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

Summary
High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields i ....High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields including machine learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval, bioinformatics and image analysis. It is expected that the developed clustering techniques will provide significant performance improvements in industry sectors where decisions are made based on clustering data analytics, such as the sectors of finance, renewable energy and artificial intelligence.Read moreRead less
Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points ....Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points of interest rather than directly seeking trips from others to set destinations. It also aims to introduce privacy-aware dynamic matching of sharers, and expand to transportation at large, to generate new shared transportation services. The expected outcome of this project is to elevate today's taxi-like ride-sharing services to true ride-sharing arrangements. This is expected to provide benefits such as reduced traffic and emissions, as well as addressing parking issues and other traffic problems.Read moreRead less
