Coordinated and Cooperative Load Sharing between Content Delivery Networks. Popular web services can experience severe downtimes as the result of heavy traffic. Enabling coordinated and cooperative content delivery between existing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will allow a CDN provider to rapidly 'scale-out' without investing in new infrastructure, to meet both flash crowds and anticipated increases in demand. Improved cost effectiveness, performance and locality for providers and end-users ....Coordinated and Cooperative Load Sharing between Content Delivery Networks. Popular web services can experience severe downtimes as the result of heavy traffic. Enabling coordinated and cooperative content delivery between existing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will allow a CDN provider to rapidly 'scale-out' without investing in new infrastructure, to meet both flash crowds and anticipated increases in demand. Improved cost effectiveness, performance and locality for providers and end-users can be achieved by leveraging existing infrastructure provided by other CDNs, creating economies of scale that were previously impossible. This is crucial for uses on the so-called edges of the internet (e.g. Australia) that depend on a small number of expensive data links to the major data centres in Europe and the USA.Read moreRead less
Next-generation Intelligent Explorations of Geo-located Data . This project aims to build a next-generation intelligent exploration framework over massive geo-located data, varying from points-of-interest to areas-of-interest data, in order to dramatically enhance user experiences when interacting with various forms of geo-located data over maps. Expected outcomes include novel exploration models, efficient and scalable algorithms for retrieving and visualizing the exploration results, online up ....Next-generation Intelligent Explorations of Geo-located Data . This project aims to build a next-generation intelligent exploration framework over massive geo-located data, varying from points-of-interest to areas-of-interest data, in order to dramatically enhance user experiences when interacting with various forms of geo-located data over maps. Expected outcomes include novel exploration models, efficient and scalable algorithms for retrieving and visualizing the exploration results, online updating of personal preferences during the life cycle of exploration, as well as a prototype system to evaluate and demonstrate practical value of the research. It will complement existing map services and significantly benefit many location-aware services, e.g., logistics, health services and urban planning.Read moreRead less

EII targets consolidated research towards the comprehensive development & establishment of advanced information infrastructures. Its prime purpose is to provide a forum for intellectual exchange by diverse yet complementary research groups, to address the fundamental research problems faced by scientific & business communities when dealing with deployment of information technology to globally distributed, and data intensive environments. EII will address 3 tightly coupled research themes: Ability to interoperate across existing heterogenous platforms & applications; Efficient processing of very large data sets; Technology adoption & impact. Generic results will be applicable to e-science and large business information systems installations.Read moreRead less
The development of Data Grids for High Energy Physics. Data Grids have developed world-wide interest as a means of enabling
geographically separated groups to collaborate and share data and computing
resources. Their use is particularly important to Australians.
High Energy Physics has been, and will continue to be a test-bed for these
technologies. Through our involvement with the state-of-the-art experiments
at BELLE and ATLAS, we plan to participate in the World-wide Data Grid

It is difficult to find Australian legal scholarship of the last 50 years because too little of it is available online or searchable from any central location. The Australian Legal Scholarship Library, located on AustLII, will remedy that by creating a comprehensive repository for Australian academic and non-profit law journals, law school repositories for all of their new scholarship no matter where it is eventually published, and smart methods of finding how legal documents relate to each other. People researching Australian law, whether for business, academic or community purposes, will benefit from better access to this wealth of expertise.Read moreRead less

The Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) is leading the development of a comprehensive global free access Internet legal research facility ('WorldLII' - the World Legal Information Institute), in cooperation with an international consortium of free access legal information providers . We are simultaneously extending the quantity and quality of AustLII as Australia's only national legal research infrastructure, and integrating it into the emerging WorldLII structure and standards. All Australian legal researchers, and the Australian community, are benefiting. Stage 3 completes the core databases, retrieval facilities and interfaces, increases system security and reliability, and satisfies rapidly increasing access demands.Read moreRead less
