Apple Innovation Grant Awarded to School of Computing and Mathematics Staff
Dr Graeme Salter and Sharon Griffith have successfully received an AUC (Apple University Consortium) Innovation Grant for their project titled, “Educational Tools and Templates for the iPhone.” The grant awards them $8,000 of hardware from AUC to be spent on the development of iPhone Applications. Read more about the AUC Innovation Grant.
In April this year, Graeme won a competitive staff scholarship and Sharon an allocated staff scholarship to attend the World Wide Developers 2009 (WWDC) Conference in San Francisco which gave them the opportunity of networking directly with Apple engineers, as well as listen to the latest Apple innovations and developments in pipeline for the next 12 months. The recent grant allows them the exciting opportunity of pursuing their interests in developing iPhone Applications. Read more about the AUC Scholarship Recipients.
New Book Published by Dr Ana Hol
Inspired by the research conducted for her PhD thesis, Dr Ana Hol from the School of Computing and Mathematics has published her first book titled, "eTransformation Guide: An Online System to Guide eTransforming SMEs". The book is aimed at General Managers and Chief Executive Officers of SME's (small to medium enterprises), as well as academics and other researchers in the field of Information Systems. It is expected that this book will help its readers understand that successful ICT selection and implementation requires a holistic business analysis and changes along four eTransformation dimensions.
