Beyond Best Practices: Reflections on how IBIS and Compendium fit into collaborative project delivery (and a book preview)
This event took place on Thursday 24 February 2011 at 14:00

 
Paul Culmsee Seven Sigma Business Solutions

Seven Sigma have been successfully using IBIS, Compendium and Dialogue Mapping as a core part of our practice for several years in combination with other collaborative project delivery tools and techniques. More recently, Seven Sigma’s Paul Culmsee, along with Kailash Awati have been writing a book that lifts the lid off the often misguided notion of best practices. Visualising problems are given considerable coverage. However the book is not just about hypermedia or dialogue mapping exclusively and incorporates many other ideas, patterns and practices. This talk will cover some of these areas and provide a real-world, in the trenches view of complex project solving in different disciplines and industries and how IBIS has been utilised.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...


Multimedia and Information Systems
Our research is centred around the theme of Multimedia Information Retrieval, ie, Video Search Engines, Image Databases, Spoken Document Retrieval, Music Retrieval, Query Languages and Query Mediation.

We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
