Description: This paper describes the MODDE (Model of Decision support system Design and Evaluation) framework in some detail. The work is in progress and is being currently applied to the EMBRACE project being developed for the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) of Australia. Refugee law is the general legal area we are working in, while the specific domain under investigation is that of the decision makers at the RRT. EMBRACE is a decision support system being designed to assist the RRT in maintaining consistency of decisions, and preserve discretion of decision makers as well as making it easier to cope with high volumes of work in decreasing time frames. The use of the MODDE framework is intended to facilitate systematic attention to important features of decision making in our specific legal domain and to provide a sound basis upon which to evaluate a part of the system intrinsic to user acceptance.

Description: This paper reports some preliminary results of a small pilot survey of University of Ballarat students' knowledge of Youth Allowance rates and eligibility criteria and of their attitudes towards the appropriateness of some of the obligations currently placed on young people in receipt of Youth Allowance. Thus it was asked, do students, who may themselves be experiencing poverty, agree with the current range of government imposed obligations on young job seekers?

Description: The modern digital internet economy and billions of dollars of trade are made possible by the internet security which is provided by operating system and web browser developers. This paper provides a survey of how this security is implemented through the use of digital certificates and the Public Key Infrastructure. Documented cases of the abuse of these digital certificates are given. It is shown that these problems arise from a combination of commercial pressures and a failure of the designers of internet security to consider the fundamental security principal of least privilege. Measures which are used to mitigate these problems are noted and new PKI architectural components which are designed to correct existing problems are examined.

Learning with technology: Theoretical foundations underpinning simulations in higher education

Description: Embracing learning for the future through learning technologies requires a clearer understanding of the pedagogies that inform the simulated teaching and learning strategies used to facilitate student learning. Higher Education e-learning literature often groups educational games with simulation. However, educational simulation attributes are different from games or simulated games with very different aims and objectives within the learning context, which have implications for technology-based learning designs. In order to optimize the use of technologybased simulation this paper presents the theoretical foundations of educational simulation in a disciplinary context. Understanding the simulation pedagogy will assist academics to create technology-based simulated learning environments that highlight the inherent simulation attributes to enable and facilitate learning.

Description: Due to the unique characteristics of acoustic communication channel, reliable data transfer in underwater is difficult in applications such as pollution monitoring, oceano-graphic data collection, surveillance, etc. To handle this issue, an Opportunistic Message Forwarding Protocol (OMFP) [1], which selects next hop forwarders based on link reliability and data transfer reachability, was proposed for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs). The protocol shows improved performance over some existing popular and reputed underwater data forwarding approaches. However, OMFP has not considered node movement which is a natural phenomenon underwater. Besides high error probability and dynamicity of underwater acoustic channel, node movement also makes data forwarding process difficult. In addition to the link reliability and reachability, incorporation of neighbors' coverage probability in terms of their movement pattern in the next hop selection will further increase the reliability of forwarder selection process and decrease the chances of packet loss. To address this issue, this paper presents a new approach, namely, Movement Predicted Data Forwarding (MPDF) protocol. In MPDF, every node predicts its future movement pattern due to various contributory factors and estimates node's location, coverage probability without using any 'active' localization technique. The simulation results show that the proposed technique improves data delivery ratio, routing overhead with comparable energy consumption.
