This project will develop a global model for healthcare based on the groundbreaking Protocol Hypothesis Testing (PHT) system, allowing expert groups of clinicians to create and share knowledge across organizations. The PHT is a unique functioning knowledge management system that allows clinicians to record patient and treatment data as it is generated in clinical practice and applies scientific methods to generate clinical knowledge, all in real-time. The project will develop and test a framework for the PHT system to be used cooperatively by expert groups across virtual organizations, refining the PHT system in the process.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.

Scalable Composition and Deployment of Business-to-Business Web-based E-Services. The ubiquity of the Internet offers far reaching opportunities for
emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible
services (e-services) in a systematic manner which make them easy to compose and deploy. Our research proposes to address the fundamental issue ....Scalable Composition and Deployment of Business-to-Business Web-based E-Services. The ubiquity of the Internet offers far reaching opportunities for
emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible
services (e-services) in a systematic manner which make them easy to compose and deploy. Our research proposes to address the fundamental issues related to fast and scalable composition of e-services in Web-based environments. We propose novel concepts for integrating a large number of dynamic and loosely coupled services. Another distinctive feature of our approach is the peer-to-peer collaborative execution of services.Read moreRead less
Real-time and self-adaptive stream data analyser for intensive care management. The clinical benefit of this project will be in improved success rates and reduced mortality and risk in surgery and intensive care units. The Information and communication technology (ICT) benefit of this project is associated with the novel online algorithms and models aligned with the stream data research, and will be enhanced by our stream compression techniques. The stream data analyser developed in this projec ....Real-time and self-adaptive stream data analyser for intensive care management. The clinical benefit of this project will be in improved success rates and reduced mortality and risk in surgery and intensive care units. The Information and communication technology (ICT) benefit of this project is associated with the novel online algorithms and models aligned with the stream data research, and will be enhanced by our stream compression techniques. The stream data analyser developed in this project will be suitable for more than medical surveillance data; it will also improve the processing of other kinds of massive stream data (for example data from remote sensors, communication networks and other dynamic environments). The project involves a scientifically rich collaboration that will enhance the skills of PhD students and staff and drive the field forward.Read moreRead less
Development of methods to address internet crime. If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crimes more effectively and efficiently. It will also limit the damage caused by Internet crimes quickly. For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. I ....Development of methods to address internet crime.

For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. If we can quickly identify and block a harmful phishing site, then less innocent people will be deceived into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords or other sensitive information.Read moreRead less
Enhancing privacy preserving in dynamic cyberspace. This project aims to develop a novel infrastructure operational monitoring and management strategy to reduce the redundant maintenance actions and achieve a cost-effective approach for civil infrastructure asset management. The project will use multiple social networks as a platform for the project, with the potential for the results to be extended to any dynamic cyberspace. Project outcomes will include a set of new analysis theories and tools ....Enhancing privacy preserving in dynamic cyberspace. This project aims to develop a novel infrastructure operational monitoring and management strategy to reduce the redundant maintenance actions and achieve a cost-effective approach for civil infrastructure asset management. The project will use multiple social networks as a platform for the project, with the potential for the results to be extended to any dynamic cyberspace.
