Innovative Technologies
The construction of IT systems to meet real-world needs involves a myriad of research challenges within security, networks and artificial and computational intelligence. The research in the Innovative Technologies group addresses the challenges posed by:
- the complexity of many real-world situations, from high-accuracy global positioning systems (GPS) to whole-of-life software engineering
- evaluation of security-critical, safety-critical and mission-critical computer-dependent systems
- systems that must be highly dependable, e.g. electronic health monitoring
- governance and technology frameworks for systems that must be secured against attack and misuse.
Information Security
The Faculty of Information Technology has a longstanding reputation for high-impact research in information security. The formation of the Information Security Institute (ISI) has extended this base to promote multidisciplinary research in technology, legal, policy and governance issues related to information security. ISI research includes:
- cryptology
- eBusiness and eGovernment
- governance and information protection
- trusted systems and network security
- computer intrusion, forensics and evidence
- technology, law and policy
- speech, audio, image and video technology
- risk and crisis management.
