In this project innovative IT methods will be developed to assist biologists to solve complex and important biological problems. Many important applications in computational biology need very accurate and reliable tools for multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny reconstruction. Unfortunately, current existing tools are unreliable and are prone to serious errors when applied to large and divergent biological sequences. The success of this project will not only make significant contribution to the relevant research fields, but also help achieve goals in certain real-life biological research projects which are unique and important to Australia.Read moreRead less

Algorithmics for Extremely Mobile Wireless Networks. Existing wireless network protocols need stringent conditions to be effective. These conditions are rarely met for concrete applications such as Defence, Disaster-Relief, Search-and-Rescue. All these cannot rely on existing infrastructure, and often require high mobility. This is crucial in the case of Australia which cannot rely on complete network coverage of its lands and seas. This project will develop new wireless protocols for applicati ....Algorithmics for Extremely Mobile Wireless Networks. Existing wireless network protocols need stringent conditions to be effective.

This is crucial in the case of Australia which cannot rely on complete network coverage of its lands and seas. This project will develop new wireless protocols for applications requiring extreme mobility. It will increase Australia's control of this, now ubiquitous, technology thus rendering Australia a key player in this field.Read moreRead less
Number Theoretic Methods in Cryptography. It is well known that Number Theory, besides its intrinsic beauty, provides many powerful tools for modern Cryptography. The aim of the project is to formulate and solve new and important mathematical problems, which lie in the background of modern cryptography. They are also of independent value for pure mathematics because they very often stimulate new approaches to and new surprising points of view on classical results and methods. The main outcome w ....Number Theoretic Methods in Cryptography. It is well known that Number Theory, besides its intrinsic beauty, provides many powerful tools for modern Cryptography. The aim of the project is to formulate and solve new and important mathematical problems, which lie in the background of modern cryptography. They are also of independent value for pure mathematics because they very often stimulate new approaches to and new surprising points of view on classical results and methods. The main outcome will be advancing our theoretical knowledge about several major cryptosystems. The project will extend and enrich the area of applications of mathematics to cryptography and related areas.Read moreRead less
Mathematics of Cryptography. The Australian economy and society requires fast, reliable, and secure communication. Current first-generation security solutions are not capable of supporting the efficiency and scalability requirements of mass-market adoption of wireless and embedded consumer applications.
