Visual interaction methods for clustered graphs. This project aims to improve human understanding of huge network data sets, such as those arising in social networks, biological networks, and very large software structures. The project will enable analysts to explore and interact with such data sets, leading to better understanding.
Multivariate Algorithmics: Meeting the Challenge of Real World computational complexity. This Project will result in better methods for designing the algorithms that all computer applications depend on. Algorithms are the instruction sets that tell computers how to process information. Some information processing tasks are intrinsically difficult, even for computers working at enormous speeds. This Project will deliver new mathematical approaches to overcome these difficulties.

This Project will result in better methods for designing the algorithms that all computer applications depend on. Algorithms are the instruction sets that tell computers how to process information. Some information processing tasks are intrinsically difficult, even for computers working at enormous speeds. This Project will deliver new mathematical approaches to overcome these difficulties. More efficient algorithmic approaches for difficult problems enable advances in all areas of computer applications such as medical diagnosis and health prediction, national security, communications efficiency, industrial productivity and all fields of science and engineering.Read moreRead less
Local reoptimization for turbocharging heuristics. Theoretical computer science has up until now had little impact on the design of effective heuristics. While data sets may be large, significant structure is almost always present and important to take into account when designing algorithms. Parameterised complexity considers the underlying structure by parameterising not only on the size of the input but also on structural parameters. This project aims to take advantage of the many opportunitie ....Local reoptimization for turbocharging heuristics. Theoretical computer science has up until now had little impact on the design of effective heuristics. While data sets may be large, significant structure is almost always present and important to take into account when designing algorithms. Parameterised complexity considers the underlying structure by parameterising not only on the size of the input but also on structural parameters. This project aims to take advantage of the many opportunities for new theories in the design of new heuristics and in turbocharging existing heuristics for computationally hard problems.Read moreRead less

Summary
Universal solution for scheduling problems. The aim of this project is to design efficient algorithms that compute universal solutions for scheduling on an unreliable machine. Such solutions are specially suitable for situations where machines can behave unpredictably, such as scheduling in cloud computing.
Algorithmics for visual analytics of massive complex networks. The project will provide new scalable algorithms for visual analytics of massive complex networks. These fast algorithms will enable security analysts to detect abnormal behaviours such as money laundering, biologists to understand protein-protein interaction networks, and support software engineers new ways of understanding large software systems.
Algorithms for geometric Turán-type problems and network visualization. Recent technological advances have large data sets, in a data deluge. Some of the most critical data sets are networks; examples abound in Systems Biology, Social Network Analysis, and Software Engineering. This project aims for algorithms to construct readable pictures of these networks, and thus make the data easier for humans to understand.
Parameterized Algorithm Design and Complexity Analysis: New Methods and Strategic Applications in the FPT Algorithmic Server Project. A fundamental discovery of the first decades of computer science is that completely efficient (polynomial time) algorithms probably do not exist for thousands of natural computational problems. The project will result in new methods for designing and analyzing algorithms for hard problems with natural parameters, and in improved
algorithms for these problems.
Numerically Robust Extruder Die Design for Fabricating High-Quality Preforms for Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres. Microstructural polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) were pioneered in Australia, are now comparable in performance (but much more versatile) than conventional polymer fibre, and are a highly attractive commercial option. Potential industrial applications envisage cost-effective preform fabrication as a key issue, with extrusion as the favoured route. This interdisciplinary project ....Numerically Robust Extruder Die Design for Fabricating High-Quality Preforms for Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres. Microstructural polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) were pioneered in Australia, are now comparable in performance (but much more versatile) than conventional polymer fibre, and are a highly attractive commercial option. Potential industrial applications envisage cost-effective preform fabrication as a key issue, with extrusion as the favoured route. This interdisciplinary project benefits Australia by (i) extending and exploiting our research advantages in advanced photonics and computational rheology, (ii) providing the 'missing link' for large-scale mPOF production and positioning us to reap the economic benefits of this innovative technology, and (iii) providing computational techniques for rheological modelling that are applicable in diverse Australian industry sectors.Read moreRead less
Approximate algorithms and architectures for area efficient system design. This project aims to develop simpler but reliable image recognition systems that can run on low-cost, small-scale platforms, for use in driver monitoring system (DMS) applications.
