Call for Position Papers
Domain-Specific Modeling raises the level of abstraction beyon
programmin
by specifying the solution directly using domain concepts. In many cases
final products can be generated automatically from these high-leve
specifications. This automation is possible because both the language an
generators need fit the requirements of only one company and domain

Object-Oriented programming languages, such as Java, use objects as th
fundamental building blocks for representing the world. While thi
approach enables rich representation of the properties and behaviou
of objects, it provides surprisingly limited support for representin
relationships in ad-hoc ways, which results in needless errors, cod .....

Taxation Office (ATO) and Macquarie University have gained funding unde
the ARC Linkage Projects (LP0561985) to support a research program fo
the optimisation of tax collections by improving the prediction an

Predictive models for financial distress and insolvency risk will b
developed in this project. These models will be used to contribute to th
understanding taxpayers; circumstances and the choice of appropriat
collection actions. The successful applicant (PhD student) will conduc
research in Macquarie's Intelligent Systems Group and collaborate wit
the Analytics team in the Office of the Chief Knowledge Officer at th
ATO. The student will spend time at the ATO being briefed by domai
