Australian humanities researchers, many of them world leaders, are increasingly adopting digital technologies to create scholarly resources in a range of disciplines. It is imperative to provide scale and focus for such diverse, innovative research. This initiative will conduct a stocktake of the infrastructure needs of researchers engaged in digital resource creation projects, and develop a roadmap for construction and implementation of a Network to address these needs. The Australian e-Humanities Research Network will take up the challenges and opportunities of digital technologies by addressing humanities researchers? requirements for training, networking, and best-practice information and advice.Read moreRead less

Summary
Frontier technologies, prototypes and strategic positioning for the international radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array. This Network will forge new linkages between scientists and engineers to design and enable an advanced prototype for the international next-generation radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The prototype will make fundamental new tests of general relativity and the physics of dark energy and test SKA imaging and signal processing systems. The Network partners ....Frontier technologies, prototypes and strategic positioning for the international radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array. This Network will forge new linkages between scientists and engineers to design and enable an advanced prototype for the international next-generation radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The prototype will make fundamental new tests of general relativity and the physics of dark energy and test SKA imaging and signal processing systems. The Network partners will collaborate to develop low-cost technologies for ultra-wideband antennas, high-speed signal processing, software radios, mitigation of man-made interference and the handling of petabyte data sets. The aim is a leading role for Australian researchers and industry in the $2 billion SKA.Read moreRead less
Convex optimisation for control, signal processing and communication systems. Renewable control of complex systems, signal processing, telecommunication and in general any industries interested in these applications stand to benefit from our research. In particular, the automotive and defence industries stand to benefit from the nonlinear control design aspect of the proposed project outcomes. The

Renewable control of complex systems, signal processing, telecommunication and in general any industries interested in these applications stand to benefit from our research. In particular, the automotive and defence industries stand to benefit from the nonlinear control design aspect of the proposed project outcomes. The
telecommunications industries, on the other hand, benefit from the signal processing and communications aspects. We also build a core expertise in optimisation and its applications in Australia by training PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers. The research collaborations will cement and maintain the international linkages which will improve applied research in AustraliaRead moreRead less
Adaptive Multi-user Detectors for Mobile Space-Time Communications Systems over Time Variable Fading Channels. High capacity wire-line internet access (~ 1 Mbit/s) is available through existing telephone lines or through the cable TV infrastructure. The need to have the same quality wireless and mobile internet access is becoming evident. The full deployment of the mobile internet might be delayed due to the low capacity of existing cellular mobile communications systems. This research project w ....Adaptive Multi-user Detectors for Mobile Space-Time Communications Systems over Time Variable Fading Channels. High capacity wire-line internet access (~ 1 Mbit/s) is available through existing telephone lines or through the cable TV infrastructure. The need to have the same quality wireless and mobile internet access is becoming evident. The full deployment of the mobile internet might be delayed due to the low capacity of existing cellular mobile communications systems. This research project will contribute to the understanding of fundamental capacity limitations of the mobile communications concept over communication channels that vary with time. The outcomes of the project will suggest possible solutions to the capacity limitations.Read moreRead less
Adaptive Transmitters in Wireless Communication Networks. The mobile Internet requires at least an order of magnitude

then from the mobile user. This high level of capacity asymmetry is a
challenge for current cellular mobile systems being designed for duplex telephony with equal capacity from
and to the mobile user. In this project an adaptive transmitter-receiver
algorithm is proposed. The algorithm will provide a significant capacity increase of the future mobile Internet and wireless local area networks (LANs). The project addresses optimum protocols for the mobile channel resource allocation in conjunction to the optimum transmitter-receiver design.Read moreRead less
Reliable Truly Deep Sub-micron VLSI Computational Systems. The phenomenal growth of the digital integrated circuits is founded on the fundamental assumption of reliable operation of logic gates on silicon chip. In the Deep Sub-Micron domain this fundamental assumption can no longer be guaranteed.

The phenomenal growth of the digital integrated circuits is founded on the fundamental assumption of reliable operation of logic gates on silicon chip. In the Deep Sub-Micron domain this fundamental assumption can no longer be guaranteed. This project, in association with with Dongshin University, Korea with strong links to the semiconductor industry, will develop design techniques for the reliable computational hardware, in the presence of unreliable circuit fabric. This significant research, with potential for generation of IP, will raise the profile of Australian research in integrated circuits design in the global community and will result in significant publicity for the research team and, through them, for Australian industry.Read moreRead less
