Analysis of effective offshoring processes for Australian organisations. The offshore outsourcing of business processes is a new, largely unexplored and under-theorised area that is placing great pressure on Australian organisations. This research aims to develop models of best practice for offshoring by Australian organisations through a series of cases studies commencing with the industry partner, Repcol Limited. The research will identify what business processes are core, what processes can b ....Analysis of effective offshoring processes for Australian organisations. The offshore outsourcing of business processes is a new, largely unexplored and under-theorised area that is placing great pressure on Australian organisations. This research aims to develop models of best practice for offshoring by Australian organisations through a series of cases studies commencing with the industry partner, Repcol Limited. The research will identify what business processes are core, what processes can be offshored, whether to use third parties or have captive operations, and what factors need to be addressed in order to utilise offshoring to strengthen Australian organisations and enable them to take advantage of global strategic opportunities for growth.Read moreRead less
Development of methods to address internet crime. If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crimes more effectively and efficiently. It will also limit the damage caused by Internet crimes quickly. For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. I ....Development of methods to address internet crime.

For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. If we can quickly identify and block a harmful phishing site, then less innocent people will be deceived into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords or other sensitive information.Read moreRead less

Summary
Australian e-Research Grid. The e-Research Grid program will research and implement core Grid technologies on APAC and partner's deployed HPC resources, to underpin a broad range of Australian research. The computer science CIs will form collaborative links with international programs, adapting developments to local circumstances. The applications-domain CIs will leverage those into their scientific simulations and databases, using grid integrative techniques and portals. Many CIs participate in ....Australian e-Research Grid. The e-Research Grid program will research and implement core Grid technologies on APAC and partner's deployed HPC resources, to underpin a broad range of Australian research. The computer science CIs will form collaborative links with international programs, adapting developments to local circumstances. The applications-domain CIs will leverage those into their scientific simulations and databases, using grid integrative techniques and portals. Many CIs participate in other RNs linking to their motivating applications, enhancing prospects for research and integration. They participate in the APAC Grid program, leveraging 75 HPC staff nationally. A key aim is interoperability with "real-world Grids": eg e-learning & e-health programs.Read moreRead less
Concept-Based Multilingual Web Content Mining. Towards smart use of Web information, this pioneer project will develop an innovative concept-based approach for discovering global knowledge embedded within multilingual Web documents. Departing from the traditional bilingual term-to-term machine translation techniques, the approach overcomes the notorious vocabulary mismatch problem by enabling synchronised lexical mapping of multiple languages. A series of intelligent concept-based techniques usi ....Concept-Based Multilingual Web Content Mining. Towards smart use of Web information, this pioneer project will develop an innovative concept-based approach for discovering global knowledge embedded within multilingual Web documents. Departing from the traditional bilingual term-to-term machine translation techniques, the approach overcomes the notorious vocabulary mismatch problem by enabling synchronised lexical mapping of multiple languages. A series of intelligent concept-based techniques using fuzzy logic and neural networks will be investigated to support smart Web information browsing and exploration. This project will provide valuable new insights into developing state-of-the-art multilingual Web mining applications for enhancing business intelligence in Australia's knowledge driven industries.Read moreRead less
Personalized, Adaptive, and Semantic-driven Selection and Composition of Web Services. Web services are the pillar of the new generation of Internet technologies. They provide standardized access to functionality that would otherwise be hidden inside enterprise information systems. As the existing base of web services expands, there is a need for techniques to select, configure, assemble, and coordinate web services to perform complex user tasks. This project will advance the fundamental underst ....Personalized, Adaptive, and Semantic-driven Selection and Composition of Web Services. Web services are the pillar of the new generation of Internet technologies. They provide standardized access to functionality that would otherwise be hidden inside enterprise information systems. As the existing base of web services expands, there is a need for techniques to select, configure, assemble, and coordinate web services to perform complex user tasks. This project will advance the fundamental understanding and know-how in this area by addressing three complementary research challenges: how to, organize and search semantically rich service descriptions; select services with respect to flexible and personalized criteria; and coordinate services in an adaptive and context-aware manner.Read moreRead less

The clinical benefit of this project will be in improved success rates and reduced mortality and risk in surgery and intensive care units. The Information and communication technology (ICT) benefit of this project is associated with the novel online algorithms and models aligned with the stream data research, and will be enhanced by our stream compression techniques. The stream data analyser developed in this project will be suitable for more than medical surveillance data; it will also improve the processing of other kinds of massive stream data (for example data from remote sensors, communication networks and other dynamic environments). The project involves a scientifically rich collaboration that will enhance the skills of PhD students and staff and drive the field forward.Read moreRead less
Coordinated and Cooperative Load Sharing between Content Delivery Networks. Popular web services can experience severe downtimes as the result of heavy traffic. Enabling coordinated and cooperative content delivery between existing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will allow a CDN provider to rapidly 'scale-out' without investing in new infrastructure, to meet both flash crowds and anticipated increases in demand. Improved cost effectiveness, performance and locality for providers and end-users ....Coordinated and Cooperative Load Sharing between Content Delivery Networks. Popular web services can experience severe downtimes as the result of heavy traffic. Enabling coordinated and cooperative content delivery between existing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will allow a CDN provider to rapidly 'scale-out' without investing in new infrastructure, to meet both flash crowds and anticipated increases in demand. Improved cost effectiveness, performance and locality for providers and end-users can be achieved by leveraging existing infrastructure provided by other CDNs, creating economies of scale that were previously impossible. This is crucial for uses on the so-called edges of the internet (e.g. Australia) that depend on a small number of expensive data links to the major data centres in Europe and the USA.Read moreRead less
