For large scale power quality surveys, the management of the large amount of data generated is a major issue. This paper presents solutions to three main areas of data management, viz. a data interchange format, database design and data processing. Consideration of these issues has come about as a result of the Long Term National Power Quality Survey currently being conducted by the University of Wollongong, and reference is made to that specific application for illustrative purposes.

Secure Multimedia Authoring With Dishonest Collaborators, N. P. Sheppard, R. Safavi-Naini, P. Ogunbona

Many systems have been proposed for protecting the intellectual property of multimedia authors and owners from the public at large, who have access to the multimedia only after it is published. In this paper, we consider the problem of protecting authors' intellectual property rights from insiders, such as collaborating authors and producers, who interact with the creative process before publication. We describe the weaknesses of standard proof-of-ownership watermarking approaches against dishonest insiders, and propose several possible architectures for systems that avoid these weaknesses. We further show how these architectures can be adapted for fingerprinting in the presence of dishonest insiders.

Usability/User Interface Design In Agile Processes, A. Fuller

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

The increasing popularity of the “agile” software development methods has prompted claims that such methods compromise the usability of the delivered product. However, this need not be the case. While some authors have suggested remedial extensions or additions that run in parallel with the chosen method, we believe that any agile method, properly applied, will produce software equally as useable as that produced by any other method.

The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly we present a survey of many of the arguments made in the literature, thus bringing together a number of differing concerns. Then we set out …
