Autoconfiguration of critical network infrastructure. In 2000, Vitek Boden hacked into Maroochy Shire's sewerage system, causing hundreds of kilolitres of raw sewage to flow into a public area, causing financial and environmental damage, and the potential for the spread of life-threatening disease. The goal of this project is to improve the security of Australia's critical infrastructure, for instance, electricity and water supply.

In 2000, Vitek Boden hacked into Maroochy Shire's sewerage system, causing hundreds of kilolitres of raw sewage to flow into a public area, causing financial and environmental damage, and the potential for the spread of life-threatening disease. The goal of this project is to improve the security of Australia's critical infrastructure, for instance, electricity and water supply. The project’s approach is to simplify the critical bottlenecks in communication between plant equipment and company management, namely, the firewall that protects the critical plant equipment from viruses and hackers. Simplification will improve transparency and hence reduce the possibility that security holes allow an incident similar to that of this incident, or worse.Read moreRead less
Internet traffic-matrix synthesis. This project will enhance research and development in Internet engineering by providing basic inputs to test and validate new ideas. The result will be a more efficient, reliable, and robust Internet.

Summary
Reliable transmission for wireless control. While wireless communication can bring great benefits for control systems, current communication technologies are not competent. This project aims to revolutionise wireless control systems through novel communication strategies. The project will deliver fundamental theories and cutting-edge technologies for communications in control applications.
Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks. The project will develop radio and network resource allocation techniques to maximise network utilisation and to offer guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic in 3G/4G wireless mobile communication networks. In particular, this work will study the problem of radio channel allocation in wireless IP (Internet protocol) multimedia networks. The project will develop resource allo ....Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks.

Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is p ....Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is present in many remote and regional areas of Australia. It also will result in more efficient utilisation of telecommunications infrastructure. The project will deliver implementations in the form of software which is easily installed in any computer.Read moreRead less
New high-performance iterative error correction codes. This project develops new error correction codes to underpin the success of next-generation communications technologies. The nature of the project presents significant potential for project outcomes to be beneficial to the Australian telecommunications industry in a wide range of application areas from optical communication to digital broadcasting.
Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamic ....Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamically allocate resources to cells and users, taking into account user mobility and radio interference between multiple cells. Benefits from this research include competitive advantage to operators who will be able to differentiate service offerings and guarantee agreed QoS to their customers.Read moreRead less
Easing the Squeeze: Dynamic and Distributed Resource Allocation with Cognitive Radio. The radio spectrum is a scarce and valuable natural resource which is being squeezed by the rapid growth in wireless communications. Cognitive radios make efficient use of radio spectrum by dynamically reusing frequencies. This requires cognitive radios to sense the local environment and to control the interference caused to existing users of the spectrum. This project will design novel dynamic and distributed ....Easing the Squeeze: Dynamic and Distributed Resource Allocation with Cognitive Radio. The radio spectrum is a scarce and valuable natural resource which is being squeezed by the rapid growth in wireless communications. Cognitive radios make efficient use of radio spectrum by dynamically reusing frequencies. This requires cognitive radios to sense the local environment and to control the interference caused to existing users of the spectrum. This project will design novel dynamic and distributed resource allocation algorithms for cognitive radios in order to significantly improve their performance using techniques from extreme value theory, game theory and mechanism design and large random matrix theory.
