This project aims to develop an innovative approach to create and update as necessary the large collection of business process models that represent a complex organisation, so that this collection captures the actual way in which the organisation performs its business processes. Deploying theoretical, conceptual and empirical research, this project aims to capitalise on the value hidden in large process data, as recorded in event logs. The approach is intended to be implemented in an open-source technology to facilitate advanced investigations and predictions that can ultimately lead to better strategic decision-making. This technology also has the potential to become a research-enabling tool for the large research community in business process management.Read moreRead less
Development of methods to address internet crime. If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crimes more effectively and efficiently. It will also limit the damage caused by Internet crimes quickly. For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. I ....Development of methods to address internet crime.

For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. If we can quickly identify and block a harmful phishing site, then less innocent people will be deceived into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords or other sensitive information.Read moreRead less
An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration ....An Integrated Infrastructure for Dynamic and Large Scale Supply Chain. Efficient and scalable middlewares are an important part of our current competitive economy. This is particularly important in Australia where production and population centres are spread over large distances. As a result, inefficiencies in web-based disparate businesses are likely to have a strong impact on the national economy. This project will provide an integrated framework and solutions to urgently needed integration problems faced by current industries. The development of a reliable and flexible infrastructure will benefit small and medium-scale enterprises, as they will be able to participate in large-scale supply chains and expand their business, without having to invest in expensive new computer systems and software.Read moreRead less
Designing an Efficient and Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile Web Services. Mobile services (M-Services) are rapidly growing due to enormous proliferation of web services and of the wireless networks. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet as well as the specific requirements of mobile environments, existing M-services have limitations as they lack support for flexible transactions. The aim of this project is to design an efficient mobile transaction-based infrastructure to ....Designing an Efficient and Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile Web Services. Mobile services (M-Services) are rapidly growing due to enormous proliferation of web services and of the wireless networks. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet as well as the specific requirements of mobile environments, existing M-services have limitations as they lack support for flexible transactions. The aim of this project is to design an efficient mobile transaction-based infrastructure to support highly adaptable M-Services. This infrastructure will provide robust and efficient management of business transactions across different enterprises. The outcomes of this project will include a set of advanced techniques and algorithms that will form the basis of the next generation of mobile web services.Read moreRead less
Developing Robust Mobile Middleware for Large Scale Distributed On-line Applications. Existing electronic commerce have shown profound limitations when dealing with key issues related to electronic commerce applications, such as data interoperability, mobility and performance.

The ARC Earth System Science Network incorporates data collectors, modellers and impacts researchers to address the impacts of climate change and variability on Human, biological and physical systems. Our capacity to adapt to changes in water availability, agricultural productivity, the likelihood of species extinctions, and risks to human health will be enhanced through the Network's use of frontier technologies. The enhanced capacity to use data and model the Earth System will allow policymakers to make more informed decisions with regard to water, biodiversity, human health, industry and agriculture sustainability; thereby enhancing the national capacity to respond to climate change and variability and securing our common interest.Read moreRead less
Designing a Scalable and Robust Infrastructure for Highly Dynamic Web Services. Web services are modular Internet-based applications that communicate with one another over the Internet. However, because of the high dynamic nature of the Internet, existing web services have profound limitations as they lack the support of semantic-based service discovery and dynamic service composition.

Increasingly, large Australian multicentre research programs in biological and medical sciences have a genomics component that involves integration of biological information with sequencing data. The success of these research programs depends on rapid internet access to the research information by all participating scientists. The universal design of the proposed information management system means that it can be easily adapted to support a broad range of research programs. The development of this software program therefore has the potential to benefit research scientists, academics and students in many related fields, as well as the broader community, through enhancing research outcomes.Read moreRead less
