Learning Software Security Analysers with Imperfect Data. This project aims to systematically investigate next-generation learning-based software security analysis to detect vulnerabilities in real-world large-scale software. The expected learning-based foundation will support the handling of imperfect data in order to provide a precise, scalable and adaptive security analysis of the critical software components, thus capturing important security vulnerabilities missed by existing approaches.

This project aims to systematically investigate next-generation learning-based software security analysis to detect vulnerabilities in real-world large-scale software. The expected learning-based foundation will support the handling of imperfect data in order to provide a precise, scalable and adaptive security analysis of the critical software components, thus capturing important security vulnerabilities missed by existing approaches. The success of this project will further enhance the international competitiveness of Australian research in this important field and will benefit any Australian industry and business where software systems are deeply-rooted, such as transportation, smart homes, medical devices, defence and finance.Read moreRead less

Funder
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation
Summary
Objectives: 1. Develop a fisheries software register through which fisheries scientists can advertise the existence of, or the need for, a particular computer program
Objectives: 1. To develop a software program (called Abalone Management System) for use by Australian abalone farm managers to monitor all animals and events on a farm.
The Development Of SAFS, FishNames, FRDC, FishFiles And Seafood Standards Websites And Web Database
Funder
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation
Funding Amount
$1,009,770.00
Summary
To get around the above issue the majority of the data (content) should be consolidated in one database. This will provide considerable savings in management, and allow for far greater integration in how the data is translated into communication products. The external sites for which the FRDC has acquired responsibility are located outside on a number of disparate hosting services on different systems. Maintenance and management of these sites remains costly and fragmented.

The external sites for which the FRDC has acquired responsibility are located outside on a number of disparate hosting services on different systems. Maintenance and management of these sites remains costly and fragmented.
Objectives: 1. Create a single, scalable, trusted source of truth: an authoritative source of data and rich information base for the fisheries and aquaculture in Australia. 2. The systems allow for collection (input) of data from external parties and sharing (output) of the information in different formats including aggregated data for use in communication products. 3. Enhance the web system to allow for greater use and integration of data across the sites Read moreRead less
Industry is obliged to have Food Safety Programs. The "diary" will be a proactive tool to cushion the demand for extensive documentation. Many members of the harvest, retail and wholesale sectors of the industry have not been accustomed in working with so much documentation. There is a need for the FSP to be practical and workable. A customised diary with daily pages demanding the operators to fill in records that support their FSP will make their respective tasks easier.

Many members of the harvest, retail and wholesale sectors of the industry have not been accustomed in working with so much documentation. There is a need for the FSP to be practical and workable. A customised diary with daily pages demanding the operators to fill in records that support their FSP will make their respective tasks easier. Objectives: 1. Research and compile the specific needs for inclusion in this industry "dairy". This will be collected from research involving industry (catching and post-harvest sectors) including stakeholders such as Environmental Health Officers and appropriate authorities. 2. Research and create a visual reference list of similarly designed diaries in other states and/or international examples of what constitutes the best visual presentation of such information (ie design outlay and size(s) of fonts and icons). 3. To develop the design, information and visual appropriateness of the content of outlay of proposed diary. Read moreRead less
In order for the industry to evaluate its performance in workplace accidents an industry driven system is required. The only available data at the moment is gained from fatalities and hearsay and it is extremely difficult to address areas of concern using this data. The industry must have its own reliable data to ensure appropriate insurance premium rates are established and the performance monitored by insurers is accurate.

The only available data at the moment is gained from fatalities and hearsay and it is extremely difficult to address areas of concern using this data. The industry must have its own reliable data to ensure appropriate insurance premium rates are established and the performance monitored by insurers is accurate.
In order for industry to establish priority areas, the collection of information is essential and presently none of the methods available meet industry requirements. This makes it impossible to monitor the performance of the industry due to the lack of useful data and doesn’t allow the industry to target areas with application to training courses and safety awareness sessions.
Objectives: 1. Design and test a standard accident reporting system 2. Design and test a software system for data inputs and reports 3. Develop a mechanism for ensuring industry is trained in the use of the reporting process Read moreRead less
Improving Modern Programming Language Performance: A Memory-Conscious Approach. The performance of modern programming languages such as Java and C# lags that of imperative languages such as C and Fortran.

The performance of modern programming languages such as Java and C# lags that of imperative languages such as C and Fortran. A significant source of the performance gap is poor memory behavior, which future computer architectures will exacerbate. This project addresses the problem of poor memory behavior in modern programming languages such as Java and C# through an integrated attack that incorporates new garbage collection algorithms, run-time techniques that optimize running programs, and new compiler analyses with both static and dynamic optimizations. The project will give Australia an
international presence in a research area of great academic and commercial importance.

Micro Virtual Machines: Abstraction, contained. This project will address a systemic source of inefficiency in widely used software which leads to many programs running as much as ten times slower and using considerably more energy than necessary, shortening battery life on mobile phones and increasing costs for large server farms. This inefficiency is endemic because it is due to the underlying languages rather than the particular software. This project will address this problem by developing a ....Micro Virtual Machines: Abstraction, contained. This project will address a systemic source of inefficiency in widely used software which leads to many programs running as much as ten times slower and using considerably more energy than necessary, shortening battery life on mobile phones and increasing costs for large server farms. This inefficiency is endemic because it is due to the underlying languages rather than the particular software. This project will address this problem by developing a high efficiency substrate, called a micro virtual machine, on which languages may be built.Read moreRead less

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
