2020's focus on traditional arts funding came at the expense of our creative growth sectors, writes Creative Australia delegate Stuart Cunningham
The Australia 2020 Summit brought people from the heights and the streets together to meet and exchange ideas. It was an exciting concept that produced many valuable ideas.

Broadband : towards understanding users

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:12:06 +1000

This paper suggests that the forgotten domain of the complex and vigorous debates about the future of higher speed broadband in Australia is the experience and expectations of users and consumers with broadband. Research to date about such user experiences, especially in Australia, has essentially concentrated on Internet services and mainly with narrowband users. Yet Internet is not broadband. We, in Australia, have much to learn from recent European experiences with broadband.

A robust object category detection system using deformable shapes

paitken — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:00:22 +1100

An object can often be uniquely identified by its shape, which is usually fairly invariant. However, when the search is for a type of object or an object category, there can be variations in object deformation (i.e. variations in body shapes) and articulation (i.e. joint movement by limbs) that complicate their detection.

Crisis of innovation: looking elsewhere

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:15:09 +1000

Considerable attention has been given in recent months to the complexity of issues surrounding broadband policy for Australia. While there appears to be widespread support that Australia needs to move from what might presently be called `rudimentary' or possibly `adequate' broadband, and largely only for urban dwellers, there are many calls for the urgent availability of `enabling' broadband. The unravelling of these terms depends upon what users expect from broadband, what speeds they require, and how much they are prepared to pay for the service.
