Parallel and distributed processing can improve company profit, lower costs of design, production and deployment of new technologies, and create better business environments. To achieve this, new inexpensive parallel and distributed systems are needed. Research and initial developments show that such systems can be built based on enterprise grids. The understanding of enterprise grids, and in particular their operating systems, scheduling algorithms, load balancing, heterogeneity, transparency, applications deployment, is of the most critical importance for their development and taking them by industry and business. The new laboratory funded by this grant will place Australia at the forefront of research into the future generation of grids.Read moreRead less

Information extraction which identifies entities and relations from data is a key technology that lays the foundation for understanding the semantics of data. This project aims to investigate the problem of information extraction by innovatively exploring the informality and temporal evolution of data. It expects to develop novel techniques for reliable, efficient, and scalable information discovery from large-scale low-quality data. Expected outcomes include a set of collective, contextualised, and temporal-aware algorithms for information extraction and integration, built on top of effective indexing and in-parallel processing. This project is anticipated to benefit a considerable number of data-driven intelligence-based applications.Read moreRead less

Searching Activity Trajectories for Intention Oriented Recommendations. The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities.

The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities. It presents an unprecedented opportunity to build highly intelligent recommendation systems. Existing approaches that merely focus on the location aspect of trajectories are limited in their ability to understand genuine preferences from travel histories, due to lack of consideration for activity information as well as the associated semantics and context. This project aims to address these issues and provide effective recommendations by considering both users’ intention and collective behavioural knowledge inferred from activity trajectories.Read moreRead less

The Information and communication technology (ICT) benefit of this project is associated with the novel online algorithms and models aligned with the stream data research, and will be enhanced by our stream compression techniques. The stream data analyser developed in this project will be suitable for more than medical surveillance data; it will also improve the processing of other kinds of massive stream data (for example data from remote sensors, communication networks and other dynamic environments). The project involves a scientifically rich collaboration that will enhance the skills of PhD students and staff and drive the field forward.Read moreRead less
