A generic decision-making design environment to enable end users in rural industries to develop expert systems. Successful decision support systems developed by end-users has been limited: our proposed approach advances this capability. Using natural representations of industry knowledge, this project will specify a generic design environment in which industry end-users can develop relevant decision support systems.

Successful decision support systems developed by end-users has been limited: our proposed approach advances this capability. Using natural representations of industry knowledge, this project will specify a generic design environment in which industry end-users can develop relevant decision support systems. It extends expert systems technologies to overcome known limitations, increasing context and relevance and encouraging user uptake. Key industry stakeholders will select relevant problems to identify decision categories, leading to specification of the generic design environment. This promises improved decision quality for dairy farmers in the recently deregulated dairy industry; the design environment will be transferable to other rural industries.Read moreRead less
Investigation and development of robust rule discovery and classification system. This research focuses on a national research priority, namely smart information use. The expected outcomes of the project will greatly advance intelligent system design, such as automatic decision making, fault detection and problem diagnosis, for finance, medical, telecom and many other areas. It has great potential for commercialisation and earning incomes for the future research. The publications will benefit th ....Investigation and development of robust rule discovery and classification system. This research focuses on a national research priority, namely smart information use. The expected outcomes of the project will greatly advance intelligent system design, such as automatic decision making, fault detection and problem diagnosis, for finance, medical, telecom and many other areas. It has great potential for commercialisation and earning incomes for the future research. The publications will benefit the future development of intelligent systems for dealing with missing data. This project directly supports a PhD student and two research assistants who will most likely continue their higher degree study. These contribute to regional tertiary education.Read moreRead less
Mining Distributed, High-Speed, Time-Variant Data Streams. With the high-speed and large volume of data generation, the data mining research community is facing an unprecedented challenge to provide instant data mining outcomes for prompt usage. Getting access to derived information from multiple, dynamically changing data is vital for many business, science and security services. Extended networks of sensors and other devices assist many environments with data collection that should be correlat ....Mining Distributed, High-Speed, Time-Variant Data Streams. With the high-speed and large volume of data generation, the data mining research community is facing an unprecedented challenge to provide instant data mining outcomes for prompt usage. Getting access to derived information from multiple, dynamically changing data is vital for many business, science and security services. Extended networks of sensors and other devices assist many environments with data collection that should be correlated and processed towards discovery of dependencies, regularities and patterns. Data mining tools, especially of this new generation, are capable of dealing with data streams, and they offer great benefits for users from many industry sectors; defence, health management, security, commerce and science.Read moreRead less
Model checking Multi-Agent System and its applications. This research project directly addresses two of the Australian Government's four National Research Priorities: National Research Priorities 3 and 4. It will develop an enabling technology that is applicable to the development of safety-intensive and highly dependable software systems like medical equipment and airport controlling systems. The security protocol analysis technologies developed by this project can be useful for providing impro ....Model checking Multi-Agent System and its applications. This research project directly addresses two of the Australian Government's four National Research Priorities: National Research Priorities 3 and 4. It will develop an enabling technology that is applicable to the development of safety-intensive and highly dependable software systems like medical equipment and airport controlling systems. The security protocol analysis technologies developed by this project can be useful for providing improved ways of military operation flows, and for making Australian security communication systems more dependable.Read moreRead less
