Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. ....Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. The expected outcome will be trusted, accurate and reliable software clocks that support applications like cloud computing, billing systems and secure communications, which could become the timekeeping system for the Internet and the Internet of Things.Read moreRead less

Summary
Internet of things testbed for creating a Smart City. The Internet of Things Testbed facility replicates the conditions of a city-wide distribution of sensors and data collection applications to model in real time the functioning urban sensing elements of a smart city, translating vast amounts of sensor data into meaningful information and ultimately action.
DC optimisation based synthesis of systems in control, signal processing and wireless communication network. The conceptual advances with new optimisation based solvers to be developed in the area of control, signal processing and wireless communication. Major benefits of this project will be its direct applications to renewable technologies in automobile, health care, digital and communication network industries.
Distributed signal processing and control in sensor networks. Distributed sensor networks find wide applications in smart electricity grids, traffic systems, industrial plants and security systems. Massive amounts of data need be collected, transmitted and processed. This project aims to develop advanced techniques for the monitoring, diagnosis and control for these networks.
Electronically controlled phased array antenna for universal Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. RFID may potentially replace barcodes allowing automated identification of individual items at multiple points in supply and distribution chains. A smart antenna engineered RFID reader improves efficacy in a host of applications such as logistics and security surveillance and tremendously benefits Australian economy as a key player in the field.
