This project will develop new technologies for businesses to accurately identify fake internet reviews. Fake reviews, paid for and/or written with malicious intent, can cause irreparable damage to businesses resulting in revenue loss, consumer dissatisfaction or even closure of businesses. However they are difficult to identify, as they continuously evolve to avoid detection and the volume of Internet reviews makes analysis a monumental task. This project will provide advanced tools to detect fake website reviews and a cybersecurity system prototype ready to be used by industry, making Australia a leader in this field and resulting in a safer internet environment for all.Read moreRead less
Reputation-based Trust Framework for Composed Services. This project aims at providing a uniform and efficient framework for bootstrapping, establishing, and propagating reputation in composed Web services. Reputation is used as a key criterion for establishing trust among composed Web services. Web services are de-facto the technology of choice for the deployment of an increasing number of Web-based solutions for such emerging applications as cloud computing. Because of the distributed and dece ....Reputation-based Trust Framework for Composed Services. This project aims at providing a uniform and efficient framework for bootstrapping, establishing, and propagating reputation in composed Web services. Reputation is used as a key criterion for establishing trust among composed Web services. Web services are de-facto the technology of choice for the deployment of an increasing number of Web-based solutions for such emerging applications as cloud computing. Because of the distributed and decentralised nature of the Web, there is a need to establish a trust framework for selecting and composing Web services. The key parameter will be based on Web service reputation in delivering services.Read moreRead less
Contextual Behabiour Predictions in Dynamic Mobile E-commerce. The project aims to address behaviour prediction and develop novel techniques and tools for modelling, predicting human behaviours and making effective recommendations based on ubiquitous user behaviour data in mobile e-commerce. The techniques enable multi-source data fusion, context learning and model adaptation, and dynamic recommendation with interpretability ability. Expected outcomes include advances in data analytics theory an ....Contextual Behabiour Predictions in Dynamic Mobile E-commerce. The project aims to address behaviour prediction and develop novel techniques and tools for modelling, predicting human behaviours and making effective recommendations based on ubiquitous user behaviour data in mobile e-commerce. The techniques enable multi-source data fusion, context learning and model adaptation, and dynamic recommendation with interpretability ability. Expected outcomes include advances in data analytics theory and informed decision-making. This provides significant benefits of not only placing Australia in the forefront of exploiting multimodal user behaviour big data in dynamic e-commerce but also transforming Australian government and businesses to intelligent and contextual services adaptive to complex situations.Read moreRead less
Leveraging open innovation: software and processes for engaging with online communities. The research could help transform the ability of Australian industry to design software systems and processes that (i) engage with online communities to create and enhance organizational knowledge, (ii) accelerate innovation processes, and (iii) exploit existing intellectual property (IP).
Long-term Cloud Service Composition. This project proposes an economic model-based framework for the selection and composition of cloud services, thus creating an efficient market for cloud consumers and providers. The project will use economic models that incorporate a range of quality of service (QoS) parameters as a key driver for optimising the selection of cloud services and the acceptance of consumer requests. The main outcomes of this project aim to increase efficiencies in the cloud mark ....Long-term Cloud Service Composition.
