The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Efficient Management of Things for the Future World Wide Web. The future World Wide Web will connect billions of physical objects, which will offer exciting capabilities to change the world and improve the quality of human lives, just as what the Web has done in the past 20 years. Effectively and efficiently managing things is one inevitable challenge in this new era and is much more complicated than managing traditional Web documents. This project aims to focus on this key problem and develop n ....Efficient Management of Things for the Future World Wide Web. The future World Wide Web will connect billions of physical objects, which will offer exciting capabilities to change the world and improve the quality of human lives, just as what the Web has done in the past 20 years. Effectively and efficiently managing things is one inevitable challenge in this new era and is much more complicated than managing traditional Web documents. This project aims to focus on this key problem and develop novel techniques for linking resource-constrained things to the Web, searching them using a new search engine, as well as discovering latent relationships among things for advanced management tasks such as things recommendation and composition.Read moreRead less
Effective, efficient and scalable processing of big geo-textual streams. This project aims to develop novel approaches to realise the value of geo-textual data, which carries both location and textual information. The project expects to address three key challenges brought by massive volumes and high speeds of big geo-textual streams: better user experiences; increased efficiency; and greater scalability in query processing. The project should provide individuals, business and government agencie ....Effective, efficient and scalable processing of big geo-textual streams. This project aims to develop novel approaches to realise the value of geo-textual data, which carries both location and textual information. The project expects to address three key challenges brought by massive volumes and high speeds of big geo-textual streams: better user experiences; increased efficiency; and greater scalability in query processing. The project should provide individuals, business and government agencies with the ability to unlock key values in the overwhelming volume of high-speed, big geo-textual streams for important usage in many emerging key applications, such as social media analytics, location-based services, social networks, e-marketing and cybersecurity.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop efficient and scalable algorithms to process large-volume dynamic graphs in the cloud. The project expects to address key challenges and lay theoretical foundations in large-volume dynamic graph processing, which plays an important role in developing general-purpose, real-time structural search engines. Expected outcomes of this project include theoretical foundations and scalable algorithms to process big graphs that evolve rapidly over time. These enable users to monitor and analyse structural information in large dynamic networks in real time. The project expects to open up a new research direction for graph processing to enrich frontier technologies and benefit many key applications in Australia.Read moreRead less
Positive Computing: The design of technologies that support psychological wellbeing. Designing future technology to foster psychological wellbeing has the potential to affect population-wide positive change. The design of software like apps or social media, can impact things like cyber-bullying, depression, or even foster resilience. This project aims to connect experts across multiple disciplines (psychology, technology and policy) to develop pioneering methods, knowledge, and strategies that w ....Positive Computing: The design of technologies that support psychological wellbeing. Designing future technology to foster psychological wellbeing has the potential to affect population-wide positive change. The design of software like apps or social media, can impact things like cyber-bullying, depression, or even foster resilience. This project aims to connect experts across multiple disciplines (psychology, technology and policy) to develop pioneering methods, knowledge, and strategies that will allow future technologies to play an active role in improving health, performance, and quality of life for all Australians, through research-based design for wellbeing. In doing so, Australia will lead the way on the technological front in a growing global initiative to improve the wellbeing of nations.Read moreRead less
Next generation real-time trajectory mining for travel and transportation decision support. Mining human and vehicle trajectories in real time will enable a suite of next-generation applications such as traffic overload prediction, real-time event detection and route recommendation. This project will develop novel techniques for immediate mining of massive volumes of trajectory data as it is being continuously generated.
