Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamic ....Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamically allocate resources to cells and users, taking into account user mobility and radio interference between multiple cells. Benefits from this research include competitive advantage to operators who will be able to differentiate service offerings and guarantee agreed QoS to their customers.Read moreRead less
Characterisation of Internet Traffic Matrices. The benefits to the community of characterisation of Internet traffic matrices arise because this information is used in the design of efficient and reliable networks. This is a genuine example of using the data we have more cleverly, rather than throwing money at a problem. Better information will result in the Internet becoming more efficient, and therefore cheaper, and at the same time more reliable.
ARC Molecular and Materials Structure Research Network. The Network will build powerful e-Science resources for the structural sciences. Collaborative remote access will be developed for sophisticated instrumentation, including instruments planned for the Replacement Research Reactor and Australian Synchrotron. A structure database service with cross disciplinary content and versatile visualisation and analysis capabilities will further exemplify smart information use.

Collaborative remote access will be developed for sophisticated instrumentation, including instruments planned for the Replacement Research Reactor and Australian Synchrotron. A structure database service with cross disciplinary content and versatile visualisation and analysis capabilities will further exemplify smart information use. The internet services will ultimately harness the Grid, enabling linkage into other national and international Grid systems. Encompassing physics, computer science, applied mathematics, chemistry and biochemistry, and catalysing interaction across these disciplines, the MMSN will impact all five National Research Priority 3 goals.Read moreRead less
Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas w ....Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas within Australia, in which the identification of new technologies capability is not well characterised. With a reduction in conventional heavy industry in the region, it is believed that a better understanding of new technologies capability for application to the southern region will promote essential economic growth.Read moreRead less
Internet traffic-matrix synthesis. This project will enhance research and development in Internet engineering by providing basic inputs to test and validate new ideas. The result will be a more efficient, reliable, and robust Internet.
Advanced Sweep-Line State Space Reduction Methods for Verification of Concurrent and Distributed Systems. The rigorous design and analysis of distributed systems, such as the Internet and its applications, is known to be a difficult problem. This project will develop new techniques for reducing the memory and time required for computer-aided verification of concurrent and distributed systems. The technique will be combined with other reduction techniques to increase their range of applicability. ....Advanced Sweep-Line State Space Reduction Methods for Verification of Concurrent and Distributed Systems. The rigorous design and analysis of distributed systems, such as the Internet and its applications, is known to be a difficult problem. This project will develop new techniques for reducing the memory and time required for computer-aided verification of concurrent and distributed systems. The technique will be combined with other reduction techniques to increase their range of applicability. The reduction techniques will be implemented and evaluated using important transaction protocols for electronic commerce and internet enabled wireless communications. The technique will also be applied to so called 'object-oriented' modelling languages.Read moreRead less
Voice over Internet Protocol: Privacy and Electronic Evidence Implications. Consumers currently use the traditional technology of the Public Switched Telephone Network system without fear of eavesdropping.

Consumers currently use the traditional technology of the Public Switched Telephone Network system without fear of eavesdropping. Law Enforcement has a legal right to intercept phone calls under prescribed conditions. This project offers support to policy makers and users in providing strategic advice in the secure transition of telecommunications to next generation networks. It provides a software solution to the threat to user privacy that may also feasibly be used to provide electronic evidence for law enforcement and intelligence agencies who increasingly have to look to means other than traditional telecommunications interception for evidence gathering from VoIP telephony.
