Supervised autonomy for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) using limited bandwidth communication channels. The project aims to improve the feedback link between an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and an operator by developing novel acoustic communication schemes that exploit developments in machine learning, network, and communication theory and represents a step towards truly autonomous and intelligent surveying using AUV systems.
New high-performance iterative error correction codes. This project develops new error correction codes to underpin the success of next-generation communications technologies. The nature of the project presents significant potential for project outcomes to be beneficial to the Australian telecommunications industry in a wide range of application areas from optical communication to digital broadcasting.
Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.
Software Defined Networking: Transforming Emergency Operations. The project aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Australia's emergency operations, for example, bushfire and rescue missions, by providing robust and integrated communications systems for police and the emergency services. Emergency communications systems are currently fragmented by the different technologies, creating disconnected islands of information. The project aims to provide techniques that allow multiple wire ....Software Defined Networking: Transforming Emergency Operations.

New error correction strategies for continuous variable quantum key distribution. Quantum key distribution is a completely secure method for two distant parties to share a unique secret key. The aim of this project is to design new algorithms, construction tools and analysis techniques to produce new iterative error correction codes, which will improve the operational distance and performance of quantum key distribution.
Multiple-input, multiple-output short range optical communications: a broadband solution with virtually unlimited bandwidth. This project will develop new short range communications systems with virtually unlimited bandwidth and combine the speed of optical communications with the convenience of wireless. Applications range from rapid data download to portable devices such as smart phones, to communications within very high speed computers.

Summary
Integrated Interconnects in Data Centres and High-Performance Computing. High-speed interconnects are needed to link, transmit, retrieve, and process intensive data in a time- and energy-efficient and cost-effective manner in data centres and high-performance computing. This project aims to investigate high-speed, integrated interconnects, including novel integrated devices and transceivers on silicon platforms, flexible subsystems and overall system architecture. The research outcomes will be b ....Integrated Interconnects in Data Centres and High-Performance Computing. High-speed interconnects are needed to link, transmit, retrieve, and process intensive data in a time- and energy-efficient and cost-effective manner in data centres and high-performance computing. This project aims to investigate high-speed, integrated interconnects, including novel integrated devices and transceivers on silicon platforms, flexible subsystems and overall system architecture. The research outcomes will be beneficial to a number of industries including integrated chip and circuit design and fabrication, integrated systems, and network infrastructures, and will enable faster platforms for cloud computing, sensing, signal processing, and computational health.Read moreRead less
Autoconfiguration of critical network infrastructure. In 2000, Vitek Boden hacked into Maroochy Shire's sewerage system, causing hundreds of kilolitres of raw sewage to flow into a public area, causing financial and environmental damage, and the potential for the spread of life-threatening disease. The goal of this project is to improve the security of Australia's critical infrastructure, for instance, electricity and water supply.

In 2000, Vitek Boden hacked into Maroochy Shire's sewerage system, causing hundreds of kilolitres of raw sewage to flow into a public area, causing financial and environmental damage, and the potential for the spread of life-threatening disease. The goal of this project is to improve the security of Australia's critical infrastructure, for instance, electricity and water supply. The project’s approach is to simplify the critical bottlenecks in communication between plant equipment and company management, namely, the firewall that protects the critical plant equipment from viruses and hackers. Simplification will improve transparency and hence reduce the possibility that security holes allow an incident similar to that of this incident, or worse.Read moreRead less
