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
Software-defined provisioning of Internet of Things applications in fog computing systems. This project aims to investigate and provide solutions for the realisation of a seemingly integrated Fog Computing (FC) paradigm with cloud environments, networking devices and Internet of Things devices. Fog Computing (FC) is an emerging paradigm with great promises for advancing Information and Communications Technologies. Using interdisciplinary approaches, the project expects to generate new knowledge ....Software-defined provisioning of Internet of Things applications in fog computing systems. This project aims to investigate and provide solutions for the realisation of a seemingly integrated Fog Computing (FC) paradigm with cloud environments, networking devices and Internet of Things devices. Fog Computing (FC) is an emerging paradigm with great promises for advancing Information and Communications Technologies. Using interdisciplinary approaches, the project expects to generate new knowledge for optimising both hardware and software resources of a FC system. Outcomes of this project include practical solutions through building novel mathematical frameworks and optimisation objectives. The project is expected to provide efficient monitoring and control of intelligent spaces, management of urban and rural environments and will have applications in the areas of energy, security, transport and public health.Read moreRead less

Predictive analytics from at home telemonitoring of vital signs. This project aims to reduce unscheduled admissions to hospital, by developing statistical models of people’s health using longitudinal measurements of vital signs and questionnaires. Hospital costs are becoming unsustainable and will overwhelm state budgets within thirty years. Telehealth monitoring to manage chronic disease is becoming increasingly routine internationally and should reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and health service costs. To scale up telehealth services nationally, automated means of assessing changes in an individual health status are needed. This project’s automated risk assessment models are expected to identify exacerbations and orchestrate an optimal response from health services to reduce unscheduled admissions to hospital.Read moreRead less
Frontiers in inference about risk. The project aims to develop new methods for robust risk evaluation and minimisation under various constraints and scenarios. Risk evaluation, estimation and prediction using past data is a central activity in diverse areas such as finance, insurance, superannuation and environmental regulation. The project aims to propose and solve innovatively robust risk optimisation problems under constraints, taking into account the time dynamics. Applications include risk ....Frontiers in inference about risk. The project aims to develop new methods for robust risk evaluation and minimisation under various constraints and scenarios. Risk evaluation, estimation and prediction using past data is a central activity in diverse areas such as finance, insurance, superannuation and environmental regulation. The project aims to propose and solve innovatively robust risk optimisation problems under constraints, taking into account the time dynamics. Applications include risk management around natural catastrophes and long-term asset investment of pension funds. The solutions and outcomes are expected to deliver optimal resource allocation proposals and better management of risk exposure in practice.Read moreRead less
