A Commercially Viable, Innovative XML - Enabled Association Rule Framework. The pervasive nature of the Web has raised two important issues, namely (1) how to exchange data between isolated information systems within two different companies with their own data formats and (2) how to store information particularly documents, so that they can be accessed through the internet based on their meaning. The Extended Markup Language XML has emerged as the favoured means of addressing these issues and th ....A Commercially Viable, Innovative XML - Enabled Association Rule Framework. The pervasive nature of the Web has raised two important issues, namely (1) how to exchange data between isolated information systems within two different companies with their own data formats and (2) how to store information particularly documents, so that they can be accessed through the internet based on their meaning. The Extended Markup Language XML has emerged as the favoured means of addressing these issues and this is leading to an explosive growth in the information stored in this way. This project addresses the issue of determination of patterns and knowledge in information stored in XML through datamining.Read moreRead less
A Skin Detection Micro-Sensor for Face Identification using Color and Stereo Information. The objective of this research is to develop a micro-sensor for face identification, using color and stereo information. The micro-sensor chip performs a real-time search of the scene to locate human skin for subsequent face detection. This micro-sensor could also be used for gesture recognition, lip reading, monitoring driver's hypo-vigilance or tracking a person in a crowd. The chip image-recognition capa ....A Skin Detection Micro-Sensor for Face Identification using Color and Stereo Information.

Sustainable resource exploration and mining onshore, as well as marine planning, exploration, and defence depend on effective cross-disciplinary investigation, sharing of expertise and technologies for integration and computational analysis of multidimensional data spaces. EON-ITNET will cross-fertilise the use of artificial intelligence, advanced computing and smart information sharing for management, analysis, visualisation and metadata modelling between these traditionally separate research groups, with the outcome of improving research efficiency and lowering costs. EON-ITNET will form an alliance with the Caltech-based GeoFramework, which is advancing a novel object-oriented data analysis environment, binding community software for Earth visualisation and simulation to 4D data bases.Read moreRead less
