Additive manufacturing and in particular, concrete 3D printing has been suggested as one of the interesting solutions to unlock remote development, enhance strength capability local national construction industries, offer fast recovery post-disaster scenarios. In this study, housing challenges with a particular focus on Australian Northern Territory (NT) are reviewed feasibility efficiency using tackle those have discussed. Besides advantages 3DP for housing, it's limitations concerns also...
Intelligent virtual agents are being endowed with empathic behaviours to perform roles such as therapists. Studies often evaluate the level of rapport established, but do not measure therapeutic benefit and relative advantage versus neutral behaviours. We have created two (empathic/neutral) Our experiment 63 participants consisted one within-subjects between-subjects (order) factors. Regardless therapist used, improvements in baseline emotion were reported after first interaction (time one)...
Abstract The Australian freshwater turtle fauna is dominated by species in the family Chelidae. extant comprises a series of distinct lineages, each considerable antiquity, relicts more extensive and perhaps diverse that existed when wetter climes prevailed. Several phylogenetically distinctive are restricted to single, often small, drainage basins, which presents challenges for their conservation. Specific threats include water resource development, alters magnitude, frequency, timing flows...
Despite the increase in university courses and curricula on ethics of computing there are few studies about how computer science (CS) programs should account for diverse ways ethical dilemmas approaches to situated cultural, philosophical, governance systems, religions, languages. We draw experiences insights 46 educators practitioners Latin America, South-Asia, Africa, Middle East, Australian First Nations who participated surveys interviews. Our modest study seeks prompt conversation...
The use of Knowledge Management (KM) is increasingly relevant to education for the management information and knowledge resources. It important that educational organisations adapt mobile learning using existing established frameworks evaluation. In particular, strategies KM within university context need be understood. This article examines industrial Socialisation Externalisation Combination Internalisation (SECI) model how it applied domain. purpose this investigation analyse supported by...
This paper presents the lessons learnt during analysis of corporate databases developed by IBM Global Services (Australia). is rated as CMM level 5. Following 4 and above practices, designed several software metrics with associated data collection reporting systems to manage its goals. However, quality staff believed were not useful they had expected. NICTA undertook a review IBM's statistical process control procedures found problems mainly due lack links between different tables. Such...
This paper provides a perspective on how art and cross-cultural conversations can facilitate understanding of important scientific processes, outcomes conclusions, using the Marine Ecosystem Assessment for Southern Ocean (MEASO) as case study. First, we reflect our rationale approach, describing importance deeper communication, such through arts, to policy process; more enduring decisions are possible by engaging obtaining perspectives than just utilitarian lens. Second, draw LivingData...
Housing in remote Australia's Indigenous communities has remained an unsolved challenge after many years of effort. Factors to be considered housing have been researched broadly but rarely taking a holistic design point view. This requires the inclusion all factors that affect success project (eg resources, physical and social environment processes). study is response question: which should engineers consider their building projects? In this study, these were extracted from literature...
Behavioural theory predicts that interventions improve individual reviewers' expertise also the performance of group in Software Development Technical Reviews (SDTR) [C. Sauer et al.,(2000)]. This includes improvements both individual's review process, as well their ability to find defects and distinguish true from false positives. We present findings University training these skills using authentic problems. The first year course was run it designed around actual code sessions, second this...
This article explores a project at the Koori Centre, University of Sydney, funded by Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) in 2011, titled ‘Indigenous On-Line Cultural Sharing’. One team members (Kutay) was also member on ALTC-funded ‘Exploring PBL Indigenous Studies’, which has developed teaching learning process (PEARL) for studies. In this article, we present Sharing’ as an exemplar process. The turns highly successful interactive kinship workshop into online experience all...
Virtual agents that improve the lives of humans need to be more than user-aware and adaptive user’s current state behavior. Additionally, they apply expertise gained from experience drives their behavior based on deep understanding features (such as gender, culture, personality, psychological state). Our work has involved extension FAtiMA (Fearnot AffecTive Mind Architecture) with addition an Adaptive Engine cognitive agent architecture. We use machine learning acquire agent’s by capturing a...
It is possible to develop a well-sustained society by balancing social, technical, and environmental concerns at the community level. Indigenous governance methods provide enormous prospects for developing societies. A limitation knowledge gap lack of interest from dominant cultures. With application appropriate technology in development, it communities adjust their uses transfer accumulated development infrastructure mechanisms production incorporating cultural value. Activating such...
Housing in Australia's Northern Territory (NT) remote areas has remained a challenge despite many years of attempts by policy makers and engineers.

Abstract Since its inception, Problem-based learning (PBL) as a process for and teaching has been used to enhance many skills based courses, including education programs at Bachelor College the Aboriginal Technical Health Worker training program Centre Appropriate Technology in Alice Springs. While PBL is an approach which designed provide more holistic educational all students, Foster Meehane (2007) suggest that aspects of courses are ideally suited Indigenous students. In particular, this...
