The authors present and discuss several design issues associated with two Australian national RFID projects, implemented based on the EPCglobal Network. Using practical experience gained from these projects, they identify several areas of improvement and research opportunities for future large-scale RFID implementations and deployments.John P.T.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Experiences with the AT&T Internet Difference Engine
No full textUnlike the numerous tools that exist for identifying when documents have changed, the AT&T Internet Difference Engine (aide) identifies how they have changed. Also, because it archives past versions of pages, it provides the ability to see the evolution of pages being tracked, or to see changes across a set of related pages at the same points in time. Finally, Webguide (the Web Graphical User Interface to a Difference Engine) provides a graphical front-end to aide that enables users to see changes to many documents at once. This paper reports some experiences with aide. It discusses the evolution of the system, its current state, and future plans. It also raises some sociological and legal issues. 1 Introduction The World Wide Web (www) is a medium for the dissemination of many kinds of information, changing at different rates and in different ways. While only a limited number of pages may be of interest to an individual, the total number of pages one might pay attention to tends to i..
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
