The first benefit of the project will be the of development a new technology that will improve the data quality in Australian organizations using the rapidly growing Extensible Markup Language (XML) technology. It will also be of benefit to the Australian software industry, since the outcome of the project is a software tool for cleaning XML data that is aimed at eventual commercialisation in a quickly growing area of the software market. The project will also boost international research collaboration through the involvement of an overseas partner investigator, and expand Australia's expertise in the new area of XML technology through the training of a Ph.D. student.Read moreRead less
Normalizing XML Documents. Our work will be of great benefit, both to the research community and to the ICT industry. The project addresses one of the most important problems in XML usage and we expect our results to be published in important international forums, as has our preliminary research on the topic. This will significantly improve Australia's reputation in research in the ICT area. In the longer term, we intend to build commercial software tools based on the results of our research ....Normalizing XML Documents.

Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools ....Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools for effectively and proactively discovering and recommending things. The result of this project may underpin applications (eg smart cities) that will contribute to Australian society and the national economy.Read moreRead less
Context and Activity Recognition for Personalised Behaviour Recommendation. The Internet of Things (IoT) together with the rising popularity of smartphones opens a new world for many exciting opportunities. The overall goal of this project is to develop new algorithms and data analytical techniques in an IoT environment that can accurately monitor and analyse personalised daily activities on a continuous, real-time basis.

The Internet of Things (IoT) together with the rising popularity of smartphones opens a new world for many exciting opportunities. The overall goal of this project is to develop new algorithms and data analytical techniques in an IoT environment that can accurately monitor and analyse personalised daily activities on a continuous, real-time basis. The expected result of this project will support many critical applications such as better wellness tracking and lifestyle-related illness prevention, which will be particularly critical to Australia's aging population. This project will also serve as a vehicle to educate and train Australia’s young scholars and engineers.Read moreRead less
Overcoming Resistance to the Introduction of a Health Informatics System in General Practice Medicine. This project takes as its starting point the investigation of why medical practitioners in a rural community have been resistant to adopt a community based health information system designed to routinely collect, analyse and disseminate information regarding patient treatment.

This project takes as its starting point the investigation of why medical practitioners in a rural community have been resistant to adopt a community based health information system designed to routinely collect, analyse and disseminate information regarding patient treatment. The project seeks to identify the deeper reasons for the resistance through analysis of the broader context of information systems in General Practice Medicine, with particular attention to the way Government health informatics initiatives fit with professional and practical priorities. The project will develop guidelines for acceptability of systems in this context and contribute to the broader knowledge management literature.Read moreRead less
Efficient Management of Things for the Future World Wide Web. The future World Wide Web will connect billions of physical objects, which will offer exciting capabilities to change the world and improve the quality of human lives, just as what the Web has done in the past 20 years.

The future World Wide Web will connect billions of physical objects, which will offer exciting capabilities to change the world and improve the quality of human lives, just as what the Web has done in the past 20 years. Effectively and efficiently managing things is one inevitable challenge in this new era and is much more complicated than managing traditional Web documents. This project aims to focus on this key problem and develop novel techniques for linking resource-constrained things to the Web, searching them using a new search engine, as well as discovering latent relationships among things for advanced management tasks such as things recommendation and composition.Read moreRead less

This project investigates the iterative use of data mining results to allow experts to construct feedback to influence subsequent production work. We explore the problem in the context of General Practice medicine by having General Practitioners (GPs) review emerging patterns from their own practice's electronic medical records and author feedback to discourage undesirable patterns. The work will have immediate applicability to medical practice and will drive innovation in data mining method, notably for efficient identification of temporal and complex niche patterns. More broadly, the work will extend the way data mining is used to create new expectations of workstation behaviour.Read moreRead less
