Legacy2Service: A Novel, Model-Driven Technique for Re-engineering On-Demand, Software Services out of Legacy Applications. The proliferation of software-as-a-service applications from "dotcom" players is raising expectations that other industries will make their critical desktop and mainframe software available as web-enabled software-as-a-service and mobile "apps". However, manually re-engineering legacy software is notoriously costly and frequently unsuccessful.

The proliferation of software-as-a-service applications from "dotcom" players is raising expectations that other industries will make their critical desktop and mainframe software available as web-enabled software-as-a-service and mobile "apps". However, manually re-engineering legacy software is notoriously costly and frequently unsuccessful. This project will make it easier and quicker to turn stand-alone programs into online services by automating much of the process. Specifically, it will develop tools: for analysing program code to identify points to implement service interfaces; for displaying existing and new code dependencies visually; and, to help design and implement new software layers that link legacy services to the web.Read moreRead less

Defining the Impact of Regionalism on Aboriginal Housing and Settlements. This project aims to analyse, quantify and improve our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing needs. It will develop an innovative regional approach to needs assessment and housing procurement that considers cultural protocols, access to services, sustainable design and regional governance. By integrating qualitative and quantitative data, and comparing case studies from remote, rural and urban regi ....Defining the Impact of Regionalism on Aboriginal Housing and Settlements. This project aims to analyse, quantify and improve our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing needs. It will develop an innovative regional approach to needs assessment and housing procurement that considers cultural protocols, access to services, sustainable design and regional governance. By integrating qualitative and quantitative data, and comparing case studies from remote, rural and urban regions, this project will identify the most significant factors in different contexts and tailor solutions to optimise Indigenous housing outcomes. Expected outcomes include improved housing management, housing design, health and well-being of Indigenous communities and a reduction in crowding and homelessness.Read moreRead less
Embedding Enterprise Systems in IoT Fog Networks through Microservices. The project will enable automated re-engineering of enterprise systems, to allow them to reused in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. It will support efficient ways in which the core business logic of these large scale and monolithic systems can be extended into resource control and data sensing functions managed through the IoT. The project will develop a novel, fine-grained software architecture style suitable for loca ....Embedding Enterprise Systems in IoT Fog Networks through Microservices. The project will enable automated re-engineering of enterprise systems, to allow them to reused in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. It will support efficient ways in which the core business logic of these large scale and monolithic systems can be extended into resource control and data sensing functions managed through the IoT. The project will develop a novel, fine-grained software architecture style suitable for localised IoT execution, through microservices executing autonomously on nodes of IoT fog networks. It will develop new techniques for automated discovery of microservices from enterprise systems and the verification of future-state system execution based on current-state behavioural and other properties such as security.Read moreRead less
An integrated and real-time passenger travel and public transport service information system. This project will help the Department of Transport provide improved services to the public through a better understanding of journey planning demands in comparison to public transport services. By integrating research through design methods with technological solutions, the project will deliver better quality of service and higher customer satisfaction.
Re-engineering enterprise systems for microservices in the cloud. This project will enable automatic re-engineering of large enterprise applications to run in modern cloud environments as microservices. Microservices are the latest wave of service-based software, capable of exploiting the high performance and third-party integration opportunities made available through the cloud. The project will develop new techniques for analysing enterprise systems code and execution data, and making recommen ....Re-engineering enterprise systems for microservices in the cloud. This project will enable automatic re-engineering of large enterprise applications to run in modern cloud environments as microservices. Microservices are the latest wave of service-based software, capable of exploiting the high performance and third-party integration opportunities made available through the cloud. The project will develop new techniques for analysing enterprise systems code and execution data, and making recommendations for restructuring suitable parts as microservices. These microservices manage individual business objects via sets of lightweight distributed computational operations. The outcomes will support progressive evolution of an enterprise system, into distributed microservices running in public clouds, while still being integrated with "backend" systems.Read moreRead less

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
A personalised social network based location search and recommender system. Inspired by the advance and popularity of social networks, this project will investigate new personalised recommendation techniques in social networks. Mobile services will be developed for users to search and obtain recommendations as they wish based on their social relationships and behaviour in the social group.
Long-term Cloud Service Composition. This project proposes an economic model-based framework for the selection and composition of cloud services, thus creating an efficient market for cloud consumers and providers. The project will use economic models that incorporate a range of quality of service (QoS) parameters as a key driver for optimising the selection of cloud services and the acceptance of consumer requests. The main outcomes of this project aim to increase efficiencies in the cloud mark ....Long-term Cloud Service Composition.
