Use of Interval Arithmetic and GRID Computing in Computational Molecular Science: Bounding Errors and Locating Global Minima. Catastrophic failure of the Ariane 5 rocket in 1996 and the inability of Patriot missile systems to reach their targets during the 1991 Gulf war were both attributed to numerical computing errors. Less dramatic, but in a similar vein, this project aims to study the numerical stability of contemporary computational molecular science applications.

Catastrophic failure of the Ariane 5 rocket in 1996 and the inability of Patriot missile systems to reach their targets during the 1991 Gulf war were both attributed to numerical computing errors. Less dramatic, but in a similar vein, this project aims to study the numerical stability of contemporary computational molecular science applications. The focus will be on linear scaling electronic structure codes, methods that are critical to the study of nano- and bio-materials, and are therefore of great importance to our economic future and medical well being. The project will build expertise within Australia in the area of interval arithmetic, an area that is currently poorly represented.Read moreRead less
Developing an Electronic Clearinghouse for Efficient and Unified Government and Corporate Online Procurement using Ontology-based Technologies. National benefits include:
- The generic clearinghouse technologies developed can provide efficiency in all government and corporate procurement
- National tourism would now be able to distribute into the new global electronic economy
- The clearinghouse could even be used in case of national disaster/terrorism attack to relocate large numbers of a me ....Developing an Electronic Clearinghouse for Efficient and Unified Government and Corporate Online Procurement using Ontology-based Technologies. National benefits include:
- The generic clearinghouse technologies developed can provide efficiency in all government and corporate procurement
- National tourism would now be able to distribute into the new global electronic economy
- The clearinghouse could even be used in case of national disaster/terrorism attack to relocate large numbers of a metro population
- The Commonwealth could use this data for things such as setting proper benchmark rates for government travel
- State and regional tourism authorities who would gain huge efficiencies in distribution for their member hotels.
- The project would also help distributors, wholesalers, e-tailers etc.
