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

An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration ....An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration problems faced by current industries. The development of a reliable and flexible infrastructure will benefit small and medium-scale enterprises, as they will be able to participate in large-scale supply chains and expand their business, without having to invest in expensive new computer systems and software.Read moreRead less
Designing an Efficient and Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile Web Services. Mobile services (M-Services) are rapidly growing due to enormous proliferation of web services and of the wireless networks. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet as well as the specific requirements of mobile environments, existing M-services have limitations as they lack support for flexible transactions. The aim of this project is to design an efficient mobile transaction-based infrastructure to ....Designing an Efficient and Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile Web Services. Mobile services (M-Services) are rapidly growing due to enormous proliferation of web services and of the wireless networks. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet as well as the specific requirements of mobile environments, existing M-services have limitations as they lack support for flexible transactions. The aim of this project is to design an efficient mobile transaction-based infrastructure to support highly adaptable M-Services. This infrastructure will provide robust and efficient management of business transactions across different enterprises. The outcomes of this project will include a set of advanced techniques and algorithms that will form the basis of the next generation of mobile web services.Read moreRead less
Designing a Scalable and Robust Infrastructure for Highly Dynamic Web Services. Web services are modular Internet-based applications that communicate with one another over the Internet. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet, existing web services have profound limitations as they lack the support of semantic-based service discovery and dynamic service composition. This project aims at designing a robust and scalable infrastructure to support highly dynamic web services. Thi ....Designing a Scalable and Robust Infrastructure for Highly Dynamic Web Services. Web services are modular Internet-based applications that communicate with one another over the Internet. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet, existing web services have profound limitations as they lack the support of semantic-based service discovery and dynamic service composition. This project aims at designing a robust and scalable infrastructure to support highly dynamic web services. This infrastructure will provide an adaptive e-business platform enabling optimal integration of enterprise' complex business processes across external systems and third party applications. The outcomes will be a set of advanced techniques and algorithms that will form the basis of the next generation of e-business solutions.Read moreRead less
A data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering. This project aims to design and develop a data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering that allows system engineers and domain experts in different domains to build software systems easily in order to enable fast technology transfer within and across domain boundaries. This model integrates and automates a suite of efficient approaches for system structure determination, validation and recommendation based on keyword ....A data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering. This project aims to design and develop a data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering that allows system engineers and domain experts in different domains to build software systems easily in order to enable fast technology transfer within and across domain boundaries. This model integrates and automates a suite of efficient approaches for system structure determination, validation and recommendation based on keyword search, subgraph isomorphism and substructure query techniques. This project is expected to significantly accelerate the application of new technologies, for example, big data analytics and Internet of Things, in many of Australia's critical domains such as e-Health, smart cities, and cybersecurity.Read moreRead less

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
Developing an effective defence to cyber-reputation manipulation attacks. This project will develop new technologies for businesses to accurately identify fake internet reviews.

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
