Validation and Verification of Electronic Evidence: Developing a Testing Regime for Digital Forensic Software Reliability. Law Enforcement is analysing an exponentially-increasing quantity of Electronic Evidence - a 100,000 fold increase was experienced by the NSW police in the last decade. This is clear indication that computer related evidence is now an essential component of traditional crime investigation as well as computer crime. We intend to streamline the investigative process. This can ....Validation and Verification of Electronic Evidence: Developing a Testing Regime for Digital Forensic Software Reliability. Law Enforcement is analysing an exponentially-increasing quantity of Electronic Evidence - a 100,000 fold increase was experienced by the NSW police in the last decade. This is clear indication that computer related evidence is now an essential component of traditional crime investigation as well as computer crime. We intend to streamline the investigative process. This can only occur with the development of a validation framework from which we can build a testing regime to establish reliability of forensic tools and therefore the forensic investigative processes.

A modelling challenge: bridging the gap between molecular and neuronal networks. We will develop innovative frameworks, which unify small-scale molecular activity with electrical signals in branches of brain cells. This research aims to enhance our understanding how molecular scale phenomena influence brain disease, via studying the model dynamics using cutting-edge techniques on a supercomputer. The socio-economic benefits to Australia include: (i) Enhancing Australia's international reputation ....A modelling challenge: bridging the gap between molecular and neuronal networks. We will develop innovative frameworks, which unify small-scale molecular activity with electrical signals in branches of brain cells. This research aims to enhance our understanding how molecular scale phenomena influence brain disease, via studying the model dynamics using cutting-edge techniques on a supercomputer. The socio-economic benefits to Australia include: (i) Enhancing Australia's international reputation for cutting-edge multidisciplinary research; (ii) international collaborations will be strengthened; (iii) outcomes will potentially lead to commercialisation opportunities; (iv) results will ultimately lay the foundations to explore the cellular and molecular origin of brain disorders.Read moreRead less
Data Exploitation for Critical Infrastructure Protection: Gathering Intelligence from Digital Evidence Collected from IT Networks and Process Control Systems. This proposal addresses the National Priority of Safeguarding Australia and its results will serve as a major input into current Australian Federal Government and Defence initiatives in digital evidence collection and exploitation as part of process control system security. It will play a significant part in satisfying the Australian commu ....Data Exploitation for Critical Infrastructure Protection: Gathering Intelligence from Digital Evidence Collected from IT Networks and Process Control Systems. This proposal addresses the National Priority of Safeguarding Australia and its results will serve as a major input into current Australian Federal Government and Defence initiatives in digital evidence collection and exploitation as part of process control system security. It will play a significant part in satisfying the Australian community that steps are being taken to safeguard national services and will develop techniques for protecting Australia against criminal or terrorist cyber attack on national services infrastructure. It will serve to develop niche Australian research expertise in this very specialised international field.Read moreRead less
