Summary
Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services. Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which i ....Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services. Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which is the main focus of this network. The CIs will collaborate in several ways, ranging from basic research to applications, to enable the creation and maintenance of highly dependable computer systems and networked applications.

Efficient and Effective Interactive Visualization of Large Graphical Information Spaces. The expected outcome will change ways of interacting with and thinking about information processing for all information systems. As Australian companies became larger and more global, the ability to view and analyse the growing amount of company information becomes crucial to aspects as varied as trouble shooting or new ventures and eventually to the very viability of the organization itself. The expected ou ....Efficient and Effective Interactive Visualization of Large Graphical Information Spaces. The expected outcome will change ways of interacting with and thinking about information processing for all information systems. As Australian companies became larger and more global, the ability to view and analyse the growing amount of company information becomes crucial to aspects as varied as trouble shooting or new ventures and eventually to the very viability of the organization itself. The expected outcome will enhance this ability by providing an optimised global view and an effective navigation scheme of large graphical information spaces. This will attract leading international IT companies to use it for developing cutting-age tools, and will enhance significantly the capacity and international standing of Australian IT industry.Read moreRead less

Pervasive Grids with Autonomic Capabilities. A grid computing system that brings together a multitude of heterogonous resources able should be able to function continuously without much intervention by a human operator. This work aims at developing techniques and tools for the monitoring and prediction of the behaviour of the core structure of a grid. In this case, the ?core? structure is a large- or a wide-area network, or a collection of such networks. The monitoring process will feed into the ....Pervasive Grids with Autonomic Capabilities. A grid computing system that brings together a multitude of heterogonous resources able should be able to function continuously without much intervention by a human operator. This work aims at developing techniques and tools for the monitoring and prediction of the behaviour of the core structure of a grid. In this case, the ?core? structure is a large- or a wide-area network, or a collection of such networks. The monitoring process will feed into the other layers in the grid fabric important information (traffic, current and possible future congestions, failures, topological variations, etc) to enable the efficient and consistent operation of the grid. This is an important research problem in grid computing
since traditional assumptions that are more or less valid in conventional high-performance computing settings break down on the Grid.Read moreRead less

Developments in the area of business process management are currently hindered by the plethora of diverse business process execution languages. This project will develop techniques for dealing with interoperability issues induced by this language heterogeneity. The project combines theoretical research, grounded in concurrency theory and workflow patterns, with pragmatic research focusing on languages supported by commercial tools. The outcome will be a framework for comparing the expressiveness of process execution languages and defining mappings between them. This will place Australia at the forefront of developments in business process management systems: a crucial technology in today's global, dynamic, and heterogeneous environments.

Web services are the pillar of the new generation of Internet technologies. They provide standardized access to functionality that would otherwise be hidden inside enterprise information systems. As the existing base of web services expands, there is a need for techniques to select, configure, assemble, and coordinate web services to perform complex user tasks. This project will advance the fundamental understanding and know-how in this area by addressing three complementary research challenges: how to, organize and search semantically rich service descriptions; select services with respect to flexible and personalized criteria; and coordinate services in an adaptive and context-aware manner.Read moreRead less
