"The inside front cover of this publication carries an image of CRCAH's front door, the main gateway to the former Ballarat Gaol. It is a magnificent example of nineteenth century masonry work. The massive bluestone blocks were carved and chiselled into a grand classical edifice, making a fitting southern finale in scale and significance to the great range of buildings on either side of Lydiard Street. The remarkable architectural statement of a confident gold rich city runs from the ostentatious neo-classical railway station at the northern end past the Art Gallery, the Mining Exchange, the palatial former Post Office (now housing the studios of the university Arts Academy) and on along the facades of banks, hotels, theatres and churches, in a melody of styles from palladian to gothic (with some 20th century intrusions) down to the suitably 'redbrick' buildings of the Ballarat School of Mines. Here the road swings round to the west so the range of prison buildings bookend the whole composition with a dramatic solemn coda " -From forum article

The problems involved in the development of distributed simulation are varied and many. Solving these problems has been the topic of much research with one particular approach proving to be extremely popular: the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG), the MDA has been promoted as the cure to all the problems facing modern software development. Targeting the complexity of current software development techniques, the MDA is advertised as an evolutionary shift in the way software is created. Despite the bountiful and vivid claims made in the many corners of industry and academia, the MDA provides no easy answers. With a flavour distinctly reminiscent of the push towards CASE tools that occurred through the 1980s, to a large extent, the MDA presents to the world a pair of rose coloured glasses through which software development is reduced to an exercise in diagram drawing. While the advantages of such an approach are numerous, it also presents many disadvantages. Where a cure to development complexity is sought, a new form of complexity is introduced. The advantages of the MDA have been documented in numerous works, within both the modelling and simulation community and the wider software development population. This paper seeks to raise awareness of the often-ignored problems involved with the MDA by taking a critical look at the motivation, claims and processes involved.

"Non-economical industrial sites are being demolished in Geelong, making way for alternative economic development. Whilst progress is inevitable, I question the wisdom of short-term financial gain over long-term loss of identity. The association of industrial buildings with the concept of cultural heritage, art and architecture does not seem so incongrous in other parts of the world."--leaf 2.
