Cold catalysis for water splitting. This project aims to develop photocatalysts via AC magnetic field through nanoscale heating for efficient H2 generation. This project is to introduce cold catalysis concept, which heats catalysts only but not solution, thus called cold catalysis, in the area of production of renewable energy. Expected outcome is the creation of clean and low cost catalysts to effectively harvest the chemical energy from the sun via splitting of water into H2 and O2 without cau ....Cold catalysis for water splitting. This project aims to develop photocatalysts via AC magnetic field through nanoscale heating for efficient H2 generation. This project is to introduce cold catalysis concept, which heats catalysts only but not solution, thus called cold catalysis, in the area of production of renewable energy. Expected outcome is the creation of clean and low cost catalysts to effectively harvest the chemical energy from the sun via splitting of water into H2 and O2 without causing any environmental damage. This unique technology will also help to address clean energy generation, which is in line with H2 economy plan by Australia government, and provide opportunities for new industries that will benefit Australian economy.Read moreRead less

Information practices in non-profits: Knowledge management & technology use. This project aims to study the potential for nonprofit organisations (NPOs) to adopt low-cost tools (eg social media) for knowledge sharing. It plans to use an innovative qualitative design combining expertise in knowledge management, information behaviour and web usability to explore how NPOs manage knowledge to support their mission as they adopt emerging technologies. In an increasingly competitive environment, NPOs ....Information practices in non-profits: Knowledge management & technology use. This project aims to study the potential for nonprofit organisations (NPOs) to adopt low-cost tools (eg social media) for knowledge sharing. It plans to use an innovative qualitative design combining expertise in knowledge management, information behaviour and web usability to explore how NPOs manage knowledge to support their mission as they adopt emerging technologies. In an increasingly competitive environment, NPOs must maximise productivity by using low-cost, appropriate technologies. Results may inform the design of new tools and staff training to support NPOs’ goals.Read moreRead less
Reputation-based Trust Framework for Composed Services.

This project aims at providing a uniform and efficient framework for bootstrapping, establishing, and propagating reputation in composed Web services. Reputation is used as a key criterion for establishing trust among composed Web services. Web services are de-facto the technology of choice for the deployment of an increasing number of Web-based solutions for such emerging applications as cloud computing. Because of the distributed and decentralised nature of the Web, there is a need to establish a trust framework for selecting and composing Web services. The key parameter will be based on Web service reputation in delivering services.Read moreRead less

Data structures which change with time, a machine learning approach. Visibility of web pages, based on page importance, on the Internet controls their accessibility by users which is critical for e-Commerce applications. The page importance depends on its contents and its link structure to other web pages, both of which can be time varying. This project proposes a novel model in which time varying aspects of the changes to contents and their link structures are captured, thus allowing us a bette ....Data structures which change with time, a machine learning approach.

The page importance depends on its contents and its link structure to other web pages, both of which can be time varying. This project proposes a novel model in which time varying aspects of the changes to contents and their link structures are captured, thus allowing us a better understanding of how these influence the page importance over time. It will also allow us insight on how to improve the visibility of web pages.Read moreRead less
