This project aims to develop innovative models/algorithms to manage Internet of Things (IoT) data safely and reliably. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of classified information governance using innovative data collection, transmission and analysis techniques that overcome the security concerns in large-scale collaborative sensing. Expected outcomes include novel abstract interfaces for IoT, adaptive trust and integrity preserving methods, and reliable distributed data processing mechanisms to mitigate vulnerabilities in real-time IoT-enabled critical surveillance. This should provide significant benefits to Australia's economy, one of which is the enhanced consumer-centric adoption of IoT for sensitive operations.Read moreRead less
Tools, methodologies and reasoning support for developing companion-toy modules. This project investigates building of modules for an intelligent Toy which can be customised and adapted over time by add-on modules. Intelligent interactive toys are growing in popularity, and the ability for such a toy to develop over a prolonged lifetime, is both a sound business idea and a mechanism for extending the useful life of the Toy.
Preventing Exfiltration of Sensitive Data by Malicious Insiders or Malwares. Data exfiltration is a serious threat as highlighted in recent leakage of sensitive data that resulted in huge economic losses as well as unprecedented breaches of national security. The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive and robust solution for detection and prevention of sensitive data exfiltration attempts by malware and unauthorised human users. Expected outcomes include scalable monitoring methods an ....Preventing Exfiltration of Sensitive Data by Malicious Insiders or Malwares. Data exfiltration is a serious threat as highlighted in recent leakage of sensitive data that resulted in huge economic losses as well as unprecedented breaches of national security. The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive and robust solution for detection and prevention of sensitive data exfiltration attempts by malware and unauthorised human users. Expected outcomes include scalable monitoring methods and efficient algorithms that will be able to prevent real-time exfiltration and identify previously undetected exfiltration of sensitive data. This should provide significant benefits to governments, defence networks as well as businesses and health sectors, as it will protect them from sophisticated cyber attacks.

Assistive technologies for autism support harnessing social media. This project aims to tap social media to revolutionize early intervention therapy for children with autism. By creating open, extensible software for therapy delivery, and tools for parents to access high quality information and support, we will provide children a greater chance to achieve their potential and much-needed relief for parents and carers.
A deep survey for compact structure in the nearby universe: key science for the upgraded Australian Long Baseline Array. This project uses advances in ICT to build a national and international network of facilities that includes existing telescopes primarily on the east coast of Australia, as well as planned facilities in Western Australia and New Zealand. One of these facilities, the New Technology Demonstrator, is a crucial part of Australia's roadmap to the Square Kilometre Array.

This project uses advances in ICT to build a national and international network of facilities that includes existing telescopes primarily on the east coast of Australia, as well as planned facilities in Western Australia and New Zealand. One of these facilities, the New Technology Demonstrator, is a crucial part of Australia's roadmap to the Square Kilometre Array. The SKA-related science and technology demonstrations we will undertake as part of this project will contribute to Australia's bid to host this $US1b instrument. This project cements a significant Trans-Tasman collaboration and brings together researchers in astrophysics and ICT to give Australia a leading position in the field of eVLBI.Read moreRead less
Provable elimination of information leakage through timing channels. This project aims to develop techniques to solve the issue in information security of unauthorised information flow resulting from competition for shared hardware resources. The project will combine operating systems design, formal hardware models, information-flow reasoning and theorem proving to achieve a goal that is widely considered infeasible. The project is expected to result in a system that prevents leakage of critical ....Provable elimination of information leakage through timing channels. This project aims to develop techniques to solve the issue in information security of unauthorised information flow resulting from competition for shared hardware resources. The project will combine operating systems design, formal hardware models, information-flow reasoning and theorem proving to achieve a goal that is widely considered infeasible. The project is expected to result in a system that prevents leakage of critical information, such as encryption keys, through timing channels. This should prevent sophisticated attacks on public clouds, mobile devices and military-grade cross-domain devices.Read moreRead less

Growing numbers of children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, leading to a massive financial burden on educational, medical and social service systems. This project aims to construct technological solutions to ease this cost with software frameworks for both children and parents. These novel tools and techniques address key issues: personalisation of early intervention, extension of interventions in alternate contexts, and parental support through analysis of social media. The outcomes aim to include algorithms and prototype applications for flexible early intervention and support for parents and carers, including evaluation of the developed tools in real-world settings.Read moreRead less

Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less
Computational tools to analyse and exploit the social media revolution. We aim to create technologies to analyse social media communities, which are rapidly growing in reach, complexity, and content produced and shared. Powerful techniques to tap this resource will lead to commercial outcomes for marketing and search industries, alongside deeper insight into the cultural and social impact of this Internet revolution.
