Unlocking benefits from digital investments. This project aims to address one of the most vexing questions in the management of information systems: how to unlock the value of digital investments. The project expects to develop new theory and evidence on how to achieve meaningful use of information systems at multiple levels of analysis.

This project aims to address one of the most vexing questions in the management of information systems: how to unlock the value of digital investments. The project expects to develop new theory and evidence on how to achieve meaningful use of information systems at multiple levels of analysis. The project will especially benefit the health sector, and society, by helping health providers and vendors to maximise the value obtained from substantial investment in digital technologies, and by developing evidence-based policies to optimise digital service delivery.Read moreRead less

Summary
Mechanisms for Ultra-secure Access to Large Repositories of Sensitive Data over the Grid. Large repositories of data that are typically geographically distributed and are subject to varying degrees of legal and ethical constraints are not available for open scientific research due to the sensitive and private nature of the information they contain, e.g. personal health records offer significant value for medical research, but are not readily available due to privacy legislation and the requireme ....Mechanisms for Ultra-secure Access to Large Repositories of Sensitive Data over the Grid. Large repositories of data that are typically geographically distributed and are subject to varying degrees of legal and ethical constraints are not available for open scientific research due to the sensitive and private nature of the information they contain, e.g. personal health records offer significant value for medical research, but are not readily available due to privacy legislation and the requirement to maintain end-user’s trust in healthcare information system. This project will build a demonstrator, based upon advanced cryptographic and information research and technologies to provide ultra-secure and sanitized access to this data via a data network grid.Read moreRead less
Trusted business processes. This project aims to use conceptual design, process modelling and co-design approaches to create a structured approach for the management of trust. With a focus on business processes, it is intended to develop research- informed methods in order to (1) identify and specify trust concerns and opportunities, (2) model these within a common process modelling language and (3) propose patterns for how to mitigate trust concerns and how to benefit from opportunities. If suc ....Trusted business processes. This project aims to use conceptual design, process modelling and co-design approaches to create a structured approach for the management of trust. With a focus on business processes, it is intended to develop research- informed methods in order to (1) identify and specify trust concerns and opportunities, (2) model these within a common process modelling language and (3) propose patterns for how to mitigate trust concerns and how to benefit from opportunities. If successful, this would lead to an operational, and world first, detailed trust methodology for organisations in all sectors. As a result, Australian customers would engage with business processes with reduced trust concerns and experience increased integrity and benevolence.Read moreRead less
View-based processing of pattern matching queries in large graphs. Graph data exist ubiquitously in modern information systems. Graph pattern matching (GPM) finds parts of the data graph that match a given pattern. It has applications in many areas including knowledge discovery, public health, and crime detection. This project will develop novel techniques for the efficient processing of GPM queries in large graphs.
PreferPeer: Towards Efficient Location-aware Preference Search in Mobile Peer-to-Peer Databases. Our research is right in the forefront of ICT research, leading the international effort of extending database technologies to support data management and query processing in very large scale highly mobile data. The proposed PreferPeer stands to open up major research directions in mobile point-to-point computing. Advances in this project will bring significant economic and social benefits to Austral ....PreferPeer: Towards Efficient Location-aware Preference Search in Mobile Peer-to-Peer Databases. Our research is right in the forefront of ICT research, leading the international effort of extending database technologies to support data management and query processing in very large scale highly mobile data. The proposed PreferPeer stands to open up major research directions in mobile point-to-point computing. Advances in this project will bring significant economic and social benefits to Australia. The research outcome of this project will directly benefit the following sectors: telecommunications, transportation, supply chain management, logistics, mobile computing, mobile e-commerce and marketing, air traffic control, defence, and so on, where efficient access to large amounts of highly mobile and distributed information is vital.Read moreRead less
A New Paradigm for Understanding and Improving the Effective Use of Information Systems in Organisations. In an information-based economy, the critical issue for many organisations is how to leverage their information systems effectively. Remarkably, there is almost no detailed research on this topic. This project will address this problem by building a new paradigm for research on the effective use of information systems in organisations. It will involve developing and testing two complementa ....A New Paradigm for Understanding and Improving the Effective Use of Information Systems in Organisations. In an information-based economy, the critical issue for many organisations is how to leverage their information systems effectively. Remarkably, there is almost no detailed research on this topic. This project will address this problem by building a new paradigm for research on the effective use of information systems in organisations. It will involve developing and testing two complementary theories of effective use and designing and testing a novel intervention to facilitate more effective use in an organisation. To maximise academic and practical value, it involves a rigorous program of empirical work in the information-intensive industries of Healthcare and Information Systems Auditing in Australia and Canada.

Service Ecosystems Management for Collaborative Process Improvement. Australian government agencies currently explore opportunities for streamlining their business processes. A promising approach relates to the improvement of cross-agency processes based on service-enabled technologies. This project will use requirements within Queensland Government for the design of a service ecosystem and methodological and management concepts to derive a general framework for intra-organisational ecosystems. ....Service Ecosystems Management for Collaborative Process Improvement. Australian government agencies currently explore opportunities for streamlining their business processes. A promising approach relates to the improvement of cross-agency processes based on service-enabled technologies. This project will use requirements within Queensland Government for the design of a service ecosystem and methodological and management concepts to derive a general framework for intra-organisational ecosystems. Though the focus will be on government processes, the project will generalise beyond this scope for a wider uptake of service ecosystems in Australian organisations. This will lead to reduced process costs and risks and will leverage the exploration of new revenue streams, e.g. shared services and reward schemes.Read moreRead less
