With growing concerns for national security and public safety, government agencies in Australia and around the world are taking strong measures to introduce biometric-enhanced official identification documents such as passports, visas, and ID cards. The proposed face detection and tracking system will play a key role in personal identification and human activity monitoring. The developed system will have a huge potential in surveillance, security, law enforcement, and ICT. This project will contribute to building a knowledge economy in Australia and help safeguard and protect Australia from terrorism and crime. Furthermore, its outcomes will enhance the reputation of Australia as a leader in frontier technologies and smart information use.Read moreRead less

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 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
