title: A Meta-Service for Event Notification

authors: Jung, Doris

subjects: computer science

abstract: The integration of event information from diverse event notification sources is, as with meta-searching over heterogeneous search engines, a challenging task. Due to the complexity of event filter languages, known solutions for heterogeneous searching cannot be applied for event notification 
In this paper, we propose the concept and design of a Meta Service for Event Notification. We define transformation rules for exchanging event filter definitions and event notifications between various event services and sources. We transform each filter defined at a meta-service into a filter expressed in the language of each event notification source. Due to unavoidable asymmetry in the semantics of different langues, some superfluous information may be delivered to the meta-service. These notifications are then post-processed to reduce the number of spurious messages. We present a survey and classification of filter languages for event notification, which serves as basis for the transformation rules. The proposed rules are implemented in a prototype transformation module for a Meta Service for Event Notification.

title: Supplementary notes for 2024 Moana Oceania NZ soil judging handbook

authors: Lowe, David J.

abstract: These supplementary maps and tables were compiled by David J. Lowe to accompany and enhance the NZ soil judging handbook prepared for the 2024 Moana Oceania Soil Judging competition held in the Rotorua region 29 November-1 December 2024 (prior to the joint NZSSS and SSA soils conference 2-5 December 2024 in Rotorua). They include maps of volcanic centres and explosively erupted products in North Island, the general soil pattern for tephra-derived soils, the main rhyolitic tephras deposited in the Rotorua-Tarawera region over the past c. 25,400 years, and the distribution of Taupo tephra (c. 232 AD), Kaharoa tephra (c. 1314 AD) and Tarawera tephra (10 June 1886 AD). Notes on the development of the Mamaku Plateau via ignimbrite emplacement and erosion and on the nature and formation of the nanoclay, allophane, are also included.
