EII targets consolidated research towards the comprehensive development & establishment of advanced information infrastructures. Its prime purpose is to provide a forum for intellectual exchange by diverse yet complementary research groups, to address the fundamental research problems faced by scientific & business communities when dealing with deployment of information technology to globally distributed, and data intensive environments. EII will address 3 tightly coupled research themes: Ability to interoperate across existing heterogenous platforms & applications; Efficient processing of very large data sets; Technology adoption & impact. Generic results will be applicable to e-science and large business information systems installations.Read moreRead less
Governance of information technology programmes: achieving accountability, control and success. This project aims to improve the effectiveness with which IT-enabled programmes are managed by public and private organisations. The theoretical knowledge and guides for good practice emerging from this study will contribute to increased success in managing and delivering complex and vital programmes across Australia.
A theory of communicative practices within financial internet discussion site communities. This project aims to use online financial investment communities to identify factors that drive communication and influence knowledge co-creation, examine how systematic variations in these factors influence investor decision making, and develop a mid-range theory for explaining and predicting the influence of online communication patterns on individual decisions and market outcomes. By developing and vali ....A theory of communicative practices within financial internet discussion site communities. This project aims to use online financial investment communities to identify factors that drive communication and influence knowledge co-creation, examine how systematic variations in these factors influence investor decision making, and develop a mid-range theory for explaining and predicting the influence of online communication patterns on individual decisions and market outcomes. By developing and validating a new mid-range theory, initially in the financial investment context, this project will provide significant benefits, such as help to secure Australia’s place in a changing world through improved information flow.Read moreRead less

Floor trading versus computer trading - Does it matter? Computer systems for securities trading date from the 1980s. These systems are large, costly and extremely complex. Outcomes from their introduction were unforeseen and the relevant research literature is sparse. This project will investigate experimentally with a simulated trading system the effects on trading behaviour of important system parameters. Intelligent support systems for traders will also be developed and tested. The project ....Floor trading versus computer trading - Does it matter? Computer systems for securities trading date from the 1980s. These systems are large, costly and extremely complex. Outcomes from their introduction were unforeseen and the relevant research literature is sparse. This project will investigate experimentally with a simulated trading system the effects on trading behaviour of important system parameters. Intelligent support systems for traders will also be developed and tested. The project team combines needed expertise from the areas of human decision making, finance, and advanced information technologies. Results will be important for theory of market microstructure and interactive intelligent systems and also for an important industry in Australia.Read moreRead less

Information systems theory for location-based educational services in informal learning environments. Creating technology enhanced learning experiences will be critical to the way we educate and engage with future generations. This project will seek to develop a stronger theoretical basis for understanding how location-based technologies can enhance learning outcomes of school students visiting three of Australia's leading cultural institutions.
Digital nomadism: How IT enables new forms of working and organising. This project aims to gain a better understanding of digital nomadism. Digital nomads use IT platforms to work remotely over the Internet while perpetually travelling. The project will develop new knowledge by better understanding of how IT transforms work and enable digital nomadism, the motivations and values of workers and their clients/organisations engaged in digital nomadism and the implications and consequences of digita ....Digital nomadism: How IT enables new forms of working and organising. This project aims to gain a better understanding of digital nomadism. Digital nomads use IT platforms to work remotely over the Internet while perpetually travelling. The project will develop new knowledge by better understanding of how IT transforms work and enable digital nomadism, the motivations and values of workers and their clients/organisations engaged in digital nomadism and the implications and consequences of digital nomadism for workers and clients/organisations. The project is expected to have a significant impact on policy and public discourse by providing an in-depth explanation and understanding of digital nomadism based on rigorous research.Read moreRead less
