Making the Pilbara blend: agile mine scheduling through contingent planning. Mine scheduling is a challenging problem for Rio Tinto which annually mines more than 200 Million tonnes of iron ore. This project will develop agile scheduling techniques of great economic importance to Australia. Carefully planned scheduling reduces infrastructure and minimises environmental impacts, maximising regeneration after mining.

Optimisation of embedded virtual complex systems by re-using a library of available components. Nowadays, there are benefits in building complex embedded systems, such as a house surveillance agent, by re-using and combining available modules, such as cameras, blinds, phones, lights, etc. Because complete construction may be impossible, this project devises methods for automatically achieving the desired system to the highest-degree possible.
