Effective Recommendations based on Multi-Source Data. Large-scale data collected from multiple sources such as the Web, sensor networks, academic publications, and social networks provide a new opportunity to exploit useful information for effective and efficient recommendations and decision making. The project will propose a new framework of recommender systems that is based on analysing relationships between different types of objects from multiple data sources. A graph model will be built to ....Effective Recommendations based on Multi-Source Data. Large-scale data collected from multiple sources such as the Web, sensor networks, academic publications, and social networks provide a new opportunity to exploit useful information for effective and efficient recommendations and decision making. The project will propose a new framework of recommender systems that is based on analysing relationships between different types of objects from multiple data sources. A graph model will be built to represent the extracted semantic relationships and novel linkage-analysis based algorithms will be developed for ranking objects. The results from this project will underpin many critical applications such as healthcare.Read moreRead less
Normalizing XML Documents. Our work will be of great benefit, both to the research community and to the ICT industry. The project addresses one of the most important problems in XML usage and we expect our results to be published in important international forums, as has our preliminary research on the topic. This will significantly improve Australia's reputation in research in the ICT area. In the longer term, we intend to build commercial software tools based on the results of our research ....Normalizing XML Documents.

A large-scale distributed experimental facility for the internet of things. This project aims to establish a large-scale, real-world experimental facility for the Internet of Things (IoT), which is currently missing in Australia, as well as in the rest of the world. The project is expected to be an essential instrument to achieve Australia’s leadership on key enabling technologies of the IoT, and to provide Australian research community with a unique platform for large-scale experimentation and ....A large-scale distributed experimental facility for the internet of things. This project aims to establish a large-scale, real-world experimental facility for the Internet of Things (IoT), which is currently missing in Australia, as well as in the rest of the world. The project is expected to be an essential instrument to achieve Australia’s leadership on key enabling technologies of the IoT, and to provide Australian research community with a unique platform for large-scale experimentation and evaluation of IoT technologies and services. The project will also serve as a vehicle for the education and training of Australia’s next generation of scholars and engineers, and contribute to Australia’s scientific visibility.Read moreRead less

The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools for effectively and proactively discovering and recommending things. The result of this project may underpin applications (eg smart cities) that will contribute to Australian society and the national economy.Read moreRead less
Learning human activities through low cost, unobtrusive RFID technology. A rapidly growing aged population presents many challenges to Australia's health and aged care services. The outcomes of this project will help aging Australians live in their own homes longer, with greater independence and safety by providing an automated, unobtrusive means for health professionals to monitor activity and intervene as required.
Managing uncertainty in RFID traceability networks. Australia suffers 5.4 million cases of food-borne illness every year, which leads to 2.1 million days of lost work, 1.2 million people visiting a doctor, and 120 deaths annually. This has revealed the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling problematic products that have been released into the community. The project will develop novel techniques driven by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for improving the effici ....Managing uncertainty in RFID traceability networks.

This has revealed the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling problematic products that have been released into the community. The project will develop novel techniques driven by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for improving the efficiency and accuracy of product tracking in distribution networks. This project will place Australia at the forefront of RFID research. It will also be an excellent vehicle for educating young researchers and engineers in Australia.Read moreRead less
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
Techniques for active conceptual modelling and guided data mining for rapid knowledge discovery. Quick, accurate responses to rapidly evolving phenomena are essential.
