    The Structured Phase of Concurrency
    Polyvyanyy, A ; Bussler, C ; Bubenko,, J ; Krogstie, J ; Pastor, O ; Pernici, B ; Rolland, C ; Sølvberg, A (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)
    This extended abstract summarizes the state-of-the-art solution to the structuring problem for models that describe existing real world or envisioned processes. Special attention is devoted to models that allow for the true concurrency semantics. Given a model of a process, the structuring problem deals with answering the question of whether there exists another model that describes the process and is solely composed of structured patterns, such as sequence, selection, option for simultaneous execution, and iteration. Methods and techniques for structuring developed by academia as well as products and standards proposed by industry are discussed. Expectations and recommendations on the future advancements of the structuring problem are suggested.

    Exploring the Impact of Relationship and Value Perceptions on the Adoption of Mobile Broadband Services
    AlHinai, YS ; Kurnia, S ; Low, N (Routledge, 2013)
    The emergence of mobile telephony devices with increasing Internet capabilities, particularly with the availability of the broadband Internet, has helped mobile broadband services to become one of the fastest growing industries. Using mobile broadband, consumers can send or receive emails, download music, shop for goods and services, play interactive online games, trade stocks, purchase tickets, fi nd friends and conduct fi nancial, banking and commerce transactions in addition to many other services (Ohmori et al. 2000). Mobile broadband services vary from basic services (such as short messaging services [SMS] and multimedia messaging services [MMS]) to more advanced services such as mobile banking, mobile stock trading and mobile selling and buying.

    Cybraries in paradise: New technologies and ethnographic repositories
    Barwick, L ; Thieberger, N ; Kapitzke, C ; Bruce, BC (Routledge, 2013-01-01)
    Digital technologies have altered research practices surrounding creation and use of ethnographic field recordings, and the methodologies and paradigms of the disciplines centered around their interpretation. In this chapter we discuss some examples of our current research practices as fieldworkers documenting music and language in the Asia-Pacific region in active engagement with the cultural heritage communities, and as developers and curators of the digital repository PARADISEC (the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures: ). We suggest a number of benefits that the use of digital technologies can bring to the recording of material from small and endangered cultures, and to its re-use by communities and researchers.

    Development of an Endocrine Genomics Virtual Research Environment for Australia: Building on Success
    Sinnott, RO ; Bruns, L ; Duran, C ; Hu, W ; Jayaputera, G ; Stell, A ; Murgante, B ; Misra, S ; Carlini, M ; Torre, CM ; Nguyen, HQ ; Taniar, D ; Apduhan, BO ; Gervasi, O (SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2013)
    The $47m Australian National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (NeCTAR - www.nectar.org.au) project has recently funded an initiative to establish an Australia-wide endocrine genomics virtual laboratory (endoVL – www.endovl.org.au) covering a range of disorders including type-1, type-2 diabetes, rare diabetes-related disorders, obesity/thyroid disorders, neuroendocrine/adrenal tumours, bone disorders and disorders of sex development. This virtual laboratory will establish a range of targeted databases, clinical registries and support a range of genetically targeted clinical trials leveraging a body of international projects and experiences garnered over many years through a range of EU and MRC funded initiatives. This paper focuses on the plans for endoVL and especially, the systems it leverages in supporting large-scale clinical, collaborative environments.
