Improving provision of a document store as a service in a public cloud. This project aims to develop a model of document-oriented database correctness and performance that can be applied to cloud-hosted clusters. Many modern web applications rely on document-oriented databases hosted on clusters of virtualised servers from commercial cloud providers. Developers make difficult deployment decisions, such as how to combine data sharding and replication to meet service requirements without any guidance on the degree of precision. This research will allow developers and database administrators to predict how systems will behave in conditions difficult to simulate directly. Ultimately, this is expected to improve the quality and efficiency of services built using document databases.Read moreRead less
A data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering. This project aims to design and develop a data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering that allows system engineers and domain experts in different domains to build software systems easily in order to enable fast technology transfer within and across domain boundaries. This model integrates and automates a suite of efficient approaches for system structure determination, validation and recommendation based on keyword ....A data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering. This project aims to design and develop a data driven paradigm for service-oriented system engineering that allows system engineers and domain experts in different domains to build software systems easily in order to enable fast technology transfer within and across domain boundaries. This model integrates and automates a suite of efficient approaches for system structure determination, validation and recommendation based on keyword search, subgraph isomorphism and substructure query techniques. This project is expected to significantly accelerate the application of new technologies, for example, big data analytics and Internet of Things, in many of Australia's critical domains such as e-Health, smart cities, and cybersecurity.Read moreRead less
Secure and efficient data leak prevention on cloud. The leak of sensitive data on cloud not only poses serious threats to both public and private organisations but also puts their employees and clients at risk, e.g., economic loss and social impact. The aim of this project is to develop a secure and efficient solution that can detect and prevent leak of data in real-time. Uniquely, the proposed research will develop novel techniques that can monitor data leak security incidents happening over ti ....Secure and efficient data leak prevention on cloud. The leak of sensitive data on cloud not only poses serious threats to both public and private organisations but also puts their employees and clients at risk, e.g., economic loss and social impact. The aim of this project is to develop a secure and efficient solution that can detect and prevent leak of data in real-time. Uniquely, the proposed research will develop novel techniques that can monitor data leak security incidents happening over time and captured by different sensors and identify correlations between historic security incidents and current data attacks. This project will significantly help to secure data on cloud for organisations in Australia and benefit fast-growing security sensitive data hosting and applications on cloud.Read moreRead less
Next-generation spatial keyword search. Spatial keyword search is like a normal web search plus additional location information, which helps users to obtain a better ranking of results by considering the spatial proximity. The success of this project will deliver a next-generation spatial keyword search system that overcomes the severe usability limitations experienced by users today.
Smart comparison and assessment of prediction models for better health using next generation data mining. Prediction models can be used to provide early warning of events, such as adverse medical outcomes. This project will develop principles for the smart management of large collections of prediction models using data mining, enabling more timely medical interventions for Australians to live healthier and longer.
Continuous process improvement through workstation feedback for General Practice medicine using experts-in-the-loop data mining. This project investigates the iterative use of data mining results to allow experts to construct feedback to influence subsequent production work.

This project investigates the iterative use of data mining results to allow experts to construct feedback to influence subsequent production work. We explore the problem in the context of General Practice medicine by having General Practitioners (GPs) review emerging patterns from their own practice's electronic medical records and author feedback to discourage undesirable patterns. The work will have immediate applicability to medical practice and will drive innovation in data mining method, notably for efficient identification of temporal and complex niche patterns. More broadly, the work will extend the way data mining is used to create new expectations of workstation behaviour.Read moreRead less
Efficient databases for flash memory. This project will bring significant benefits to Australia. It will place Australia at the fore-front of the emerging field of flash memory databases. The lack of prior research in this field, coupled with the significant performance benefits of flash memory, means this project will make significant breakthroughs in this frontier technology.

This project will bring significant benefits to Australia. It will place Australia at the fore-front of the emerging field of flash memory databases. The lack of prior research in this field, coupled with the significant performance benefits of flash memory, means this project will make significant breakthroughs in this frontier technology. The algorithms developed will be directly incorporated into a state-of-the-art open source database and disseminated throughout the international community, thereby boosting Australia's international research reputation. The database developed will significantly increase the speed of large database servers as well as bring significant energy savings to databases running on small portable devices.Read moreRead less
Fast, practical and effective algorithms for clustering with advice. To maintain a safe and healthy society, government and industry need high quality immunization and national security databases. Since we cannot afford to have duplicate, incomplete and conflicting records that refer to the same person, we unify them by identifying clusters of related records.

To maintain a safe and healthy society, government and industry need high quality immunization and national security databases. Since we cannot afford to have duplicate, incomplete and conflicting records that refer to the same person, we unify them by identifying clusters of related records.
In the emerging field of functional genomics, diagnosis of certain diseases is enhanced by determining which genes act together. Different experimental runs might result in different clusterings of genes: we need one consensus clustering that summarizes the experimental outcomes.
Cleaning databases and combining clusterings by hand would require vast amounts of time. This project will result in faster and more accurate computational procedures.Read moreRead less
