NICTA's Participation

NICTA was excited to participate in this exciting exhibition for the first time. After six years of participating in CeBIT Australia and developing a strong research portfolio, CeBIT Hannover was a great oppotunity to display our research at the world's largest IT exhibition.

What we showcased

Advanced Surveillance

Applications for sensor technologies with a particular focus on cameras and CCTV, for the detection and analysis of safety and security threats.
 
AutoMap
Supporting the personal navigation market’s rapidly growing data requirements using technologies and systems to automatically create and update maps.
 
Implant Systems
Sufferers of a range of nervous system disorders will benefit from NICTA-developed medical implant technology. Specifically, we address the need for implantable therapies and smaller, more sophisticated medical prosthesis.
 
Testbed Management Framework and its Applications to Peer-to-Peer Overlays (TEMPO)
Service delivery: Reducing energy costs and environment footprint of distributed service delivery platforms, such as TV set-top boxes by investigating schemes that minimise the energy cost. 
 
Testbed framework: Facilitating future Internet research and increasing scientific rigor in the networking field by developing and deploying a unified framework to control, measure, and manage federations of networking testbeds.

Trusted Opportunistic Networking
Technology which will enable use of short lived (ephemeral) connections, sharing mobile content and services in a temporary mobile environment.  We concentrate on the following issues:
– How to quickly establish trust without compromising privacy 
– How to handle network selection and soft transition between multiple networks

Smart Transport and Roads (STaR)
Traffic managers and road users will be able to predict and respond to traffic conditions using technology that will increase the capacity of our roads infrastructure, make urban travel more predictable, efficient and environmentally friendly. 


OK Labs
With its technology deployed on more than 500 million mobile phones worldwide NICTA spin-out company Open Kernel Labs is the global leader in open source virtualisation software for mobile devices, consumer electronics, and embedded systems.

Goanna
Keeping product launch timetables on track and saving money using a fast, scalable and precise software solution that detects bugs and other software vulnerabilities automatically during the development process.
 
Intelligent Fleet Logistics
Road freight operators cope with fluctuating demands, changing deliveries and varied operational constraints to efficiently manage their operations. It can be challenging for them to find new ways to increase efficiency and shave dollars of their bottom line. NICTA is developing technology to help transport industries optimise their mobile assets and resources under diverse constraints so that cost savings can be realised.

Decision Support for Incident Management (DISM)
Athletic performance, emergency responses and call centre processes can all be enhanced by a better understanding of the mental effort required for an individual to perform a given task. This project is researching and developing core technologies for a new generation of human computer interfaces that will support critical decision-making for users in these high-performance and time-critical environments.
