In this paper, based on an ethnographic study, we show how management controllers craft their jobs through their daily practice and try to stretch their occupational identity. We adopt an original posture, developing a ‘negative ontology’ of practice, identity at work and professional competition. We argue that studying what individuals hide or despise in their daily activities enriches our und...

Policy support for H.323 call handling

The need for policies to control calls is justified by the changing face of communications. An overview is given of a general architecture and language for policies. It is then shown how these are adapted for control of calls using the H.323 multimedia communications standard. Policy support for H.323 was created by extending an open-source gatekeeper. The core policy language has been speciali...

Intrusion Alert Prototype for Hec

A wired fence based intrusion detection and alerting mechanism for boundaries separating wildlife habitats and human settlements was implemented, particularly as a solution to the Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC). The objective of the research reported in this paper is to propose and verify an alternative technique for this wired fence based alerting mechanism to overcome its limitations and to im...
