ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers of Big Data, Big Models, New Insights. In today's world, massive amounts of data in a variety of forms are collected daily from a multitude of sources. Many of the resulting data sets have the potential to make vital contributions to society, business and government, as well as impact on international developments, but are so large or complex that they are difficult to process and analyse using traditional tools.

In today's world, massive amounts of data in a variety of forms are collected daily from a multitude of sources. Many of the resulting data sets have the potential to make vital contributions to society, business and government, as well as impact on international developments, but are so large or complex that they are difficult to process and analyse using traditional tools. The aim of this Centre is to create innovative mathematical and statistical models that can uncover the knowledge concealed within the size and complexity of these big data sets, with a focus on using the models to deliver insight into problems vital to the Centre's Collaborative Domains: Healthy People, Sustainable Environments and Prosperous Societies.Read moreRead less

Summary
New stochastic models for Science, Economics, Social Science and Engineering. Stochastic, or random, phenomena abound in society. This project will combine advancement of the theory of stochastic models at a deep level with application to problems arising in science, economics, social science and engineering, and outreach to educate members of the public about random processes of significance in their lives.
Mechanism design for next generation random access wireless protocols. Australia is well placed to take the lead in replacing carbon-intensive travel by teleconferencing, because of its isolation and geographic dispersion. Because these large distances introduce inevitable delays, it is important that the network itself add as little delay as possible for such real-time services. Our novel and practical resource allocation scheme will enable Australians (including Australian industries and rural ....Mechanism design for next generation random access wireless protocols. Australia is well placed to take the lead in replacing carbon-intensive travel by teleconferencing, because of its isolation and geographic dispersion. Because these large distances introduce inevitable delays, it is important that the network itself add as little delay as possible for such real-time services. Our novel and practical resource allocation scheme will enable Australians (including Australian industries and rural communities) to receive better service at lower cost. This project will put Australia on the international stage as a leading contributor to wireless Internet technology. We will provide training for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in this important area.Read moreRead less
Queueing systems and their application to telecommunication systems and dams. The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of large queueing systems under critical load conditions and solve problems related to large telecommunication systems, information technologies and dams. The project will have significant economic and social benefits. It will lead to the solution of high priority problems of optimal control of water resources, as well as problems in design technology of high spee ....Queueing systems and their application to telecommunication systems and dams. The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of large queueing systems under critical load conditions and solve problems related to large telecommunication systems, information technologies and dams. The project will have significant economic and social benefits. It will lead to the solution of high priority problems of optimal control of water resources, as well as problems in design technology of high speed telecommunication networks. It will suggest new more profitable approaches to known problems such as effective bandwidth problem, analysis and design of computer networks, optimal control of dams, and anticipate not ordinary results and solutions. It will contribute to the mathematical culture in Australia and worldwide. Read moreRead less
