With the high-speed and large volume of data generation, the data mining research community is facing an unprecedented challenge to provide instant data mining outcomes for prompt usage. Getting access to derived information from multiple, dynamically changing data is vital for many business, science and security services. Extended networks of sensors and other devices assist many environments with data collection that should be correlated and processed towards discovery of dependencies, regularities and patterns. Data mining tools, especially of this new generation, are capable of dealing with data streams, and they offer great benefits for users from many industry sectors; defence, health management, security, commerce and science.Read moreRead less
Expressiveness Comparison and Interchange Facilitation between Business Process Execution Languages. 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.

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.

Personalized, Adaptive, and Semantic-driven Selection and Composition of Web Services. 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 underst ....Personalized, Adaptive, and Semantic-driven Selection and Composition of Web Services. 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
Application Frameworks for Collaborative Learning. We will pioneer the use of key software engineering techniques - design patterns and application frameworks - to reduce the cost and improve the quality of online collaborative learning activities. For the first time, we will combine software engineering and educational knowledge to use design patterns to describe best practice for these activities in engineering terms; we will use application frameworks to aggregate these patterns and implement ....Application Frameworks for Collaborative Learning. We will pioneer the use of key software engineering techniques - design patterns and application frameworks - to reduce the cost and improve the quality of online collaborative learning activities. For the first time, we will combine software engineering and educational knowledge to use design patterns to describe best practice for these activities in engineering terms; we will use application frameworks to aggregate these patterns and implement them as a readily usable tool. The result will be a powerful new generation of stable collaborative eLearning tools with enhanced scalability, interoperability and adaptability.Read moreRead less

Smart Use of Information Technologies (SUITs). The SUITs network will develop critical mass in world-class, leading-edge research into the smart use of information and communication technology (ICT) through integration of research within the dispersed Australian ICT research community and through facilitating international linkages. The network will undertake research applicable in key sectors including the health, education, service, knowledge and media industries. The aim is to establish a h ....Smart Use of Information Technologies (SUITs). The SUITs network will develop critical mass in world-class, leading-edge research into the smart use of information and communication technology (ICT) through integration of research within the dispersed Australian ICT research community and through facilitating international linkages. The network will undertake research applicable in key sectors including the health, education, service, knowledge and media industries. The aim is to establish a higher order of coordination and collaboration in research into ICT applications.
The feasibility study proposed will engage key stakeholders, refine research goals and investigate linkage mechanisms to improve Australia's ICT research and its contribution to economic and social well-being.

A novel Internet-based clinical trial service. The best way to test whether a clinical treatment intervention is effective is a randomised controlled trial (rct). Rcts are expensive, both in terms of resources and time. The internet may provide a method of conducting rcts which is efficent and provides access to those in remote communities. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of developing a structure for conducting rcts using the internet.
Modelling in the Large. Business modelling supports a variety of approaches, which are currently of significant interest for Australian organisations. This includes business process management, risk management or Enterprise Architecture design. The trend to centralised and integrated business modelling leads to projects with a high number of models, modellers, users, and modelling purposes. This phenomenon is called modelling in the large. The proposed research project explores the major issues ....Modelling in the Large. Business modelling supports a variety of approaches, which are currently of significant interest for Australian organisations. This includes business process management, risk management or Enterprise Architecture design. The trend to centralised and integrated business modelling leads to projects with a high number of models, modellers, users, and modelling purposes. This phenomenon is called modelling in the large. The proposed research project explores the major issues within these projects and develops improved modelling techniques and project management approaches for large modelling initiatives. The outcomes will streamline the design, integration, maintenance and communication of models with a focus on Enterprise Systems.Read moreRead less
