Summary
History, the archives and new technologies: developing the Australian women's archives project. This project will create and define generic tools and services to increase the productivity of those involved with the creation, maintenance and use of source material for humanities research. It will provide a pathway to move this infrastructure onto a more sustainable footing and address issues of information overload, authority and quality facing researchers in the networked digital age.

This project will create and define generic tools and services to increase the productivity of those involved with the creation, maintenance and use of source material for humanities research. It will provide a pathway to move this infrastructure onto a more sustainable footing and address issues of information overload, authority and quality facing researchers in the networked digital age. This imperative is seen by scholars and representatives of the nation's major collecting institutions as a primary limiting factor in the contemporary research environment. The project will enhance Australia's reputation as a world leader in the development of web-based information infrastructure to support research and scholarship.Read moreRead less
From Universal Induction to Intelligent Systems. The dream of creating artificial devices that (out)reach human intelligence is an old one. What makes this challenge so interesting? A solution would have enormous implications for our society, and there are arguments that the AI problem might be solved within a couple of decades. Specialized intelligent systems are actually already pervasive (finger print, handwriting, speech, and face recognition; spam filtering; search engines; computer chess; ....From Universal Induction to Intelligent Systems. The dream of creating artificial devices that (out)reach human intelligence is an old one. What makes this challenge so interesting? A solution would have enormous implications for our society, and there are arguments that the AI problem might be solved within a couple of decades. Specialized intelligent systems are actually already pervasive (finger print, handwriting, speech, and face recognition; spam filtering; search engines; computer chess; robots). This decade the first presumably complete mathematical theory of AI has been proposed. By working out this theory, this project will significantly contribute to the foundations of inductive inference and AI, and ultimately lead to smarter software and intelligent systems.Read moreRead less
Model-Based Approach to Adaptive Channel Coding and Estimation for Future Wireless Communication Systems. The project aims to maximise capacity, data rate and user mobility in wireless communication systems and will advance Australia's fundamental knowledge base in this field so that it stays at the forefront of international research in mobile communications. The application of research outcomes by the Australian telecommunications industry will improve the extent and quality of mobile networks ....Model-Based Approach to Adaptive Channel Coding and Estimation for Future Wireless Communication Systems. The project aims to maximise capacity, data rate and user mobility in wireless communication systems and will advance Australia's fundamental knowledge base in this field so that it stays at the forefront of international research in mobile communications. The application of research outcomes by the Australian telecommunications industry will improve the extent and quality of mobile networks, increasing network capacity and the number of mobile phone subscribers in Australia. This project will also optimise the use of mobile network resources (such as bandwidth and power) in next generation mobile networks, which in turn will result in faster and more reliable services such as wireless Internet access for business and private use.Read moreRead less
Optimum cross-layer design in wireless communication systems with channel uncertainty. For wireless communications to be part of Australia's information delivery infrastructure, including the National Broadband Network, requires improvements in reliability, speed and cost effectiveness over current technologies. The assembled world class research team has the objective to develop advanced design techniques to meet this challenge.

Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.
Governance of information technology programmes: achieving accountability, control and success. This project aims to improve the effectiveness with which IT-enabled programmes are managed by public and private organisations. The theoretical knowledge and guides for good practice emerging from this study will contribute to increased success in managing and delivering complex and vital programmes across Australia.
Modelling, Identification and Control of Complex Networks. Australia has been well known for its leading research in systems and control and many real-world applications in, for instance, telecommunications, defence, power grids and life sciences. This project will further promote Australia's leading position in the emerging new research field - complex networks by theoretical breakthrough in modelling, identification and control of complex networks, and cutting-edge platform technology that can ....Modelling, Identification and Control of Complex Networks. Australia has been well known for its leading research in systems and control and many real-world applications in, for instance, telecommunications, defence, power grids and life sciences. This project will further promote Australia's leading position in the emerging new research field - complex networks by theoretical breakthrough in modelling, identification and control of complex networks, and cutting-edge platform technology that can help Australian energy industry to reduce greenhouse emissions. It will also result in education of the next generation research leaders in this emerging field.Read moreRead less
Information systems theory for location-based educational services in informal learning environments. Creating technology enhanced learning experiences will be critical to the way we educate and engage with future generations. This project will seek to develop a stronger theoretical basis for understanding how location-based technologies can enhance learning outcomes of school students visiting three of Australia's leading cultural institutions.
Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning. Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of domains of Mathematics and adjacent domains of science (e.g. Computer Science), dealing with functions of infinitely growing number of parameters. Here, we focus on several questions naturally linked to Asymptotic Geometric Analysis which have natural applications to Statistical Learning Theory. We intend to use geometric, probabilistic and combinatorial methods to investigate these problems, ....Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning. Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of domains of Mathematics and adjacent domains of science (e.g. Computer Science), dealing with functions of infinitely growing number of parameters. Here, we focus on several questions naturally linked to Asymptotic Geometric Analysis which have natural applications to Statistical Learning Theory. We intend to use geometric, probabilistic and combinatorial methods to investigate these problems, with an emphasis on modern tools in Empirical Processes Theory and the theory of Random Matrices.Read moreRead less
