This project will support Research Priority 3: Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries. The results will provide information that will further build our understanding of human computer interactions. Digital Foam supports Smart Information Use by providing a new interaction paradigm for existing and new creative applications for digital technologies. The new form of interaction provides a new computer interaction product in itself and the ability to make a more efficient creative environment for designers of 3D content, multi-media and manufacturing design. This technology supports the ability of organisations to operate virtually and collaborate across large distances in Australia and internationally.Read moreRead less
Aggregating Generalised Stochastic Petri Nets for improved Performance Analysis. Australia's economy is very dependent on the operation of complex man-made systems. Important examples are telecommunication networks and services (e.g. the Internet), manufacturing plants, organisational processes, military logistics and transport systems (e.g. air traffic control). The performance of these systems is critical to their success. Thus being able to predict performance before systems are implemented i ....Aggregating Generalised Stochastic Petri Nets for improved Performance Analysis. Australia's economy is very dependent on the operation of complex man-made systems. Important examples are telecommunication networks and services (e.g. the Internet), manufacturing plants, organisational processes, military logistics and transport systems (e.g. air traffic control). The performance of these systems is critical to their success. Thus being able to predict performance before systems are implemented is very important in their design. This project will develop leading-edge performance analysis techniques and tools for an important class of practical systems. There is potential to commercialise the resulting tools and methodology and to transfer the expertise to industry.Read moreRead less
Through Walls Collaboration to Support Command and Control Operations with Eyes and Ears in the Field. Australia is a geographically dispersed country with locations of high concentrations of technology resources. Australia requires the ability to gather real time intelligence information in the field to support planning and operational decisions by a command team for military and civil defence operations. Currently Australia supports such operations in remote areas of the country and numerous o ....Through Walls Collaboration to Support Command and Control Operations with Eyes and Ears in the Field. Australia is a geographically dispersed country with locations of high concentrations of technology resources. Australia requires the ability to gather real time intelligence information in the field to support planning and operational decisions by a command team for military and civil defence operations. Currently Australia supports such operations in remote areas of the country and numerous overseas operations. A major research outcome is the design and development of interaction techniques for the mobile users in through walls collaboration systems to control and manipulate augmented reality information in the field across a number of application domains, such as medical, maintenance, military, search and rescue, and GIS visualization.Read moreRead less

Light-matter interactions using optical fibres. This program will allow Australia to build on established excellence in photonics to extend the impact of optical fibres beyond telecommunications to applications throughout the sciences. Pioneering work on materials and structures will form a platform technology enabling innovations in areas as diverse as water quality monitoring and corrosion detection. In addition, new optical fibres will be developed for the needs of the Australian Defence Forc ....Light-matter interactions using optical fibres. This program will allow Australia to build on established excellence in photonics to extend the impact of optical fibres beyond telecommunications to applications throughout the sciences. Pioneering work on materials and structures will form a platform technology enabling innovations in areas as diverse as water quality monitoring and corrosion detection. In addition, new optical fibres will be developed for the needs of the Australian Defence Force and associated industries. Fibre-based approaches to problems in biology will ultimately lead to an improved understanding of molecular structures and new tools for manipulating biomolecules.Read moreRead less
New Analytical Perspectives on the Algorithmic Complexity of the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem. Hamiltonian Cycle Problem (HCP), known - in the complexity theory of
algorithms -to be NP-hard is proposed for study, from three innovative,

algorithms -to be NP-hard is proposed for study, from three innovative,
separate (yet related) analytical perspectives: singularly perturbed
(controlled) Markov chains, that links the HCP with systems and control
theories; parametric nonconvex optimization, that links HCP with fast
interior point methods of modern optimization and the spectral approach
based on a novel adaptation of Ihara-Selberg trace formula for regular
graphs. Our mathematical approach to this archetypal complex problem of graph
theory and discrete optimization promises to enhance the fundamental
understanding - and ultimate "managibility" - of the underlying
difficulty of HCP.

Advanced Sweep-Line State Space Reduction Methods for Verification of Concurrent and Distributed Systems. The rigorous design and analysis of distributed systems, such as the Internet and its applications, is known to be a difficult problem. This project will develop new techniques for reducing the memory and time required for computer-aided verification of concurrent and distributed systems. The technique will be combined with other reduction techniques to increase their range of applicability. ....Advanced Sweep-Line State Space Reduction Methods for Verification of Concurrent and Distributed Systems. The rigorous design and analysis of distributed systems, such as the Internet and its applications, is known to be a difficult problem. This project will develop new techniques for reducing the memory and time required for computer-aided verification of concurrent and distributed systems. The technique will be combined with other reduction techniques to increase their range of applicability. The reduction techniques will be implemented and evaluated using important transaction protocols for electronic commerce and internet enabled wireless communications. The technique will also be applied to so called 'object-oriented' modelling languages.Read moreRead less
