Intelligent Applications Through The Semantic Web. The primary aim of the proposed bid is to build a network of Australian researchers and their international peers for condresearch into the fundamental as well as applied aspects of the Semantic Web. By incorporating meaning of web-content in a form that can be accessed and processed by intelligent software agents, the Semantic Web will allow computers and humans to work in cooperation. This research will address the needs of both the Australian ....Intelligent Applications Through The Semantic Web. The primary aim of the proposed bid is to build a network of Australian researchers and their international peers for condresearch into the fundamental as well as applied aspects of the Semantic Web. By incorporating meaning of web-content in a form that can be accessed and processed by intelligent software agents, the Semantic Web will allow computers and humans to work in cooperation. This research will address the needs of both the Australian government and industry that provide and make smart use of information available on the Web. It will ensure Australian preparedness for the next-generation web technology.Read moreRead less
Efficient Prediction of Application Metrics for E-Services. Application Service Providers (ASPs) are one of the fastest growing classes of e-services and operate on the principle of renting software applications. This project aims to develop prediction techniques to estimate quality of service metrics for ASPs. The efficient prediction of the service levels that can be ensured is challenging given the dynamic nature of the Internet and the semantics of application metrics not being formally defi ....Efficient Prediction of Application Metrics for E-Services. Application Service Providers (ASPs) are one of the fastest growing classes of e-services and operate on the principle of renting software applications. This project aims to develop prediction techniques to estimate quality of service metrics for ASPs. The efficient prediction of the service levels that can be ensured is challenging given the dynamic nature of the Internet and the semantics of application metrics not being formally defined. The project will result in the development of a prototype system to support prediction of service levels. This system will be accessible to the Australian e-services industry via a web interface.Read moreRead less
Agent-Enabled Social Networks. The project aims at creating a new framework for linking individuals and communities of common interests to form scalable online social networks across these communities. The framework specifies the method of discovery, interconnection and management of online social networks using an agent-based and user-centric approach. As a result, individuals and organisations will benefit from the wider and better sharing of information and human resources, and collaborate in ....Agent-Enabled Social Networks.

The framework specifies the method of discovery, interconnection and management of online social networks using an agent-based and user-centric approach. As a result, individuals and organisations will benefit from the wider and better sharing of information and human resources, and collaborate in a more productive and trustful manner.Read moreRead less
Agent-based coordination and negotiation technologies for decentralised service workflow management. This project will enhance the nation's expertise in ICT in general and smart information use in particular. In the real world, process management is a key issue in any workplace organisation which needs to be supported by workflow systems, particularly in this Internet and Web services era. This project will develop an innovative framework and the corresponding technologies for service workflow m ....Agent-based coordination and negotiation technologies for decentralised service workflow management. This project will enhance the nation's expertise in ICT in general and smart information use in particular. In the real world, process management is a key issue in any workplace organisation which needs to be supported by workflow systems, particularly in this Internet and Web services era. This project will develop an innovative framework and the corresponding technologies for service workflow management. The research will assist many organisations to effectively develop and deliver more efficient, reliable, flexible and adaptive business applications. Consequently, this will enhance the ability of many Australian organisations to run more productively and more competitively.Read moreRead less
