Australia is faced with the challenge of engendering trust in, and protecting, the information systems vital to the economic and social development of the nation. This initiative will produce a national direction for research, development and educational activities in information security with particular emphasis on the protection of the national interest. It will do so by bringing together for the first time, academic, government and business people from a vast array of backgrounds, and whose interests lie across a spectrum of commercial, legal, policy and research outcomes.Read moreRead less
Participatory Wireless Sensor Networks. The investment in the Participatory Wireless Sensor Netwok (PWSN) research will ensure that Australia stays in the forefront of this innovative and disruptive technology. Since the PWSN concept leverages on the existing communication and sensing infrastructure, the entry cost for developing new business opportunities on it is low. There are ample opportunities for local companies (e.g. Internet service providers, mobile phone carriers and wireless service ....Participatory Wireless Sensor Networks.

Resilience Oriented Multicast for Real-time Multimedia. The current communication infrastructure market is one of the largest market segments in the world. However, it is evident that the current Internet provides limited support for a multitude of current, emerging and future services that require multicasting support (worldwide, enhanced IP service revenues are forecast to grow to $104.4 billion in 2005). The introduction of enhanced multicasting services will result in lowered input costs to ....Resilience Oriented Multicast for Real-time Multimedia. The current communication infrastructure market is one of the largest market segments in the world. However, it is evident that the current Internet provides limited support for a multitude of current, emerging and future services that require multicasting support (worldwide, enhanced IP service revenues are forecast to grow to $104.4 billion in 2005). The introduction of enhanced multicasting services will result in lowered input costs to industries and consumers with a wider choice of enhanced services. The mechanisms developed in this project will allow service providers to raise additional revenue and differentiate themselves by offering a wide range of enhanced services.Read moreRead less

PROVISION OF ARBITARY COMPLEX SERVICES ON THE MOBILE INTERNET. Within the next few years, mobile and wireless access to the Internet will very likely become the norm. These networks will use widely different networking technologies. Moreover, the services provided, will be accessed by the users using a wide variety of devices, with significantly different capabilities. Thus to provide seamless access, the system must adapt it self to the operating environment. These adaptations need to occur at ....PROVISION OF ARBITARY COMPLEX SERVICES ON THE MOBILE INTERNET. Within the next few years, mobile and wireless access to the Internet will very likely become the norm. These networks will use widely different networking technologies. Moreover, the services provided, will be accessed by the users using a wide variety of devices, with significantly different capabilities. Thus to provide seamless access, the system must adapt it self to the operating environment. These adaptations need to occur at different levels of the system, in isolation. This project is aimed at investigating the implications of adaptation decisions being taken in isolation at different levels on the system stability and performance.Read moreRead less
Pervasive Data Dissemination Framework Using Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for Emergency, Medical, and Rural Applications. Australia and many other countries face the problem of disseminating vital medical, local, and personal data in case of emergency and natural disasters when the main telecommunications infrastructure is disrupted.
