Next-generation spatial keyword search. Spatial keyword search is like a normal web search plus additional location information, which helps users to obtain a better ranking of results by considering the spatial proximity. The success of this project will deliver a next-generation spatial keyword search system that overcomes the severe usability limitations experienced by users today.
Secure and efficient data leak prevention on cloud. The leak of sensitive data on cloud not only poses serious threats to both public and private organisations but also puts their employees and clients at risk, e.g., economic loss and social impact. The aim of this project is to develop a secure and efficient solution that can detect and prevent leak of data in real-time. Uniquely, the proposed research will develop novel techniques that can monitor data leak security incidents happening over ti ....Secure and efficient data leak prevention on cloud. The leak of sensitive data on cloud not only poses serious threats to both public and private organisations but also puts their employees and clients at risk, e.g., economic loss and social impact. The aim of this project is to develop a secure and efficient solution that can detect and prevent leak of data in real-time. Uniquely, the proposed research will develop novel techniques that can monitor data leak security incidents happening over time and captured by different sensors and identify correlations between historic security incidents and current data attacks. This project will significantly help to secure data on cloud for organisations in Australia and benefit fast-growing security sensitive data hosting and applications on cloud.Read moreRead less
Developing an effective defence to cyber-reputation manipulation attacks. This project will develop new technologies for businesses to accurately identify fake internet reviews. Fake reviews, paid for and/or written with malicious intent, can cause irreparable damage to businesses resulting in revenue loss, consumer dissatisfaction or even closure of businesses.

This project will develop new technologies for businesses to accurately identify fake internet reviews. Fake reviews, paid for and/or written with malicious intent, can cause irreparable damage to businesses resulting in revenue loss, consumer dissatisfaction or even closure of businesses. However they are difficult to identify, as they continuously evolve to avoid detection and the volume of Internet reviews makes analysis a monumental task. This project will provide advanced tools to detect fake website reviews and a cybersecurity system prototype ready to be used by industry, making Australia a leader in this field and resulting in a safer internet environment for all.Read moreRead less

Summary
Australian e-Astronomy. An explosion in the rate of data acquisition in disciplines such as astronomy will require new database structures and management systems. Scientists require fast access and analysis of data from many different telescopes, instruments and theoretical modelling packages. The new directions being explored internationally are based on datagrids, where individual nodes house the physical data archives and expertise, but are networked into a unified system, providing open a ....Australian e-Astronomy. An explosion in the rate of data acquisition in disciplines such as astronomy will require new database structures and management systems. Scientists require fast access and analysis of data from many different telescopes, instruments and theoretical modelling packages. The new directions being explored internationally are based on datagrids, where individual nodes house the physical data archives and expertise, but are networked into a unified system, providing open access to all astronomers. Australian e-Astronomy will provide Phase 1 of a project to develop an astronomy datagrid in Australia, linking to the powerful programs which have just commenced in Europe, UK and the USA.Read moreRead less
