This project aims to develop a novel stream data classification model to handle the challenges in the era of 5G networks, such as the scope of the stream data, the complexity of their relationship, the diversity of contained information and the incorrect readings of numerous sensors. The project addresses a significant knowledge gap by exploring and modelling the stronger correlation between data instances in the streams. The outcome is a system that is highly efficient, accurate and corrupted-data-tolerant classification solutions for individual stream data as well as multiple stream data. The expected benefits will be far-ranging and adaptable to many domains, such as smart home, medical and healthcare, transportation and manufacturing. Read moreRead less

Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points ....Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points of interest rather than directly seeking trips from others to set destinations. It also aims to introduce privacy-aware dynamic matching of sharers, and expand to transportation at large, to generate new shared transportation services. The expected outcome of this project is to elevate today's taxi-like ride-sharing services to true ride-sharing arrangements. This is expected to provide benefits such as reduced traffic and emissions, as well as addressing parking issues and other traffic problems.Read moreRead less

Developing Adversary-Aware Classifiers for Android Malware Detection. Smartphones have become increasingly ubiquitous in people’s everyday life.

Smartphones have become increasingly ubiquitous in people’s everyday life. However, it was reported that one in every five Android applications were actually malware, considering that Android has taken 88% market share of mobile phones. As an effective technique, machine learning has been widely adopted to detect Android malware. However, recent work suggests that deliberately-crafted malware makes machine learning ineffective. In this project, we propose to develop a series of new techniques, such as 1) Android contextual analysis, 2) wrapper-based hill climbing algorithm, and 3) ensemble learning, to solve this problem. The outcomes will help Australia gain cutting edge technologies in adversarial machine learning and mobile security.Read moreRead less
