Defending AI based FinTech Systems against Model Extraction Attacks. This project aims to develop new methods for defending artificial intelligence (AI) based FinTech systems from highly potent and insidious model extraction attacks whereby an adversary can steal the AI model from the system to cause intellectual property (IP) violation, business advantage disruption, and financial loss. This can be achieved by examining various attack models, creating active and utility-preserving defences, and ....Defending AI based FinTech Systems against Model Extraction Attacks. This project aims to develop new methods for defending artificial intelligence (AI) based FinTech systems from highly potent and insidious model extraction attacks whereby an adversary can steal the AI model from the system to cause intellectual property (IP) violation, business advantage disruption, and financial loss. This can be achieved by examining various attack models, creating active and utility-preserving defences, and inventing non-removable watermarks on AI models. The outcomes are new tools for securing AI-based FinTech systems before deployment and tools for IP violation forensics post-deployment. Such capabilities are beneficial by improving the security and safety of FinTech systems and other nationally critical AI systems.Read moreRead less
Facilitating business process standardisation and reuse. One of the most pressing management challenges of today's organisations lies in the reuse and standardisation of best practices across different sectors, products or units. This project will develop an innovative open-source software platform and governance structure to efficiently and effectively support best practice standardisation and reuse.
Software mediated process assessment in IT service management: development and evaluation of standards-based tools to facilitate continual improvement. Improvements in information technology (IT) services will benefit the Australian business community as organisations today are almost totally dependent on IT to survive. The implementation of IT service management standards reduces IT downtime as well as improving IT service quality and customer satisfaction. Private and public sector organisatio ....Software mediated process assessment in IT service management: development and evaluation of standards-based tools to facilitate continual improvement. Improvements in information technology (IT) services will benefit the Australian business community as organisations today are almost totally dependent on IT to survive. The implementation of IT service management standards reduces IT downtime as well as improving IT service quality and customer satisfaction. Private and public sector organisations will benefit as the developed tool will enable self-assessment of capability in line with international standards. In addition, the project will validate and transition emerging standards into industry, placing Australia at the forefront of adoption and use. Results will be fed back to the international standards community further enhancing Australia's reputation as a leader in IT standards development.Read moreRead less
Information Systems (IS)-Impact utility and intuitiveness: a rigorous approach to relevance. This study aims to evaluate the key elements of models used in design science to assess the impact of information systems. The work will examine the extent to which rigour and relevance are incorporated into these models.
Understanding the impact of enterprise system use on system performance. To optimise organizational benefits, resource intensive enterprise systems must be appropriately used by all user cohorts. This study investigates the impact of system-use on system success. System-use patterns derived for all key user cohorts across the lifecycle phases will create management matrices to assist organizations maximise system-use.
Learning human activities through low cost, unobtrusive RFID technology. A rapidly growing aged population presents many challenges to Australia's health and aged care services. The outcomes of this project will help aging Australians live in their own homes longer, with greater independence and safety by providing an automated, unobtrusive means for health professionals to monitor activity and intervene as required.
Improved Businesss Decision-Making via Liquid Process Model Collections. This project aims to develop an innovative approach to create and update as necessary the large collection of business process models that represent a complex organisation, so that this collection captures the actual way in which the organisation performs its business processes. Deploying theoretical, conceptual and empirical research, this project aims to capitalise on the value hidden in large process data, as recorded in ....Improved Businesss Decision-Making via Liquid Process Model Collections. This project aims to develop an innovative approach to create and update as necessary the large collection of business process models that represent a complex organisation, so that this collection captures the actual way in which the organisation performs its business processes. Deploying theoretical, conceptual and empirical research, this project aims to capitalise on the value hidden in large process data, as recorded in event logs. The approach is intended to be implemented in an open-source technology to facilitate advanced investigations and predictions that can ultimately lead to better strategic decision-making. This technology also has the potential to become a research-enabling tool for the large research community in business process management.Read moreRead less

The RNSA will facilitate a knowledge-sharing network for research organisations, government and the private sector to develop research tools and methods to mitigate emerging safety and security issues relating to critical infrastructure. World-leaders with extensive national and international linkages in relevant scientific, engineering and technological research will lead this collaboration. The RNSA will launch various activities to foster research collaboration and nurture young investigators.Read moreRead less
Opinion Analysis on Objects in Social Networks. This project seeks to provide a new integrated interactive data mining approach to analysing opinions on social networks, enabling organisations and individuals to make informed decisions based on qualitative as well as quantitative analysis.

This project seeks to provide a new integrated interactive data mining approach to analysing opinions on social networks, enabling organisations and individuals to make informed decisions based on qualitative as well as quantitative analysis. Social networks are fast becoming an important platform for understanding social opinions about events, organisations, products or services. Through an interactive analysis of social opinion, people can make better decisions. An ‘object’ in social networks refers to anything people talk about. This project aims to design and implement new social media mining algorithms to analyse the opinions that people express about such objects in terms of who, what, when and where.Read moreRead less
