Combining mathematical programming and constraint programming to solve large-scale integrated scheduling problems. This project will target major savings in the airline industry, with resulting benefits for others such as tourism. The efficient use of airline fuel, which will be directly addressed in the project, is very important for the environment. The algorithms developed can improve cost and quality of service for Australian transportation, manufacturing and other industries.

The efficient use of airline fuel, which will be directly addressed in the project, is very important for the environment. The algorithms developed can improve cost and quality of service for Australian transportation, manufacturing and other industries.
The solutions developed within the project will be sold by the industrial partner, CTI, into major companies worldwide, and the technology will be used to develop further products.
Finally the project will extend Australia's lead in constraint programming and expertise in optimisation. This creates a major opportunity for the Australian software industry.

From Tactical Planning to Operational Control - Bridging the Chasm. All organisations plan, and all organisations suffer from the disruptions that occur when plans are put into practice. Few organisations manage to balance operational control with planning to as to maintain both efficiency and flexibility to deal with the unexpected. This project addresses this requirement for the transportation and logistics industries.

Summary
Time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry facility. The experimental information gained from measurements provided by this infrastructure will lead to significant advances in understanding turbulent flows and the dynamics of solid structures, which will impact a broad range of engineering and geophysical fields.

The experimental information gained from measurements provided by this infrastructure will lead to significant advances in understanding turbulent flows and the dynamics of solid structures, which will impact a broad range of engineering and geophysical fields. Some specific examples include the development of efficient turbulence control strategies for the reduction of skin-friction drag and improved combustion processes, resulting in not only better fuel efficiency for vehicles but also reduced CO2 and pollutant emissions. Significant advances can also be made in understanding the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, wind turbine design and the development of lighter and stronger intelligent materials with improved fatigue life.Read moreRead less
