Projects to be featured at CeBIT

Advanced Surveillance – The SAFE Advanced Surveillance (SAFE AS) Project is developing faster and more robust methods to analyse visual information. The team is applying advanced Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition techniques to develop algorithms and advanced embedded systems to address video forensics and surveillance needs. (Brochure, PDF)

AutoMap – AutoMap is focused on implementing and field testing technologies and systems for the automatic creation of digital maps in support of the rapidly growing data requirements of the personal navigation market. (Brochure, PDF)

Business Adaptation and Interoperation – The Business Adaptation and Interoperation Project will create improved understanding and technologies for organisations to work together effectively using integrated, scalable and adaptable software systems.  Our vision is of our technologies being used by organizations and industries achieve fluid and adaptive interoperation. (Brochure, PDF)

Cognitive and Organisational Systems Engineering (COSE) – The Cognitive and Organisational Systems Engineering (COSE) project started at the end of 2008. The goal of the COSE project is to develop better techniques and tools for evaluating the integration between people, the ICT systems that they use, and the environments in which they work. We are developing our tools initially in the domains of healthcare and air traffic management. (Brochure, PDF 3.2MB)

Cognitive Load Monitoring – Part of the Decision Support for Incident Management (DSIM) project that aims to research and develop core technologies for a new generation of human computer interfaces that support critical decision-making for users in high-performance and time critical environments. (Brochure, PDF)

Human Performance Improvement – The project will develop small, smart devices which collect, interpret and transmit, biometric data reliably to those who need it in a form they can use, when they need it. The development of wearable and implantable devices allows new opportunities to monitor and analyze the biometric status of humans in a range of unrestricted natural activities and environments.(Brochure, PDF)

Intelligent Fleet Logistics – The Intelligent Fleet Logistics project commenced in June 2008 and is combining operations research algorithms for vehicle routing with the flexibility of constraint programming. This research is use inspired, being driven by real-world applications of the technology to deliver systems applicable to industry requirements. Our first commercial offering is a Transportation Management System that can better model the detail of client operations than current vehicle routing systems. (Brochure, PDF)

Service Delivery and Testbed Framework – This project has complementary objectives. First, it is developing schemes that minimise the energy cost of a distributed service delivery platform, such as TV set-top boxes, thereby reducing energy costs and environment footprint. Second, it is developing and deploying a unified framework to control, measure, and manage federations of networking testbeds, thereby increasing scientific rigor in the networking field, and facilitating future Internet research. (Brochure, PDF)

Open Kernel Labs – Open Kernel Labs is the global leader in open source virtualization software for mobile devices, consumer electronics, and embedded systems. Backed by the largest, independent team of microkernel developers, the OKL4 embedded hypervisor is deployed on more than 500 million mobile phones worldwide.

Smart Transport and Roads (STaR) – The Smart Transport and Roads Project is using advanced information and communications technologies to help solve the world's urban traffic congestion problems. (Brochure, PDF)

Visual Processing for the Bionic Eye (VIBE) – This project aims to develop a new generation of assistive devices (stand-alone wearable devices that individuals can without medical intervention) based on computer vision processing: it will produce prototype devices that aim to demonstrate effective assistance for individuals with vision impairment. (Brochure, PDF)

NICTA/Franuhofer IESE Research Group – This research group creates an immediate framework for joint research work to solve hard problems in transport and logistics. The two organisations are committing over $AUD11 million to bring together their complementary skills and world-leading expertise in these areas.(Brochure, PDF)
