qualitative researchers understandings of their practice and the implications for data archiving and sharing
Sociology, 2009Co-Authors: Alex Broom, Lynda Cheshire, Michael EmmisonAbstract:With the systematic archiving of qualitative data emerging as a distinct possibility in Australia, both the practices of qualitative research and how subsequent outputs are ‘used’ are coming under increased scrutiny and reflection. Drawing on a series of focus groups with qualitative researchers, this article critically explores the meanings ascribed to qualitative research practice and the perceived challenges posed by contemporary innovations in data Management, Access, and analysis through electronic archiving. The accounts presented provide much needed insight into key debates (and divergences) within the qualitative community regarding the values and meanings of qualitative practice, but also how contemporary innovations may come to challenge these core values.

The art of Spectral Management Access rules for VDSL2
2009Co-Authors: Rob F. M. Van Den BrinkAbstract:Spectral Management (SpM) involves managing an Access network such that different systems can co-exist with each other. In relation to DSL systems, spectral Management ensures that they can co-exist within the same cable. The use of spectral signal limits (specified via mandatory Access rules) is a necessity for all DSL deployments, and serves a common interest of all involved DSL operators. Such rules were relatively simple for legacy deployments such as ADSL, SDSL and HDSL, but are far more complicated for VDSL2. This is mainly a consequence of deploying VDSL2 from remote locations (e.g. street cabinets), where it should coexist with legacy equipment deployed from the central office. This paper summarizes the signal limits essential for VDSL2 and discusses the reasoning behind them. Such limits can only be effective if they are tailored to underlying business needs, geographic characteristics of the network, the installed base of legacy equipment, loop characteristics etc. As such, Access rules need to be country or region specific and cannot be copied blindly from neighbouring countries.

IVA - A Platform for Building Mobile Virtual Humans
Intelligent Virtual Agents, 2015Co-Authors: Andrew Feng, Anton Leuski, Stacy Marsella, Dan Casas, Sin-hwa Kang, Ari ShapiroAbstract:We describe an authoring framework for developing virtual humans on mobile applications. The framework abstracts many elements needed for virtual human generation and interaction, such as the rapid development of nonverbal behavior, lip syncing to speech, dialogue Management, Access to speech transcription services, and Access to mobile sensors such as the microphone, gyroscope and location components.
