Service Ecosystems Management for Collaborative Process Improvement. Australian government agencies currently explore opportunities for streamlining their business processes. A promising approach relates to the improvement of cross-agency processes based on service-enabled technologies. This project will use requirements within Queensland Government for the design of a service ecosystem and methodological and management concepts to derive a general framework for intra-organisational ecosystems. ....Service Ecosystems Management for Collaborative Process Improvement. Australian government agencies currently explore opportunities for streamlining their business processes. A promising approach relates to the improvement of cross-agency processes based on service-enabled technologies. This project will use requirements within Queensland Government for the design of a service ecosystem and methodological and management concepts to derive a general framework for intra-organisational ecosystems. Though the focus will be on government processes, the project will generalise beyond this scope for a wider uptake of service ecosystems in Australian organisations. This will lead to reduced process costs and risks and will leverage the exploration of new revenue streams, e.g. shared services and reward schemes.Read moreRead less

This research project will build new methods for adopting and deploying emerging Intelligent Agent and Semantic Web technologies for the purpose of enabling and sustaining innovation. Intelligent Agents and the Semantic Web are frontier technologies that facilitate information sharing and knowledge integration from multiple resources, and empower complex information systems for independent action in open unpredictable environments such as a competitive global marketplace. We apply our methods in the Wholesale Financial Services Industry. Hence, the project supports both the ARC designated priority area, Frontier Technologies, and a National Priority to establish Australia as a financial services centre in the Asia Pacific Region.Read moreRead less
BigPrivacy: Scaling privacy preservation for big data applications on cloud. This project aims to research scalable privacy preservation for big data applications on cloud. Privacy preservation is a major concern for big data applications on cloud, such as health data analysis where user privacy must be preserved. Scalable solutions can preserve privacy so that data analysis such as health diagnosis can be performed quickly. The expected deliverable is a unified scalable privacy preservation fra ....BigPrivacy: Scaling privacy preservation for big data applications on cloud.

Next generation real-time trajectory mining for travel and transportation decision support. Mining human and vehicle trajectories in real time will enable a suite of next-generation applications such as traffic overload prediction, real-time event detection and route recommendation. This project will develop novel techniques for immediate mining of massive volumes of trajectory data as it is being continuously generated.
Unlocking benefits from digital investments. This project aims to address one of the most vexing questions in the management of information systems: how to unlock the value of digital investments. The project expects to develop new theory and evidence on how to achieve meaningful use of information systems at multiple levels of analysis. The project will especially benefit the health sector, and society, by helping health providers and vendors to maximise the value obtained from substantial inve ....Unlocking benefits from digital investments. This project aims to address one of the most vexing questions in the management of information systems: how to unlock the value of digital investments. The project expects to develop new theory and evidence on how to achieve meaningful use of information systems at multiple levels of analysis. The project will especially benefit the health sector, and society, by helping health providers and vendors to maximise the value obtained from substantial investment in digital technologies, and by developing evidence-based policies to optimise digital service delivery.Read moreRead less
