A framework for visual notation exchange

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A wide range of software tools provide software engineers with different views (static and dynamic) of software systems. Much recent work has focused on software information model exchange. However, most software tools lack support for exchange of information about visualisation notations (both definitions of notations and instances of them). Some basic converters have been developed to support the exchange of notation information between software tools but almost all are custom-built to support specific notations and difficult to maintain. We describe the development of several notation exchange converters for tools supporting software architecture notations. This has lead to the development of a unified converter generator framework for notation exchange.

Catalans and Spaniards are failing so far to find solutions to the problem. But it is our European common problem and our common responsibility to try to help them. More specifically, EU institutions should be doing much more of what they have done so far. I blame them for their passivity in the last couple of months.

SoftArch/MTE: Generating distributed system test-beds from high-level software architecture descriptions
Creators: name: Grundy, John

name: Liu, Anna
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Most distributed system specifications have performance benchmark requirements, for example the number of particular kinds of transactions per second required to be supported by the system. However, determining the likely eventual performance of complex distributed system architectures during their development is very challenging. We describe SoftArch/MTE, a software tool that allows software architects to sketch an outline of their proposed system architecture at a high level of abstraction. These descriptions include client requests, servers, server objects and object services, database servers and tables, and particular choices of middleware and database technologies. A fully-working implementation of this system is then automatically generated from this high-level architectural description. This implementation is deployed on multiple client and server machines and performance tests are then automatically run for this generated code. Performance test results are recorded, sent back to the SoftArch/MTE environment and are then displayed to the architect using graphs or by annotating the original high-level architectural diagrams. Architects may change performance parameters and architecture characteristics, comparing multiple test run results to determine the most suitable abstractions to refine to detailed designs for actual system implementation. Further tests may be run on refined architecture descriptions at any stage during system development. We demonstrate the utility of our approach and prototype tool, and the accuracy of our generated performance test-beds, for validating architectural choices during early system development.

Fines may be charged on Poland as a result of the case, but the Commission has probably quietly withdrawn some of its charges, apparently opting for the somewhat modified “Hungarian scenario”. The impact of this new approach on the reversibility of the changes introduced to the Polish judiciary will be very limited.

Beautifying sketching-based design tool content: Issues and experiences
Creators: name: Plimmer, Beryl

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With the advent of the Tablet PC and stylus-based PDAs, sketching-based user interfaces for design tools have become popular. However, a major challenge with such interfaces is the need for appropriate 'beautification' of the sketches. This includes both interactive beautification as content is sketched and post-design conversion of sketches to formalised, computer-drawn diagrams. We discuss a number of beautification issues and requirements for sketching-based design tools, illustrating these with examples from two quite different sketching-based applications. We illustrate ways of supporting beautification, user interface design and implementation challenges, and results from preliminary evaluations of such interfaces.

For a number of reasons, including a lack of democratic traditions and constitutional culture, after the 2010 parliamentary elections, liberal constitutionalism became a victim of the authoritarian efforts of Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party. In April 2013, the government as part of the Fourth Amendment to the Fundamental Law adopted Article U, which supplements detailed provisions on the country’s communist past and the statute of limitations in the body text of the constitution.

Enhancing client loyalty of advertising agencies: the influence of creativity and inter-firm relationships
Creators: name: Levin, Elizabeth
name: Lobo, Antonio

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study develops a model for the drivers of loyalty, drawing literature from both service quality and relationship marketing. It investigates how advertising agencies' creativity and inter-firm relationships influence their clients' perceived value and overall satisfaction, and in turn how these influence clients' loyalty towards advertising agencies. A validated survey instrument was used to collect quantitative data. Responses from 119 clients of advertising agencies were analysed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique. The model was robust in that inter-firm relationships, overall satisfaction and value followed by creativity explained 72% of variation in loyalty. The findings reveal that the inter-firm relationship is a more important determinant of satisfaction with an advertising agency than creativity, however this relationship is reversed when considering clients' value perceptions. Service providers such as advertising agencies need to ensure that they focus on all the aspects of service provision to fulfil varying needs and expectations of their clients.

description: This paper presents the Graded Word Similarity in Context (GWSC) task which asked participants to predict the effects of context on human perception of similarity in English, Croatian, Slovene and Finnish. We received 15 submissions and 11 system description papers. A new dataset (CoSimLex) was created for evaluation in this task: it contains pairs of words, each annotated within two short text passages. Systems beat the baselines by significant margins, but few did well in more than one language or subtask. Almost every system employed a Transformer model, but with many variations in the details: WordNet sense embeddings, translation of contexts, TF-IDF weightings, and the automatic creation of datasets for fine-tuning were all used to good effect.
Creativity, wicked problems and the contemporary PhD
Creators: name: Arnold, Josie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, I survey the challenges the creative and contemporary PhD make to the academy. I look at the scholarship entailed in creative production and in identifying and working with wicked problems as having similar attributes contributing to the need to create new PhD models. Traditionally, the PhD has been a preparation for a career in the academy, with scholars undertaking it so as to show their capacity to identify a research gap in their area, to develop a research question from that and to build a major and new contribution to knowledge in a written submission of some 100,000 words. This traditional model is based upon the certainties of scholarship within enlightenment ideals of science. These have delivered us great strides in many areas of medicine and science and have also come, because of their productivity, to dominate the arts, particularly the social sciences and psychology. Whilst its value should not be debased, this enlightenment model has been challenged from such different areas of scholarship as creative production and wicked problems. The core ideas in this paper are how we might utilise creativity and emerging ideas of wicked problems to debate the importance of understanding the contemporary PhD.
Deployed software component testing using dynamic validation agents

Year: 2024

description: Software component run-time characteristics are highly dependent on their actual deployment situation. Validating that software components meet required functional and non-functional properties is time consuming and for some properties quite challenging. We describe the use of 'validation agents' to automate the testing of deployed software components to verify that component functional and non-functional properties are met. Our validation agents utilise 'component aspects' that describe functional and non-functional cross-cutting concerns impacting software components. Aspect information is queried by our validation agents and these construct and run automated tests on the deployed software components. The agents then determine if the deployed components meet their aspect-described requirements. Some agents deploy an existing performance test-bed generation tool to run realistic loading tests on these components. We describe the motivation for our work, how component aspects are designed and encoded, our automated agent-based testing process, the architecture and implementation or our validation agents, and our experiences using them.

description: Peak flood mitigation can be achieved through on-site detention methods including through household rainwater tanks. The purpose of this research is to assess flood mitigation benefits of household rainwater tanks. Specifically in terms of peak flood volumes reduction and other associated environmental, social and economic benefits. The catchment in study is Sutton Lakes within Knox City Council where there are several storm water related issues, including the traditional inadequate piped storm water network and various water quality concerns within the lake system. Through various flooding and water quality computer modelling a detailed analysis was performed in order to quantify these benefits within the project area. During the 5 year ARI storm there was a 12.6% reduction in pipe flows from the outlet of the system, which correlates to a possible drop in pipe dimensions in the catchment. This reduction also includes a 43% in overland flows which cause building inundations.
Adjusting true odds to allow for vigorish
Creators: name: Clarke, Stephen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A mathematical model predicting sporting outcomes produces probabilities that sum to one, whereas the probabilities implied by bookmaker's odds sum to more than one. Vigorish or over-round is the excess probability that supplies the bookies margin, and could typically range from 2% to over 20%. If the probabilities from a mathematical model are to be used for supplying real time odds they need to be adjusted for the bookmaker's vigorish. In the reverse situation, when testing models from past data, bookmaker's odds need to be adjusted so that the implied probabilities sum to one. Schembri et al (2011) discusses two methods - normalisation and equal distribution. However neither of these suitably allow for the fact that the margin on outsiders is usually greater than favourites. A true price of $1.05 can be reduced to $1.03 for less than 2% margin, whereas a $100 true price could be set at $50 for a $50% margin. This paper discusses an alternativeapproach using a power function to transform probabilities. This was successfully used when supplying real time odds to a leading bookmarker (Clarke, 2007).

description: Disruptive transport technologies are introducing new opportunities for providing travelers and consumers with more options to meet their travel needs. These prospects are being facilitated by the convergence of a number of disruptive technologies including autonomous driving and mobile computing, and the shared (collaborative) economy. Although some of these disruptions are still a few years away (e.g. autonomous vehicles), they have already started to shape a vision for a very different future. Shared networks of autonomous vehicles, in particular, are already perceived as holding great promise for addressing the urban mobility challenges in our cities. This paper presents results from a simulation-based study which aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using agent-based simulation tools to model the impacts of shared autonomous vehicles. A base case scenario representing the current situation (i.e. using traditional privately owned vehicles) and future scenarios of autonomous mobility on-demand (AMoD) were simulated on a real transport network in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to assessing the mobility impacts of AMoD, the paper also presents an assessment of how mode choice preferences impact the operation of fleets of autonomous vehicles. The results showed that using an AMoD system resulted in a significant reduction in both the number of vehicles required to meet the transport needs of the community (reductions between 43% and 88%), and the required on-street parking space (reductions between 57% and 83%. Investigations of shared mode choice preferences (car-share versus ride-share) also showed that shifting 40% of travelers to autonomous on-demand ride-sharing has the potential to deliver a 70% reduction in the total vehicle fleet size and 14% reduction in the total vehicle-kilometers-travelled compared to the Base Case Scenario.

Electron momentum spectroscopy and its applications to molecules of biological interest
Creators: name: Wang, Feng
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Energy and wave function are the heart and soul of Schrödinger quantum mechanics. Electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) so far provides the most stringent test for quantum mechanical models (theory, basis sets and the combination of both) through observables such as binding energy spectra and Dyson orbital momentum distributions. The capability of EMS to measure Dyson orbitals of a molecule as momentum distributions provides a unique opportunity to assess the models of quantum mechanics based on orbitals, rather than on energy dominated (mostly isotropic) properties. Recently, the author introduced a technique called dual space analysis (DSA), which is based on EMS and quantum mechanics to analyze orbital based information in the more familiar position space as well as the less familiar momentum space. In this article, the development of EMS and DSA is reviewed through the applications to molecules of biological interest such as amino acids, nucleic acid bases and recently nucleosides. The emphasis is the applications of DSA to study isomerization processes and chemical bonding mechanisms of these molecules.

Aber auch dann, wenn sich das Bundesverfassungsgericht gegen das Beamtenstreikverbot entscheidet, ist eines deutlich geworden. Europarechtliche Vorgaben lassen sich nicht ohne weiteres ignorieren, auch nicht in Karlsruhe.

Improving agile software development using eXtreme AOCE and aspect-oriented CVS

description: Currently there are no Concurrent Versioning Systems (CVS) designed to properly support agile software development. The existing CVS lacks user friendliness and it requires users to be fully experienced with the system before they can adequately use it. Also its asynchronous style of merging often leads to code loss. In this paper, we describe a novel CVS system, called the Aspect-Oriented CVS (AOCVS) and our newly derived agile software development methodology, eXtreme Aspect-Oriented Component Engineering (eXtreme AOCE). Unlike the general CVS which is used for a vast variety of projects, AOCVS was designed and developed specifically for eXtreme AOCE. Our CVS tool merges the changes in a synchronous/real time fashion; this in turn removes the hassle for the developers on having to resolve merging conflicts. We also describe how our implemented AOCVS can be used to provide functionalities that can assist developers to produce and distribute reusable code and to communicate and manage aspect-oriented agile projects more efficiently and effectively. Our novel agile approach and tool allows software developers to use the rich cross-cutting systemic concerns, their behaviour and properties in aspect-oriented components to refactor, maintain, add functionalities and test complex software systems more easily, rapidly and accurately.
Suburban socio-spatial polarisation and house price change in Melbourne: 1986 - 1996
Creators: name: Reynolds, Margaret

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This study examines the process and pattern of spatial polarisation in Melbourne Australia between 1986 and 1996. We construct a five-category polarisation typology based on the relative change in the bottom and top ends of local suburban household income distributions. The suburbs are classified as either: increasing advantage, increasing middle income, stable, polarising or increasing disadvantage. The research then examines the relationship between the suburb classification and house prices over the same period. The spatial units are 327 Melbourne suburbs. The two primary data sources include Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) household income figures and Victorian state government house sale price data for 1986 and 1996. The maps reveal a contiguous sector of increasing advantage in Melbourne's inner and nearby eastern suburbs encircled by an adjacent middle suburban ring characterised by growing disadvantage. Spatially this picture of polarisation corresponds closely with the map showing median house price change between 1986 and 1996. The polarisation categories are closely related to real quartile house prices with the highest house price increases in suburbs of increasing advantage and the lowest gains (or declines) in suburbs increasing in disadvantage.

description: Many application domains, including enterprise systems integration, health informatics and construction IT, require complex data to be transformed from one format to another. We have developed several tools to support specification and generation of such data mappings using domain-specific visual languages. We describe motivation for this work, challenges in developing visual mapping metaphors for different target users and problem domains, and illustrate using examples from several of our developed systems. We compare cognitive dimensions-based evaluations of the different approaches and summarise the lessons we have learned.
