This paper proposes a novel approach in integrating seemingly contradictory approaches of teaching and learning via collaborative and personalised learning activities by using augmented reality museum exhibits. The paper highlights the benefits that computer supported collaborative learning and computer supported personalised learning bring or promise to bring to the learner. A proposal is given for a study that will setup a common ground for these two approaches via a location-aware augmented reality museum display. The principal aim of the study is to investigate how the process of learning collaboratively is intertwined with personalised experience of visiting the museum display. Ultimately, the result of the study will provide a new understanding of visitor's experience of museum displays, not only within the context of the museum's location, but also within the classroom where the visit truly begins and finishes.

The effort to personalise eLearning has led to the development of sophisticated Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) systems that can adapt to many aspects of the learner's characteristics or explicit preferences. However, while many of these adaptations are grounded in sound pedagogical theories, it is unclear how effective such adaptations are in supporting everyday teaching and learning processes that take place in the classroom today. This paper presents a study that explores what teachers in the UK, who have been named by their colleagues as implementing best-practice in the classroom, expect from an eLearning platform that can adapt to the individual needs of their students. The result of the study shows that there are currently some discrepancies between the teachers' expectations and what adaptive hypermedia currently offers. The paper then concludes by describing how these discrepancies can be addressed in future AH systems.

The paper presents a general architecture for a P2P data sharing facility within a multi-agent framework, where peers as autonomous high-level nodal agents cooperate with each other to solve global tasks. A node may have several lower level local agents including local databases and partial global ontologies. In addition there are also minder agents coordinating the activities of the peers that offer the same type of service, thus providing fault-tolerance. The ability of this architecture in data and task sharing has been demonstrated by considering query processing and directory update strategies.

Pervasive computing environments need to exhibit highly adaptive behavior to meet the changing task requirements and operational context of visiting mobile users. However this must be balanced with the need of resource owners to meet their goals in administering how users use their resources. This presents challenges of how to manage adaptive systems and how such management should be exercised by people, both average pervasive computing users and administrators of pervasive computing resources. This paper presents some of the issues involved in reconciling dynamic user-centric adaptation with the management of autonomic systems to meet high-level management policies. It discusses our architectural approach and presents some initial research results in addressing these issues.

We have studied the hydrostatic pressure dependence of Ge nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix on a Si substrate by Raman scattering at room temperature. During the first cycle of increasing pressure, we observed a step change in the Ge Raman mode from 310.4 to 313.8cm−1 at ∼23kbar. The linear pressure coefficients α obtained before and after the step change at ∼23kbar are 0.42 and 0.64cm−1kbar−1, respectively. Upon decreasing pressure, the Ge mode follows a single slope of pressure coefficient α=0.64cm−1kbar−1. A finite-element analysis was carried out to investigate the elastic-field distribution in the Ge/SiO2/Si nanocrystal system, where the discontinuity of the specific geometric configuration with different elastic constants causes local areas of stress concentration around the interface. The step change of the Raman shifts with pressure at ∼23kbar was attributed to complete delamination between the SiO2 film and the Si substrate.

This paper outlines an Architectural Model and accompanying modeling notation that addresses on the need to model management component interfaces and their business contexts in a technology neutral manner in order to promote convergence on stable, reusable solutions. The approach combines existing modeling concepts related to component-based and model-driven software development from TINA-C, OMG, DMTF and TM Forum in order to provide guidance on the development of models that need to be exchanged between organizations involved in the development of software components and the management systems in which they are used. The Architectural Model is assessed through application to the management a specific set of e-business support services.
