Federated Cloud Services Configuration and Orchestration. Cloud computing allows organisations to expand or contract their computing footprint based on existing demand. However, existing cloud delivery models support individual segregated and heterogeneous functionalities, which prevent effective coordinated combination of on-premise and off-premise applications, services, and resources.

Cloud computing allows organisations to expand or contract their computing footprint based on existing demand. However, existing cloud delivery models support individual segregated and heterogeneous functionalities, which prevent effective coordinated combination of on-premise and off-premise applications, services, and resources. This project aims to significantly contribute to the scientific foundations for the model-driven and elastic configuration and orchestration of resources over heterogeneous cloud services. The outcomes of the project aim to contribute to lifting productivity and economic growth through interoperable and elastic cloud service technologies as well as delivering appropriate skills for the new digital economy.Read moreRead less
Next generation real-time trajectory mining for travel and transportation decision support. Mining human and vehicle trajectories in real time will enable a suite of next-generation applications such as traffic overload prediction, real-time event detection and route recommendation. This project will develop novel techniques for immediate mining of massive volumes of trajectory data as it is being continuously generated.
Ubiquitous Data Mining and Situation-Awareness for Improving Road Safety. Road crashes cost Australia $15 billion a year and 95% of these are attributed to drivers' errors. Risk assessment is at the core of the road crash problem. This innovative project develops a computational model that analyses situational driver behaviour and proposes real-time countermeasures to minimise fatalities/casualties. We develop and evaluate a novel Intelligent Transport System that assesses and acts upon drivers ....Ubiquitous Data Mining and Situation-Awareness for Improving Road Safety. Road crashes cost Australia $15 billion a year and 95% of these are attributed to drivers' errors. Risk assessment is at the core of the road crash problem. This innovative project develops a computational model that analyses situational driver behaviour and proposes real-time countermeasures to minimise fatalities/casualties. We develop and evaluate a novel Intelligent Transport System that assesses and acts upon drivers' risks. This multidisciplinary project integrates recent models of data mining, context-awareness computing, physiological metrics, ubiquitous computing, driver distraction models, risk perception and road safety. This project yields a new understanding of driver behaviour and countermeasures in risk situations.Read moreRead less
Smart comparison and assessment of prediction models for better health using next generation data mining. Prediction models can be used to provide early warning of events, such as adverse medical outcomes. This project will develop principles for the smart management of large collections of prediction models using data mining, enabling more timely medical interventions for Australians to live healthier and longer.
Continuous process improvement through workstation feedback for General Practice medicine using experts-in-the-loop data mining. This project investigates the iterative use of data mining results to allow experts to construct feedback to influence subsequent production work. We explore the problem in the context of General Practice medicine by having General Practitioners (GPs) review emerging patterns from their own practice's electronic medical records and author feedback to discourage undesi ....Continuous process improvement through workstation feedback for General Practice medicine using experts-in-the-loop data mining. This project investigates the iterative use of data mining results to allow experts to construct feedback to influence subsequent production work. We explore the problem in the context of General Practice medicine by having General Practitioners (GPs) review emerging patterns from their own practice's electronic medical records and author feedback to discourage undesirable patterns. The work will have immediate applicability to medical practice and will drive innovation in data mining method, notably for efficient identification of temporal and complex niche patterns. More broadly, the work will extend the way data mining is used to create new expectations of workstation behaviour.Read moreRead less
Managing private location data in a mobile and networked world: getting the balance right. Location based data are transforming the mobile service industry and this project will develop novel approaches to safeguard the location privacy of mobile individuals. This will facilitate the development of privacy-aware services which can be used for real time traffic monitoring, care for the elderly and smartphone enabled location services.
Implementing Bioinformatics Algorithms using .NET-based Stored Procedures in a Database Cluster. We will create the technology for significantly improving the management, processing and sharing of biological data. Areas in which Australia has a large stake, including the development of new drugs, disease research, and agricultural genetic engineering, stand to benefit considerably from these advances. This contribution by Australian researchers to a global problem will have a positive impact on ....Implementing Bioinformatics Algorithms using .NET-based Stored Procedures in a Database Cluster.

The recent advances in wireless technologies are offering new opportunities for ubiquitous information access in on-board mobile computing. Realising an effective on-board mobile computing infrastructure poses significant technical challenges at both application and data transport layers. Our approach features the integration of techniques from satellite communications, anticipatory transport protocols, and personalised data management systems. The final outcome will be generic techniques and concepts for effective and efficient on-board access to global information sources and services (e.g., weather information, stock quotes, and infotainment). These concepts and techniques will have wider application scope, such as aeronautical, maritime and terrestrial public transport systems.Read moreRead less
