Presenter: Christopher Fluke.

By harnessing the computing power of graphics processing units, or GPUs, it is possible to accelerate many challenging scientific computations. Thanks to the gSTAR supercomputing facility, the GERLUMPH project has generated over 25 Terabytes of data. This is helping astronomers to understand the physical properties of supermassive black holes lurking in the centres of extremely bright and extremely distant quasars. Recorded on 23 July 2014.

Presenter: Ajay Kapoor.

Electric Vehicle Group is one of the leading groups in the world in electric vehicle (EV) research, development, policy and education. Its vision is to transform society by significantly greening the personal transport utilising research in EV technology. Recorded on 23 July 2014.

Presenter: John Grundy.

In this talk Prof. John Grundy briefly summarises some of his group's work in the area of model-driven engineering. He defines the concept, overviews key components of MDE-based solutions, and illustrates the approach with four examples from their recent work. Recorded on 23 July 2014.

Presented by Jean Burgess and Axel Bruns on 15th August 2014.

This presentation outlines the emerging challenges for social media research in Australia, presents the current state of the field, and outlines the research agenda of the TrISMA project. In particular, we highlight the key practical, conceptual, methodological, and ethical issues which the project will need to address as it advances our current collective capabilities for conducting computationally-enabled social media research.

Presented by Professor John Hartley on 14th August 2014.

This presentation reports on a new ARC Indigenous Discovery Project, won by Len Collard (UWA), Kim Scott, the late Niall Lucy and John Hartley (Curtin). It starts from the observation that there are no Australian-Aboriginal language versions of Wikipedia, although minority-language versions do appear elsewhere, including Welsh, Upper Sorbian, Cree and Maori. It seeks to create the first "Noongarpedia", using the Noongar language of SW-WA to model and assess the extent to which minority languages can thrive by using globally accessible Internet technologies.
