Architecture-based Open Network Management Systems for Next Generation Telecommunications. We aim to develop an open, policy-based architecture for the management of next generation telecommunications networks. It is expected that a comprehensive Open Architecture-based Telecommunications Management Network (AuTuMN) framework could be put in place to manage the network based on centralised policies and roles rather than having to handle individual users and elements. Significantly, the scient ....Architecture-based Open Network Management Systems for Next Generation Telecommunications.

It is expected that a comprehensive Open Architecture-based Telecommunications Management Network (AuTuMN) framework could be put in place to manage the network based on centralised policies and roles rather than having to handle individual users and elements. Significantly, the scientific knowledge of open systems and network management systems for next generation networks will be extended.Read moreRead less
Mobile Device Autoconfiguration. Todays cellular networks are built to optimise spectrum efficiency by combining specific codecs and matching bearer services. With general purpose mobile terminals that can access different network types the applications will break this optimisation by using generic codecs. This project aims at solving this problem by letting the access networks configure the terminals with the natively supported codecs and bearer service definitions. The project will lead to con ....Mobile Device Autoconfiguration. Todays cellular networks are built to optimise spectrum efficiency by combining specific codecs and matching bearer services. With general purpose mobile terminals that can access different network types the applications will break this optimisation by using generic codecs. This project aims at solving this problem by letting the access networks configure the terminals with the natively supported codecs and bearer service definitions. The project will lead to considerably higher cost effectiveness in the emerging mobile Internet.Read moreRead less
Data-driven Traffic Analytics for Incident Analysis and Management. Traffic incidents are among the primary concerns of all transport authorities around the world due to their significant impact in terms of traffic congestion and delay, air and noise pollution, and management cost. This project aims to address incident analysis and management in complex and multi-modal traffic networks by combining multidisciplinary research efforts from transportation engineering and data science. The intended ....Data-driven Traffic Analytics for Incident Analysis and Management. Traffic incidents are among the primary concerns of all transport authorities around the world due to their significant impact in terms of traffic congestion and delay, air and noise pollution, and management cost. This project aims to address incident analysis and management in complex and multi-modal traffic networks by combining multidisciplinary research efforts from transportation engineering and data science. The intended outcomes will be an innovative incident analysis and management framework synergising traffic data analytics and traffic simulation modelling as well as its key enabling techniques and prototype systems. This will significantly help mitigate incident impacts on daily commuters.Read moreRead less
Distributed Data Processing for Wireless Sensor Networks. This project falls within the national research priorities of Frontier Technologies for building and transforming Australian Industries, and will provide Australian companies with state-of-the-art technology in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Australia's priorities are mainly in sustainable environment, health maintenance, and home-land security. Any application in these priority areas that uses our system will have less maintenance costs ....Distributed Data Processing for Wireless Sensor Networks. This project falls within the national research priorities of Frontier Technologies for building and transforming Australian Industries, and will provide Australian companies with state-of-the-art technology in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Australia's priorities are mainly in sustainable environment, health maintenance, and home-land security. Any application in these priority areas that uses our system will have less maintenance costs and a significantly longer lifetime.
This project will generate numerous articles in first-class journals and conferences and will contribute to the strength of Australian Research in sensor technologies and ICT. Read moreRead less
Multimedia content distribution over multihop broadband wireless networks. Multihop Wireless Networks are an ideal medium for Australia where low rural densities require both low set-up costs and environmentally robust infrastructure. Fundamental improvements to multihop wireless protocols will transform their current limited deployment, making them available to more Australians. This project will place Australia in the forefront of wireless network research and can strengthen the competitiv ....Multimedia content distribution over multihop broadband wireless networks.

Uncertain Information Processing for Situation Awareness and Dynamic Decision-Making in Emergency Management. The Australian national counter-terrorism committee indicates that Australia should have a strong intelligence-led prevention and preparedness to support Australia on risk management, emergency services and maintaining capabilities to manage various types of terrorist attacks. The proposed situation awareness support technique can be used to develop situation analysis software systems or ....Uncertain Information Processing for Situation Awareness and Dynamic Decision-Making in Emergency Management. The Australian national counter-terrorism committee indicates that Australia should have a strong intelligence-led prevention and preparedness to support Australia on risk management, emergency services and maintaining capabilities to manage various types of terrorist attacks. The proposed situation awareness support technique can be used to develop situation analysis software systems or directly support Australia government agencies and industries to correctly assess a situation, increase awareness for crisis problems, and therefore improve emergency management and decision-making effectiveness, in particular, for avoiding disaster problems in the first place and preparing plans for those that undoubtedly will occur.

A Comprehensive Platform for Dynamic Decision Support in Warning Systems through Better Management of Uncertain Information. Public and individual warning systems are installed widely in Australia for emergency situations such as fire, terrorist attack, tsunami, and financial risk. The developed platform with its uncertain information management and dynamic decision support software will directly assist Australian government agencies, industries, and professional officers responsible for public ....A Comprehensive Platform for Dynamic Decision Support in Warning Systems through Better Management of Uncertain Information. Public and individual warning systems are installed widely in Australia for emergency situations such as fire, terrorist attack, tsunami, and financial risk. The developed platform with its uncertain information management and dynamic decision support software will directly assist Australian government agencies, industries, and professional officers responsible for public warning systems by improving the reliability of generated warnings, effective design of any new warning system, and accurate decision making in responding threats. It will also greatly contribute to the processing of uncertain information in other organizational information systems, and enhance training exercise facilities in complex emergency environments.Read moreRead less
