Summary
Network on Control, Dynamics and Systems (NCDS). Control systems theory provides principles and methods for design of complex engineering systems that automatically maintain desired performance despite changes in their environment (e.g. autopilot in an aircraft). This field is facing many new exciting challenges at the dawn of new millenium, such as design of complex engineering systems in possibly networked, asynchronous and distributed environments. The network will play a major role in addres ....Network on Control, Dynamics and Systems (NCDS). Control systems theory provides principles and methods for design of complex engineering systems that automatically maintain desired performance despite changes in their environment (e.g. autopilot in an aircraft). This field is facing many new exciting challenges at the dawn of new millenium, such as design of complex engineering systems in possibly networked, asynchronous and distributed environments. The network will play a major role in addressing these challenges by providing a national research focus, facilitating collaboration and the sharing of people and ideas. By delivering a National Graduate School, the network will enhance learning conditions for graduate students. Moreover, it will provide an important catalyst between Australian universities and industry. This initiative will be essential in assessing the present state of control research in Australia and drafting a detailed plan for the network's leading research role in the future.

Techniques based on hypergeometric series lie at the heart of an exciting and rapidly developing class of mathematical methods, with applications to many areas of science and engineering, such as computer science, statistics, physics, chemistry and biology.
In the past decades Australia has been at the forefront of important developments in the field, and this proposal serves to further strengthen the country's leading reputation.
Many of the modern methods in the theory require expertise in mathematics as well as a high level of programming skills. This combination provides a unique training ground for higher degree students aiming at careers in financial mathematics, weather/climate forecasting and internet security.

The arithmetic of supersingular elliptic curves. The proposed research will have substantial benefits both in the area of pure mathematics, and to the standing of number theory within Australia generally. If successful, the investigators envisage: - fundamental advances in the study of both elliptic curves and modular forms; - key progress in our understanding of the final Millenium Prize Problem in Mathematics; - academic software to compute special values of L-functions; - applications to com ....The arithmetic of supersingular elliptic curves.
