  • Robust Intelligence: Rational Decision-Making under Risk and Uncertainty (ARC Discovery Project)

    -

    Summary: Intelligent agents exercise profound and growing impact in business and society. However, significant problems arise in intelligent agent deployment as their theoretical underpinnings do not ensure rational decision making in complex real-world settings. This project bridged the gap between theory and practice with an innovative framework for rational decision making under risk and uncertainty. opening the door to transformational technologies that enable entrepreneurial opportunities…

    Summary: Intelligent agents exercise profound and growing impact in business and society. However, significant problems arise in intelligent agent deployment as their theoretical underpinnings do not ensure rational decision making in complex real-world settings. This project bridged the gap between theory and practice with an innovative framework for rational decision making under risk and uncertainty. opening the door to transformational technologies that enable entrepreneurial opportunities in agent-based global services.
    International Partners: Peter Gardenfors, Lund University Sweden; Henri Prade, CNRS France; Pavlos Peppas, Patra University, Greece.
    Funding: Australia Research Council Discovery Project 2016 - 2020.

  • A Framework for Physical and Social Collaboration: Towards the Smarter Planet Vision (ARC Linkage Project)

    -

    This project developed intelligent collaborative technologies by advancing the theory of collaborative action and developing an innovative framework and practical methods which will allow intelligent systems to undertake the collaborative actions required for applications in transport, energy management, sustainability, and healthcare.
    Partners: Benjamin Johnston UTS; Glen Wightwick UTS.
    Funding: Australian Research Council and IBM

  • Adaptive Cyber-Physical Technologies with Attention Driven Common-sense Behaviours (ARC Discovery Project)

    -

    Designing intelligent cyber-physical systems for open, complex and changing environments presents enormous scientific challenges. This project developed an innovative framework, methods and tools that provide cyber-physical technologies with attention based common-sense capabilities for adapting to new, unexpected and unforeseen situations.

    International Partner: Peter Gardenfors, Lund University, Sweden and Australian Research Council

  • Establishing a Next Generation Framework to Determine the Influence of Intelligent Water Metering on Householder Attitudes and Behaviours (ARC Linkage Project)

    -

    This project tested competing theories on how households respond to interactive water consumption data from smart meters. The outcome is a novel framework for intelligent water management; underpinned by innovative research into causal mechanisms linking data communication to knowledge, and the impact of knowledge on attitudes and behaviours.

    Partners: Mid Coast Water and the Institute of Sustainable Futures
