Multivariate Algorithmics: Meeting the Challenge of Real World computational complexity. This Project will result in better methods for designing the algorithms that all computer applications depend on. Algorithms are the instruction sets that tell computers how to process information. Some information processing tasks are intrinsically difficult, even for computers working at enormous speeds. This Project will deliver new mathematical approaches to overcome these difficulties. More efficient al ....Multivariate Algorithmics: Meeting the Challenge of Real World computational complexity. This Project will result in better methods for designing the algorithms that all computer applications depend on. Algorithms are the instruction sets that tell computers how to process information. Some information processing tasks are intrinsically difficult, even for computers working at enormous speeds. This Project will deliver new mathematical approaches to overcome these difficulties. More efficient algorithmic approaches for difficult problems enable advances in all areas of computer applications such as medical diagnosis and health prediction, national security, communications efficiency, industrial productivity and all fields of science and engineering.Read moreRead less

Implementing Feferman-Landin Logic. The objective of this project is to utilise computer based verification tools (such as PVS and Rewritting Logic) to develop a software engineering environment for specifying and verifying systems written in high-level programming languages such as Java, Scheme, and ML. The project will thus subtantially advance the use of formal computer based tools to develop reliable programs and specifications for life-critical systems. The project will also develop form ....Implementing Feferman-Landin Logic.

The project will thus subtantially advance the use of formal computer based tools to develop reliable programs and specifications for life-critical systems. The project will also develop formally
based interoperability between the PVS and Maude systems, two widely
used computer tools for reasoning about complex systems.Read moreRead less
Nanotribology of coating on silicon using multiscale atomic-continuum modelling. Nanotribology plays a vital role in the development of nanomaterials, nanotechnology and information technology. The current project aims to predict the mechanisms involved in the nanotribology of diamond coating on silicon. In addition, the project will integrate the tribological mechanisms involved on the atomic scale with mechanisms on the continuum scale using an innovative model combining molecular dynamics, ....Nanotribology of coating on silicon using multiscale atomic-continuum modelling. Nanotribology plays a vital role in the development of nanomaterials, nanotechnology and information technology. The current project aims to predict the mechanisms involved in the nanotribology of diamond coating on silicon. In addition, the project will integrate the tribological mechanisms involved on the atomic scale with mechanisms on the continuum scale using an innovative model combining molecular dynamics, discrete elements method and finite elements analysis. This will provide a holistic understanding of tribology.Read moreRead less
