Distinguished Speaker Series |
|
Date: 14th July 2010
Time: 2-3 pm
Speaker 1: Dr Farid Meziane, Reader from Salford University, UK
Title: Business Intelligence
Abstract:
The talk looks at how business organisations are exploiting the availability of information provided by customers’ behaviours to increase their profits and target individual customers. Becoming one of the hottest research areas in computer science and information systems, the talk will look at current developments of BI and discusses some of the research related issues in BI.
Date: 15th July 2010
Time: 2-3 pm
Speaker 2: Dr Ian Douglas, Associate Program Director in the Learning Systems Institute (LSI) at Florida State University (FSU), USA
Title: Web-based knowledge sharing across communities
Abstract:
This presentation will describe a series of research projects designed to investigate the efficient connection of communities-of-interest and communities of practice through the web. The projects include a portal to help energy researchers in Florida discover and locate on-going projects relating to their interest. A spin-off project from this one is currently helping Florida state government agencies with the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A second project has recently received funding from the US Institute of Educational Sciences. The project will develop a prototype system that links location aware computing at a museum with a web site that connects students, teachers and scientists. The system will enable school field trips to museums and nature centers to be more interactive and educational. It will extend learning beyond the bounds of one field trip by one class and will enable learning and collaboration to occur on a much wider scale.

This week's seminar series which will be on Wednesday 7th July at 2pm in BMU. Cultural Modeling of Remote Communities Presenter: Dr Edwin Mit Abstract
There is an increasing number of initiatives in bridging the digital divide. This is reflected in a UNESCAP estimate, that half a million telecentres will be required in the Asia Pacific region. As such, there would be an increase in demand of software applications to serve these rural communities. However, existing software methodologies predominantly are targeted at organisations and communities in the urban areas. These methodologies generally do not accommodate target audiences such as those living in the rural areas. In this paper, we propose a generic cultural model which accommodates the different communities and explains the model using two remote communities in Borneo, East Malaysia. The resulting model can then be used to develop prototypes of software for these rural communities.
Crowd Modelling Behaviour based on Modified Microscopic Models in Panic Situation Presenter: Ms Hamizan Sharbini Abstract
There are many models lies under microscopic level that can serve as a basis to simulate crowd in more realistic and believable. The purpose of crowd simulation is to model the motions of objects within a specific environment. Applications of crowd simulation are numerous such as in computer science that includes study of crowd behaviour under different environmental conditions like panic situation. Therefore, this project will focus on analysis via available literature and to produce more realistic simulation based the microscopic models, namely Social Force Model (SF) that can reproduce individual and collective behaviours observed in real emergency evacuation situation. The modification of the model element will only pertain to crowd movement behaviour modelling in order to find an exit from a room in panic situation. This also incorporates simple visualization such that it has only a single point per object, whereby the people in crowd will be modelled using particle. Finally, the modified model is also proven to be allied with the ‘slower-is-faster’ theory.
