This project will help make X10 a viable choice for secure software on the next generation of computer architectures. The proposed project will contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental processes that advance knowledge and facilitate the development of technological innovations (a research priority goal). By addressing a key emerging problem and consolidating Australian-based expertise in this area, the project will also enhance Australia’s capacity in frontier technologies research.Read moreRead less
Control Strategies for Idle Speed of Automotive Engines. Reduction of engine idle speed will provide significant improvements in fuel efficiency. Current techniques are based on simplified models of a complex engine system and as a result do not fully exploit the possible controller capability. Therefore this project proposes new engine models and will provide novel controller methods to address this problem. This should contribute to increased engine stability and faster torque response to dist ....Control Strategies for Idle Speed of Automotive Engines. Reduction of engine idle speed will provide significant improvements in fuel efficiency. Current techniques are based on simplified models of a complex engine system and as a result do not fully exploit the possible controller capability. Therefore this project proposes new engine models and will provide novel controller methods to address this problem. This should contribute to increased engine stability and faster torque response to disturbances like air conditioner engagement, for both LPG and gasoline injected engines, thus allowing the engine idle speed to be lowered without risking stall or impairing the engine Noise, Vibration and Harshness quality.Read moreRead less

Summary
Major upgrade of the computing hardware and software for the widely used BioManager bioinformatic service. ANGIS has been an Australian national facility for bioinformatics since 1991, now with over 4000 users across 150 university schools or departments, government departments, hospitals and research institutes. The grant will provide the computer upgrade and software support needed to handle the enormous increases in database size and complexity and expand the service into new areas of bioinfo ....Major upgrade of the computing hardware and software for the widely used BioManager bioinformatic service. ANGIS has been an Australian national facility for bioinformatics since 1991, now with over 4000 users across 150 university schools or departments, government departments, hospitals and research institutes. The grant will provide the computer upgrade and software support needed to handle the enormous increases in database size and complexity and expand the service into new areas of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is critical to much of modern biology, and the improvements will enhance research and data analysis in many areas of research, leveraging more value from the research being undertaken by users.
