Carrier-scale defence against distributed denial-of-service attacks. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most persistent and damaging threats to services on the Internet. In recent years, there has been widespread use of DDoS attacks for both financial and political advantage by attackers. The challenge for our Australian industry partner (PowerGuard Pty Ltd) is to continue to scale their DDoS defence platform so that it can be used in much higher bandwidth environments, ....Carrier-scale defence against distributed denial-of-service attacks. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most persistent and damaging threats to services on the Internet. In recent years, there has been widespread use of DDoS attacks for both financial and political advantage by attackers. The challenge for our Australian industry partner (PowerGuard Pty Ltd) is to continue to scale their DDoS defence platform so that it can be used in much higher bandwidth environments, such as carriers’ backbone networks, or large government and commercial networks that have multiple high-speed links to the Internet. The results of this project will provide an Australian company with a leading position in this important and growing market. Read moreRead less

Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less
