Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software control. The test bed will empower Australian researchers in network technologies and dependent applications (for example, multimedia and security) to collaboratively develop and demonstrate novel ideas at scale. This is expected to benefit Australia by giving our researchers international recognition in this nascent area, and developing a national talent pool for local industry.Read moreRead less

Generative Visual Pre-training on Unlabelled Big Data. This project aims to develop a generative visual pre-training of large-scale deep neural networks on unlabelled big data. Developing pre-trained visual models that are accurate, robust, and efficient for downstream tasks is a keystone of modern computer vision, but it poses challenges and knowledge gaps to existing unsupervised representation learning. Expected outcomes include new theories and algorithms for unsupervised visual pre-training ....Generative Visual Pre-training on Unlabelled Big Data. This project aims to develop a generative visual pre-training of large-scale deep neural networks on unlabelled big data. Developing pre-trained visual models that are accurate, robust, and efficient for downstream tasks is a keystone of modern computer vision, but it poses challenges and knowledge gaps to existing unsupervised representation learning. Expected outcomes include new theories and algorithms for unsupervised visual pre-training, which are anticipated to deepen our understanding of visual representation and make it easier to build and deploy computer vision applications and services. Examples of benefits include modernising machines in manufacturing and farming with visual intelligence. 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.

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

This project aims to provide methods for the design and verification of correct, secure and efficient concurrent software that are scalable and mechanised. Computers with multiple processors are now the norm and are used in a wide range of safety, security and mission critical software applications such as transport, health and infrastructure. These multi-core architectures have the potential to lead to important efficiency gains, but can introduce complex and error-prone behaviours that cannot be managed using traditional software development approaches. This project will produce better, scalable and mechanised methods for the design and verification of such software which is expected to reduce the prevalence of failures in efficient, modern software.Read moreRead less
