I would like to welcome all of the participants to the 2nd Australian Control Conference (AUCC) and the city of Sydney on behalf of the AUCC 2012 Organising and Technical program Committees, as well as our main sponsor Engineers, Australia. AUCC is a conference series that is organised by Engineers Australia through its National Committee for Automation, Control and Instrumentation (NCACI). The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society and is held annually in various locations in Australia. The first AUCC was held in Melbourne in 2011 and the next AUCC will be held in Perth in 2013.

Design is a knowledge intensive activity, which depends on information to be undertaken. Previous designs, recent innovations, new techniques and materials must be taken into account when working on a new project, whatever its nature. Designing a plan is no different from designing a physical artifact, in that several constraints and requirements must be taken into account. Therefore, a collaborative approach that enables the refinement of plans through Public Engagement is of paramount importance to the design process. Many studies have been undertaken regarding the promotion of public participation in the planning process. In this situation, the population can be seen as an important source of information, because they experience the environments addressed by the proposed plan on a daily basis. However, the interaction between government and population presents cultural, political and technological challenges. In this paper, we present the Scenario-Based Collaboration Process (SBCP), which aims to Refine Plans through Public Engagement.

Many mobile applications are developed every day. One important application domain is the Emergency Management. The use of mobile devices by emergency teams can play an important role during the response phase, where fast actions are essential. Applications in this domain can use mobile devices to support awareness, communication, coordination and collaboration, the four pillars of team work. In many cases, however, mobile devices are introduced only in substitution of radio communication. To enhance the use of mobile devices in emergency management a framework is needed to ensure that communication tools are built with the essential features for effective communication between teams and skilled emergency response. The goal of this paper is to assist software developers in dealing with communication problems in the development of mobile applications to support the emergency response.

Design is a knowledge intensive activity, which depends on information to be undertaken. Previous designs, recent innovations, new techniques and materials must be taken into account when working on a new project, whatever its nature. Therefore, retrieving appropriate information is of paramount importance to the design process. Information retrieval is an established field, which has seen great progress in recent years. However, as the amount of unstructured information available increases, it becomes harder to retrieve the most relevant information using standard techniques and, frequently, users end up with results that don't fulfill their information needs. In this paper, we present an approach to improve retrieval using query expansion through ontologies allied to faceted navigation. We constructed the Ontoogle tool, which uses an ontology describing a domain to expand the query and define result ranking and presentation using Faceted Navigation. This proposal was evaluated in a case study and the results indicate that this approach contributes to increased satisfaction and confidence of users during their search process.
Collective Intelligence has received much attention in recent years, as organizations and businesses discover the power of crowds. With new technologies, such as blogs, twitter, wikis, photo sharing, collaborative tag...
