Using the Web to learn about topics in educational technology, courses at both universities undertook a restructuring of content and delivery to examine the viability of the Web as a medium for collaborative learning through browsing, indexing, and publication. A student-centered delivery was negotiated at both SU and AU, with course leaders and laboratory demonstrators acting as facilitators. Students at SU were graduates with computer science training studying teaching methodology in Computing Studies, while those at AU were first-year students without computer science training studying Computer Literacy. At each university, students worked both individually and cooperatively in small groups to produce projects on a...

Crash fault tolerance describes the capability of a distributed system to maintain its proper fun... more Crash fault tolerance describes the capability of a distributed system to maintain its proper function despite the occurrence of crashes or failures in one or more of its components. When a distributed system possesses crash fault tolerance, it can be further fortified to achieve Byzantine fault tolerance. Byzantine fault tolerance empowers a distributed system to establish consensus among participants, even when faced with faulty or malicious behavior. Consensus plays a critical role in various tasks, including determining the accurate value of a shared variable, electing a leader, or validating the integrity of a business transaction. Compared to crash fault tolerance, Byzantine fault tolerance instills greater trust because it enables consensus even in the presence of malicious entities. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of two blockchain solutions that exhibit Byzantine fault tolerance, in contrast to a blockchain solution that demonstrates crash fault tolerance. ...

In particular, the paper examines whether blockchain platforms scale to support national and transnational e-business trading.

In this paper we present the design of a mobility digital ecosystem for public transportation services in a campus area network. We describe four context-aware applications that encourage users to disclose their location: a public transport passenger tracking application; a route-based car-pooling application; an on-campus location-based social networking “assistant” and a virtual art-gallery guided tour. The location-based service applications offered are intended to encourage users to participate in a digital ecosystem and in so doing share data about their location. This location data can be used to provide value-added services to the users and optimize overall system behavior. In this talk, I present the architectures of these four applications and address issues concerning privacy, location-identity and uniform standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Our applications provide environments that encourage individual interaction and engagement that are self-regulating and self-evolving: key characteristics of a digital ecosystem.

The success of the system depends on facilitating the development of culturally relevant folksonomies and encouraging a conversation between online communities. In this presentation we explore the relationships between stakeholders, folksonomy and taxonomy, to reveal the design strategies that inform this digital ecosystem. Given its capacity to span both collection management and community access issues, we maintain that the Virtual Museum of the Pacific is a significant model for online community interaction in the contemporary museum environment. The Virtual Museum of the Pacific is accessible at http://epoc.cs.uow.edu.au/vmp and you can watch a youtube presentation of it athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbSgKvWauP8

We motivate and explain the Digital Ecosystem metaphor. To this end, we demonstrate a combined Semantic Web and Web 2.0 approach to semi-automate the development of social media Web sites, in particular for Museum collections. The CollectionWeb framework has been applied in two Web-information systems, the Virtual Museum of the Pacific, developed for the Australian Museum and the Art Collection Ecosystem. Several other Web-based Digital Ecosystems are under development using the framework.

In CollectionWeb, digital artefacts of artistic or cultural significance are assembled in a Web-based content management system. A concept clustering technique called Formal Concept Analysis induces page impressions and drives semantic navigation. The object descriptions determine the navigation that can change with the user’s chosen perspective. All that need be done is for the Museum to describe an object to an adequate digital standard. In this way, leveraging existing metadata from a collection management system becomes a possibility for automatically generating Museum sites. Similarly, because association rules can be derived from Formal Concept Analysis, the sites provide a lightweight inference engine without semantic mark-up other than object metadata. The systems allow users to add their own tags to the objects, which in turn can influence the structure and the presentation of the collection. This self-organising capability is a key feature of CollectionWeb and is a key characteristic of the Digital Ecosystem metaphor in general. In doing so we present a compelling way for art institutions, museums and enthusiasts to present, organise and tag their collections.

It uses rich media and metadata content from the Australian Museum's Pacific Collection. The result is a innovative collection content navigation and social media web site.

Such systems are more difficult to implement when combined across multiple companies, transport types and providers. Even more challenging is the provision of services in a ticketless transport network. In the Digital Bus, connecting services, details of the next bus or train, local shops, businesses, hotels and other traveller-related information, are made available via GPS, wireless networks and personal mobile devices as well as in traditional forms such as signs and audible signals. In this seminar, I explain the challenge of planning services in a ticketless transport network using the Gong Shuttle and free University shuttle services as a case study for research on location-based transport services.

They are all examples of Web-based Digital ecosystems. Whether you are writing a book review on Amazon or tagging photos in Flickr, Digital Ecosystems foster interaction, engagement and collaboration within a naturally sustainable environment. Understanding their power is going to be one of the major differential factors for any successful organisation in the future, so come along to our next session where Peter Eklund and Tim Wray from the University of Wollongong, will share their expertise and experiences including:
