TELASCOPIC SIGHT WITH UPGRADED DURABILITY

Millimetre Science with the Upgraded Australia Telescope

A new astronomical window into the southern skies has been opened with the high-frequency upgrade to the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), which allows radio-interferometric mapping of sources at wavelengths as short as 3mm. In anticipation of the upgrade’s completion, a two-day workshop was held at the University of Melbourne in November 2001. The workshop covered a diverse range of fi...

Oscillation Measurements with Upgraded Conventional Neutrino Beams

We consider the ! e oscillation measurements that would be possible at upgraded 1 GeV and multi{GeV conventional neutrino sources driven by future megawatt{ scale proton drivers. If these neutrino superbeams are used together with detectors that are an order of magnitude larger than those presently foreseen, we nd that the sensitivity t o ! e oscillations can be improved by an order of magnitud...

Sound sight: seeing with ultrasound

Recent advances in medical imaging, information and communication technology promise to support medical visual practice as well as everyday healthcare experience. However, this potential is not easy to realize. A better understanding of existing practices can inform socio-technical innovation. We draw on ethnographic observations and our involvement in the design of 'palpable computing' to exam...

Dependable Composite Web Services with Components Upgraded Online

Achieving high dependability of Web Services (WSs) dynamically composed from component WSs is an open problem. One of the main difficulties here is due to the fact that the component WSs can and will be upgraded online, which will affect the dependability of the composite WS. The paper introduces the problem of component WS upgrade and proposes solutions for dependable upgrading in which natura...
