An integrative and distributed data management and workflow framework for e-research in biomedical imaging. This project will develop new tools for neuroimaging research: (i) efficient distributed infrastructure and workflow capabilities and (ii) semantic tools using existing ontological frameworks and specific neuroimaging ontologies.
These new capabilities will significantly enhance the productivity of neuroimaging research.
Integrating technological and organisational approaches to enhance the safety of roadworkers. Across Australia about 50 people are killed and 750 are injured in crashes at roadworks each year, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Making roadworks safer is a complicated task, involving multiple organisations as well as the motoring public. This project will develop and evaluate an integrated program including research into new technologies, testing of strategies to improve organisational and ....Integrating technological and organisational approaches to enhance the safety of roadworkers. Across Australia about 50 people are killed and 750 are injured in crashes at roadworks each year, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Making roadworks safer is a complicated task, involving multiple organisations as well as the motoring public. This project will develop and evaluate an integrated program including research into new technologies, testing of strategies to improve organisational and safety culture, and investigation of education approaches. At a time of unprecedented spending on improving Australia's road infrastructure, this research will contribute to ensuring the safety of the workers directly involved in the road improvements necessary to achieve major long-term economic and social benefits.Read moreRead less
Software debuggers for next generation heterogeneous supercomputers. Supercomputing underpins a wide range of areas of importance to the Australian economy; mining, agriculture, engineering and medical research to name a few. It is of critical importance that software solutions in these areas behave correctly. This project will develop software tools and techniques to help locate errors in such applications.
Creating a smart city through internet of things. This project will deliver smart new ways of urban monitoring using ubiquitous sensing and data analysis for city management and sustainability. It will deliver researcher training, global clientele for local technology and a platform for local industry growth.
Fostering digital participation through living labs in regional and rural Australian communities. This project aims to identify the specific digital needs and practices of residents in regional and rural Australia in the context of the implementation of high speed internet, including the National Broadband Network. It will identify new ways for enabling residents to develop their digital confidence and skills at home and in the community.
Practical cyber security for next generation power transmission networks. Emerging technologies and increasing standardisation create new security risks for critical national infrastructure such as power transmission networks. This project will develop a new test facility for experimentation with substation configurations and use it to devise new principles for securing the next generation of electricity infrastructure.
Girls and Information Communication Technology (ICT) Career Pathways: Tackling the Upper Middle School 'Turn Off'. This project aims to develop strategic responses to factors associated with girls forming such negative perceptions of Information Communication Technology during their upper middle school years that they overwhelmingly reject Information Communication Technology as an option for advanced study and future careers. This project will contribute towards Australia's National Research Pr ....Girls and Information Communication Technology (ICT) Career Pathways: Tackling the Upper Middle School 'Turn Off'. This project aims to develop strategic responses to factors associated with girls forming such negative perceptions of Information Communication Technology during their upper middle school years that they overwhelmingly reject Information Communication Technology as an option for advanced study and future careers. This project will contribute towards Australia's National Research Priority 3 of building and transforming frontier technologies to maximize creative, technological capability by collaboratively developing a strategic model for responding to factors identified as 'turning girls off Information Communication Technology'.Read moreRead less
Developing informed and integrated strategies to address low female participation rates in professional Information Communication Technologies careers and pathways. This project proposes collaborative research to address low rates of female participation in Information Communication Technology professional occupations and education pathways - involving academic researchers and personnel from Education Queensland and Queensland based ICT companies . A comprehensive Queensland data set will be gen ....Developing informed and integrated strategies to address low female participation rates in professional Information Communication Technologies careers and pathways. This project proposes collaborative research to address low rates of female participation in Information Communication Technology professional occupations and education pathways - involving academic researchers and personnel from Education Queensland and Queensland based ICT companies . A comprehensive Queensland data set will be generated by surveying and interviewing female Year 11-12 students and ICT professionals, and analysed with industry partner involvement. Results will provide the basis for developing new and coordinated strategic approaches among education systems, ICT industry, and universities to improving school programs and enhancing female participation rates. This is necessary for addressing projected skill shortfalls and maximising talent pools available to industry.

Software mediated process assessment in IT service management: development and evaluation of standards-based tools to facilitate continual improvement. Improvements in information technology (IT) services will benefit the Australian business community as organisations today are almost totally dependent on IT to survive. The implementation of IT service management standards reduces IT downtime as well as improving IT service quality and customer satisfaction. Private and public sector organisatio ....Software mediated process assessment in IT service management: development and evaluation of standards-based tools to facilitate continual improvement. Improvements in information technology (IT) services will benefit the Australian business community as organisations today are almost totally dependent on IT to survive. The implementation of IT service management standards reduces IT downtime as well as improving IT service quality and customer satisfaction. Private and public sector organisations will benefit as the developed tool will enable self-assessment of capability in line with international standards. In addition, the project will validate and transition emerging standards into industry, placing Australia at the forefront of adoption and use. Results will be fed back to the international standards community further enhancing Australia's reputation as a leader in IT standards development.Read moreRead less
Participatory Visualisation & Assessment of Risks: A Crowdsourcing Approach. The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate innovative interaction and visualisation approaches that allow the insurance sector to include social media and crowdsourced data in risk identification and assessment. This data, combined with traditional risk assessment information, offers time-critical insights into emerging hazards and threats. The study aims to deliver methods and tools to crowdsource data from contr ....Participatory Visualisation & Assessment of Risks: A Crowdsourcing Approach. The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate innovative interaction and visualisation approaches that allow the insurance sector to include social media and crowdsourced data in risk identification and assessment. This data, combined with traditional risk assessment information, offers time-critical insights into emerging hazards and threats. The study aims to deliver methods and tools to crowdsource data from contributors through sensing and active sharing, as well as novel interaction and visualisation approaches to aid in the analysis of the resulting data. The project intends to benefit both the insurers and the insured by making non-traditional data sources available for risk assessment and prevention.Read moreRead less
