Automating real-time feedback in virtual reality training through data mining. This project will use data mining techniques to develop a real-time feedback system that can be used in virtual reality training environments. This system will not only improve trainees' learning, it will also lead to more efficient use of virtual reality training in industries such as aviation, aerospace, mining, health and emergency services.
View-based processing of pattern matching queries in large graphs. Graph data exist ubiquitously in modern information systems. Graph pattern matching (GPM) finds parts of the data graph that match a given pattern. It has applications in many areas including knowledge discovery, public health, and crime detection. This project will develop novel techniques for the efficient processing of GPM queries in large graphs.
Efficient processing of distance-based spatial queries on multi-valued objects. This project aims to develop effective and efficient algorithms to analyse large scale multi-valued objects. The success of this project will not only be an important complement to the current spatial database systems but also bring considerable economic and social benefits to Australia.
Scalable Composition and Deployment of Business-to-Business Web-based E-Services. The ubiquity of the Internet offers far reaching opportunities for
emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible
services (e-services) in a systematic manner which make them easy to compose and deploy. Our research proposes to address the fundamental issue ....Scalable Composition and Deployment of Business-to-Business Web-based E-Services. The ubiquity of the Internet offers far reaching opportunities for
emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible
services (e-services) in a systematic manner which make them easy to compose and deploy. Our research proposes to address the fundamental issues related to fast and scalable composition of e-services in Web-based environments. We propose novel concepts for integrating a large number of dynamic and loosely coupled services. Another distinctive feature of our approach is the peer-to-peer collaborative execution of services.Read moreRead less
A novel Internet-based clinical trial service. The best way to test whether a clinical treatment intervention is effective is a randomised controlled trial (rct). Rcts are expensive, both in terms of resources and time. The internet may provide a method of conducting rcts which is efficent and provides access to those in remote communities. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of developing a structure for conducting rcts using the internet.
Managing data with high redundancy and low value density. This project aims to develop a database for data storage, cleaning, compression, hierarchal summarisation, indexing and query processing for machination data.Database management systems are needed to support stream query processing and manage historical data to support complex data analytics, data mining and data-driven decision making. Machination data, often found in sensor networks, GPS and RFID applications, vehicle on-board devices a ....Managing data with high redundancy and low value density. This project aims to develop a database for data storage, cleaning, compression, hierarchal summarisation, indexing and query processing for machination data.Database management systems are needed to support stream query processing and manage historical data to support complex data analytics, data mining and data-driven decision making. Machination data, often found in sensor networks, GPS and RFID applications, vehicle on-board devices and medical monitoring devices are difficult to manage and process because of large volumes and streaming, high redundancy and low value density. This project is expected to stream machination data management to support scalable query processing and data analytics.Read moreRead less
Information Health Monitor: An Instrument to Assess the Product and Service Quality of Information. Information quality problems are widespread in practice and have significant economic impacts. This project will refine and extend a rigorous theoretical framework for understanding information quality and develop and validate the Information Health Monitor, an instrument for assessing the quality of information within organisations. Existing approaches to information quality are mostly not rigoro ....Information Health Monitor: An Instrument to Assess the Product and Service Quality of Information. Information quality problems are widespread in practice and have significant economic impacts. This project will refine and extend a rigorous theoretical framework for understanding information quality and develop and validate the Information Health Monitor, an instrument for assessing the quality of information within organisations. Existing approaches to information quality are mostly not rigorously defined and view information as a product. This work is significant and innovative as it is soundly based in existing theory, rigorously defined and views information as both a product and service. The instrument will enable organisations to better identify and address their information quality problems.Read moreRead less
An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration ....An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration problems faced by current industries. The development of a reliable and flexible infrastructure will benefit small and medium-scale enterprises, as they will be able to participate in large-scale supply chains and expand their business, without having to invest in expensive new computer systems and software.Read moreRead less
Designing an Efficient and Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile Web Services. Mobile services (M-Services) are rapidly growing due to enormous proliferation of web services and of the wireless networks.
