Strategic evaluation model for business-to-business electronic marketplace participation. Striving to become a knowledge-based nation is dependent upon the effective adoption, diffusion and implementation of ICT throughout the business community. The developing world markets, brought about by e-commerce and the increased ability to trade globally facilitated by e-markets, have created significant opportunities for Australian organisations. This research will produce a dynamic model that can be ....Strategic evaluation model for business-to-business electronic marketplace participation. Striving to become a knowledge-based nation is dependent upon the effective adoption, diffusion and implementation of ICT throughout the business community. The developing world markets, brought about by e-commerce and the increased ability to trade globally facilitated by e-markets, have created significant opportunities for Australian organisations. This research will produce a dynamic model that can be used to not only evaluate e-marketplace participation but a wide range of Internet applications. The research will provide Australian managers with the foundation of knowledge needed to guide and support their decision-making when implementing new technology.Read moreRead less
Classifying the indirect costs of information systems and information technology in business. Many businesses are increasing their expenditure on IS/IT to obtain a strategic competitive advantage. Traditional approaches to IS/IT appraisal are unable to accommodate the costs associated with deploying 'organisational-wide' IS/IT solutions because of their qualitative characteristics. The inability of managers to determine the 'true' costs of IS/IT are attributable to a lack of knowledge and unders ....Classifying the indirect costs of information systems and information technology in business. Many businesses are increasing their expenditure on IS/IT to obtain a strategic competitive advantage. Traditional approaches to IS/IT appraisal are unable to accommodate the costs associated with deploying 'organisational-wide' IS/IT solutions because of their qualitative characteristics. The inability of managers to determine the 'true' costs of IS/IT are attributable to a lack of knowledge and understanding of IS/IT related costs. This research will extend the myopia of traditional 'direct' financial cost analysis by identifying 'indirect' cost factors. A model that integrates cost taxonomies and performance measures/metrics of IS/IT will be developed as a frame of reference for IS/IT decision-makers.Read moreRead less

Improving organisational innovation using social media. This project will examine how social media can be effectively used in organisations to improve levels of innovation. The outcomes of the research will put Australia at the forefront of research in the area and have a significant impact on innovation in Australian organisations.
Stochastic Geometry for Multi-sensor Data Fusion System. The aim of this project is to develop efficient algorithms for tracking and sensor management in a multi-sensor multi-target environment. Finite random set theory provides a natural way of representing a random number of (random) object states, an issue that has been largely ignored in the tracking literature until recently. Although a satisfactory foundation for multiple object filtering has been provided by random set theory, in this ear ....Stochastic Geometry for Multi-sensor Data Fusion System. The aim of this project is to develop efficient algorithms for tracking and sensor management in a multi-sensor multi-target environment. Finite random set theory provides a natural way of representing a random number of (random) object states, an issue that has been largely ignored in the tracking literature until recently. Although a satisfactory foundation for multiple object filtering has been provided by random set theory, in this early stage no algorithm capable of tracking many targets has emerged from this framework. We are confident that efficient algorithms can be developed by exploiting the insights and mathematical tools of stochastic geometryRead moreRead less
