This project proposes a novel approach for identifying roadside fire risks using pattern recognition and computational intelligence techniques. The video data is collected over every state road in Queensland annually, and has the potential to provide a range of value-added products for safer roads. This project aims to develop new techniques for identification of roadside objects so that the data can be automatically analysed allowing the estimation of fire risk factors. The final outcome intends to be techniques for segmentation and classification of roadside objects and estimation of fire risk factors.Read moreRead less
Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, ....Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, becomes a critical issue in the operation and management of such systems. The proposed framework explores ways to integrate new technology into existing systems, focusing on new methods of energy management with interactions with millions of devices and storage units, and real-time communications to devices.Read moreRead less

This project is expected to facilitate increasing deployment of disruptive energy technologies on a massive scale, create opportunities for energy industries, and maintain Australia’s leading position in renewable energy.Read moreRead less
A Theory of Innovation Systems. The goal of the project is to develop and validate a new theory for how information systems can be designed to assist organisations in becoming innovative. Technological innovation is designed to increase productivity and economic growth, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of ‘innovation systems’ that would describe design pri ....A Theory of Innovation Systems. The goal of the project is to develop and validate a new theory for how information systems can be designed to assist organisations in becoming innovative. Technological innovation is designed to increase productivity and economic growth, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of ‘innovation systems’ that would describe design principles for information systems that provide effective and efficient support to organisational innovation processes. The expected project outcomes would assist the development of new systems to support organisational innovations, the management of innovation initiatives to increase productivity and growth, and the effective assessment of technologies to support innovation.Read moreRead less
A Novel Framework for Optimised Ensemble Classifier. The project aims to develop a novel framework for creating an optimised ensemble classifier that will improve data analysis and the accuracy of many real-world applications such as document analysis, robotics and medical diagnosis.

The project aims to develop a novel framework for creating an optimised ensemble classifier that will improve data analysis and the accuracy of many real-world applications such as document analysis, robotics and medical diagnosis. The project plans to develop and investigate novel methods for generating diverse training environment layers, base classifiers and fusion of classifiers. It also plans to design a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm-based search obtain the optimal number of layers, clusters and base classifiers. The expected outcomes of the proposed framework are advances in classifier learning. The final outcome may be novel methods which will bring in diversity during the learning of the base classifiers and provide an optimal ensemble classifier for real-world applications.Read moreRead less

Searching Activity Trajectories for Intention Oriented Recommendations. The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities.

The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities. It presents an unprecedented opportunity to build highly intelligent recommendation systems. Existing approaches that merely focus on the location aspect of trajectories are limited in their ability to understand genuine preferences from travel histories, due to lack of consideration for activity information as well as the associated semantics and context. This project aims to address these issues and provide effective recommendations by considering both users’ intention and collective behavioural knowledge inferred from activity trajectories.Read moreRead less
