Privacy preserving data sharing in data mining environments. Preserving privacy in data mining among various enterprises and organisations is essential for many real world applications in areas like health surveillance, business analysis, fraud detection and terror protection. Efficient and effective techniques are badly needed to protect privacy in data sharing and data mining.

Preserving privacy in data mining among various enterprises and organisations is essential for many real world applications in areas like health surveillance, business analysis, fraud detection and terror protection. Efficient and effective techniques are badly needed to protect privacy in data sharing and data mining. The developed cutting-edge techniques in this project will be implemented in freely available open source software tools, empowering Australian organisations to utilise the techniques to develop intelligent systems in data sharing environments. These techniques will ultimately lead to better utilisation of the information available in many enterprises and organisations.Read moreRead less
Managing and Mining Evolving Ontologies through combining Patterns Languages and Data Mining. Data mining offers insight into the substantial and growing repositories of medical data while pattern languages offer the ability to provide a high level conceptual designs of an artifact or process. This project thus promises to facilitate, on the one hand, the discovery of medical knowledge from large quantities of clinical or epidemiological data, while also providing a better way of constructing a ....Managing and Mining Evolving Ontologies through combining Patterns Languages and Data Mining. Data mining offers insight into the substantial and growing repositories of medical data while pattern languages offer the ability to provide a high level conceptual designs of an artifact or process. This project thus promises to facilitate, on the one hand, the discovery of medical knowledge from large quantities of clinical or epidemiological data, while also providing a better way of constructing and validating medically oriented design patterns which can then be used in medical data collection systems.Read moreRead less
Information Seeking & Research Adoption: Assessing Communication Strategies. This project aims to determine the best ways to communicate wine research and to design tools to support research adoption. Adoption of research relies on effective use of information and technology by employees. Research into employees’ information practices in the workplace has been conducted in health care, education and other areas; however, the wine industry’s use of information and technology for adoption is unexp ....Information Seeking & Research Adoption: Assessing Communication Strategies. This project aims to determine the best ways to communicate wine research and to design tools to support research adoption. Adoption of research relies on effective use of information and technology by employees. Research into employees’ information practices in the workplace has been conducted in health care, education and other areas; however, the wine industry’s use of information and technology for adoption is unexplored. The project plans to assess the strategies used to share research with winemakers and grape growers (e.g. seminars, websites, social media), from information behaviour or web useability perspectives, to ensure industry needs are met appropriately. This research aims to have a direct and immediate impact on the wine industry. In addition to the immediate impact of new research innovations that will be implemented by our partner wine companies, the project will also change industry-wide approaches to extension. The partner organisations use extension strategies to showcase new innovations and our research will assess these organisations’ current practices, providing evidence to shape the design of future activities in Australia.Read moreRead less
