The current business intelligence capability of health information systems used in Australian health systems does not provide clinicians with sufficient actionable insights relevant to their own clinical settings. This paper explores ways to improve clinical outcomes by linking different multiple datasets held in a diverse set of clinical, research and other repositories in many different organisations. This research aims to realise this potential by identifying the most effective ways to utilise the growing amount of data generated by cancer care information systems through improved data linkage and application of big data and emerging business intelligence applications. Given the growing number and sophistication of big data in health initiatives and the insights that current big data researchers are producing, the issue of how well they are taken up and applied by clinicians becomes more important. For that reason, this paper aims to realise this potential by researching the most effective ways for clinicians to utilise the growing amount of data generated by cancer care information systems.

Identity theft is an insidious crime that disrupts the lives of individuals and society across the globe. The focus of this paper is to present research results that examines two different methods to address identity theft education at the college level. One strategy is a traditional text-based model while the other is a new game-based approach. A comparison of the results of the study reveals that students who received information via the game-based module performed better on the post education survey than their counterparts who drew the text-based track; In addition, those who received the game-based direction remained in the educational unit longer and enjoyed the experience more.

Kisan Call Centre is a service by Government of India aimed at providing agriculture related information to the farming community through a toll free number, 1800-180-1551. The Call Center's objective is to address the need of the farming community, using ICT, professional help and thus providing information at the farmer's doorstep, through this toll free telephone number. The study was conducted to assess the awareness of farmers about Kisan Call Centre, to analyze the extent of utilization, and to elicit constraints experienced by the farmers in using the services of the Centre. The study revealed that only 14% of the farmers were aware of the Kisan Call Centre. Among the users (farmers) of the Centre, 73 per cent came to know about the Call Centre through different media such as newspaper (30%), radio (23%) and television (20%), while 23 per cent knew about the services of the Centre through the local agricultural extension worker. Ninety per cent of the farmers used the Call Center service more than once, with 30 per cent of them four times or more. Most of the farmers contacted the Centre to get information on plant protection (34.44%) followed by crop cultivation (26.67%). Majority of the farmers who used the Call Centre were satisfied with the service. However, the farmers experienced problems in getting connected to the Call Centre. The farmers demanded for alternate solutions as well as for field service following the advisory services.

As society teeters on the verge of robotic automatons performing complex functions in every aspect of human existence, urgent questions arise concerning human accountability for ethics as they design robots capable of making moral decisions. The aim of this study considers a path toward an ethical paradigm for morally sentient robots. In order to determine the extent of human accountability, an ethical spectrum of robots is discussed. While seeking to define functional good in a robotic setting, the nature and degree of robotic sentience is explored. Subsequently, the divergent positions regarding an ethical paradigm for morally sentient robots must be examined. Following these experts' opinions, an analysis of a human/dog model for human/robot relations is explained. The constructs that frame the human/robot dynamic include Asimov's Laws, as well as necessary design considerations. An ethical paradigm results from a study of Plato's Republic through which emerges a means to find good for robots in a functional setting.

The pastoralist communities in Kenya and other parts of Africa rely on their livestock for survival. Their method of livestock farming is non-modern and is characterized by traditional livestock keeping practices and non-adherence to livestock rearing best practices. However, they have not been left behind in embracing mobile technology. The technologies in their disposal present opportunities that can be harnessed to increase productivity. For instance, the moderately high penetration of mobile phones among these communities provide a platform for mAgriculture interventions. This research aims to establish the readiness of pastoralists in Kenya, towards the usage of mAgriculture technologies that have the potential to transform their way of livestock keeping. The research explores the technologies available to the pastoralist communities living in three different Arid and Semi-Arid areas of Kenya, the level of exposure to mAgriculture platforms among these communities and how social, cultural and religious factors determine their adoption of mAgriculture innovations towards socioeconomic empowerment. The research was conducted in Marsabit, Wajir and Isiolo regions of Kenya. Information was collected using questionnaires as well as Focus Group Discussions among the participants. It was observed that a large number of pastoralists in Kenya own mobile phones, and a number of them have been exposed to mAgriculture applications. However, the mAgriculture innovations exposed to them have not been helpful due to social, cultural, religious and technological factors have hampered their penetration. The research identified the needs among these communities that can be met using mAgriculture platforms and proposes different ways of implementing these innovations among this group of people.

Interventions that focus on the socio-economic development of communities and the research associated with it, are costing governments, research initiatives, donor communities to name but a few, billions in terms of time, effort and money. It is easy to find research literature and practical examples of the countless initiatives that have failed and less that have succeeded. Different approaches have been followed and different roads have been taken, with little success. The question remains why so many initiatives fail and so little succeed? What has been done differently? What indicates `failure' and what indicates `success'... and for whom? This paper focuses on the human side of technology interventions and how these are to be approached in low-income communities.

Smart glasses come as an autonomous, wearable device that will diminish the gap between intention and action. Being a new technology, there are a plethora of diverse devices under development. We investigate them in order to discover elements of uniform characteristics under a two-fold reasoning. First examine the technical attributes that will facilitate professional usage into specific application domains. Second in a societal context detect the issues that will drive their adoption for consumer purposes. Our conclusion is that although there is a nucleus of common features being formed, further evidence of usability in the professional domains and overcoming societal issues is needed prior to their adoption for consumer applications.

Context-aware recommendation systems make recommendations by adapting to user's specific situation, and thus by exploring both the user preferences and the environment. In this paper, we propose a context-aware service recommendation framework utilising semantic knowledge in the Ubiquitous Consumer Wireless World (UCWW). The main objective of the framework is to provide users with the `best' service instances that match their dynamic, contextualised and personalised requirements and expectations, thereby aligning to the always best connected and best served (ABC&S) paradigm. In the proposed framework, services and their related attributes are modeled dynamically as a heterogeneous network, based on a given network schema. Then, profile kernels - referring to the minimal set of features describing the user preferences - are extracted to model the user profiles. Subsequently, a recommendation engine, considering both the user profiles and current context, is applied to recommend `best' service instances to users.

South African communities are constantly being developed through new ICT projects and technologies which are initiated by individuals, government and private organisations. The problem with these developments is that they are implemented in isolation. This isolation causes limited sharing of resources, duplication, poor-governance of the resources, and in worse-case scenarios, failure of these projects is realised before their intended purposes. The smart community centre model that could be used to address these problems by focusing on the Siyabuswa Educational Improvement and Development Trust (SEIDET) community centre for experimentation purposes has been proposed. This model followed a descriptive analysis of ICT related work spanning over two decades performed within the SEIDET context, including the ongoing SEIDET Digital Village. The benefits of this smart community centre model include community and rural development through sharing of scarce ICT resources. It could further provide support for entrepreneurs through training interventions, action-based research for policy development as well as spawn local innovation and free-sharing of resources and services. This model can further be adapted to any local community, as it is designed using the international studies and theories. This paper presents the design of the smart community centre model. The design is described using Practice Theory concepts towards an empirical study that will be conducted using the General Morphological Analysis methods to corroborate aspects of practices. The scenario of how these theories could be practiced within the SEIDET centre is also presented.
