Summary
ARC Training Centre for Information Resilience. The proposed centre aims at building workforce capacity in Australian organisations to create, protect and sustain agile data pipelines, capable of detecting and responding to failures and risks across the information value chain in which the data is sourced, shared, transformed, analysed and consumed. Building on strong foundations of responsible data science, the centre will bring together end-users, technology providers, and cutting-edge researc ....ARC Training Centre for Information Resilience. The proposed centre aims at building workforce capacity in Australian organisations to create, protect and sustain agile data pipelines, capable of detecting and responding to failures and risks across the information value chain in which the data is sourced, shared, transformed, analysed and consumed. Building on strong foundations of responsible data science, the centre will bring together end-users, technology providers, and cutting-edge research, to lift the socio-technical barriers to data driven transformation and develop resilient data pipelines capable of delivering game-changing productivity gains that position Australian organisations at the forefront of technology leadership and value creation from data assets.

A Theory of Innovation Systems. The goal of the project is to develop and validate a new theory for how information systems can be designed to assist organisations in becoming innovative. Technological innovation is designed to increase productivity and economic growth, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of ‘innovation systems’ that would describe design pri ....A Theory of Innovation Systems. The goal of the project is to develop and validate a new theory for how information systems can be designed to assist organisations in becoming innovative. Technological innovation is designed to increase productivity and economic growth, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of ‘innovation systems’ that would describe design principles for information systems that provide effective and efficient support to organisational innovation processes. The expected project outcomes would assist the development of new systems to support organisational innovations, the management of innovation initiatives to increase productivity and growth, and the effective assessment of technologies to support innovation.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
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.

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
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. The project will especially benefit the health sector, and society, by helping health providers and vendors to maximise the value obtained from substantial inve ....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. 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
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

Using Measures of Ontological Distance to Evaluate the Alignment between Organizational Needs and Enterprise Systems Capabilities. Enterprise Systems (ES) packages are software systems that seek to provide their organizational users with comprehensive, integrated support for their information system needs.

Enterprise Systems (ES) packages are software systems that seek to provide their organizational users with comprehensive, integrated support for their information system needs. The development, implementation, operation, support, maintenance, and upgrade of enterprise systems is a multi-billion dollar industry. This industry is replete with stories of high-cost problems. Many of these problems arise because the business models embedded within ES packages do not align with the needs of their users. This project develops a methodology and measures to evaluate how well the business models embedded in an ES package meet user needs.Read moreRead less
