Dr Thomas has degrees in computer science, physics and education; these degrees are from Flinders University of South Australia (PhD), University of Virginia (MS), and George Washington University (BA). For the past ten years he has been at the University of South Australia working in the research areas of graphical user interfaces, wearable computers, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Previously, he has worked in the area of automated manufacturing at General Electric and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and 3D graphics and user interfaces at the Computer Sciences Corporation.

In 2003 Aaron was in his honours year of Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Engineering). For his Software Engineering Project he was working with Vivian Nguyen in the e-world lab. Together they developed an application called Plexus, which was an Interactive Coordination Interface for Ubiquitous Workspaces. His supervisors for the project were Dr Vernik and Dr Bright.

Vivian is doing her final (4th) year of a Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Engineering) Honours degree. She started working in the e-World lab during the summer of 2002-2003 as an internship student. The topic for her summer research was the "Use of tuplespaces in future workspace environments". The summer work has been extended into her Honours project. Along with Aaron Stafford, they work on the Plexus application, which is an interactive coordination interface for ubiquitous workplaces. More details for this project are at here. Her supervisors are Dr Bright and Dr Vernik.

Terence has a B. Information Technology from Flinders and a B.Computer & Information Science (Hons) from UNISA. His Honours thesis focused on investigating the integration aspects of enterprise-enabled ubiquitous workspace architectures. This work is being extended for his PhD into investigating orchestration services for ubiquitous workspaces. Orchestration, in this context, means facilitating and expediting the processes and paths that people follow in the course of achieving a goal. The setting for the research will be a warroom, which is an environment that typically includes intense, hectic exercises such as planning and collaborative activities with tight deadlines. This is different to flexible workflow management and automation in that it needs to support the cognitive and capricious characteristics of human behaviour. This work is being undertaken in conjunction with DSTO at Edinburgh. His supervisors are Dr Vernik and Dr Bright.

His other interests include natural history, science fiction and philosophical enquiry and he has a background in the commodity and financial markets.
