This project will develop, implement and validate improved methods for automated deduction in decidable fragments of first order logic, also incorporating reasoning in special theories such as arithmetic. It will significantly extend previous work on the model evolution calculus and dynamic semantic resolution, and introduce new techniques that combine these reasoning methods. This work has direct application to reasoning about business rules and about industrial optimisation problems, and it will motivate and test our systems by means of case studies from both of these areas.Read moreRead less
User-task co-adaptation for effective interactive simulation environments. This project aims to deliver smart interactive simulation environments in which users and simulation tasks work together. This project aims to create novel adaptive algorithms to automatically discover those user and task features that vary together to smartly adapt users and simulation tasks to work together harmoniously, seamlessly and effectively. Interactive simulation environments are the backbone for evaluating conc ....User-task co-adaptation for effective interactive simulation environments. This project aims to deliver smart interactive simulation environments in which users and simulation tasks work together. This project aims to create novel adaptive algorithms to automatically discover those user and task features that vary together to smartly adapt users and simulation tasks to work together harmoniously, seamlessly and effectively. Interactive simulation environments are the backbone for evaluating concepts, designs, products and advanced training systems in industry and government organisations. By bringing the user naturally inside the simulation as a task's component, users can improve their experience while task performance is simultaneously optimised. Intended outcomes include novel dynamic user-task profiling algorithms and new adaptive algorithms for user-task co-adaptation. Practical outcomes may include robust and highly effective simulation environments.Read moreRead less
Building Australia's next-generation ocean-sea ice model. Ocean and sea ice models are used for predicting future ocean and climate states, and for climate process research. This project aims to bring the next generation of ocean-sea ice models to Australia and configure the models for our local priorities. The ultimate goal is to create a new coupled ocean-sea ice model for Australia that includes surface waves and biogeochemistry.

Ocean and sea ice models are used for predicting future ocean and climate states, and for climate process research. This project aims to bring the next generation of ocean-sea ice models to Australia and configure the models for our local priorities. The ultimate goal is to create a new coupled ocean-sea ice model for Australia that includes surface waves and biogeochemistry. The model will be optimised and evaluated on Australian facilities, and released for community use. These developments underpin future ocean state forecasts, sea ice forecasts, wave forecasts, decadal climate prediction and climate process studies. The project will benefit search and rescue, Defence and shipping operations, and will enhance future climate projections.Read moreRead less
The formation of stars and planets. This project will identify the mechanisms that create stars and planets, providing a sound basis for studying the birth of planetary systems with next-generation telescopes. It will maintain Australia's position at the forefront of astronomy and the advanced computational methods we shall develop will have applications in many other fields.
Learning Software Security Analysers with Imperfect Data. This project aims to systematically investigate next-generation learning-based software security analysis to detect vulnerabilities in real-world large-scale software. The expected learning-based foundation will support the handling of imperfect data in order to provide a precise, scalable and adaptive security analysis of the critical software components, thus capturing important security vulnerabilities missed by existing approaches.

The expected learning-based foundation will support the handling of imperfect data in order to provide a precise, scalable and adaptive security analysis of the critical software components, thus capturing important security vulnerabilities missed by existing approaches. The success of this project will further enhance the international competitiveness of Australian research in this important field and will benefit any Australian industry and business where software systems are deeply-rooted, such as transportation, smart homes, medical devices, defence and finance.Read moreRead less
Credential Systems and Their Applications in Securing Electronic Health Records. The expected result of this project will be frontier technologies that are essential in applications and services, whose acceptance and take-up will depend on users' assurance of their security in the cyber world. In particular, a service such as the EHR system, which is known to be a complex system, requires the use of new and innovative credential-based systems. The result will also contribute to maintaining Austr ....Credential Systems and Their Applications in Securing Electronic Health Records. The expected result of this project will be frontier technologies that are essential in applications and services, whose acceptance and take-up will depend on users' assurance of their security in the cyber world. In particular, a service such as the EHR system, which is known to be a complex system, requires the use of new and innovative credential-based systems. The result will also contribute to maintaining Australia's leading position in the telecommunication and information technology industries, which has been recognised by increased government funding levels. The resulting applications of this project will place Australia as the first country able to design and implement a secure EHR system.Read moreRead less
