Variable Structure Control Systems in Networked Environments. This project will be the first in the world to lay the foundation for a new theory for understanding and designing new variable structure control systems in the networked environments, which is in great need due to increasing use of shared communication networks in modern industrial systems.

This project will be the first in the world to lay the foundation for a new theory for understanding and designing new variable structure control systems in the networked environments, which is in great need due to increasing use of shared communication networks in modern industrial systems. It will firmly place Australia at the forefront of this research by developing a cutting edge technology for improving reliability and efficiency of industrial variable structure control systems in the networked environments, hence resulting in cost-saving and improved productivity for industry. It will provide training for new leading researchers specialised in this new theory and technology.Read moreRead less
Airports of the Future. This project will enhance the capabilities of Australian airport operators to design and manage complex airport systems. Research outcomes will enable the identification of patterns of behaviour and will provide tools to manage airport effectiveness and balance conflicting security, economic and passenger-driven pressures. Outcomes will improve productivity, enhance capabilities for critical infrastructure protection, and lessen the cost of mandated security, estimated t ....Airports of the Future. This project will enhance the capabilities of Australian airport operators to design and manage complex airport systems. Research outcomes will enable the identification of patterns of behaviour and will provide tools to manage airport effectiveness and balance conflicting security, economic and passenger-driven pressures. Outcomes will improve productivity, enhance capabilities for critical infrastructure protection, and lessen the cost of mandated security, estimated to grow to $152M by 2010 for the five major Australian airports. The deliverables of this project will be transferable to other complex socio-technical systems providing the potential to transform a range of Australian critical infrastructure and transportation hubs.Read moreRead less

Summary
ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology. The ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology is a field of research network covering the fundamental science and technological development of applied imaging systems. The network will encompass all aspects of the imaging sciences from image formation, through image processing and analysis, and on to image visualisation. In particular, the network will focus on a number of application areas that utilise these core technologies: medical imaging; ....ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology. The ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology is a field of research network covering the fundamental science and technological development of applied imaging systems. The network will encompass all aspects of the imaging sciences from image formation, through image processing and analysis, and on to image visualisation. In particular, the network will focus on a number of application areas that utilise these core technologies: medical imaging; surveillance and security; materials science and metallurgy; environmental monitoring; and consumer imaging. In this way, the network will provide an environment for creative inter-disciplinary research to the socio-economic benefit of Australia.Read moreRead less
