Risk-aware business process management. Risk-aware business process management will revolutionise the identification and treatment of risks in business processes by integrating the latest technologies for risk management and process management. It will provide organisations with a range of new tools and techniques for designing, deploying and monitoring risk-aware business processes.
Cost-aware business process management. The project aims to inform business process management (BPM) with the latest insights from the field of management accounting in order to make BPM systems cost-aware. By incorporating the cost dimension, organisations can obtain an accurate and immediate overview of the true cost of their processes and make cost-informed decisions.

Minimising Human Efforts to Fight Fake News and Restore the Public Trust. Our modern society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of online fake news, which is recently driven by misused artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This project aims to build the first real-time system integrating algorithmic models and human validators to counter such falsehoods, especially those AI-fabricated false stories.

Our modern society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of online fake news, which is recently driven by misused artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This project aims to build the first real-time system integrating algorithmic models and human validators to counter such falsehoods, especially those AI-fabricated false stories. This project expects to deliver a series of cost-effective and streaming methods empowering a Web-based observatory dashboard of fake news propagation. This achieves significant benefits for media organisations, governments, the public, and academia via timely alerts, data-journalism reports, and novel data visualisations of social media landscape to distinguish between legitimate and deceptive contents.Read moreRead less
Challenging big data for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. With the advent of big data era, recommender systems are facing unprecedented challenges with respect to the four dimensions of big data: big volume, low veracity, high velocity and high variety. This project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective techniques for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations utilising big data. This project aims to address these challenges to achieve scalable, robust and real-ti ....Challenging big data for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. With the advent of big data era, recommender systems are facing unprecedented challenges with respect to the four dimensions of big data: big volume, low veracity, high velocity and high variety. This project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective techniques for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations utilising big data. This project aims to address these challenges to achieve scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. This project will devise a series of cost-effective machine learning methods and schemes to deliver an end-to-end recommender framework. This project has the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of large-scale recommender systems as well as facilitating an increase in the use of recommendation applications for big data.Read moreRead less
A novel Internet-based clinical trial service. The best way to test whether a clinical treatment intervention is effective is a randomised controlled trial (rct). Rcts are expensive, both in terms of resources and time. The internet may provide a method of conducting rcts which is efficent and provides access to those in remote communities. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of developing a structure for conducting rcts using the internet.
Modelling in the Large. Business modelling supports a variety of approaches, which are currently of significant interest for Australian organisations. This includes business process management, risk management or Enterprise Architecture design. The trend to centralised and integrated business modelling leads to projects with a high number of models, modellers, users, and modelling purposes. This phenomenon is called modelling in the large. The proposed research project explores the major issues ....Modelling in the Large. Business modelling supports a variety of approaches, which are currently of significant interest for Australian organisations. This includes business process management, risk management or Enterprise Architecture design. The trend to centralised and integrated business modelling leads to projects with a high number of models, modellers, users, and modelling purposes. This phenomenon is called modelling in the large. The proposed research project explores the major issues within these projects and develops improved modelling techniques and project management approaches for large modelling initiatives. The outcomes will streamline the design, integration, maintenance and communication of models with a focus on Enterprise Systems.Read moreRead less
Ontologically-based Evaluation, Comparison and Engineering of Integrated Process Modelling Techniques. Integrated process modelling techniques such as UML and ARIS form the conceptual platform for many management and IT projects. Though most IS development tools contain these techniques, anecdotal evidence indicates many shortcomings. This project uses a well-established theory developed in philosophy and applied in information systems domains for the evaluation of these techniques. The expec ....Ontologically-based Evaluation, Comparison and Engineering of Integrated Process Modelling Techniques. Integrated process modelling techniques such as UML and ARIS form the conceptual platform for many management and IT projects. Though most IS development tools contain these techniques, anecdotal evidence indicates many shortcomings. This project uses a well-established theory developed in philosophy and applied in information systems domains for the evaluation of these techniques. The expected outcomes are evaluations of ARIS and UML. Thus, this project contributes to the development of two of the most popular modelling techniques. Based on the theory used and the results of an international empirical study, suggestions for the further development of these techniques will be derived.Read moreRead less

Design of Service Interfaces for e-Business Applications. Economic pressures are rapidly driving businesses towards automation of e-business (electronic business) transactions. Successful e-business relies on accurate interchange of information among large numbers of autonomous partner organizations with different business semantics.

Economic pressures are rapidly driving businesses towards automation of e-business (electronic business) transactions. Successful e-business relies on accurate interchange of information among large numbers of autonomous partner organizations with different business semantics. Web services are widely regarded as having the potential to provide a suitable platform for the implementation of e-business applications, however so far only limited attention was paid to Web services design. The aim of this project is to develop a design method suitable for developing a comprehensive and consistent set of Web services for a given application domain and to verify this method using a prototype implementation.Read moreRead less
Applying Method Engineering Techniques to the Construction of Agile Methodologies. Agile approaches to software development provide flexibility within the method but provide no assistance for improving the selected method. This second kind of flexibility is important to permit organizations to improve with time.

Agile approaches to software development provide flexibility within the method but provide no assistance for improving the selected method. This second kind of flexibility is important to permit organizations to improve with time. To accomplish such improvement, a method engineering approach is proposed for agile method construction using the OPEN Process Framework, which consists of a metamodel and a collection of method components, stored in a repository. In collaboration with Eagle Datamation International, we will devise methods of constructing an agile method tailored to their business needs and then evaluate it in practice, monitoring as the method evolves and improves.Read moreRead less
