Insoluble-fibre enriched beverages. Insoluble-fibre enriched beverages. This project aims to develop healthy new beverages, by studying the effect of chemistry and physical interactions of insoluble dietary fibre with other food ingredients. Insoluble fibre reduces the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. This project will research how insoluble-fibre linked phytochemicals behave in complex matrices and contribute to malodorous flavours; and design adv ....Insoluble-fibre enriched beverages.

Reputation-based Trust Framework for Composed Services. This project aims at providing a uniform and efficient framework for bootstrapping, establishing, and propagating reputation in composed Web services. Reputation is used as a key criterion for establishing trust among composed Web services.

This project aims at providing a uniform and efficient framework for bootstrapping, establishing, and propagating reputation in composed Web services. Reputation is used as a key criterion for establishing trust among composed Web services. Web services are de-facto the technology of choice for the deployment of an increasing number of Web-based solutions for such emerging applications as cloud computing. Because of the distributed and decentralised nature of the Web, there is a need to establish a trust framework for selecting and composing Web services. The key parameter will be based on Web service reputation in delivering services.Read moreRead less

The project will maximise the value of public investment in digital history resources by developing new methods of sharing and re-using content between systems and inviting and managing community participation. It will develop methods of preserving the community's investment in history exhibitions after they are taken down, and promote engagement with Sydney's history through delivery of historical information on “smartphones” in situ within the city. It will generate new content for, and reduce content development costs for a major public resource, the Dictionary of Sydney, and showcase Australian Humanities eResearch by delivering new approaches to content creation and delivery which will be of value to the international research community.Read moreRead less
Long-term Cloud Service Composition. This project proposes an economic model-based framework for the selection and composition of cloud services, thus creating an efficient market for cloud consumers and providers. The project will use economic models that incorporate a range of quality of service (QoS) parameters as a key driver for optimising the selection of cloud services and the acceptance of consumer requests. The main outcomes of this project aim to increase efficiencies in the cloud mark ....Long-term Cloud Service Composition.

This project aims to provide data and understanding that will help develop predictive models for changes in the distribution of drug-resistant bacteria, and surveillance and response programs for key biosecurity threats. Microorganisms, including commensals and pathogens, can live in complex communities in a range of environments including animal hosts. It is now known that these communities (known as microbiomes) can exert a profound effect on animal health. This project seeks to understand where antimicrobial resistance genes reside in pig gut microbiotia and how they move between members of this complex microbial community, and to provide information on how probiotics may be used to reduce dependence on antibiotics.Read moreRead less
