The project provides a valuable opportunity to make significant impact on water resource management and create community partnerships that will go well beyond the lifetime of the project. The project is expected to contribute to improved water quality and healthier ecosystems. In turn, the scientifically rich research environment will benefit all involved. It will demonstrate the capability of the Australian researchers in addressing complex problems in data integration and quality. In particular there will be far reaching benefits of research training for associated PhD students and staff.Read moreRead less
ARC Research Network in Enterprise Information Infrastructure. EII targets consolidated research towards the comprehensive development & establishment of advanced information infrastructures.

EII targets consolidated research towards the comprehensive development & establishment of advanced information infrastructures. Its prime purpose is to provide a forum for intellectual exchange by diverse yet complementary research groups, to address the fundamental research problems faced by scientific & business communities when dealing with deployment of information technology to globally distributed, and data intensive environments. EII will address 3 tightly coupled research themes: Ability to interoperate across existing heterogenous platforms & applications; Efficient processing of very large data sets; Technology adoption & impact. Generic results will be applicable to e-science and large business information systems installations.Read moreRead less
Reconciling Activity-centric and Business Object-centric Approaches to Business Process Modelling. Business process models are a fundamental instrument for analysing and automating the operations of organisations. At present, the space of business process modelling techniques is characterised by fragmentation with various approaches striking different tradeoffs. Two major families of approaches can be distinguished: activity-centric and business object-centric. These approaches correspond to com ....Reconciling Activity-centric and Business Object-centric Approaches to Business Process Modelling. Business process models are a fundamental instrument for analysing and automating the operations of organisations. At present, the space of business process modelling techniques is characterised by fragmentation with various approaches striking different tradeoffs. Two major families of approaches can be distinguished: activity-centric and business object-centric. These approaches correspond to complementary viewpoints. We see great potential in creating a level of integration between them. Accordingly, the project will investigate the relative expressiveness of these approaches, identify incompatibilities and synergies, and design model transformations. This will establish a foundation for next-generation business process modelling tools.Read moreRead less
