Integration of Object Behavior in Federated Information Systems. Integration of autonomous object-oriented systems requires the integration
of object structure and object behaviour. Research in federated information
systems has so far mainly addressed integration of object structure. This
project will investigate the integration of object behaviour, especially object
life cycles. A major application area is the integration of business processes,
which is typically required when companies me ....Integration of Object Behavior in Federated Information Systems. Integration of autonomous object-oriented systems requires the integration
of object structure and object behaviour. Research in federated information
systems has so far mainly addressed integration of object structure. This
project will investigate the integration of object behaviour, especially object
life cycles. A major application area is the integration of business processes,
which is typically required when companies merge or enter into
consumer-producer relationships and constitutes a key capability for B2B e-commerce
systems. Consistency criteria for behaviour integration
will be defined and applied in a graphical integration tool that guides the
definition of global behavioural views upon autonomous object-oriented systems.

Dynamic Semantic Interoperability for Business Processes. The integration of independently developed applications constitutes
one of the major bottlenecks in modern software development in
business, industry, and defense, in particular for a nation such as
Australia that is highly reliant on overseas trade. Technologies that

one of the major bottlenecks in modern software development in
business, industry, and defense, in particular for a nation such as
Australia that is highly reliant on overseas trade. Technologies that
facilitate the smooth application integration promise significant
savings in software development. By offering automated support task,
this project offers the potential of significant cost savings, highly
beneficial to any industry with a major ICT component. Lessons learned
from the demonstration prototype can be directly carried over into
commercial tool development. The project strengthens links to high
quality European research laboratories.

Development of a Global Decision Support System towards Virtual Manufacturing. The aim of this research project is to develop a global decision support system (GDSS) in order to assist SMEs to improve their competitiveness in the dynamic global market while providing an industry oriented research training for a high calibre PhD student, who would be a valuable asset to Australia. The GDSS will help SMEs leverage their operations in a global context and to adopt a realistic virtual manufacturing ....Development of a Global Decision Support System towards Virtual Manufacturing. The aim of this research project is to develop a global decision support system (GDSS) in order to assist SMEs to improve their competitiveness in the dynamic global market while providing an industry oriented research training for a high calibre PhD student, who would be a valuable asset to Australia. The GDSS will help SMEs leverage their operations in a global context and to adopt a realistic virtual manufacturing system in the future. The significance of the project includes developing a new methodology and a GDSS to assess virtual manufacturing issues for SMEs and assisting them making timely decisions.Read moreRead less
Privacy-Preserving Classification for Big-Data Driven Network Traffic. Protecting sensitive information in large network traffic flows while ensuring data usability for classification emerges as a critical problem of increasing significance. Existing techniques do not work on highly heterogeneous traffic from big-data applications for both privacy protection and classification (such as port-based and load- based methods). This project investigates new theories, methods and techniques for solving ....Privacy-Preserving Classification for Big-Data Driven Network Traffic. Protecting sensitive information in large network traffic flows while ensuring data usability for classification emerges as a critical problem of increasing significance. Existing techniques do not work on highly heterogeneous traffic from big-data applications for both privacy protection and classification (such as port-based and load- based methods). This project investigates new theories, methods and techniques for solving this problem. It proposes to develop a set of effective methods for privacy-preserving data publication through combining randomisation with anonymisation, and for classifying the published data through uncertainty leveraging by probabilistic reasoning and accuracy lifting by inter-flow correlation analysis and active learning.Read moreRead less

Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools ....Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools for effectively and proactively discovering and recommending things. The result of this project may underpin applications (eg smart cities) that will contribute to Australian society and the national economy.Read moreRead less
