Integrated water system modeling is a reasonable approach to provide scientific understanding to tackle the severe water crisis faced all over the world and to promote the implementation of integrated river basin management. After carefully evaluating the issues in the existing models, we proposed an integrated water system model by considering hydrological and biogeochemical processes, […]

Understanding extremes is often important in many fields (such as weather, finance and industrial standards). However, unlike the average which is widely used statistical summary, extremes need to be modelled but are hard to be modelled because they are rare. Unfortunately, theoretically based statistics frequently not work well. More importantly, the theories do not capture […]

     TrustStoreTM We cannot take the things we treasure with us everywhere we go. Sometimes we do not even have room to keep them at home. That is why storage sheds and safety deposit boxes exist. With the masses of data that we store, we need very, very big storage sheds, which we now call the […]

Security and privacy protections are needed to increase the confidence on the wide deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Resource constrained IoT devices has limited computational power and battery lifetime. Such devices are desired to use affordable security solutions to guarantee data security as well as providing a long service period. In this project, […]

Database services in the cloud are attracting more companies to outsource their databases, since in this way the companies do not need to maintain their own database management systems.  However, with such cloud services the companies lose the physical control to their databases and the privacy of outsourced data is always a concern.  In this project, […]

The Architecture and Analytics Platforms team tackles major challenges in software architecture, data analytics, computing infrastructure, DevOps, and dependability. Please refer to the Disciplines section below for an overview of our backgrounds. While we work on a wide range of topics, there are two major efforts of R&D in the team: the Process-Oriented Dependability (POD) […]

Blockchain This page is about our technical research on blockchain. See this page for our reports on how blockchain technology could be used across government and industry in Australia to deliver productivity benefits and drive local innovation. Contact: Mark Staples (Mark.Staples@data61.csiro.au), Ingo Weber (Ingo.Weber@data61.csiro.au), Xiwei (Sherry) Xu (Xiwei.Xu@data61.csiro.au) Overview Blockchain is an emerging technology for […]

Process-Oriented Dependability Overview Gartner has stated “Through 2015, 80% of outages impacting mission-critical services will be caused by people and process issues, and more than 50% of those outages will be caused by change/configuration/release integration and hand-off issues.” Our vision is make a dramatic reduction in these numbers for consumers of cloud services. This is […]
