Evidence-based frameworks for security protocol verification. Security protocols are an essential part of secure communication networks. This project aims to develop verification techniques for security protocols that produce independently verifiable formal certificates of correctness. The project's outcome will contribute to the certification processes for secure network systems at the highest level of assurance.
Practical and theoretical aspects of structure enumeration. Many areas of study involve processing of large numbers of
objects in some class. These are countless examples in
chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other disciplines.
Structure Enumeration is the study of methods for efficient
generation and analysis of such objects. The project will
involve exploitation and extension of recent advances, many
due to the CI, which have added orders of magnitude to what
was possible only a few ....Practical and theoretical aspects of structure enumeration. Many areas of study involve processing of large numbers of

Structure Enumeration is the study of methods for efficient
generation and analysis of such objects. The project will
involve exploitation and extension of recent advances, many
due to the CI, which have added orders of magnitude to what
was possible only a few years ago. The outcome will be a
combination of theoretical results and practical achievements,
whose usefulness will be demonstrated with some serious
applications in physics and mathematics.

Structure enumeration, applications and analysis. Structure enumeration and analysis is at the heart of finite mathematics and its many fields of application in diverse scientific disciplines. Australia has a substantial status in this field both in mathematics and physics. This project will enhance that status and develop greater ties with the centres of structure research in other parts of the world.
Practical Automated Deduction. This project will develop, implement and validate improved methods for automated deduction in decidable fragments of first order logic, also incorporating reasoning in special theories such as arithmetic. It will significantly extend previous work on the model evolution calculus and dynamic semantic resolution, and introduce new techniques that combine these reasoning methods. This work has direct application to reasoning about business rules and about industrial o ....Practical Automated Deduction. This project will develop, implement and validate improved methods for automated deduction in decidable fragments of first order logic, also incorporating reasoning in special theories such as arithmetic. It will significantly extend previous work on the model evolution calculus and dynamic semantic resolution, and introduce new techniques that combine these reasoning methods. This work has direct application to reasoning about business rules and about industrial optimisation problems, and it will motivate and test our systems by means of case studies from both of these areas.Read moreRead less
Modelling interactions of spray droplets with plants. This project addresses the National Research Priority of an environmentally sustainable Australia by developing sophisticated mathematical models and interactive software that will identify environmentally friendlier technologies to efficiently deliver agrichemicals while minimising large scale water usage. National benefits will accrue from the provision for postdoctoral, PhD and IT staff training, while direct links with industry will provi ....Modelling interactions of spray droplets with plants. This project addresses the National Research Priority of an environmentally sustainable Australia by developing sophisticated mathematical models and interactive software that will identify environmentally friendlier technologies to efficiently deliver agrichemicals while minimising large scale water usage. National benefits will accrue from the provision for postdoctoral, PhD and IT staff training, while direct links with industry will provide technology transfer to end-users to ensure community uptake. The project will benefit rural and regional communities by providing long-term solutions in the areas of water use and quality, pesticide pollution reduction, and improved environment and human health care.Read moreRead less
