title: Research and development absorptive capacity: a Māori perspective

authors: Ruckstuhl, Katharina

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper presents a view of research and development absorptive capacity from a Māori perspective. The assessment is part of a case study of a longitudinal programme – Science for Technological Innovation: Kia kotahi mai – Te Ao Putaiao me te Ao Hanagarau that aims to increase Aotearoa New Zealand’s capacity to use sci-tech for economic benefit. The paper finds that while Aotearoa New Zealand’s macro policy and meso institutional levels have become more responsive to Māori research and development demands, at the micro level of the individual or the firm there are still constraints given the small numbers of Māori in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In response to this, a novel model of Māori sci-tech capacity is under development that considers not only research and development technical capacities, but also the human and relational capacities required to accelerate absorptive capacity to respond to Māori social and economic aspirations.

title: Investigating Strategies to Support Reverse-Engineering of Interactive Systems

authors: Alsharif, Aman

subjects: Reverse-Engineering

abstract: Most software applications today provide a graphical user interface (GUI), which facilitates the use of the software by offering graphical and visual elements to the users. The correctness of the user interface is fundamental to the correct implementation of the overall software. Using reverse engineering tools and methods is one of the most efficient ways to understand a system, and to assess its functionality and usability. However, traditional reverse engineering methods are not well suited to interactive elements of a system. This research examines and analyzes reverse engineering techniques of interactive systems written in the Java programming language, with the aim of creating a set of models of the entire system namely, Presentation Models (PModels) and Presentation Interaction Models (PIMs), which are very effective in describing structural and functional behavioral features of the interactive system. This study will also highlight some of the problems that exist in this domain and investigate several possibilities for improving the process.
