Next Generation Ubiquitous Service Spaces. The challenges facing the next generation ubiquitous service computing come from scale and variability in user activities, services, and network connectivity. The project will deliver innovative, useful, and usable concepts and tools to allow provisioning of services in large scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous environments. This research will have significant benefits to Australia. It will strengthen research capabilities and provide an ideal opportunity ....Next Generation Ubiquitous Service Spaces. The challenges facing the next generation ubiquitous service computing come from scale and variability in user activities, services, and network connectivity. The project will deliver innovative, useful, and usable concepts and tools to allow provisioning of services in large scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous environments. This research will have significant benefits to Australia. It will strengthen research capabilities and provide an ideal opportunity to train postgraduate research students in cutting edge technologies. It will enhance smart information use for useful information sharing among individuals, private or public organisations. It will facilitate the development of IT solutions that help citizens be self-supported.Read moreRead less
Long-term Cloud Service Composition. This project proposes an economic model-based framework for the selection and composition of cloud services, thus creating an efficient market for cloud consumers and providers. The project will use economic models that incorporate a range of quality of service (QoS) parameters as a key driver for optimising the selection of cloud services and the acceptance of consumer requests. The main outcomes of this project aim to increase efficiencies in the cloud mark ....Long-term Cloud Service Composition.

Cognitive intelligent information processing and presentation in navigation. This project aims to develop a personalised navigation system to provide effective augmented-reality (AR)-based support information, built on different navigation preference and the momentary cognitive workload of the user. This will immediately encourage users to become aware of their surroundings and continuous use will facilitate the development of navigation skills. It is expected that this research will advance sci ....Cognitive intelligent information processing and presentation in navigation. This project aims to develop a personalised navigation system to provide effective augmented-reality (AR)-based support information, built on different navigation preference and the momentary cognitive workload of the user. This will immediately encourage users to become aware of their surroundings and continuous use will facilitate the development of navigation skills. It is expected that this research will advance scientific knowledge about individual differences in navigation ability. It will significantly enhance spatial learning and alleviate the apparent decline in navigational ability experienced across the life span, benefiting the aged population in Australia by enabling them to live longer independent lives.Read moreRead less
An integrated and real-time passenger travel and public transport service information system. This project will help the Department of Transport provide improved services to the public through a better understanding of journey planning demands in comparison to public transport services. By integrating research through design methods with technological solutions, the project will deliver better quality of service and higher customer satisfaction.
Uncertain Information Processing for Situation Awareness and Dynamic Decision-Making in Emergency Management. The Australian national counter-terrorism committee indicates that Australia should have a strong intelligence-led prevention and preparedness to support Australia on risk management, emergency services and maintaining capabilities to manage various types of terrorist attacks. The proposed situation awareness support technique can be used to develop situation analysis software systems or ....Uncertain Information Processing for Situation Awareness and Dynamic Decision-Making in Emergency Management. The Australian national counter-terrorism committee indicates that Australia should have a strong intelligence-led prevention and preparedness to support Australia on risk management, emergency services and maintaining capabilities to manage various types of terrorist attacks. The proposed situation awareness support technique can be used to develop situation analysis software systems or directly support Australia government agencies and industries to correctly assess a situation, increase awareness for crisis problems, and therefore improve emergency management and decision-making effectiveness, in particular, for avoiding disaster problems in the first place and preparing plans for those that undoubtedly will occur.

A Comprehensive Platform for Dynamic Decision Support in Warning Systems through Better Management of Uncertain Information. Public and individual warning systems are installed widely in Australia for emergency situations such as fire, terrorist attack, tsunami, and financial risk. The developed platform with its uncertain information management and dynamic decision support software will directly assist Australian government agencies, industries, and professional officers responsible for public ....A Comprehensive Platform for Dynamic Decision Support in Warning Systems through Better Management of Uncertain Information. Public and individual warning systems are installed widely in Australia for emergency situations such as fire, terrorist attack, tsunami, and financial risk. The developed platform with its uncertain information management and dynamic decision support software will directly assist Australian government agencies, industries, and professional officers responsible for public warning systems by improving the reliability of generated warnings, effective design of any new warning system, and accurate decision making in responding threats. It will also greatly contribute to the processing of uncertain information in other organizational information systems, and enhance training exercise facilities in complex emergency environments.Read moreRead less
