Complex Architecture and Convergent Design. After breaking the design code for Gaudí's Sagrada Família Church in 1979, completing the still unfinished church has required Mark Burry to pioneer groundbreaking architectural and construction design methodologies and practices. His current work is on the computer modelling and dynamic simulation of complex design and construction problems, and methods for multi-disciplinary and distributed team collaboration. This work has high impact industry appli ....Complex Architecture and Convergent Design. After breaking the design code for Gaudí's Sagrada Família Church in 1979, completing the still unfinished church has required Mark Burry to pioneer groundbreaking architectural and construction design methodologies and practices. His current work is on the computer modelling and dynamic simulation of complex design and construction problems, and methods for multi-disciplinary and distributed team collaboration. This work has high impact industry applications. At the intersection of so many fields of industrial research, Mark Burry's work acts as a catalyst and accelerator for technology transfer and innovation across the architectural, design and construction industries.Read moreRead less
Intelligent Collaborative Care Management. The project will provide the basis for new models of consumer care in both social and commercial settings. In a commercial setting, customer care means looking after the customer, with the hope of retaining their business. By developing a formal model of evidence-based care, together with the information technologies to implement this model, the project will result in higher quality, safer, more efficient and more effective care. This will produce si ....Intelligent Collaborative Care Management. The project will provide the basis for new models of consumer care in both social and commercial settings. In a commercial setting, customer care means looking after the customer, with the hope of retaining their business. By developing a formal model of evidence-based care, together with the information technologies to implement this model, the project will result in higher quality, safer, more efficient and more effective care. This will produce significant economic and social benefits for Australia across a wide range of service industries. The project will also generate export opportunities for information technology services and products in health care and other service industries. In addition, it will drive collaboration with leading global businesses, providing new paths to market for Australian research, technologies and innovations.Read moreRead less
Integrated Decision Support for Appropriate Use of Pathology Tests in Australian General Practice: a Business Systems Perspective. The costs of pathology services in Australia are growing by at least $60 million per year. As the result of the recent "pap smear scandals", quality of pathology services has come under tight public scrutiny. Industry reports indicate the lack of analysis of the consistency of pathology tests ordering, underdeveloped models for communication between providers, and la ....Integrated Decision Support for Appropriate Use of Pathology Tests in Australian General Practice: a Business Systems Perspective. The costs of pathology services in Australia are growing by at least $60 million per year. As the result of the recent "pap smear scandals", quality of pathology services has come under tight public scrutiny. Industry reports indicate the lack of analysis of the consistency of pathology tests ordering, underdeveloped models for communication between providers, and lack of alert, reminder, and follow-up systems for pathology tests. This research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated IT-based decision support system aimed at improving the dynamics and process flow in order to satisfy the demands for high quality pathology services.Read moreRead less
Information Technology Driven Integrated Decision Support for Mass Casualty Disaster Management in Australia. The purpose of mass casualty disaster management is to reduce the level of public risk associated with emergencies and disasters. High quality and responsiveness of emergency services is currently one of the Australian national priorities. Vast amount of both explicit and tacit practical disaster management knowledge has been accumulated at Medical Displan Victoria. The proposed research ....Information Technology Driven Integrated Decision Support for Mass Casualty Disaster Management in Australia. The purpose of mass casualty disaster management is to reduce the level of public risk associated with emergencies and disasters. High quality and responsiveness of emergency services is currently one of the Australian national priorities. Vast amount of both explicit and tacit practical disaster management knowledge has been accumulated at Medical Displan Victoria. The proposed research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated knowledge-based computer decision support system that is aimed at improving the contingency management processes in order to satisfy the demands for high quality and responsiveness of mass casualty disaster medical services in Australia.Read moreRead less
Information Technology Driven Reengineering of Emergency Health Care Facilities in Australia: a Process Intelligence Perspective. Peninsula Health provides services to over 290,000 people. The number of cases when its emergency departments reject ambulance arrivals and close on "by-pass" has recently increased dramatically. Lack of reliable forecasting tools, underdeveloped models for resource allocation, the absence of scenario analysis and process dynamics tracking tools that are able to simul ....Information Technology Driven Reengineering of Emergency Health Care Facilities in Australia: a Process Intelligence Perspective. Peninsula Health provides services to over 290,000 people. The number of cases when its emergency departments reject ambulance arrivals and close on "by-pass" has recently increased dramatically. Lack of reliable forecasting tools, underdeveloped models for resource allocation, the absence of scenario analysis and process dynamics tracking tools that are able to simulate different scenarios, all contribute to current challenging situation. This research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated IT-based decision support system aimed at reengineering the Industry Partner's business process flow in order to satisfy the demands for the emergency medical care program.Read moreRead less
