Architecture-based Open Network Management Systems for Next Generation Telecommunications. We aim to develop an open, policy-based architecture for the management of next generation telecommunications networks. It is expected that a comprehensive Open Architecture-based Telecommunications Management Network (AuTuMN) framework could be put in place to manage the network based on centralised policies and roles rather than having to handle individual users and elements.

Mobile Device Autoconfiguration. Todays cellular networks are built to optimise spectrum efficiency by combining specific codecs and matching bearer services. With general purpose mobile terminals that can access different network types the applications will break this optimisation by using generic codecs. This project aims at solving this problem by letting the access networks configure the terminals with the natively supported codecs and bearer service definitions. The project will lead to con ....Mobile Device Autoconfiguration. Todays cellular networks are built to optimise spectrum efficiency by combining specific codecs and matching bearer services. With general purpose mobile terminals that can access different network types the applications will break this optimisation by using generic codecs. This project aims at solving this problem by letting the access networks configure the terminals with the natively supported codecs and bearer service definitions. The project will lead to considerably higher cost effectiveness in the emerging mobile Internet.Read moreRead less
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. The prototype of the distributed information correlation tracing system can possibly be patented or even ....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. 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
Multimedia content distribution over multihop broadband wireless networks. Multihop Wireless Networks are an ideal medium for Australia where low rural densities require both low set-up costs and environmentally robust infrastructure. Fundamental improvements to multihop wireless protocols will transform their current limited deployment, making them available to more Australians. This project will place Australia in the forefront of wireless network research and can strengthen the competitiv ....Multimedia content distribution over multihop broadband wireless networks.

Distributed Data Processing for Wireless Sensor Networks. This project falls within the national research priorities of Frontier Technologies for building and transforming Australian Industries, and will provide Australian companies with state-of-the-art technology in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Australia's priorities are mainly in sustainable environment, health maintenance, and home-land security. Any application in these priority areas that uses our system will have less maintenance costs ....Distributed Data Processing for Wireless Sensor Networks. This project falls within the national research priorities of Frontier Technologies for building and transforming Australian Industries, and will provide Australian companies with state-of-the-art technology in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Australia's priorities are mainly in sustainable environment, health maintenance, and home-land security. Any application in these priority areas that uses our system will have less maintenance costs and a significantly longer lifetime.
This project will generate numerous articles in first-class journals and conferences and will contribute to the strength of Australian Research in sensor technologies and ICT. Read moreRead less

Summary
Personal safety in the city: design solutions for after dark. The research will provide insights into the potential for mobile technology to be designed to enhance personal safety in urban environments at night. It will do so by identifying individual personal harm reduction and safety strategies, and examining the opportunities to use technology to amplify these strategies.
Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas w ....Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas within Australia, in which the identification of new technologies capability is not well characterised. With a reduction in conventional heavy industry in the region, it is believed that a better understanding of new technologies capability for application to the southern region will promote essential economic growth.Read moreRead less
Engaging Augmented Reality on 3D Head Up Displays to Reduce Risky Driving. This project aims to reduce risky driving behaviours through novel augmented reality applications for three-dimensional head-up displays, making safe driving more engaging so that drivers will take less risk. Over 1 million people are killed and 50 million are seriously injured on roads each year worldwide. Risky driving behaviours (speeding and distracted driving) are major causes. This project intends to produce novel i ....Engaging Augmented Reality on 3D Head Up Displays to Reduce Risky Driving. This project aims to reduce risky driving behaviours through novel augmented reality applications for three-dimensional head-up displays, making safe driving more engaging so that drivers will take less risk. Over 1 million people are killed and 50 million are seriously injured on roads each year worldwide. Risky driving behaviours (speeding and distracted driving) are major causes. This project intends to produce novel in-car interaction design implementations, provide important visual design guidelines for future display technologies, and provide novel road safety interventions.Read moreRead less

Risky Gadgets to the Rescue: Designing Personal Ubicomp Devices to Foster Safer Driving Behaviours in Young Males. Young males are over-represented in road crashes. Part of the problem is their proneness to boredom, a hardwired personality factor that can lead to risky driving or distractions.

Young males are over-represented in road crashes. Part of the problem is their proneness to boredom, a hardwired personality factor that can lead to risky driving or distractions. This project aims to design innovative ubiquitous computing technologies that make safe driving more stimulating and pleasurable. This research will inform the future design of personal ubiquitous devices that pose a threat to road safety, by replacing the stimuli from risky driving with safer stimuli and simulating risk to increase risk perception when it is actually not present. This project aims to reduce risky driving behaviours, and, in the process, advance our knowledge about the role of boredom in the road safety context.Read moreRead less
