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
Lightweight security solutions for wearable healthcare sensor devices. The aim of this project is to develop new methods to secure the data and context associated with body-wearable health monitoring devices. The novelty of the scheme is in making the methods work on resource-poor devices, by combining new security capabilities derived from the operating environment with conventional cryptographic techniques. This project aims to increase the trust that medical practitioners and insurance provid ....Lightweight security solutions for wearable healthcare sensor devices. The aim of this project is to develop new methods to secure the data and context associated with body-wearable health monitoring devices. The novelty of the scheme is in making the methods work on resource-poor devices, by combining new security capabilities derived from the operating environment with conventional cryptographic techniques. This project aims to increase the trust that medical practitioners and insurance providers can place on health data from wearable devices, and showcase Australian innovation in developing world-class security solutions. The outcome of this project is expected to be the development and demonstration of ultra-lightweight algorithms and mechanisms that execute in wearable devices to safeguard the integrity of the data.Read moreRead less

financial newspapers. We approach the problem by addressing the key
performance problems that hold back the programming languagues widely
used for secure and reliable systems. By improving the reliability,
security and performance of computer systems, this project will help
alleviate the millions of hours and dollars lost to inadvertent errors
and malicious software attacks. The project will give Australia an
international presence in a research area of great academic and
commercial importance.Read moreRead less
Visual Analytics for Next Generation Sequencing. Next-generation sequencing technologies have brought a revolution in biology and healthcare, while taxing the ability of scientists and clinicians to identify and process relevant data, to make sense of it all and communicate it to others in a concise and meaningful way. This project aims to tackle this problem through fundamentally new approaches to data selection and visualisation at very large scale, actively encoding for insight into underlyin ....Visual Analytics for Next Generation Sequencing. Next-generation sequencing technologies have brought a revolution in biology and healthcare, while taxing the ability of scientists and clinicians to identify and process relevant data, to make sense of it all and communicate it to others in a concise and meaningful way. This project aims to tackle this problem through fundamentally new approaches to data selection and visualisation at very large scale, actively encoding for insight into underlying biological and biomedical processes, bringing sustainable discovery of new relationships and variations within the data. The project aims to support new approaches to medical diagnosis and treatment, and offer crucial lessons to address the broader challenge of understanding large, complex data sets.Read moreRead less
