Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software control. The test bed will empower Australian researchers in network technologies and dependent applications (for example, multimedia and security) to collaboratively develop and demonstrate novel ideas at scale. This is expected to benefit Australia by giving our researchers international recognition in this nascent area, and developing a national talent pool for local industry.Read moreRead less
Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.

Summary
100 Gbit to 1 Terabit per second optical communication test bed facility. This facility will develop and demonstrate novel optical technologies that will underpin the generation and transmission of a higher-speed Ethernet at 100 Gb/s to 1Terabit/s, and will lead to better broadband and more energy efficient internet. At the foundation of this research will be a test bed with multiple signal sources at data rates above 50 Gbaud.
ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems. The Centre will take the next big step in optical systems by transforming photonic integrated circuits into a technology that will have a profound effect on economies and lifestyles around the world. This will enable the Internet to transfer vast amounts of data with significantly improved energy efficiency; it will lead to secure transmission using quantum photonics-based devices, and to the detection of mid-infrared ....ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems. The Centre will take the next big step in optical systems by transforming photonic integrated circuits into a technology that will have a profound effect on economies and lifestyles around the world. This will enable the Internet to transfer vast amounts of data with significantly improved energy efficiency; it will lead to secure transmission using quantum photonics-based devices, and to the detection of mid-infrared signatures of light from distant stars and complex molecules of environmental or biochemical importance. We will achieve this by developing new materials with optical properties to control light and engineering them into miniature photonic processors.Read moreRead less
Optimum cross-layer design in wireless communication systems with channel uncertainty. For wireless communications to be part of Australia's information delivery infrastructure, including the National Broadband Network, requires improvements in reliability, speed and cost effectiveness over current technologies. The assembled world class research team has the objective to develop advanced design techniques to meet this challenge.
Realizable Synchronization Techniques: Unlocking the Potential of Future Wireless Networks. Wireless networks are undergoing an exciting paradigm shift from carefully planned cellular networks to heterogeneous networks (coexistence of a multitude of base stations of different types), where users may also be equipped with wireless energy harvesting capability.

Wireless networks are undergoing an exciting paradigm shift from carefully planned cellular networks to heterogeneous networks (coexistence of a multitude of base stations of different types), where users may also be equipped with wireless energy harvesting capability. A fundamental requirement of these next generation technologies is the need to achieve synchronisation among the different base stations and mobile users. This project will develop the fundamental theory and advanced synchronisation techniques for future wireless networks. The expected outcomes will enable wireless networks to meet the increasing demand for higher data rates and extend the battery life of mobile users, benefitting the consumers and the Australian economy.Read moreRead less
Place and displacement in Aboriginal Australia: a Warlpiri visual cultural enquiry. At a time of social turbulence and hyper-mobility, this project examines Aboriginal people’s transforming relationships to place. From ancestral places to the nation and beyond, it analyses how Warlpiri people of central Australia have pictured themselves in the world. Spanning sixty years of dynamic visual production, this project explores relationships between modes of governance, cultures of seeing, and Warlpi ....Place and displacement in Aboriginal Australia: a Warlpiri visual cultural enquiry. At a time of social turbulence and hyper-mobility, this project examines Aboriginal people’s transforming relationships to place. From ancestral places to the nation and beyond, it analyses how Warlpiri people of central Australia have pictured themselves in the world. Spanning sixty years of dynamic visual production, this project explores relationships between modes of governance, cultures of seeing, and Warlpiri creative practices. It uniquely blends anthropology with analytic insights from visual studies and history. Utilising rich visual materials, research outputs will include innovative exhibitions and offer fresh perspectives on protracted national debates about the future of remote Aboriginal communities.Read moreRead less

Signal Processing for Reconfigurable Antennas – a Multidisciplinary Approach for Next Generation Wireless Communications. To satisfy the enormous demand for wireless applications with scarce radio spectrum, new technologies must be researched, developed, and then employed. Reconfigurable antennas, through morphing their physical structures with various switches, can adapt to the radio propagation environment, thereby increasing spectrum efficiency and power efficiency of wireless communications. ....Signal Processing for Reconfigurable Antennas – a Multidisciplinary Approach for Next Generation Wireless Communications.

This project aims to propose novel privacy preserving schemes that can protect the privacy of individuals in the era of Internet of things and machine learning. In the recent years, most Australian organizations have been a target of privacy and cybersecurity attacks, affecting their data and network systems. The expected outcomes of this project are privacy preserving schemes that can prevent attackers from compromising the private information of individuals in IoT and machine learning services, and thus significantly improve the protection against cybersecurity attacks. Significant benefits in social wellbeing and security are expected for all industry, government, and service sectors that collect data about people.Read moreRead less
