Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points ....Efficient spatial data management for enabling true ride-sharing. This data management project aims to examine ride-sharing as a model of a complex decision system that can be optimised to deliver better outcomes. Popular ride-sharing apps have quickly evolved into ride-sourcing services that are comparable to calling a taxi on a mobile phone. Such arrangements miss many of the key benefits of true ride-sharing for the society. The project will model incentives by helping people agree on points of interest rather than directly seeking trips from others to set destinations. It also aims to introduce privacy-aware dynamic matching of sharers, and expand to transportation at large, to generate new shared transportation services. The expected outcome of this project is to elevate today's taxi-like ride-sharing services to true ride-sharing arrangements. This is expected to provide benefits such as reduced traffic and emissions, as well as addressing parking issues and other traffic problems.Read moreRead less
Next generation data mining techniques for analysing large evolving networks. In order to understand complex systems such as the Internet or gene interactions, we need to analyse how the networks in these systems function and evolve. This project will provide new methods for extracting knowledge from large network databases so that scientists can learn about the operation of these complex systems.

This project aims to develop a novel infrastructure operational monitoring and management strategy to reduce the redundant maintenance actions and achieve a cost-effective approach for civil infrastructure asset management. The project will use multiple social networks as a platform for the project, with the potential for the results to be extended to any dynamic cyberspace. Project outcomes will include a set of new analysis theories and tools to facilitate government, companies, individuals, and organisations to enhance their information gathering and privacy-preserving capabilities. This is expected to enhance the credibility of the government and organisations and save the possible financial loss of companies and individuals.Read moreRead less
Effective and efficient record linkage with transformation rules. Record linkage is an enabling technology for organisations to identify and remove 'redundant' entries in their databases; this helps prevent data quality problems that may cost millions. This project will deliver the next-generation record linkage methodology that enables cost and time economical linkage beyond what is currently possible.
