High-performance computational data-mining techniques for feature detection in complex time series from large-scale, networked plasma experiments. Terabytes of data are gathered from large experimental facilities as complex time-series. Analysis of these data is daunting, especially when they involve high-dimensional spectral or image arrays. We will develop high-performance computational techniques for dimension reduction, efficient data-mining, and experimental control, using as an initial ta ....High-performance computational data-mining techniques for feature detection in complex time series from large-scale, networked plasma experiments. Terabytes of data are gathered from large experimental facilities as complex time-series. Analysis of these data is daunting, especially when they involve high-dimensional spectral or image arrays. We will develop high-performance computational techniques for dimension reduction, efficient data-mining, and experimental control, using as an initial target the H-1NF plasma fusion MNRF at the ANU and its >100 GB/year data stream. The techniques will immediately provide Australian researchers with unique tools for collaboration in international research to develop fusion as a low-emissions source of electricity, and will be applicable to complex time-series analysis in other areas of science, medicine, and defence.Read moreRead less
Handling unreliable, uncertain and inadequate data for Intelligence led Investigation. Intelligence led investigation has been successful recently in drug and people smuggling, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, and can benefit profoundly from the techniques we will develop, in the timely management and inference from many sources and kinds of uncertain information. This work will assist in making Australia a safer and more secure country.
E.g., Australian Bureau of Statistics ....Handling unreliable, uncertain and inadequate data for Intelligence led Investigation. Intelligence led investigation has been successful recently in drug and people smuggling, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, and can benefit profoundly from the techniques we will develop, in the timely management and inference from many sources and kinds of uncertain information. This work will assist in making Australia a safer and more secure country.
E.g., Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that for 2004, investigations of some 35% of murders, 63% of kidnappings, and 80% of robberies are incomplete at 30 days. Terrorism investigations are harder in that usually there is no initial crime trigger for an investigation. Any assistance our tools can provide in will be of significant benefit to Australia.Read moreRead less

Multimedia Information Technology is becoming a major stream for modern computers, networks, and new platforms (e.g. embedded-systems, mobile-phones, PDAs, digital-TV) in various applications, including media production and e-healthcare where Australia has tremendous strengths. This proposal aims to bring top researchers in the related areas, including IT, Healthcare, Architecture and Visual-arts, to push a new technological wave in Australia, to provide its value promised to Australian business, and to take international leadership in multimedia computing. Its outcome includes the formation of research teams, coordinated by a board, for 10 programs, and a CSCW-system & related website to facilitate the group work.Read moreRead less
New Methods for Researching the Existence and Impact of Political Networks on the WWW. Web mining and data visualisation technologies will be employed in a new methodology for the study of online networks built by organisations (or any entity). The methodology will provide insights into the online networking behaviour of Australian political parties, producing information on how extensively parties are using the Web to connect with other groups, which parties use it most effectively and whether ....New Methods for Researching the Existence and Impact of Political Networks on the WWW. Web mining and data visualisation technologies will be employed in a new methodology for the study of online networks built by organisations (or any entity). The methodology will provide insights into the online networking behaviour of Australian political parties, producing information on how extensively parties are using the Web to connect with other groups, which parties use it most effectively and whether they form online political ?communities?. The methodology will be embodied in an integrated software package that will be of use to researchers in academia, government and business, and hence of significant commercial potential.Read moreRead less

. The establishment of AUSSGrid will enhance the ability of social scientists in academic, government and private sectors, to digitise, preserve and disseminate social science data holdings of national significance. AUSSGrid will allow social scientists to better co-ordinate research, avoid unnecessary duplication of data collection, and maximise researcher access to the products of government funded research. It will create a resource base that will enable the social sciences to take advantage of emerging grid technologies. These developments will have implications for how research is devised, conducted and disseminated, with major applications in government administration and policy-making.Read moreRead less
