Summary
Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services. Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which i ....Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services. Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which is the main focus of this network. The CIs will collaborate in several ways, ranging from basic research to applications, to enable the creation and maintenance of highly dependable computer systems and networked applications.

On effectively modelling and efficiently discovering communities from large networks. Finding and maintaining close communities from very large scale, dynamically changing networks is interesting and challenging. This project aims to develop new techniques to identify such communities as fast as possible through exploiting the rich semantics and individual relationships within the communities.
Efficient and Effective Interactive Visualization of Large Graphical Information Spaces. The expected outcome will change ways of interacting with and thinking about information processing for all information systems. As Australian companies became larger and more global, the ability to view and analyse the growing amount of company information becomes crucial to aspects as varied as trouble shooting or new ventures and eventually to the very viability of the organization itself. The expected ou ....Efficient and Effective Interactive Visualization of Large Graphical Information Spaces. The expected outcome will change ways of interacting with and thinking about information processing for all information systems. As Australian companies became larger and more global, the ability to view and analyse the growing amount of company information becomes crucial to aspects as varied as trouble shooting or new ventures and eventually to the very viability of the organization itself. The expected outcome will enhance this ability by providing an optimised global view and an effective navigation scheme of large graphical information spaces. This will attract leading international IT companies to use it for developing cutting-age tools, and will enhance significantly the capacity and international standing of Australian IT industry.Read moreRead less
