Summary
Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services. Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which i ....Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services.

As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which is the main focus of this network. The CIs will collaborate in several ways, ranging from basic research to applications, to enable the creation and maintenance of highly dependable computer systems and networked applications.

The mission of the Centre is to stimulate research in mathematical and statistical modelling of complex systems and to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques. The specific objectives are
- to formulate and analyse mathematical and statistical models for natural and artificial complex systems,
- to use these models to develop an understanding of the behaviour of these systems
- to incorporate this understanding into strategies for management and control.Read moreRead less

This project aims to provide comprehensive free access online to the reports of all royal commissions and other public inquiries held in Australia since Federation. The project
intends to support a wide understanding of the pivotal role public inquiries play in the development of Australian law and public policy. It is expected that these reports will be comprehensively integrated with all other legislation, case law and law reform reports on AustLII to promote a greater understanding of how the balance is struck between inquisitorial fact-finding and the right to procedural fairness of participants and of how justice is delivered through the inquiry function of public bodies.Read moreRead less

The project aims to design, implement, and integrate solutions to manage resources in cloud data centres (CDCs), especially when operating under bursty workload conditions. CDCs are expected to assure performance whilst optimising resource usage at a minimum cost, but efficiently providing resources with specific performance requirements can be difficult. This project intends to develop scalable solutions with industry approved software plug-ins. This is expected to affect both trustworthy information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure (delivering more resilient CDCs) and economic sustainability (reducing CDC usage cost for both users and providers) of today’s computerised society.Read moreRead less

This project aims to design, implement, and integrate solutions to improve resource use of private cloud data centres (CDCs). CDCs are expected to guarantee performance while optimising resource usage at a minimum cost. This incurs technical challenges that must be tackled to efficiently provision on-demand resources with specific performance requirements. The project intends to push the applicability of both current techniques and the ones to be designed in this project to industry-scale CDCs, and identify metrics and variables to holistically control service-level agreements of hosted applications. Scalable solutions with industry approved software plug-ins are the major outcomes of this project. The outcomes of this project will have a substantial impact on both environmental (lowering energy consumption to lead to greener infrastructure) and economic sustainability (reducing cloud usage cost for both users and providers) of today’s much computerised society.Read moreRead less
