By registering, a user receives a password and a username which replaces the UNREGISTERED VERSION notice on the main window (see Figure 1). Technical support is also available to registered users, as well as upgrades within the following 12 months. ...

Overall, to a user that installed this distribution, the only reference to the shareware nature of this software was that in the opening window of the program (Figure 1), but should a user want to know more about the shareware nature of the software, the documentation was not readily available. ...

The development of software for wireless services on the Internet is a challenging task due to the extreme time-to-market pressure, the newness of the application domain, and the quick evolution of the technical infrastructure. Nevertheless, developing software of a predetermined quality in a predictable fashion can only be achieved with systematic...
Interacting with mobile applications and services remains di!cult for users because of the impact of mobility on both device capabilities and the cognitive resources of users. In this paper we explore the idea that interaction with mobile services can be made faster and more convenient if users are allowed to speculatively prepare in advance the se...
In this paper, we argue that a broad range of Internet-scale distributed applications can benefit from an underlying low-cost consistency detection framework that is an alternative to inconsistency avoidance and can detect inconsistency among nodes sharing data or services in a timely manner. This paper first presents an overview of the inconsisten...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that proposes the connection of objects to exchange information in order to reach a common objective. In IoT networks, it is expected that the nodes will exchange data between each other and with external Internet services. However, due to deployment costs, not all the network devices are able to...
The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Services (IoS) are two well-known exemplars of the emerging 'Internet variants'. These variants will be tightly interwoven yet specific with respect to the supporting technologies needed. The present paper discusses the five variants identified as essential by the authors: IoT, IoS, Internet-of-Human...

The IT professional unlike professionals in other disciplines does not have to abide by the strictures of a professional society. In Australia the professional IT association has a Code of Ethics that, while easily accessible, needs clarification to apply it in the real world. Though the ACS code is distinctly Australian in the way it has been formulated, it sits easily within the general tenets espoused by similar associations in other countries. Although cultural issues have influenced the moral philosophy of the ACS code, there are lessons from other countries that apply in the Australian context. Interpreting the code and applying it to one's situation can be facilitated through seeing how others have applied the code and through understanding its underlying tenets.
Computing graduates learn how to develop software and/or databases throughout a computing degree. Young graduates are setting up their own software companies to market their products internationally through the Internet, and also work as contractors. Such graduates need to not only be aware of how to protect their software by means of existing intellectual property systems, but also, how to draft a license agreement for their software, what terms can be negotiated in a software contract, and more. In this paper, we describe...
