<span>This paper describes research into multi-campus, video-on-demand at Monash University and its application to education. In education, video is used in a highly interactive way, for which traditional analog video tape is poorly equipped. During 1995, the Advanced Network System Performance Application Group and Monash's Department of Visual Arts recognised the potential of interactive video-on-demand and began a series of trials. The first used a small system located in the Visual Arts Library at Monash's Clayton campus. Academics, librarians and students were involved in evaluating the technology for teaching, research and study. This was followed by a larger, multi-campus trial, where video-on-demand was distributed from a central point on the Clayton campus to the main libraries at Monash's Clayton and Caulfield campuses using a high speed network. The trial is being extended to Monash's Berwick campus where interactive video-on-demand is being used as a research tool and to allow experimentation with more complex systems. This paper describes the outcomes, the difficulties, the potential for video-on-demand, and the factors that may affect its eventual uptake.</span>

In this time of pandemic, the world has turned to Internet-based, RTC (realtime communication) as never before. The number of RTC products has, over the past decade, exploded in large part because of cheaper high-speed network access and more powerful devices, but also because of an open, royalty-free platform called WebRTC. WebRTC is growing from enabling useful experiences to being essential in allowing billions to continue their work and education, and keep vital human contact during a pandemic. The opportunities and impact that lie ahead for WebRTC are intriguing indeed.

При решении задач динамики жидкостей и газов в области малых скоростей потока и при изотермических условиях с успехом применяется метод решеточных уравнений Больцмана (LBM). Для решения дискретного уравнения Больцмана может быть использован новый метод Particles-on-Demand (PonD), в котором в каждой точке сетки дискретизация функции распределения в пространстве скоростей центрирована относительно текущей скорости потока. В отличие от классического LBM, метод PonD применим не только для задач с малыми скоростями потока и при изотермических условиях. В данной работе реализован метод PonD D1Q5 с итерационным расчетом скорости переноса и явным расчетом первых трех моментов, включая скорости переноса. Показано, что рассмотренная модификация метода PonD хоть и накладывает ограничения на параметры, позволяет проводить расчеты в большем диапазоне допустимых скоростей. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate applicability of the Particle on Demand (PonD) D1Q5 method with the explicit calculation of the first three moments to problem with high speed of the flow. The standard LBM is applicable for small flow velocities. Thus to overcome this limitation we use PonD. In this work, we use conservative version of PonD - the D1Q5 method with the explicit calculation of the first three moments. Methodology. The Pond over LBM was applied to the Riemann problem in order to demonstrate the advantage of the method. In this work, we choose the case when contact discontinuities could propagate at variable speed. Findings. If the interpolation pattern is fixed relative to the point at which there is a current update of the discrete distribution function, then the transfer step can be written explicitly, thus the scheme is conservative. On the other hand, this imposes additional restrictions on the temperature and the flow rate. But even if the PonD scheme is limited to a fixed interpolation pattern, it is possible to simulate flows with larger values of the Mach number than in the case when the classical method of lattice Boltzmann equations is used. Originality/value. In the described particular case of the PonD method, it is possible to avoid iterations by calculating the temperature and velocity values directly at a new time layer. In this work, we have investigated the properties and the range of applicability (admissible values of temperature and velocity) of such modification of PonD.
