It will be important to Australia to be an early adopter of a next-generation Internet technology not only to ensure that the country retains its place in the world economic community of but also to ensure that its industries and citizens have access to new technologies. Techniques and methodologies emerging from this project will enable the design of Australia's future optical Internet.
The project will enable strategic decisions on the viability of new technologies, and as a result Australian service providers will have better and cheaper networks, and Australian users will enjoy better services at a lower cost.
The project will enhance the Australian knowledge base, skills base in the area of teletraffic and optical networking.

Translucent Optical Networks: Architecture, Design, Operation, and Survivability. Australia is a geographically disperse country. Long-haul optical transport networks are key communication infrastructure between metropolises. Our research aims to discover cost-effective network architecture and planning and operational strategies for optical transport networks, which is beneficial to the deployment and operation of Australian telecommunication networks. In addition, viewing the sparse connectivi ....Translucent Optical Networks: Architecture, Design, Operation, and Survivability. Australia is a geographically disperse country. Long-haul optical transport networks are key communication infrastructure between metropolises. Our research aims to discover cost-effective network architecture and planning and operational strategies for optical transport networks, which is beneficial to the deployment and operation of Australian telecommunication networks. In addition, viewing the sparse connectivity of Australian backbone transport networks, the research on network survivability will provide effective strategies for Australian transport networks to survive any network failures due to natural disasters or terror attacks, thereby providing reliable network services to Australian.

Summary
Nonmonotone Algorithms in Operator Splitting, Optimisation and Data Science. This project aims to develop the mathematical foundations for the analysis and development of optimisation algorithms used in data science. Despite their now ubiquitous use, machine learning software packages routinely rely on a number of algorithms from mathematical optimisation which are not properly understood. By moving beyond the traditional realms of Fejér monotone algorithms, this project expects to develop the m ....Nonmonotone Algorithms in Operator Splitting, Optimisation and Data Science. This project aims to develop the mathematical foundations for the analysis and development of optimisation algorithms used in data science. Despite their now ubiquitous use, machine learning software packages routinely rely on a number of algorithms from mathematical optimisation which are not properly understood. By moving beyond the traditional realms of Fejér monotone algorithms, this project expects to develop the mathematical theory required to rigorously justify the use of such algorithms and thereby ensure the integrity of the decision tools they produce. This mathematical framework is also expected to produce new algorithms for optimisation which benefit consumers of data science such as the health-care and cybersecurity sectors.Read moreRead less

This project aims to create a breakthrough switching dynamics approach and new technology to speed up finding optimal solutions. It will develop a distributed switching dynamics based optimisation scheme for global optimisation problems in industrial big-data environments where timely decision making is required. It will result in a practical technology for industry optimisation problems such as economic energy dispatch in smart grids and optimal charging and discharging tasks in a large network of electric vehicles, helping Australian power industry improve efficiency and security, as well as training the next generation scientists and engineers for Australia in this emerging field.Read moreRead less
Mathematics and computing for integrated stockyard-centric management of mining supply chains. Blended mineral products, such as coal and iron ore, make a strong contribution to Australia's economy. Blending occurs in stockpiles, so to realise product value, stockyard and supply chain operational plans must align with blend targets. This project will provide new mathematical and computational planning tools to maximise this value.
