Summary
Creating tactile electronic books for people with vision impairment. This project aims to create a framework which allows authoring, reading and storing of tactile electronic books for people with vision impairment by using multi-touch, audio, and tactile technologies. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of human computer interaction and information visualisation utilising new techniques to present visual information in the form of audio and tactile. Expected outcomes of t ....Creating tactile electronic books for people with vision impairment. This project aims to create a framework which allows authoring, reading and storing of tactile electronic books for people with vision impairment by using multi-touch, audio, and tactile technologies. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of human computer interaction and information visualisation utilising new techniques to present visual information in the form of audio and tactile. Expected outcomes of the project are to reduce the cost of authoring accessible textual and graphical content, and to provide a practical and intuitive reading experience. This should provide benefits to people with vision impairment while accessing information in a more effective and efficient way.Read moreRead less
The Open Innovation Process: Factors and Technologies that Matter. This project aims to identify approaches to enable firms to find and introduce ideas through open innovation. Open innovation, with its focus on external sources of ideas, is a promising approach for increasing organisational innovation. While uptake of open innovation is on the increase, the lack of understanding of practices and technologies used to successfully introduce it into firms, limits its usefulness and results in wast ....The Open Innovation Process: Factors and Technologies that Matter. This project aims to identify approaches to enable firms to find and introduce ideas through open innovation. Open innovation, with its focus on external sources of ideas, is a promising approach for increasing organisational innovation. While uptake of open innovation is on the increase, the lack of understanding of practices and technologies used to successfully introduce it into firms, limits its usefulness and results in wasted resources. This project aims to investigate open innovation and relevant technologies to identify success factors for the idea generation and assessment phases of open innovation, develop guidelines for their application, identify effective technologies and related recommendations for use, and quantify their impact on innovation.Read moreRead less
Managing conflicts in requirements engineering with argumentation frameworks. This project proposes to employ argumentation theory and frameworks to tackle the problem of conflict management and resolution in requirements engineering. Australia has a strong competitive advantage in the areas of belief change and conflict management. The outcomes of this project will provide an improved infrastructure for several areas of software engineering, including requirements engineering and software evol ....Managing conflicts in requirements engineering with argumentation frameworks. This project proposes to employ argumentation theory and frameworks to tackle the problem of conflict management and resolution in requirements engineering. Australia has a strong competitive advantage in the areas of belief change and conflict management. The outcomes of this project will provide an improved infrastructure for several areas of software engineering, including requirements engineering and software evolution management. More broadly, the work proposed here will enable the IT industry to adopt and utilise the techniques developed in a number of research fields of Artificial Intelligence in developing the robust and reliable software systems for the rapidly changing knowledge economy of the 21st century.Read moreRead less
Integrated Decision Support for Appropriate Use of Pathology Tests in Australian General Practice: a Business Systems Perspective. The costs of pathology services in Australia are growing by at least $60 million per year. As the result of the recent "pap smear scandals", quality of pathology services has come under tight public scrutiny. Industry reports indicate the lack of analysis of the consistency of pathology tests ordering, underdeveloped models for communication between providers, and la ....Integrated Decision Support for Appropriate Use of Pathology Tests in Australian General Practice: a Business Systems Perspective. The costs of pathology services in Australia are growing by at least $60 million per year. As the result of the recent "pap smear scandals", quality of pathology services has come under tight public scrutiny. Industry reports indicate the lack of analysis of the consistency of pathology tests ordering, underdeveloped models for communication between providers, and lack of alert, reminder, and follow-up systems for pathology tests. This research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated IT-based decision support system aimed at improving the dynamics and process flow in order to satisfy the demands for high quality pathology services.Read moreRead less
Information Technology Driven Integrated Decision Support for Mass Casualty Disaster Management in Australia. The purpose of mass casualty disaster management is to reduce the level of public risk associated with emergencies and disasters. High quality and responsiveness of emergency services is currently one of the Australian national priorities. Vast amount of both explicit and tacit practical disaster management knowledge has been accumulated at Medical Displan Victoria. The proposed research ....Information Technology Driven Integrated Decision Support for Mass Casualty Disaster Management in Australia.

High quality and responsiveness of emergency services is currently one of the Australian national priorities. Vast amount of both explicit and tacit practical disaster management knowledge has been accumulated at Medical Displan Victoria. The proposed research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated knowledge-based computer decision support system that is aimed at improving the contingency management processes in order to satisfy the demands for high quality and responsiveness of mass casualty disaster medical services in Australia.Read moreRead less
Information Technology Driven Reengineering of Emergency Health Care Facilities in Australia: a Process Intelligence Perspective. Peninsula Health provides services to over 290,000 people. The number of cases when its emergency departments reject ambulance arrivals and close on "by-pass" has recently increased dramatically. Lack of reliable forecasting tools, underdeveloped models for resource allocation, the absence of scenario analysis and process dynamics tracking tools that are able to simul ....Information Technology Driven Reengineering of Emergency Health Care Facilities in Australia: a Process Intelligence Perspective. Peninsula Health provides services to over 290,000 people. The number of cases when its emergency departments reject ambulance arrivals and close on "by-pass" has recently increased dramatically. Lack of reliable forecasting tools, underdeveloped models for resource allocation, the absence of scenario analysis and process dynamics tracking tools that are able to simulate different scenarios, all contribute to current challenging situation. This research investigates the issues of planning, design, implementation, and monitoring of an integrated IT-based decision support system aimed at reengineering the Industry Partner's business process flow in order to satisfy the demands for the emergency medical care program.Read moreRead less

Crisis management services using traditional methods like phone calls can be easily delayed due to limited communication ability in the disaster area. This project aims to help users make smart decision in critical situations by using big social media data to detect complex social events, receive recommendations, and observe event summaries. We will invent advanced social data models, efficient indices and query techniques for situation awareness in big media. We expect to develop a system to evaluate the proposed situation awareness framework. The outcomes of the project will benefit social media analysis and big data fields. It will also improve the government services by enabling the real time situation awareness in crisis.Read moreRead less
