Taming the uncertainty in trajectory data. This project aims to develop effective and efficient methods to manage large scale uncertain trajectory data. It provides individuals, business, government and social groups the ability to explore significant uncertain trajectories and their patterns, for important usages in location based services, logistic, transportation and tourism.
Preventing railway suicide: An open-systems perspective. Preventing railway suicide: An open-systems perspective. This project aims to develop an automated suicide risk detection system to reduce the incidence and impact of railway suicide, which has a devastating effect on victims’ families, station staff, train drivers, emergency workers, and bystanders. This project will use open-systems theory to develop two complementary information systems for more effective detection and reporting of suic ....Preventing railway suicide: An open-systems perspective. Preventing railway suicide: An open-systems perspective. This project aims to develop an automated suicide risk detection system to reduce the incidence and impact of railway suicide, which has a devastating effect on victims’ families, station staff, train drivers, emergency workers, and bystanders. This project will use open-systems theory to develop two complementary information systems for more effective detection and reporting of suicide risk; use these systems to investigate how different situational factors interact with different combinations of service interventions to influence suicide risk; and share the findings to reduce railway suicide in Australia and overseas.Read moreRead less

Intelligent Applications Through The Semantic Web. The primary aim of the proposed bid is to build a network of Australian researchers and their international peers for condresearch into the fundamental as well as applied aspects of the Semantic Web. By incorporating meaning of web-content in a form that can be accessed and processed by intelligent software agents, the Semantic Web will allow computers and humans to work in cooperation. This research will address the needs of both the Australian ....Intelligent Applications Through The Semantic Web. The primary aim of the proposed bid is to build a network of Australian researchers and their international peers for condresearch into the fundamental as well as applied aspects of the Semantic Web. By incorporating meaning of web-content in a form that can be accessed and processed by intelligent software agents, the Semantic Web will allow computers and humans to work in cooperation. This research will address the needs of both the Australian government and industry that provide and make smart use of information available on the Web. It will ensure Australian preparedness for the next-generation web technology.Read moreRead less

Bio-Acoustic Observatory: Engaging Birdwatchers to Monitor Biodiversity by Collaboratively Collecting and Analysing Big Audio Data. This project will research how to crowd-source the collection and analysis of environmental animal sounds (for example, birds, frogs). This will enable a bio-acoustic observatory which provides a scalable, objective and permanent record of the environment, something hitherto impossible. The project will investigate how to engage the community of birdwatchers to exte ....Bio-Acoustic Observatory: Engaging Birdwatchers to Monitor Biodiversity by Collaboratively Collecting and Analysing Big Audio Data. This project will research how to crowd-source the collection and analysis of environmental animal sounds (for example, birds, frogs). This will enable a bio-acoustic observatory which provides a scalable, objective and permanent record of the environment, something hitherto impossible. The project will investigate how to engage the community of birdwatchers to extend their pastime online with new kinds of interactive tools to enable collaborative analysis of big audio data, and new kinds of birding experiences. Outcomes will be: new approaches to physical/virtual engagement in human-computer interaction; new approaches to analysing big data; a new validated ecological monitoring technique and concepts for sustainable knowledge generation communities.Read moreRead less

The aim of the project is to generate theoretical knowledge on how to govern agile teams effectively. Effective governance of software development projects is essential for companies to protect their information technology investments. Nowadays, companies have migrated to agile software development where requirements and solutions evolve iteratively and change frequently; yet formal approaches to governance (eg steering committee and detailed plans) are ineffective and impede flexibility, agility and creativity. This project aims to identify informal governance approaches for agile projects based on team embeddedness and network theory. With this knowledge, management could ensure projects deliver value at an acceptable cost, quality and timescale.Read moreRead less
