accelerometer and electronic compass. Researchers are exploiting these sensors to estimate user position and location in different environments. This paper surveys the latest trends of using these ...

This paper presents an extensive literature survey of the software COTS component selection methods published to date, followed by a metamodel consolidating the activities and practices of these methods. Together with data collected from practitioners and researchers in the embedded systems domain, we provide concrete recommendations which will enable organizations to identify suitable practice...

One of the most pressing issues faced by today’s IT researchers is how to provide a distributed server infrastructure to accommodate the exponentially increasing web accesses. This project considers web services consisting of geographically distributed servers, client caching, proxy caching, and distributed searching in a virtual network, embedded on top of a physical network. A set of software...

Researchers around the world produce vast amounts of experimental data each day. Primary (experimental) data are the key elements of research projects and scientific publications. During the scientific workflow from the experiment to the final scientific publication primary data is analysed, interpreted and condensed to a final quintessence. But until now the handling of primary data in chemist...

[Context] Software companies that develop their products on a basis of service-oriented architecture can expect various improvements as a result of choreography. Current choreography practices, however, are not yet used extensively in the embedded systems domain even though service-oriented architecture is increasingly used in this domain. [Objective] The objective of this study is to identify ...
