Schools and tertiary institutions across Australia and the world are struggling to deal with the increasing problem of plagiarism. Public discussion tends to revolve around detection. By focusing on dealing with the roots of the problem through innovative teaching at the secondary level, the project supports recent school curriculum efforts in all Australian states, in International Baccalaureate schools and in the educational sector worldwide. The flow-on effect at tertiary levels will contribute to the national benefits from the project. A toolkit that provides positive solutions to plagiarism will benefit any educator who is concerned about plagiarism and knowledge generation.Read moreRead less

publish their own data and make use of data provided by other subscribers or third party suppliers. The network will provide infrastructure for rights management of data, in particular making sure that any original conditions on the collection and publication of data are respected. The project will support collaborative annotation of data stored in the network so its use can be maximised across disciplines.

A scheme of local compilation of mobile collectors for image and video search engines. The object collector is an important component in a Web search engine. A collector collects Web objects (text, image, video, etc), extracts their features and builds an index file for the search engine. Sending each object to the collector is always the worst option with respect to resource usage because it is the feature, not the entire object, which will be used in indexing and retrieval.

A collector collects Web objects (text, image, video, etc), extracts their features and builds an index file for the search engine. Sending each object to the collector is always the worst option with respect to resource usage because it is the feature, not the entire object, which will be used in indexing and retrieval. An alternative is to send a collector to the source site, which has an advantage of distributing computational load and performing summarization and compression. This project proposes a locally compiled mobile collector for image and video search engines.Read moreRead less

The archive contains data that covers forty years of social, political and economic surveys. The archive also acts as a gateway for social science researchers to access data from equivalent overseas institutions in North America, the European Union and OECD countries.Read moreRead less
Concept learning and Structure Formation for Document Navigation. This proposal is motivated by its interest in document retrieval and
discovery using formal concept analysis. The hypothesis to be tested
is that logical structures can be automatically inferred from
a document collection using information inference and
concept learning.

This project will enhance Australia's social science research infrastructure by creating a distributed data archive with world class cataloguing, online access and analysis capabilities. It will also pilot a complementary qualitative data archive. The facility will provide improved archiving, access and online analysis to the Australian research community, and enable researchers on eight Australian and international projects to construct consolidated purpose-built datasets for their research and dissemination to Australian researchers. The qualitative archive will develop and pilot new technology for archiving, disseminating and analysing non-numeric social data as proof of concept for the development of a national qualitative archive.Read moreRead less
Content-based image retrieval using interactive feedback. Storage and retrieval of visual information plays an important role in multimedia systems. We aim to develop a method to retrieve images and visual information from multimedia databases and multimedia systems. The method will go beyond simple similarity search to retrieval data on knowledge by accommodating knowledge acquisition and sequential learning techniques, and will be able to handle complex queries with partial information. The ....Content-based image retrieval using interactive feedback. Storage and retrieval of visual information plays an important role in multimedia systems. We aim to develop a method to retrieve images and visual information from multimedia databases and multimedia systems. The method will go beyond simple similarity search to retrieval data on knowledge by accommodating knowledge acquisition and sequential learning techniques, and will be able to handle complex queries with partial information. The technology developed will find many applications in the multimedia area such as education, medical imaging, desktop publishing, advertising, business presentation, and engineering design.Read moreRead less
A scheme and a formal language for interactive video. Video has been increasingly used in many fields and plays an important role in our daily life. Most traditional video players and video formats only provide linear interaction, such as play, fast forward, fast backward or jump to a certain frame of a video stream indicated by a sequence or time on a random access device.

This project aims at enabling a hyperlink type of interactions for video data through the development of video interaction mark-up language (VIML). It can find many applications in education, marketing, web presentation and digital TV.Read moreRead less
Distributed Autonomic Management (DAM): A New Paradigm for Integrated Network Management. Integrated network management (encompassing the integrated management of networks, systems and applications) systems are now based on the client-server paradigm using the manager-agent model standardised by ISO 7498-4 and IETF SNMP.

Integrated network management (encompassing the integrated management of networks, systems and applications) systems are now based on the client-server paradigm using the manager-agent model standardised by ISO 7498-4 and IETF SNMP. The limitations of this paradigm are now evident in view of evolving active network technologies, the need for bandwidth optimisation, and escalating threats of cyber-terrorism that need to be effectively managed for the future success of evolving e-business services. Researchers have tried (with limited success) to use the intelligent agent approach to solve this problem. This project aims to develop and validate a new paradigm for integrated network management, called Distributed Autonomic Management (DAM) based on a community of cooperative static and mobile agents.Read moreRead less

Australia is the first country to launch digital TV nationally. Increasingly, this platform will be used for consuming multimedia information; also the HDTV infrastructure is being applied to other domains such as telemedicine/e-Health to lower costs and improve effectiveness. For Australia to be a step ahead in the development of these applications that are beneficial to a wider community, we have to look forward and establish adequate infrastructure for the development of needed applications of the future. It is strongly believed that by doing so we can position ourselves ahead of other communities in anticipating and providing essential services to our modern society and this in turn will greatly benefit the Australian economy.Read moreRead less
