Driving Large Scale Live Internet Broadcasting of Streaming Video. Recent experience of Internet service providers has seen a booming market demand for live Internet broadcasting services. Live broadcasting of high-profile events, such as the Live Earth concerts in July 2007 by MSN, has drawn a global audience of the order of millions of viewers across the Internet. The technology developed in this project will drastically reduce Internet bandwidth consumption for provisioning such large-scale I ....Driving Large Scale Live Internet Broadcasting of Streaming Video. Recent experience of Internet service providers has seen a booming market demand for live Internet broadcasting services. Live broadcasting of high-profile events, such as the Live Earth concerts in July 2007 by MSN, has drawn a global audience of the order of millions of viewers across the Internet. The technology developed in this project will drastically reduce Internet bandwidth consumption for provisioning such large-scale Internet broadcasting services while meeting user satisfaction with guaranteed Quality of Service. It is crucial for Australia to invest in this frontier technology since Australian service providers rely on expensive Internet infrastructure to communicate with major data hubs in other continents.Read moreRead less

Summary
Foundational National Nanotechnology Infrastructure. Breakthough nanotechnologies based on quantum mechanics promise useful devices for absolutely secure transmission of information encoded in quantum states, ultra-rapid searching through genome databases for unique gene sequences, faster electronic and photonic devices, robust devices made from diamond and better processing of biomedical materials for diagnosis of illness. Fabrication and characterization of these devices provides training for ....Foundational National Nanotechnology Infrastructure. Breakthough nanotechnologies based on quantum mechanics promise useful devices for absolutely secure transmission of information encoded in quantum states, ultra-rapid searching through genome databases for unique gene sequences, faster electronic and photonic devices, robust devices made from diamond and better processing of biomedical materials for diagnosis of illness. Fabrication and characterization of these devices provides training for research students in state-of-the-art techniques with many uses. Deeper understanding of these quantum technologies will lead to better models for some of the most puzzling aspects of quantum mechanical systems that are the foundation of the physical processes of
our universe.Read moreRead less

Summary
Scientific Instruments as ICT Components in Building a GrEMLIN for e-Research. The proposal seeks to initiate the development of a GrEMLIN, a Grid Enabled Multi-Level Instrument Network, for e-Research. Scientific instruments, whether at conventional laboratories or at major facilities, may be regarded as specialised ICT components in a network providing remote access to such instrumentation. Collaborative remote access and data analysis brings efficiency and effectiveness dividends, that can ....Scientific Instruments as ICT Components in Building a GrEMLIN for e-Research. The proposal seeks to initiate the development of a GrEMLIN, a Grid Enabled Multi-Level Instrument Network, for e-Research. Scientific instruments, whether at conventional laboratories or at major facilities, may be regarded as specialised ICT components in a network providing remote access to such instrumentation. Collaborative remote access and data analysis brings efficiency and effectiveness dividends, that can be enhanced through the harnessing of Grid technologies. The collaborative project will leverage middleware, Web Services and e-Science software developments in the US and UK, to provide Grid enabled remote instrument access and data analysis as a powerful e-Research tool.Read moreRead less
