			Plenary Speech The Crucial Role of Information Communication Technology in Western Australia Professor Lyn Beazley AO Western Australia Chief Scientist This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: Western Australia relies heavily on information communication technology to underpin the resources sector, from exploration to mining, refining and restoration. Continual sophisticated monitoring is also required to monitor ocean currents, as predictors of our climate and longer term monitoring of climate change. Protection of our unique biodiversity requires close observation of the environment, with data bases to record location of species and events such as movements of migratory species, of introduced predators and of fire events. Information communication technology will also be crucial to the success of the extensive radio-astronomy research programme being undertaken in Western Australia, associated with Australia’s bid to host the Square Kilometre Array, a project to build the largest network of radio-telescopes in the world.
Professor Lyn Beazley AO Chief Scientist for Western Australia

			Keynote Speech Data Integration at Scale: From Relational Integration to InformationEcosystems Dr Michael L. Brodie Chief Scientist Verizon, USA This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: Like much of computing, distributed computing emerged as a computational paradigm for network-based applications such as telecommunications, computing and sensor networks, in 1960s and 1970s operating systems and computing architectures applied. In this first stage of computing, Computer Science 1.0, distributed computing was technology driven. The second stage of computing, Computer Science 2.0, is characterised be qualitatively new infrastructure and technologies, including service-orientation, cloud computing, the web, and mobility, that have contributed to quantitative changes in data and transaction volumes, due in part to the unbelievable explosion of applications. More importantly, Computer Science 2.0 marks a shift from a focus on technology to a focus on problem solving, which in turn marks the growing maturity of the relatively young science of computing. While distributed computing was driven by technology in Computer Science 1.0, it will be driven by problem solving and applications in Computer Science 2.0.
Dr Michael L. Brodie Chief Scientist Verizon, USA


Since human activity – scientific, industrial, business, social - is distributed across the globe, it is likely that most applications and problem solving is correspondingly, hence naturally, distributed. The trend to computing support for naturally distributed human activity and problem solving can be seen in the unimaginable growth of the Web, and of mobility, both of which are unleashing natural human and economic forces. For example, in just over two years, over 50,000 applications have emerged for the Apple iPhone leading one to imagine, that in reality, the world is far more distributed than our centralised computing paradigm had led us to believe. Hence, in Computer Science 2.0 there will be an explosion of distributed computing that was only hinted at by the phenomenon of the Web. Data integration, one of the limiting factors of Computer Science 1.0, is a sine qua non for Computer Science 2.0 in which most computing will be distributed thus involving integration or interoperation in almost every task. Data integration is critical to all distributed computing from communications and protocol mappings all the way up to distributed scientific and industrial applications that share and exchange data at scale – in both the numbers and size of data sources. This talk examines the nature of data integration and the challenges of industrial-scale data integration in the largely pre-web Computer Science 1.0, and speculates on the corresponding challenges at web-scale in a distributed world supported by the largely distributed Computer Science 2.0. Dr Michael L. Brodie is Chief Scientist of Verizon Services Operations in Verizon Communications, one of the world's leading providers of communications services. Dr Brodie works on large-scale strategic Information Technology opportunities and challenges to deliver business value from advanced and emerging technologies and practices. He is concerned with the 'Big Picture', core technologies, and integration within a large scale, operational telecommunications environment. Dr Brodie holds a PhD in Databases from the University of Toronto and has active interests in the semantic technologies, next generation web, SOA, and other advanced technologies to address secure, interoperable web-scale information systems, databases, infrastructure, and application architectures. Dr Brodie has authored over 150 books, chapters, and articles and has presented over 150 keynotes or invited lectures in over 30 countries.

			Keynote Speech Design of Network-based Intelligent Software Professor Bogdan Maciej Wilamowski Editor-in-Chief of 'IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics' This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: With the increase of internet bandwidth, the World Wide Web is changing the approach for software development. Traditionally, most software is developed for one particular platform such as DOS, Windows, Mac, Unix or Linux and it is not portable from one system to another because the user interface is system dependent and it has to be developed individually for every system. It is, however, possible to standardise web browsers to use interface and such interface can be moved easily from one platform to another. At the same time, the software can run on the same computer or run remotely on a network computer. Interestingly such software is very portable and can be easily recompiled on various systems. Such an approach has several advantages: (1) Fully portable user interface (2) Easy recompilation for different platforms (3) Superb pirate protection (company need not give user the code) (4) Possible pay-per-use (small companies need not pay for giant software if it is not used often) Several examples of such network-based software were developed in order to test the concept such as: SIP - Spice Internet Package which let users run the unlimited version of the SPICE program over the internet; ICP – Internet Compilers Package where many compilers were implemented for various computer languages such as C, C++, Fortran, Pascal and JAVA; Controlling Robots via Internet; Neural network simulation tool running over the network; Manuscript collection and evaluation; GradeWatch which is a system for interactive presentation of students’ grades for email communication with students. In addition to discussing these, several Internet Robots will be demonstrated.

			Keynote Speech A Photonics Based Intelligent Airport Surveillance and Tracking System Professor Ian White Centre for Photonic Systems, Cambridge University, UK This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: Airport terminals will increasingly require ubiquitous communications systems with high levels of computational power to provide the necessary intelligent automation to provide high quality services to passengers, stringent levels of safety and security that is as unobtrusive as possible, efficient processing of commercial goods and luggage, high quality information systems, airport transportation systems and appropriate support for in-house commercial ventures. These requirements will involve both fixed and mobile appliances, and hence an intelligent, adaptive, self-organizing and selfmanaging wired and wireless infrastructure will become an essential asset.
Professor Ian White Director, Centre for Photonics Systems, Cambridge University, UK


This paper describes how The INtelligent Airport(TINA) project is therefore seeking to develop a new seamless wireless/wired ubiquitous infrastructure able to meet the above requirements. It will concentrate on how a passive RFID, using a radio over fiber-fed distributed antenna system can be used to provide location and tracking information on tagged assets over a wide area. By using the distributed antenna system, it is possible to suppress fading and nulls of the narrowband RFID channel and this allows the accuracy of RFID reads to be greatly improved and the area over which they can be read to be greatly increased. It also allows the use of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to provide a good measure of tag position. Ian White gained his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Cambridge, England, in 1980 and 1984. He then was appointed a research fellow and assistant lecturer at the University of Cambridge before moving to become Professor of Physics at the University of Bath in 1990.

			Keynote Speech Next Decade of Social, Economical and Ethical Challenges and Perspectives of a Networked World Professor A. Min Tjoa Institute of Software, Technology and Interactive Systems Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: Information and communication technologies present new opportunities and challenges. The wide field of responsibilities related to the rapid development of ICT far exceeds the capability of the individual researcher. Direction could be given to the necessary joint efforts of scientists, developers, and other stakeholders in fulfilling these responsibilities. One focus of this keynote will be laid on the challenges to bridge the global digital divide as measured by the ICT Development Index of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The importance of continuing efforts to address privacy and security and the necessity of cooperation of governments and all stakeholders to develop effective approaches to protect online-privacy and protection against cyber exploitation will be investigated. Further, perspectives to implement innovative ICT accessibility and e-health concepts will be discussed. The impact of important new developments – such as cloud computing - will also be investigated. As an example; it can be shown that these developments reduce both the environmental effects of the ICT sector and at the same time could help to reduce environmental impacts of other sectors.

			Keynote Speech Service-oriented Architecture in Automation Dr Armando Colombo Schneider, Inc, EU This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Keywords: Service-oriented architectures (SoA), Web services for intelligent embedded devices and systems, flexible networked systems, reconfigurable ad-hoc run-time architectures, middleware technologies, networked (wired/wireless) devices and applications, collaborative automation, networked wireless control, integration of device-level services with enterprise IT systems. Why SoA and Collaborative Automation: The use of the SOA paradigm at the device and system levels of an automation infrastructure enables the adoption of a unifying technology for all levels of the enterprise, from sensors and actuators to enterprise business processes. This leads to information being available "on demand" and allows business-level applications to use high-level information for collaborative automation purposes as coordination control, diagnostics, monitoring traceability and performance indicators – resulting in increased overall equipment effectiveness and business agility. In turn, this allows meeting business and energy efficiency demands not foreseen at the design time.

			Keynote Speech Addressing Product Security Complexities Discovered after the Factory Michael W. Condry Senior Security Technologist Intel Corporation This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Abstract: Product development progresses through several phases starting with the ideas, development, manufacturing then support. All aspects have their challenges. However, exceptionally complex problems surround dealing with security problems discovered in a product after it has been shipped to a customer. Unfortunately, these occur more and more frequently in all areas of computer products. The computer world complicates matters with multiple vendors provide the components that make the product; any may contribute to the security exposure cause. In this presentation we examine the issues of coping with security failures discovered after the product leaves the factory. Both the causes and areas of product impacts are considered.
Dr Michael W. Condry Senior Security Technologist Intel Corporation


Dealing with them not just involves discovering and creating a "patch,” customer communications, training, and distribution are actually complex. Correction can be as simple as some web information and as costly as returning the product. Some preventions can be done during product development as well. We will examine the situation as it is today in the computer business, approaches being made, there complications and their impacts. Dr Michael W. Condry, after receiving his Ph.D. from Yale University Computer Science in 1980, Michael’s career has followed a mixture of academic and industry positions, mostly industry. He had teaching and research positions at Princeton and University of Illinois and industry roles AT&T Bell-Labs, Sun Microsystems, and Intel. His focus areas include software and firmware, operating systems, networking, internet applications, silicon technology and security having both research and development projects. Currently Michael is focused security technologies for the Intel platforms with a particular emphasis on security corrections that are made after sales. At the IEEE, Michael, a Senior Industrial Electronics Society (IES) AdCom member, chairs the Industry Forum conference series and the Technical Committee on standards. Michael also represents IES at IEEE Technology Management Council.
