Asst Prof Arul Indrasen Chib	Dr. Arul Chib's research and teaching examines the impact of campaigns delivered via a range of communication technologies. The primary theoretical deliberation is around developing a robust explication of the mechanisms underlying the process of media effects. The analysis attempts to bridge multiple level of analysis: technology-mediated effects at the individual level and socially-mediated effects at the structural level. In terms of theorizing, the literature on health campaigns shows a paucity of documented learnings about specific projects. Much of the evidence is anecdotal, atheoretical, or at the global level of analysis. Further, while recently there is a trend towards looking at collective social-level phenomena, the theory lags the praxis. The notion that the process of social change brought about by communication technologies involves interaction between members of the social system, in addition to the direct effects paradigm, is far from new. Comparative testing of the mixed influence of communication technologies and interpersonal communication, and the process by which this occurs, has rarely been clarified in much detail, or linked to theoretical constructs. My research aims to develop quantitative models and methodologies that can capture processes at both individual and subgroup levels. I co-developed a stochastic, agent-based simulation model of information diffusion, called dFusion that examines these two influences: socially- and technology-mediated. It focuses on differential, rather than absolute, speeds of access to information. Specifically, the model demonstrates a clear causal link between social and/or media latency and the equality of information diffusion in a given network. The next step was to examine field-based data for testing theoretical validity. The model was tested using JHUCCP data collected during an HIV/AIDS media campaign in Namibia. Integrating traditional statistical analysis with social network analysis reveals the significance of socio-structural factors. Methodologically, limitations arise from missing attribute data of alters (individuals in one's network); diminishing validity of network measures of betweenness, a vital aspect of information flows. Further, the lack of panel data limits the ability to measure social influences. To address these concerns, my 2005 research project is designed as a pre-post health intervention located in the barrios (slums) of Lima, Peru. Multimedia games targeted at youth aid in sexual and reproductive health learning. We find that technology-mediated game-playing can be as, and in some cases are more effective than traditional health interventions. Further, the nature of a respondents' social ties (friendship, advice, and co-playing) determines the impact on efficacy and learning. Behavioral measures were inadequate for theoretical analysis due to the limited length of the intervention. Methodologically, self-reporting of social ties may be less revealing than measuring actual social interaction. My current research project presents an opportunity to address these limitations. I spent 2006-7 in the field initiating multiple ICT for development (ICT4D) projects in tsunami-affected countries. Foremost amongst these was a UNICEF/ UNFPA/ World Vision-funded cell-phone solution to improve maternal and infant mortality in the tsunami-ravaged regions of Banda-Aceh, Indonesia. This allows rural midwives to link up to hospital-based doctors to aid complicated pregnancies, receive training and support from coordinators at health centers, and instantaneously deliver medical indicators via SMS to a central database. This project, divided into test and control groups, has multiple data-collection points extending over 18 months. Traditional survey methodologies and social network analysis are triangulated with qualitative interviews, health-care statistics and telecommunication data.

Assoc Prof Boh Wai Fong	My scholarship examines how information technology and other mechanisms can be used to facilitate knowledge and information sharing across individuals, groups and organizations. My research tends to focus on the problems of knowledge and information sharing, and I investigate how technology and other mechanisms can be used to effectively solve these problems. Recently, I have also began to expand my research into related areas of expertise management for innovation. I have completed several research projects ? many of which are large scale empirical studies examining knowledge and information sharing at different levels. Allocation of Human Capital Resources. My research has shown that the allocation of human capital resources to different types of work and project teams have significant implications on learning and knowledge sharing, leading to better performance. For example, my work on software developers show that organizations should consider trade-offs between allocating software developers to work on specific systems to gain specialized experience versus allocating software developers to work on related and unrelated systems to gain diverse experience (Boh, Slaughter and Espinosa, 2007). Another research project also shows that appropriately allocating experts to project teams where their expertise is required overcomes the costs of coordinating across distance (Boh et al, 2007). I am also currently engaged in a research project examining how individuals? breadth and depth of expertise influences innovation success, and how organizations should allocate individuals with different expertise profiles to work on product development projects. Knowledge Management. More recently, my work has focused on examining how various mechanisms such as the use of information technology can help organizations to more effectively share the knowledge embedded in individuals. My studies show that contrary to conventional thinking, which tends to view knowledge sharing mechanisms as either technology or people-oriented, different knowledge sharing mechanisms are complementary in nature (Boh, 2007). Hence, designing a portfolio of mechanisms (beyond simply the use of information technology) based on the characteristics and culture of the organization is critical for effective knowledge sharing. Enabling Information Sharing across Organizational Units and Organizations. I believe that information technology plays a very significant role in facilitating information sharing across business units and organizations. Hence, some of my recent work examines how organizations can make use of IT standards and enterprise architecture to facilitate the integration and sharing of data across business units in a large organization (Boh and Yellin, 2007), or across organizations in a supply chain (Boh, Soh and Yeo, forthcoming).

Asst Prof Martin Constable	I am deeply fascinated by the way that compositing technologies (like Photoshop and Shake) have changed the shape of our culture. The role of the artist has been completely re-defined by these events. This change is comparable to the change wrought upon painters by the invention of photography. In my work as an artist I try to cross bread the disciplines of photography and painting. It is also very heavily informed by poplar culture, particular gaming, the cinema, space travel and advertising. My other line of research is in the field of digital aesthetics, which I feel are re-forming our view of the world and our expectations of it. Papers: Technarte.

Assoc Prof Sia Siew Kien	Enterprise Resource Planning ERP systems represent a major change in organisational information systems in terms of their scale and scope, reliance on vendors and advocacy of best practices. They are pervasive and often mission critical. Streamlining and integrating organisational procedures and standardising them over a single platform were what these systems promised. However, cases of expensive ERP implementations going awry has led many to recognise the inherent challenges of successfully implementing such complex package software. Research is currently in progress on these themes: (1) cultural fit of the underlying ERP business models, (2) partitioning the sources of misfits in ERP, (3) challenges in analysing, designing, and implementing ERP, and (4) ERP as an leverage for enterprise integration. Achieving Global Excellence in Asian Companies: Strategy, Governance and Technology The growth of the Asian market has led to the development of a select group of Asian companies that have successfully established an international presence. How did these enterprises transform themselves to capture the opportunities in the international market? What strategy and governance principles have they used? How has information technology enabled scale, responsiveness, and innovation in the highly volatile business environment? This research study seeks to understand the practices followed by a handful of leading Asian companies that have clearly established themselves as global leaders.
Assoc Prof Siew Chee Kheong, David	Research A/Prof Siew's research interests span three areas: (1) Quality of Service (QoS) Provisioning; (2) Congestion Control; and (3) Application of intelligent control to networking problems. The underlying network could be a wired, wireless or optical network. (1) While there is no shortage of proposed packet scheduling algorithms, our approach to the problem is slightly different. We are particularly interested in practical issues in search of low computational-complexity fine-granularity scheduling together with admission control that provide per-flow deterministic guarantees using class-based traffic treatment. This work would allow efficient QoS provisioning with specific queueing delay bounds. Our approach is to provide low-complexity service-curve based scheduling and admission control. Using nice properties of service-curves, we are able to avoid packet-by-packet analysis but provide an elegant analysis of the complex end-to-end QoS provisioning. We have recently proposed a low-complexity Flow-state-dependent Dynamic Priority Scheduling (FDPS) algorithm that could provide a service-curve based packet scheduling engine that enables per-flow deterministic guarantees. My recent in-press publication on per-flow QoS using class-based treatment is listed in [2]. (2) My interest in Congestion Control is to improve the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) fairness and prevent TCP collapse in best-effort networks. It is well-know that TCP performance is highly dependent on Round-trip-time (RTT), an issue that has attracted many investigations. While most existing works attempt to provide solutions at the transport-layer, our approach uses both the features of network-layer and transport-layer. Our recent work [1] demonstrated that our solution could improve TCP fairness by reducing dependence on RTT, and prevent TCP collapse by means of intelligent packet discarding [1]. It has been proven that classical TCP will not be efficient in such high bandwidth-delay product networks. As a result, we are currently interested in providing a comprehensive solution to networks (e.g. Grid computing networks) with high bandwidth-delay product. The issues of max-min fairness and rate of convergence are converging issues for the research. (3) We are interested to apply intelligent control to network problems would include stochastic QoS guarantees and/or wireless network carrying heterogeneous traffic. These works could involve cross-disciplinary solution using control theory, fuzzy logic or artificial intelligence. The natural progression of such works would be Application-layer QoS provisioning in which cross-layer issues dominate. We are currently interested in applying distributed algorithm for collaborative wireless networks. Solutions are needed for many challenging issues on how rate, delay and access control in this area.
