Cloud scheduling and management of energy systems with real-time support. This project aims to research cloud scheduling and management of modern energy systems with real-time communication support. The approach consists of optimisation with balanced benefits for customers, aggregators and network service providers for modern energy systems; real-time communication support for unified energy scheduling and management over many microgrids; and cloud energy scheduling and management with deadline ....Cloud scheduling and management of energy systems with real-time support. This project aims to research cloud scheduling and management of modern energy systems with real-time communication support. The approach consists of optimisation with balanced benefits for customers, aggregators and network service providers for modern energy systems; real-time communication support for unified energy scheduling and management over many microgrids; and cloud energy scheduling and management with deadline guarantee. This project is expected to facilitate increasing deployment of disruptive energy technologies on a massive scale, create opportunities for energy industries, and maintain Australia’s leading position in renewable energy.Read moreRead less
Active Management of Complex Non-self-finalising Behaviours through Deep Analytics. This project aims to build theoretical breakthroughs and novel tools for deep analytics and active management of non-self-finalising (NSF) individual and business behaviours, which are sophisticated and increasingly seen in public sectors such as taxation and business including banking and insurance. The challenging economic environment continues to make managing NSF behaviours difficult. To date, there are no su ....Active Management of Complex Non-self-finalising Behaviours through Deep Analytics. This project aims to build theoretical breakthroughs and novel tools for deep analytics and active management of non-self-finalising (NSF) individual and business behaviours, which are sophisticated and increasingly seen in public sectors such as taxation and business including banking and insurance. The challenging economic environment continues to make managing NSF behaviours difficult. To date, there are no sufficient theories or effective systems in data mining and behavioural science to systematically learn the intent, impact and patterns of NSF behaviours, and to suggest cost-effective responses to these behaviours. This project aims to ensure Australia’s leading role in innovation for evidence-driven enterprise behaviour analytics and management.Read moreRead less
Detecting significant changes in organisation-customer interactions leading to non-compliance. The instant detection of risky customer and/or group dynamics and business policy and/or process changes dispersed in normal interactions can avoid immense losses and inconsistent policies for Government and industries, such as preventing Centrelink customer debt. This project will deliver novel analytical techniques and smart information use to effectively detect the above-mentioned changes leading to ....Detecting significant changes in organisation-customer interactions leading to non-compliance. The instant detection of risky customer and/or group dynamics and business policy and/or process changes dispersed in normal interactions can avoid immense losses and inconsistent policies for Government and industries, such as preventing Centrelink customer debt. This project will deliver novel analytical techniques and smart information use to effectively detect the above-mentioned changes leading to non-compliance. It will enhance service quality, compliance, payment accuracy and policy design for the Australian Government and industries such as Centrelink, the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA), banking and insurance. The resulting systems, the researchers trained and resulting publications will significantly enhance Australia's leading role in tackling change-driven non-compliance.Read moreRead less
Modelling and discovering complex interaction relations hidden in group behaviours in businesses, online and social communities. This project addresses the shortage in current behavior analysis by inventing innovative theories and algorithms for analysing complex relations and interactions in group behaviours. The outcomes of this project will enable effective detection of suspicious large groups, contributing to safer businesses and society and improved compliance in online and social communiti ....Modelling and discovering complex interaction relations hidden in group behaviours in businesses, online and social communities.

Enhancing and supporting deliberations within multidisciplinary decision teams. A group’s knowledge and reasoning processes are rarely conducted or recorded systematically; a problem particularly pressing for medical decisions made by multidisciplinary teams. This project will perform the first integration of knowledge management principles with group reasoning process models to create an online environment for enhancing the quality of group decisions and their documentation. The online environm ....Enhancing and supporting deliberations within multidisciplinary decision teams. A group’s knowledge and reasoning processes are rarely conducted or recorded systematically; a problem particularly pressing for medical decisions made by multidisciplinary teams. This project will perform the first integration of knowledge management principles with group reasoning process models to create an online environment for enhancing the quality of group decisions and their documentation. The online environment will help medical teams use documented and non-documented knowledge when more than one medical condition is present and no formal guidelines are applicable. The project advances theories of knowledge in groups and is extendable to any deliberations on complex problems.Read moreRead less
Reshaping superannuation practice in Australia using big data analytics. This project aims to reform superannuation investment practices in Australia. Using sophisticated data analytics and machine-learning techniques, combined with economic modelling and quantitative finance.

This project aims to reform superannuation investment practices in Australia. Using sophisticated data analytics and machine-learning techniques, combined with economic modelling and quantitative finance. The project will try to understand the broad characteristics of Australian superannuation investors and their practice from a ‘big data’ perspective. The expected outcomes of this project are the identification of key determinants for successful superannuation behaviour to inform decision-making for better superannuation practices and policies. It is expected that the insights arising from this project will contribute to safeguarding the future of Australia’s superannuation schemes, and to better financial security at retirement.Read moreRead less
Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, ....Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, becomes a critical issue in the operation and management of such systems. The proposed framework explores ways to integrate new technology into existing systems, focusing on new methods of energy management with interactions with millions of devices and storage units, and real-time communications to devices.Read moreRead less
