Complex real-time systems are increasingly being built by integrating off-the-shelf components. There are obvious benefits to this approach, but the hidden costs associated with integration are still a major problem. Our proposed approach will enable early detection of integration problems, and thus provide potential for large cost savings. This brings with it clear benefits to industry. One industry that would benefit by such technology is the Australian Navy, which is increasingly being confronted with the challenge of integrating off-the-shelf components in large Naval Combat Systems.

Efficient Computational Methods for Constrained Path Problems. We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such
as risk, reliability or cost and satisfy a number of constraints.

We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such
as risk, reliability or cost and satisfy a number of constraints.
Problems of this type readily arise in the defence, transport and
communication industries. In addition to efficient solution methods
for these problems the project will produce computational tools for
a wide range of related network routing problems.Read moreRead less
