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

Australian Women's Archives Project aims to enhance infrastructure for researchers in the field of women's and gender history by constructing appropriate data bases and a range of other electronic sources of information, and by improving the preservation and accessibility of records and archives relevant to this prominent and growing field. Project outcomes will include support for the production of cutting edge academic historical works and simultaneously, the significant contribution of an essential information resource base for Australian women.
The Australian Women's Archives Project employs innovative technologies and adheres to state-of-the-art international standards for electronic management of historical information. The roles of AWAP's Chief Investigators reflect the use of these new forms of information management: CIs both create and utilise the products of each others' collaborative historical research.

Feasible algorithms for big inference. This project aims to develop algorithms for computationally-intensive statistical tools to analyse Big Data. Big Data is ubiquitous in science, engineering, industry and finance, but needs special machine learning to conduct correct inferential analysis. Computational bottlenecks make many tried-and-true tools of statistical inference inadequate. This project will develop tools including false discovery rate control, heteroscedastic and robust regression an ....Feasible algorithms for big inference. This project aims to develop algorithms for computationally-intensive statistical tools to analyse Big Data. Big Data is ubiquitous in science, engineering, industry and finance, but needs special machine learning to conduct correct inferential analysis. Computational bottlenecks make many tried-and-true tools of statistical inference inadequate. This project will develop tools including false discovery rate control, heteroscedastic and robust regression and mixture models, via Big Data-appropriate optimisation and composite-likelihood estimation. It will make open, well-documented, and accessible software available for the scalable and distributable analysis of Big Data. The expected outcome is a suite of scalable algorithms to analyse Big Data.Read moreRead less

The computer science CIs will form collaborative links with international programs, adapting developments to local circumstances. The applications-domain CIs will leverage those into their scientific simulations and databases, using grid integrative techniques and portals. Many CIs participate in other RNs linking to their motivating applications, enhancing prospects for research and integration. They participate in the APAC Grid program, leveraging 75 HPC staff nationally. A key aim is interoperability with "real-world Grids": eg e-learning & e-health programs.Read moreRead less

Summary
The Australian Virtual Observatory. The Australian Virtual Observatory, which is part of the International Virtual Observatory is an ambitious program to consolidate all astronomical data online, in a form which will be accessible to both professional astronomers and also to the wider public. The project will link data, computational resources, high level software and people in an advanced network, which will maximise investment in one of Australia's highest profile scientific programs.
Tracing real Internet attackers through information correlation. If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward on tracing Internet attackers in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crime and terrorism. It will also greatly reduce the damage caused by Internet crime and terrorism.

If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward on tracing Internet attackers in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crime and terrorism. It will also greatly reduce the damage caused by Internet crime and terrorism. The prototype of the distributed information correlation tracing system can possibly be patented or even be commercialised. The capability of a nation to trace the real source of any attacks on its information infrastructure is central to the control of such attacks and hence to a nation's long-term survival and prosperity.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop an innovative approach to create and update as necessary the large collection of business process models that represent a complex organisation, so that this collection captures the actual way in which the organisation performs its business processes. Deploying theoretical, conceptual and empirical research, this project aims to capitalise on the value hidden in large process data, as recorded in event logs. The approach is intended to be implemented in an open-source technology to facilitate advanced investigations and predictions that can ultimately lead to better strategic decision-making. This technology also has the potential to become a research-enabling tool for the large research community in business process management.Read moreRead less
