To keep the industry up-to-date and informed about
current and prospective research initiatives, the IICT has developed
a Seminar Program which encompasses the Institute's principle research
themes. Throughout the year research presentations are given by
our principle research leaders, research students, industry keynote
speakers and research visitors.
These seminars and other events are advertised
as they are organised.
Conferences
Dr Melanie Kan, IICT Post-DOctoral Fellow, facilitated
a workshop on "Issues surrounding the use of Grounded
Theory in IS research" on 1 December 2005 at the Australiasian
Conference on Information Systems, Sydney.
ITHET 2006 (7th International Conference on Information
Technology Based Higher Education and Training)
ITHET 2006 was held at the University of Technology Sydney
from 10th to 13th July, 2006. It aimed to bring together experts
from both university and industry to discuss the current state
of the art for learning using information technology. Virtual
environments, e-training, and e-learning were topics of particular
interest. For more information, please visit the website at http://ithet06.eng.uts.edu.au/
The IICT welcomes visits from national and international
researchers through its IICT Visitor Program. November
2005 - Professor Jacob Buur, Professor of User-Centred
Design at the Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark
visited UTS in November 2005. Professor Buur's background is in
the manufacturing industry, and much of his research is focused
on the interaction with physical products, rather than screen
interfaces. Professor Buur presented a workshop during his stay
at UTS on User Centred Design.
17 & 18th November 2005 -
Professor Franz Pichler of the Institute of Systems Theory and
Simulation at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria
also visited UTS during November and offered two lectures. Professor
Pichler is an international authority on formal engineering design
and modelling methods for the application in fields of Systems
Architecture, Digital Voice Processing, Digital Image Processing
and Cryptography. His past work involved application of Walsh
Functions in signal processing and communication engineering,
holonic approaches in modelling, methods of system decompostion
as well as artifical intelligence systems.
