This research project will build new methods for adopting and deploying emerging Intelligent Agent and Semantic Web technologies for the purpose of enabling and sustaining innovation. Intelligent Agents and the Semantic Web are frontier technologies that facilitate information sharing and knowledge integration from multiple resources, and empower complex information systems for independent action in open unpredictable environments such as a competitive global marketplace. We apply our methods in the Wholesale Financial Services Industry. Hence, the project supports both the ARC designated priority area, Frontier Technologies, and a National Priority to establish Australia as a financial services centre in the Asia Pacific Region.Read moreRead less

Floor trading versus computer trading - Does it matter? Computer systems for securities trading date from the 1980s. These systems are large, costly and extremely complex. Outcomes from their introduction were unforeseen and the relevant research literature is sparse. This project will investigate experimentally with a simulated trading system the effects on trading behaviour of important system parameters. Intelligent support systems for traders will also be developed and tested. The project ....Floor trading versus computer trading - Does it matter? Computer systems for securities trading date from the 1980s. These systems are large, costly and extremely complex. Outcomes from their introduction were unforeseen and the relevant research literature is sparse. This project will investigate experimentally with a simulated trading system the effects on trading behaviour of important system parameters. Intelligent support systems for traders will also be developed and tested. The project team combines needed expertise from the areas of human decision making, finance, and advanced information technologies. Results will be important for theory of market microstructure and interactive intelligent systems and also for an important industry in Australia.Read moreRead less
Transforming Banking Service Delivery Through Connected Communities. This project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the potential that the increased connectedness between customers has for organisations in the services sector. The massive uptake of social technologies demonstrates the high demand for connectedness. However, to date corporations and their customers have insufficient means to utilise such communities. Using the banking sector as an example, the project's outcomes intend to ....Transforming Banking Service Delivery Through Connected Communities. This project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the potential that the increased connectedness between customers has for organisations in the services sector. The massive uptake of social technologies demonstrates the high demand for connectedness. However, to date corporations and their customers have insufficient means to utilise such communities. Using the banking sector as an example, the project's outcomes intend to show how digital communities can improve the delivery of services and facilitate new co-delivery and brokerage models.Read moreRead less

Efficient Processing of Complex Spatial Queries. Similarity search and join are two of the most popular yet complex queiries in spatial databases. They are also two of the major spatial data analysis paradigms. To complement the existing techniques, this project aims to investigate a more complex and important form of these two problems, and to develop novel framework to approach the proposed problems. The successful achievements of the project will not only bring new spatial data analysis techn ....Efficient Processing of Complex Spatial Queries.
