Summary
Australian e-Research Grid. The e-Research Grid program will research and implement core Grid technologies on APAC and partner's deployed HPC resources, to underpin a broad range of Australian research. The computer science CIs will form collaborative links with international programs, adapting developments to local circumstances. The applications-domain CIs will leverage those into their scientific simulations and databases, using grid integrative techniques and portals. Many CIs participate in ....Australian e-Research Grid. The e-Research Grid program will research and implement core Grid technologies on APAC and partner's deployed HPC resources, to underpin a broad range of Australian research. The computer science CIs will form collaborative links with international programs, adapting developments to local circumstances. The applications-domain CIs will leverage those into their scientific simulations and databases, using grid integrative techniques and portals. Many CIs participate in other RNs linking to their motivating applications, enhancing prospects for research and integration. They participate in the APAC Grid program, leveraging 75 HPC staff nationally. A key aim is interoperability with "real-world Grids": eg e-learning & e-health programs.Read moreRead less
Overcoming Resistance to the Introduction of a Health Informatics System in General Practice Medicine. This project takes as its starting point the investigation of why medical practitioners in a rural community have been resistant to adopt a community based health information system designed to routinely collect, analyse and disseminate information regarding patient treatment. The project seeks to identify the deeper reasons for the resistance through analysis of the broader context of informat ....Overcoming Resistance to the Introduction of a Health Informatics System in General Practice Medicine. This project takes as its starting point the investigation of why medical practitioners in a rural community have been resistant to adopt a community based health information system designed to routinely collect, analyse and disseminate information regarding patient treatment. The project seeks to identify the deeper reasons for the resistance through analysis of the broader context of information systems in General Practice Medicine, with particular attention to the way Government health informatics initiatives fit with professional and practical priorities. The project will develop guidelines for acceptability of systems in this context and contribute to the broader knowledge management literature.Read moreRead less
Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas w ....Strategic Business Principles for the Economic Development of New Technologies in Regional Areas. The City of Onkaparinga, Fleurieu Regional Development and Flinders University have pooled their resources to identify new technologies capability in the Southern Adelaide region. Strategic and collaborative initiatives with business associations will be evaluated for the development of new economic strategies for these technologies. This region is highly representative of similar regional areas within Australia, in which the identification of new technologies capability is not well characterised. With a reduction in conventional heavy industry in the region, it is believed that a better understanding of new technologies capability for application to the southern region will promote essential economic growth.Read moreRead less

Summary
Real-time control and data analysis of remote synchrotron microprobe experiments. A Canadian-Australian collaboration to design and construct sister synchrotron microdiffraction fluorescence probes (mDFP) commenced in 2004. The Canadian mDFP will be available in the first half of 2006, at least two years prior to the sister facility at the Australian Synchrotron. The proposed project will extend this collaboration to develop a system for remote control of mDFP experiments, incorporating real-t ....Real-time control and data analysis of remote synchrotron microprobe experiments. A Canadian-Australian collaboration to design and construct sister synchrotron microdiffraction fluorescence probes (mDFP) commenced in 2004. The Canadian mDFP will be available in the first half of 2006, at least two years prior to the sister facility at the Australian Synchrotron. The proposed project will extend this collaboration to develop a system for remote control of mDFP experiments, incorporating real-time data analysis and 3D visualization. This system will enable Australian scientists to use the Canadian mDFP, and subsequently the Australian Synchrotron mDFP, from their home institutions. The resulting flexibility of scheduling and alleviation of downtime for travel will be particularly beneficial for industry users.Read moreRead less
