Subsurface scattering and light transport in volumetric media are critical to achieve a realistic depiction of a material. We describe several analytical approximations and methods for volumetric light transport in media of various optical properties that are efficient and easy to compute. Most natural materials exhibit a sudden surge in brightness called the opposition effect around the zero p...

Empirical studies into the governance of Information Technology (IT) have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms used to control the management of IT. However, there has been relatively little research into the formulation of a theoretical model of IT governance that explains and organises the growing collection of mechanisms into a coherent whole. To further advance the concept of the co...

Although a significant amount of work has be done on the subject of IT governance there still appears to be some disjoint and confusion about what IT governance really is and how it may be realized in practice. This research-in-progress paper draws on existing research related to IT governance to provide a more in-depth understanding of the concept. It describes the current understanding of IT ...
