Cost efficient scheduling of big data application workflows on cloud through information correlation. Information correlation in and between big data application workflows scheduled on the cloud can help to significantly reduce overall scheduling costs by avoiding the execution of many correlated workflow activities. This project aims to systematically investigate such correlation for cost efficient scheduling.

Information correlation in and between big data application workflows scheduled on the cloud can help to significantly reduce overall scheduling costs by avoiding the execution of many correlated workflow activities. This project aims to systematically investigate such correlation for cost efficient scheduling. The expected outcomes are: establishing information correlation based scheduling research and practical solutions for this important cloud and big data research area; benefiting key big data application areas on the cloud, such as hospitals, insurance companies and government information services; and helping to maintain Australia at the forefront of cloud and big data research with innovative industry applications.Read moreRead less
Pattern Discovery of Discriminating Behaviour Associated with Hidden Communities. A sound understanding of discriminating behaviour in hidden communities, e.g. market manipulation, is essential for effective intervention and prevention. This project will deliver novel and workable algorithms and tools for modelling and pattern discovery of such behaviour.

A sound understanding of discriminating behaviour in hidden communities, e.g. market manipulation, is essential for effective intervention and prevention. This project will deliver novel and workable algorithms and tools for modelling and pattern discovery of such behaviour. This will safeguard Australia by tackling crucial business and social issues like abnormal trading, online crime and terrorism, thereby enhancing public confidence, compliance and security in both the economy and society, by preventing and reducing economic and social impact. It will create skills and outcomes to further Australia's leadership in managing emerging data mining challenges and applications, and will deepen collaboration with eminent researchers worldwide.Read moreRead less
Escaping the concurrency trade-off: a new approach to enterprise software. Enterprise software manages the operations of all business and government organisations. Designers of this often rely on their intuition or luck, by using high-performance database facilities whose correctness is not guaranteed. This project will show designers how to use these facilities while still having the assurance that the data will not be corrupted. This will improve the quality of the data used by Australian ent ....Escaping the concurrency trade-off: a new approach to enterprise software. Enterprise software manages the operations of all business and government organisations. Designers of this often rely on their intuition or luck, by using high-performance database facilities whose correctness is not guaranteed. This project will show designers how to use these facilities while still having the assurance that the data will not be corrupted. This will improve the quality of the data used by Australian enterprises, and thus improve their operations. Australian software designers will also benefit, as they will be able to produce software that combines high performance with assurance that concurrency errors will not occur.Read moreRead less
Computing with nearly-consistent data. This project will help programmers correctly use data that originates at various times and places, and spreads unevenly through a system. Computation will combine data that comes from different situations, and is not exactly consistent. Capability to develop high quality software on platforms with this feature will enhance the value of the Australian IT industry. As well, the industries which use the software benefit from correctly working with their data. ....Computing with nearly-consistent data. This project will help programmers correctly use data that originates at various times and places, and spreads unevenly through a system. Computation will combine data that comes from different situations, and is not exactly consistent. Capability to develop high quality software on platforms with this feature will enhance the value of the Australian IT industry. As well, the industries which use the software benefit from correctly working with their data. Sensor networks have data like this, and they play a vital role in environmental monitoring. Cloud computing platforms also have this type of data, and these allow smaller enterprises to grow smoothly, without needing large up-front investments in computing infrastructure.Read moreRead less
Implementing Bioinformatics Algorithms using .NET-based Stored Procedures in a Database Cluster. We will create the technology for significantly improving the management, processing and sharing of biological data. Areas in which Australia has a large stake, including the development of new drugs, disease research, and agricultural genetic engineering, stand to benefit considerably from these advances. This contribution by Australian researchers to a global problem will have a positive impact on ....Implementing Bioinformatics Algorithms using .NET-based Stored Procedures in a Database Cluster.

Summary
Predicting health status of geriatric patients from user trusted multimedia observations. The information technology developed in this project will provide health care specialists with a better window into the lives of elderly patients. Their behaviour can then be accurately interpreted, potentially leading to earlier recognition of problems and better treatment.
Enabling User-Centric Wisdom Engines for Big Information Network Search. Big information networks, for example social networks, are important for modern information systems, yet searching for useful information from huge networks is difficult because network structure and user relationships continuously evolve. This project will provide theoretical foundations for structural knowledge mining to enable user-centric wisdom search on big information networks. Expected outcomes are: real-world appli ....Enabling User-Centric Wisdom Engines for Big Information Network Search. Big information networks, for example social networks, are important for modern information systems, yet searching for useful information from huge networks is difficult because network structure and user relationships continuously evolve. This project will provide theoretical foundations for structural knowledge mining to enable user-centric wisdom search on big information networks. Expected outcomes are: real-world application platform to support information network analysis; theories for big network control, algorithms, and systematic solutions to enable user-centric knowledge search, including a new search engine for big information networks. By significantly improving IT, it will benefit Australian business, industry and the wider community.Read moreRead less
