Privacy Preserving Data Sharing in Electronic Health Environment. This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare.

This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare. This project aims to develop new privacy-preserving algorithms on EHD database federations, which can provide efficient data access yet block inside attacks. It will significantly improve the data available for medical research, while reducing the cost of EHD system management and providing visualised decision supports to medical staff and the government health resource planners.Read moreRead less

Summary
Mining Patterns and Changes of Wave Shapes for Efficiently Querying Periodic Data Streams. Many data streams change periodically, such as vital physiological parameters (for example, heart rate, arterial pressure and respiratory impedance) and seasonal environmental data streams (for example, temperature and turbidity of river water). However, the querying of periodic data streams faces great challenges, including the issue of critical signals being generally buried within massive data while cri ....Mining Patterns and Changes of Wave Shapes for Efficiently Querying Periodic Data Streams. Many data streams change periodically, such as vital physiological parameters (for example, heart rate, arterial pressure and respiratory impedance) and seasonal environmental data streams (for example, temperature and turbidity of river water). However, the querying of periodic data streams faces great challenges, including the issue of critical signals being generally buried within massive data while critical changes between similar wave shapes are difficult to recognise due to shifting, scaling and noise. This project will develop new mining algorithms to resolve these challenges by segmenting periodic wave shapes, discovering shape patterns and shape changes, and summarising raw data streams so that the summarised data can directly answer various user queries for efficiency.Read moreRead less

Summary
Accurate and online abnormality detection in multiple correlated time series. This study will develop a new kernel-based and online support vector regression method for real-time and correlated multiple time series and promote their use in critical applications, which will save money and lives. Examples include the detection of stock market crisis events and detection of patients' condition deterioration in the operating theatre.
A painless approach to support efficient querying and mining of spatial data through smart transformations. This project will develop spatial data retrieval methods that are not only highly efficient but also easy to implement ('painless'). It will help businesses such as digital map providers, location based service providers and medical researchers quickly possess this key enabling technique for their large scale spatial querying and mining needs.
Mining multi-typed and dynamic graphs. Large volumes of data collected nowadays from real-world applications are often represented as graphs. The nodes and the edges of such graphs represent different types of entities and interactions, and they have time information. This project will develop algorithms that mine efficiently such multi-typed and dynamic graphs.
Cost efficient scheduling of big data application workflows on cloud through information correlation. Information correlation in and between big data application workflows scheduled on the cloud can help to significantly reduce overall scheduling costs by avoiding the execution of many correlated workflow activities. This project aims to systematically investigate such correlation for cost efficient scheduling. The expected outcomes are: establishing information correlation based scheduling rese ....Cost efficient scheduling of big data application workflows on cloud through information correlation. Information correlation in and between big data application workflows scheduled on the cloud can help to significantly reduce overall scheduling costs by avoiding the execution of many correlated workflow activities. This project aims to systematically investigate such correlation for cost efficient scheduling. The expected outcomes are: establishing information correlation based scheduling research and practical solutions for this important cloud and big data research area; benefiting key big data application areas on the cloud, such as hospitals, insurance companies and government information services; and helping to maintain Australia at the forefront of cloud and big data research with innovative industry applications.Read moreRead less

The greatest problems come not from a lack of distributed machine learning algorithms, but rather from preparing the data needed for fitting, evaluating and applying statistical models; often a manual, messy and costly process. This project proposes to develop advanced databases and statistical techniques for scalable and efficient data preparation, with the goal of bringing Big Machine Learning to a much broader range of users and businesses.Read moreRead less
From Data to Artefact: a Key Ingredient in Service Interoperation. Supporting service interoperation in the e-Business environment is crucial in automating business transactions across organisation boundaries. If no proper mechanism is in place, business delays, failures, and serious disputes can occur.

Supporting service interoperation in the e-Business environment is crucial in automating business transactions across organisation boundaries. If no proper mechanism is in place, business delays, failures, and serious disputes can occur. This project will explore new avenues to this long-standing and challenging problem by providing an artefact framework to model and manage business collaboration. Given this project's unique perspective and approaches that are directly applicable to existing enterprise systems, there is a strong potential for its results to lead to a new generation of e-Business design and management, advance the knowledge base of the discipline and yield high returns to the Australian service society and IT industry.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop novel efficient and effective models and techniques that enable record linkage of large dynamic databases while preserving the privacy of sensitive personal data. Social genomes are the digital footprints of our society. They are the basis of population informatics, which is revolutionising how researchers in various domains conduct studies, governments plan services and expenditures, and businesses advertise and interact with their customers. A core requirement of population informatics is the linking of large dynamic databases that contain details about people from diverse sources. The expected outcomes of this project will provide novel solutions to the challenges of population informatics faced by Australian organisations.Read moreRead less
