High-performance real-time OS framework for low-power applications. Wireless network adapters, as they are being developed by Cisco, will find widespread use in the near future, as they are the basis of all mobile or otherwise disconnected intelligent devices. These devices must process data very rapidly, yet operate with minimal power consumption. We will develop operating system kernels that will support the secure, efficient and protected execution of the core processing firmware, and provide ....High-performance real-time OS framework for low-power applications. Wireless network adapters, as they are being developed by Cisco, will find widespread use in the near future, as they are the basis of all mobile or otherwise disconnected intelligent devices. These devices must process data very rapidly, yet operate with minimal power consumption. We will develop operating system kernels that will support the secure, efficient and protected execution of the core processing firmware, and provide application frameworks for the controlling higher software layers. We will also investigate and design hardware mechanisms that support the software while keeping power consumption minimal.Read moreRead less
Idea Sources for Product Innovation in Australian Frontier Technology: The Case of the Australian IT Industry. The source of new product ideas, and how new ideas are generated, is a research area that is not well understood in the management literature and frontier industries such as information technology. The aim of the proposed study is to identify and compare what idea sources (e.g., competitor sources or customer sources) are most useful for Australian firms to generate breakthrough product ....Idea Sources for Product Innovation in Australian Frontier Technology: The Case of the Australian IT Industry. The source of new product ideas, and how new ideas are generated, is a research area that is not well understood in the management literature and frontier industries such as information technology. The aim of the proposed study is to identify and compare what idea sources (e.g., competitor sources or customer sources) are most useful for Australian firms to generate breakthrough product innovations in frontier industries (in this case the IT industry). It also aims to improve our theoretical understanding of the link between market orientation and innovation sources.Read moreRead less
