Design and Development of a Web-based Intelligent Multimedia Mining System. Increasing amounts of digital multimedia data in the form of video is being captured and stored. However, even the most advanced storage and retrieval techniques lack the features required to be used singly, or in combination, to fulfil a wide range of user needs and rapid access to multimedia resources, even in a very large video database.

Increasing amounts of digital multimedia data in the form of video is being captured and stored. However, even the most advanced storage and retrieval techniques lack the features required to be used singly, or in combination, to fulfil a wide range of user needs and rapid access to multimedia resources, even in a very large video database. The core challenges are indeed to develop efficient, smart and intelligent web-based multimedia mining in Australia and elsewhere. In this project, we will explore techniques and develop algorithms for content-based multimedia retrieval and mining in multimedia databases.Read moreRead less
Integrating Database Technologies and Visual Analysis in Bioinformatics for Genome Data. Solving modern biological problems, especially those involving genome data, requires advanced computational and analytical methods. The huge quantities of data and escalating demands of modern biological research increasingly require the sophistication and power of object-relational database tools.

Solving modern biological problems, especially those involving genome data, requires advanced computational and analytical methods. The huge quantities of data and escalating demands of modern biological research increasingly require the sophistication and power of object-relational database tools. Key techniques include relational data management, pattern recognition, data mining and visualization of biological data. In this project we will develop efficient methodologies and data structures for gathering high-quality approximations of full genomic information, and will use these innovations as the foundation to develop novel, practical tools for clustering and visualization in genomic data mining and database management.

Summary
Infrastructure for large-scale data resource sharing between research institutions – an environmental case study. The project creates a federated distributed data infrastructure for research, that encourages data creators to make their data available to other scientists, and encourages users to make use of data available from many sources. The vision is to establish an ICT infrastructure to facilitate a whole-of-environment approach to environmental research. The outcome is a proof-of-concept ....Infrastructure for large-scale data resource sharing between research institutions – an environmental case study. The project creates a federated distributed data infrastructure for research, that encourages data creators to make their data available to other scientists, and encourages users to make use of data available from many sources. The vision is to establish an ICT infrastructure to facilitate a whole-of-environment approach to environmental research. The outcome is a proof-of-concept application based upon a case study of Queensland Environmental Protection Agency’s databases, to gain an in-depth understanding of the complexity, scope and key technological barriers for establishing an ICT infrastructure, to identify where the latest technologies can be used and where the gaps are for these technologies to be used in environmental sciences.Read moreRead less

Privacy Preserving Data Sharing in Electronic Health Environment. This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare. This project aims to develop ne ....Privacy Preserving Data Sharing in Electronic Health Environment. This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare. This project aims to develop new privacy-preserving algorithms on EHD database federations, which can provide efficient data access yet block inside attacks. It will significantly improve the data available for medical research, while reducing the cost of EHD system management and providing visualised decision supports to medical staff and the government health resource planners.Read moreRead less

Industries require secure information accessing and communication. This project continues development of new delegation frameworks and information assurance requirements in Internet-based collaborative environments. The frameworks will be systematically upon policy-based models to set up a reliable, secure information sharing and communication medium. We also aim to develop techniques for setting up secure group communication and providing accesses to group members for many database systems. The approach leads to a great understanding of advocating selective information sharing in role-based systems. The project develops fundamental enabling methodologies for the information and communication industry.Read moreRead less
