Chairman’s Report
Eight years down the track, NICTA has reached a level of maturity where the
outcomes of the investment in our research centre are emerging. We are making
important research breakthroughs and generating significant benefits for the
nation.
In 2010 we had some great highlights. Our reputation continued to grow and
NICTA extended its reach both nationally and internationally. NICTA technology is
now on display on the world stage. We can be found at Lord’s Cricket Ground,
where a state-of-the-art sound system was developed and supplied courtesy of
our first spin-out Audinate. NICTA-developed technology is in more than one billion
mobile handsets worldwide, through our spin-out Open Kernel Labs. Automap,
another NICTA innovation, can be found in navigational systems around Australia.
Gold medallists of the future are trialling our Human Performance Improvement
devices in the pool at the Australian Institute of Sport. Through our new R&D
services work, farmers around Australia are using NICTA technology to detect
diseases in their crops before they cause damage. NICTA is complementing the
rollout of the National Broadband Network with trials at Parkbridge as well as
participation in the Australia Centre for Broadband Innovation (ACBI) in NSW.
And that’s just a few. In 2010, NICTA was working on some 30 research activities,
all with one vision in mind – that our imaginative research drives Australia’s
future.
We also welcomed a new CEO to NICTA in 2010, Professor Hugh Durrant-Whyte. I
am delighted that Hugh has agreed to take on the role and am confident that he
will steer NICTA to deliver the next generation of research and commercial
breakthroughs and build the company’s capacity and reputation for research
excellence and successful market impact.
I’d also like to pay tribute to Dr David Skellern, NICTA’s outgoing CEO. David’s
reputation for success preceded him when he first joined the NICTA Board and
became the CEO in 2005. His unique blend of entrepreneurial and research
attributes complemented NICTA’s vision perfectly. David inherited a fledgling
organisation of promise and transformed it into an internationally respected
research and development group able to tackle major problems facing Australia.
He leaves a great legacy and I wish him a wonderful retirement.
Thank you also to the NICTA leadership team and Board of Directors. We said
farewell to Emeritus Professor Graham Hellestrand who stood down from the
Board to concentrate on other activities and welcomed Dr Michelle Deaker. As
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of funds management company
OneVentures Pty Ltd., Dr Deaker brings a wealth of relevant ICT industry
experience to her new position.
In 2010 we were also delighted to receive the announcements that the NSW and
Victorian State Governments committed additional funding to NICTA. The NSW
Government announced an extra $9 million over three years (2010-2012), while

Chief Executive Officer’s Report
As the new Chief Executive Officer of NICTA, I am pleased to present the 2010
Annual Report to Government.
In December, David Skellern retired after five- and-a-half years as CEO of NICTA.
David led NICTA from its very early stages to a leading national and international
organisation for research, development and commercialisation of ICT
technologies. Now in its ninth year, NICTA has reached a level of maturity where it
is producing many world-leading research results and commercial outcomes. I am
thrilled to be leading such a dynamic and vibrant organisation as it transitions into
its next phase.
In 2010, NICTA’s prepared its next five year Strategic Plan. This is an important
process in which NICTA’s executives and Board determine NICTA’s future strategy
in consultation with key stakeholders. The new Strategic Plan focuses on three
key strategic objectives: Excellence, Engagement and Impact. We look forward to
executing and delivering this plan over the next five years.
2010 saw many achievements and milestones for the organisation.
In May, NICTA established a bioelectronics laboratory in Melbourne to support the
development of an advanced bionic eye and to consolidate Australia’s leadership
in bioelectronics research. NICTA continued to work closely with Bionic Vision
Australia partners throughout 2010 to develop the bionic eye implant, which has
the potential to significantly improve the quality of life of vision-impaired people
around the world.
A number of NICTA researchers and senior executives received distinguished
awards in 2010. Senior executives Dr Terry Percival, Dr John Parker and Dr David
Skellern received Clunies Ross awards from the Academy of Technological
Sciences and Engineering. Project Leader Professor Peter Stuckey won the
inaugural Google Australia Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science.
These prestigious awards highlight the calibre and talent of NICTA’s people.
NICTA’s research training program continues to produce ICT graduates that not
only have deep technical expertise, but also strong business and
commercialisation skills. By the end of 2010, 211 students who undertook their
research at NICTA had graduated.
NICTA spun-out a fifth company – Cohesive Data − in June 2010. The technology
offered by Cohesive Data enables users to access volumes of dynamic content via
mobile devices, even when offline or out of network range.
NICTA’s first two spin-outs, Open Kernel Labs and Audinate, continue to thrive.
Open Kernel Labs’ mobile virtualisation software is now in over one billion mobile
handsets worldwide.

Project breakthroughs
• Device driver verification - a major advance in operating systems, which will
completely solve the device-driver problem, demonstrating synthesised drivers
which perform at par with traditional hand-written (and buggy) drivers. This has
led to a paper in the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP), the
world's leading operating systems conference, and the beginnings of
collaboration with major manufacturers.
• A new SAT (satisfiability) solving algorithm has been developed by NICTA
researchers. This algorithm is proved to strictly exceed, in theoretical power,
the algorithm of choice for the past decade. Empirical investigations show that
this additional power can translate into substantial practical gains.
Researchers have also devised new satisfiability-based algorithms for planning
(sequential decision making) whose practical performance equals or surpasses
that of state-space heuristic search algorithms which have prevailed in the last
decade.
• The Spectral Imaging project team has developed new technology for
illuminant recovery, shape analysis and image descriptors in hyperspectral
imaging, leading to many high-profile publications and a series of patents. This
has potential applications in computational photography, food security, and
defence.
• The Implant Systems project team has made a significant scientific
breakthrough in the area of neuro-stimulation and understanding the evoked
response of stimulated cells. This is applicable initially in the area of pain
management, but also has much broader implications.
• The Advanced Surveillance project team lodged a provisional patent for a
method to automatically match other biometrics with face images. This will
allow automatic matching of individuals enrolled with one biometric to another
biometric.
• In late 2009 NICTA’s seL4.verified team created the first ever formal proof of
the functional correctness of the implementation of a complete operatingsystem kernel. In 2010 the team described the science behind this
breakthrough at a number of international venues. The work was awarded
Best Paper in the ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principle (SOSP)
conference. This was the first ever Australian paper in the 44-year history of
one of the highest-impact publications for computer science. Sel4 running on
both ARM and x86 platforms is to be released in collaboration with OK Labs in
14
January 2011. This work was undertaken by the Embedded Systems team
based at NRL in Kensington.
People
In 2010 NICTA focused on improving recruitment and diversity initiatives and
continued its culture of learning and development across the organisation. NICTA
also undertook a number of research and development activities and improved its
interactions and relations with stakeholders.
Recruitment and retention strategy
•
One of NICTA’s recruitment strategies is to establish more joint appointments
with partner universities. In 2010, NICTA developed more effective
collaborations with partner universities to enhance service delivery,
educational outcomes, and research development and utilisation. By the end
of 2010 NICTA had four joint appointments.
•
In 2010 NICTA trained and coached managers on how to recruit talented
candidates for positions.
•
NICTA developed a retention strategy that focuses on enhancing its value
proposition for different categories of employees. NICTA has also extended its
employment contracts to provide more job security for its people.
•
Throughout 2010 NICTA enhanced its diversity strategy to address the gender
imbalance amongst researchers at NICTA. Various initiatives have been
implemented to address this issue.
Learning and Development
•
NICTA continues to ensure that its people have access to the best professional
development training covering areas across research specialisations and
through courses designed to develop skills in commercial practice and
leadership capabilities.
•
NICTA also assessed the learning and development requirements to support
NICTA’s contract research services (known within NICTA as R&D Services). The
Human Resources team and R&D Services staff identified the skills required
for undertaking contract research. Skill development plans for staff were
developed and relevant training courses were organised.
•
NICTA carried out Team Management Systems (TMS) training across the
organisation. The objective of the training is to focus on identifying and
understanding the different types of work, individuals’ work preferences, and
the distribution of those preferences within teams. The training highlights why
some teams are highly effective, and also indicates some potential
weaknesses within teams. The overall feedback from the training was very
positive.
•
NICTA ran its annual research leadership training in 2010. The training
focused on effective commercial engagement, and preparing contract
research project proposals. The training workshop was very well received.
15
•
NICTA staff and graduate researchers also undertook commercialisation
training (focusing on the areas of customers and markets, product
development and paths to market), management and leadership training,
university supervision training, and various other kinds of training and
development.
Education
•
NICTA had 231 PhD students at the end of 2011.
•
211 alumni have now graduated with NICTA-enriched research experiences,
supervision, and having contributed to NICTA projects.
•
There continues to be an appreciation of the contribution made by graduate
researchers to NICTA’s research programs, and to the relationship that NICTA
develops with universities.
•
Graduate researchers continued to participate in coursework provided by the
universities in 2010. NICTA has also developed a model based on course
modules which suits delivery by NICTA researchers and visitors, which can
address in-depth material based on research, and which has approval from
universities. There is continued emphasis on commercialisation and related
topics.
•
Opportunities for mobility are offered to graduate researchers. These mobility
opportunities result from formal internship agreements, informal visits to
research institutions (without formal agreements), and university-initiated
visits to other institutions.
•
The Summer Scholars Program continues to be the flagship program for
outreach to undergraduate university students. The program aims to develop
students’ interests in ICT research. High School outreach takes the form of a
competition run jointly with the Australian Computer Society (in 2010 this was
the ‘Young Aus-Innovators’ competition for high schools), a Summer School,
and informal visits to high schools by NICTA staff with associated support for
their teaching.
•
Fifty-five Summer Scholars (university students about to enter an Honours
Year) from around Australia attended the showcase in December, and under
the scholarship program students undertook research at all the NICTA labs
over the university summer holidays.
•
NICTA laboratories work hard to provide a supportive and engaging workplace
for graduate researchers. Graduate researcher involvement in broader NICTA
activities is developing in a sustainable way.
•
Graduate researchers were prominent in awards for best paper competitions
at international conferences, for poster presentations and general
performance at all member and partner universities
•
A strong program of formal and informal outreach activities continued
throughout 2010, including the ‘Embedded Challenge 2010’, science shows,
and various other activities.

Ensuring a strategic approach to linkages in research projects.
During project reviews in the first half of the year, NICTA’s Research Strategy
Group (RSG) supported projects having a strategic approach to linkages, ensuring,
in particular, that projects with budgets over $1 million develop clear strategies
for research and commercialisation linkages and an awareness of their national
and international contexts.
Implementing the international strategy and shifting NICTA towards global activity
NICTA’s international plan is creating a focus for the organisation and is starting
to influence other parts of the Australian ICT research sector. There is momentum
building for engagement with Europe following the European Commission (EC)
and the Australian Government’s Joint Science Technology Coordination
Committee ICT Theme Workshop in June leading into the European Commission’s
ICT Event in Brussels 27-29 September.
The most successful element of the international strategy in 2010 was the
Fraunhofer Project Group in Transport and Logistics and the Future Logistics
Living Lab. The collaboration brings together complementary expertise in software
engineering, embedded systems and optimisation methods to work on joint
research projects, and technology transfer projects with industry. Initial joint
research is being conducted on server-based video analysis which could be used
for networks of intelligent cameras in transport and logistics scenarios such as
traffic monitoring and container management.
Stakeholder agreements and relationships
In 2010, there was a significant amount of effort made towards re-signing
agreements, communicating return on investment and strategically managing
relationships with Australian Government, state governments and the universities.
In 2010 NICTA signed:
• A new funding deed with the Victorian Government of $33 million over 4 years;
• Additional funding from the NSW Government for NICTA of $9 million (20102012);
• A new funding agreement with the Australian Government for $185.5 m (20112015)
Implementing the communications plan
In 2010 we implemented the communications plan and worked to improve the
ability of the organisation to clearly communicate complex technical ideas to a
broad audience.
During 2010, NICTA focused its marketing on highlighting NICTA's national role to
stakeholders as "solving important problems by inventing world class ICT". This
17
message has been used in all communications including the Annual Report, event
participation, website design and project collateral. The amount of media
coverage doubled from 653 media mentions in 2009 up to 1,313 in 2010 with
national media coverage tripling in 2010.
National linkages activity
In 2010, NICTA’s national linkages activities and outcomes included clusters such
as Embedded Systems Australia (in particular the NICTA-led TruckOn – Overhead
Collision Avoidence project), the ICT for Life Sciences Forum, and e-Government.
NICTA also engaged in a number of collaborations with the CSIRO and DSTO.
Commercialisation
There were a number of commercialisation highlights for NICTA in 2010:
•
Spin out companies Open Kernel Labs and Audinate continue to thrive. Both
companies are exceeding their business plans and secured significant new
customers during 2010.
•
NICTA’s XML-compression technology project, mContext, is being
commercialised by three entrepreneurs along with the founding researchers
under a vehicle called Cohesive Data. They are seeking contracts in the
telecommunications sector, initially in the US.
•
NICTA’s increasing maturity in providing contract research (R&D Services)
capabilities during 2010 resulted in a substantial increase on 2009 contract
income (based on value of signed contracts). Key areas of industry
engagement included systems performance modeling for eGovernment and
defence clients (ePASA), human performance and stress management
through cognitive load management (DSIM), and route optimisation for
transport and logistics (IFL).
•
New and important collaborations were formalised, including Bionic Vision
Australia, multiple new Victorian university and health precinct partners, and
the establishment of the Australian Centre for Broadband Innovation (ACBI) –
a partnership between CSIRO, NICTA and the NSW Government.
•
R&D investment attraction was positive for NICTA. In NSW, the State
Government increased funding to NICTA by $3m/year over the next three
years. In October the Victorian Government announced $33M over four years
in new funding for the Victorian Research Laboratory. NICTA also supported
the establishment of a new IBM Global R&D Laboratory to be located in the
University of Melbourne precinct, focusing on smarter planet initiatives.
•
Projects were given substantial support to improve their market awareness
and readiness. Opportunity assessments were completed, reviewed and
updated throughout 2010 – encompassing formally approved projects,
emerging ideas, and projects where core research has been completed though
commercial opportunities continue. Strategic IP workshops were conducted
with 22 teams, building NICTA’s discipline and capabilities to create and
18
implement IP strategies. Seven market validation grants (MVGs) and 12 proofs
of concept (POCs) were awarded during 2010.
19
Corporate Governance
The primary purpose of the Company is to establish, manage and operate a worldclass research institute in Information and Communications Technology with the
objective of generating national benefit.
NICTA is supported by funding from the Australian Government as represented by
the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and the
Australian Research Council.
NICTA is also supported by the contributions of its members:

• The University of Queensland.
The Australian Government contributed A$124.8 million over the period FY03-06
to establish NICTA. A further A$254.28 million was committed under a second
funding agreement for the period FY07-11, and a further A$185.5 million was
committed under a third funding agreement for the period FY11-15.
Governance
NICTA is a company limited by guarantee and operates independently of its
consortium members. It is governed by a board of directors, which is chaired by
Mr Neville Stevens AO. Dr. David Skellern was appointed to the role of the Chief
Executive Officer in June 2005. Dr Skellern’s contract was extended during 2008
for a further two years, extending his tenure until March 2011.
Professor Hugh Durrant-Whyte commenced as NICTA’s CEO in December 2010,
while David Skellern took recreational leave until late February 2011
The NICTA Board in Action
The NICTA Board is assisted by four committees: Governance and Remuneration;
Audit and Finance; Evaluation; and Commercialisation. These committees are
supplemented by other advisory groups as required.
Internal Audit
20
NICTA’s internal audit process was outsourced in 2007 to
PricewaterhouseCoopers who have been engaged to manage this function for a
three year period.
International Science and Business Advisory Groups
Two external advisory groups with senior international membership also support
the board: the International Scientific Advisory Group (ISAG) and the International
Business Advisory Group (IBAG).
ISAG/IBAG last met in Sydney from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 August, 2009.
There was no ISAG/IBAG meeting in 2010. It had previously been agreed that
meetings would take place every 18 months, rather than annually as had been
the practice in the past.
The next ISAG/IBAG meeting is scheduled for 23 – 25 February 2011, and will
coincide with NICTA’s annual technology showcase, Techfest.
Research Strategy Advisory Council
NICTA’s Research Strategy Advisory Council (RSAC) provides advice to NICTA on
the national research and innovation context and facilitates the sharing of
research directions across major national research institutions.
The membership of the RSAC includes representatives from NICTA’s member and
partner universities:
• University of New South Wales
• Australian National University
• University of Melbourne
• University of Sydney
• Queensland University of Technology
• University of Queensland.
The RSAC also includes representatives from:
• Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO)
• Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Centre.
The RSAC met once in 2010. The meeting, held in April, focused on NICTA’s
engagement with universities, and how this might be improved, as well as NICTA’s
2011-2015 Strategic Plan.

NICTTA 2010 Annual Report to the Austrralian Goverrnment:
22
i) People Our objective is to bring together world-class researchers and professional staff
and enhance their skills. We do so within a culture of entrepreneurship and
achievement in use-inspired basic research, enhancing Australia’s ICT capacity
and capability.
2010 In summary
In 2010 NICTA focused on improving recruitment and diversity initiatives and
continued a culture of learning and development across the organisation.
Recruitment and Retention Strategy
One of NICTA’s recruitment strategies is to work with partner universities to
secure joint appointments. NICTA aims to develop effective collaborations with its
partner universities to enhance service delivery and educational outcomes. NICTA
has four joint appointments: Farhad Dadgostar and Helen Huang from the
University of Queensland, Julien Epps from the University of New South Wales,
and Lavy Libman from the University of Sydney. NICTA will continue to work with
other partner universities to secure joint appointments.
In 2010 NICTA trained and coached managers to enable them to recruit talented
candidates for vacant positions. NICTA’s Human Resources team (HR) has been
participating actively in selection panels to ensure recruitment protocols and best
practices are being followed. HR is also coaching individual research leaders on
recruitment techniques, and providing assistance where managers are unsure of
their legal responsibilities or NICTA processes. In addition, in 2010 HR
implemented a new online system called OpenHire to support recruitment
processes, as well as improved NICTA’s careers portal to promote the NICTA
brand to potential candidates.
Throughout 2010, NICTA developed a retention strategy that focuses on
enhancing its value proposition to different categories of employees. Employment
contracts have been extended from one to two or three years to promote job
security. NICTA has also provided better re-location and visa arrangements, and
in 2010 increased the number of working visa and permanent residency
sponsorships to attract world class researchers.
In line with our aim to retain excellent staff, the criteria for promotion of
researchers and research engineers were revised to provide a more systematic
and fair process to assess relevant skills and contributions. As a result, ten
candidates were promoted in 2010.
NICTA also implemented an online performance management system to ensure
better alignment between the goals that drive our business and the employees
responsible for them.
23
Diversity
In 2010 NICTA focused on its diversity strategy to help increase the proportion of
women in research/engineering roles in our organisation. Various initiatives have
been implemented to address the gender imbalance at NICTA and we are
monitoring the outcomes of the initiatives.
These initiatives include the following:
• Dr Sarah Dodds, an ex-NICTA researcher, was engaged as a consultant to
undertake a study on women in research and their productivity, contribution
and progression through NICTA. The findings from the study were used to
inform other initiatives. NICTA will pursue ongoing initiatives over the coming
years.
• NICTA’s Human Resources Team joined the steering committee of Females in
Information Technology and Telecommunications (FITT) and will assist in
organising events and activities to promote women in the workplace. We have
participated in a variety of networking events and breakfast seminars focusing
on this issue.
• Human Resources (HR) actively encouraged and supported NICTA staff and
students’ involvement in a Women in IT breakfast on International Women’s
Day in March.
• NICTA organised a number of outreach programs in schools to promote a
career in ICT to high school and university students.
In 2010, NICTA received a ‘waiver status’ for two years with the Equal Opportunity
for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA). This waiver recognises what NICTA
has been doing to promote a career in ICT for women, as well as our strategies for
supporting and retaining women.
NICTA’s Open Forum Survey
Another focus for 2010 was addressing a number of issues identified from the
2009 Open Forum Survey results. The executive team identified a number of
priority areas that emerged from the survey: excellence, dealing with poor
performers, feedback/coaching, and decision making and approval systems.
Individuals were assigned to each priority area and additional actions on top of
the annual roadmap milestones were implemented. Internal communications
channels such as the CEO Roadshow and the CEO video message to all staff have
been used to communicate the outcomes and recommendations to all staff.
Processes and Procedures
In 2010 HR has improved and streamlined its internal processes and procedures.
This included:
•
•
a review of induction and separation processes to ensure we follow best
practice in delivering our services;
streamlining payroll processes;
24
•
•
developing and implementing the ‘NICTA ID’ system - a centralised repository
contains details for all employees and students engaged or employed in the
organisation;
establishing the NICTA Alumni group using the online networking tool ‘Linked
In’. Linked In was chosen over a custom made dedicated website as it
provides one data source for alumni contact details. It is proposed that the
NICTA Alumni group will have an open forum discussion page, and that this
will be used to promote job opportunities and NICTA related events and news.
It will also be used to analyse the movements of our alumni.
NICTA Staff Learning and Development
NICTA continues to ensure that its people have access to the best professional
development and training opportunities covering areas across research
specialisations and through courses designed to develop their skills in
commercial practice and leadership capabilities.
In 2010, NICTA introduced an informal internship program. A number of
corporate and research staff participated in CRL and QRL. HR will review the
need for a formal program in 2011.
NICTA also assessed learning and development requirements to support the
development of its R&D services capability. HR and R&D services staff, identified
the skills required for undertaking contract research. Skill development plans
were developed, and relevant training courses were organised for researchers.
NICTA carried out Team Management Systems (TMS) training across the
organisation. The objective of the training is to focus on identifying and
understanding the different types of work, individuals’ work preferences, and the
distribution of those preferences within teams. The training highlights why some
teams are highly effective, and also indicates some potential weaknesses within
teams. The overall feedback from the training was very positive.
NICTA ran its annual research leadership training in 2010. The training focused
on effective commercial engagement, and preparing contract research project
proposals. The training workshop was very well received.
Throughout 2010, professional development courses provided NICTA staff with
extensive opportunities for skill enhancement. The Learning and Development
program focused primarily on areas central to helping our people in the delivery of
excellence.

ii) Research NICTA’s research objective is to carry out research that advances knowledge, is
recognised for its excellence and generates breakthrough user-focussed
technologies.
2010 in summary
One of the main assets of any research organisation is its people. In 2010 Dr
Anna Liu started as Managing Complexity ATP lab staff and project leader for the
Business Adaptation and Interoperation (BAI) project. Dr Liu was previously
Associate Professor in Service Engineering at UNSW. Prior to that Anna was Group
Manager for Emerging Technologies at Microsoft Australia, in charge of web
strategy and business.
ANU Professor and former Federation Fellow David Hill also joined NICTA as a
contributed researcher this year to develop a project on Smart Grids.
Also in 2010, NICTA completed a study on Telemedicine (led by Dr Leif Hanlen
and Dr Phil Robertson) in the context of the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The study was funded by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the
Digital Economy (DBCDE).
a) New initiatives
Six new research projects were initiated in 2010.
1) Artificial Intelligence for the Smart Grid
The Artificial Intelligence for the Smart Grid project aims to develop technology
for supporting and automating the management of complex systems such as
electricity networks.
2) Mesh Protocols
The goal of the Mesh Protocols project is to develop new adaptive network
protocols for Wireless Mesh Networks. The work can be applied to a wide
range of challenging scenarios, including emergency response and disaster
recovery, mining, and public safety and security applications.
3) Trusted Networking
The Trusted Networking Project aims to breach the gap between short and
long range mobile wireless technologies. This will enable new services based
on collaborative techniques and user generated content. This project has
strong collaboration links to The Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) in
Singapore. The team has also become a core partner of a European Union
project, “Scalable & Adaptive Internet solutions” (SAIL).
4) Bionic Eye
The Bionic Eye project is a partnership with the Australian Bionic Vision
Australia consortium to develop an advanced bionic eye. The NICTA team aims
to develop a high-acuity neuro-stimulator for intended use in profoundly blind
patients with particular forms of degenerative retinal disease.
30
5) Scalable Vision Machines
The Scalable Vision Machines Project aims to develop a programming
language that enables an inventor to concisely describe their computer vision
algorithms. The project will also develop a tool that will transform the
description into software that will run on a range of camera devices.
6) Smart Mobile Content Distribution
Mobile broadband usage and user-generated video content is exploding. As a
result mobile operators face high costs as they need to dimension for peak
capacity. This project aims to develop novel methods to ‘reduce the peaks by
filling in the valleys’ resulting in substantial savings for the network operators.
b) Theme summaries
Embedded Systems (ES)
•
The Automap project team has developed a low cost video survey collection
system and has undertaken a pilot installation in a vehicle in the fleet of a
large Australian map making company. The new tool, which incorporates offthe-shelf hardware and custom software, is expected to significantly enhance
the accessibility of the team’s existing traffic sign positioning service. The tool
is a very low cost video capture platform, ideally suited to AutoMap’s analysis
service at about 1/30th of the cost of the video capture platform in current use
for mapping surveys.
In May this year, the Automap team won the CeBIT.au Early Innovators Award.
The team received high praise for their AutoMap Digital Data for GPS Mapping
system.
•
Wireless power is crucial for the operation of the retinal implant, negating the
need for wires and reducing the size of the implant. The Bionic Eye project
team has invented a new system for wireless power transfer which has been
successfully demonstrated on a human eye. The team also sent off its first
generation retinal implant chip for manufacture. The chip features circuitry for
stimulation of the retina, power recovery via an inductive link and an RF
receiver for image transmission.
The Bionic Eye also project undertook its first tests in cadavers of the new
power coil for the implant. NICTA researchers are working with vitreoretinal
surgeons on design of the power coil and ensuring it is implanted in the
optimal position.
•
The Advanced Surveillance (SAFE) project team are working on a new project
with external support that will utilise the checkpoint project for airport security.
This project will extend the automatic and unassisted enrolment of individuals
at one checkpoint and creates a temporary database that is used at the next
checkpoint.
The project released a new implementation of a vision based anti-collision
system for NSW RailCorp. The system developed at QRL, is able to assist
maintenance train drivers to avoid collisions by applying video analytics on the
tracks ahead of the train.
31
The Advanced Surveillance project team has also tested a fully Automatic
Multi- camera person recognition code under laboratory conditions.
•
The Automatic Generation of Device Drivers component of the Trustworthy
Embedded Systems project has attracted significant international attention.
The technology developed can generate device drivers quicker than current
programming techniques and with fewer, or even no, bugs. This led to a paper
in the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP), the world's leading
operating systems conference, and the beginnings of collaboration with major
manufacturers such as Intel.The project also received a “no strings attached”
grant ($US50,000) from Google.
•
The US Air Force’s Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development
awarded a grant of $US431,000 over 27 months for continuation of research
into Formal System Verification for Trustworthy Embedded Systems.

Embedded System researchers have developed an unverified version of the
SeL4 microkernel for x86 processors. This has been delivered to NICTA spinout Open Kernel Labs (OKL) and will be publicly released along with the fully
verified version for ARM processors in early 2011.
Gernot Heiser and graduate researcher Aleks Budzynowski have discovered
ways to improve the performance of large database systems using the strong
dependability guarantees of the seL4 microkernel. Database systems can
achieve significant performance gains if there is a dependable underlying
operating system.
Making Sense of Data (MSD)
•
The Automated Data Analysis (ADA) project team has made a breakthrough in
the area of graph-theory. It has created a new algorithm to solve the all-pairs
shortest path problem for graphs of up to a few thousand nodes. This
algorithm solves an important graph-theory problem faster than previously
known algorithms.
The team developed a Named Entity Recognition (NER) module for ADA's
document processing software. NER is a subtask of information extraction
that locates and classifies elements in text into pre-defined categories such as
persons, organisations and locations. The new method has a more than 30%
better recall than other popular third party systems.
•
The Decision Support for Incident Management (DSIM) project team
successfully showcased the NICTA BrainGauge© (cognitive load measurement
technology) at CeBIT Australia. It was demonstrated in the form of an iPhone
application and a PC based recruitment screening tool.
Researchers have also secured an external grant for $US60,000 from the
Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD). The one year
grant is to support work in Automatic Multimodal Cognitive Load
Measurement.
•
Smart Transport & Roads (STaR) researchers have completed a report and
demonstration for the NSW Road Traffic Authority (RTA) using NICTA’s
algorithm for the detection of people from thermal images for critical
32
infrastructure protection. The RTA has given very positive feedback in terms of
the significant improvement of NICTA’s algorithm over existing technologies.
•
The Cognitive and Organisational Systems Engineering (COSE) ECHOMOD
project team developed a model for expert air traffic controllers to solve
problems using algorithms. The model provides a simple account of the way
that experts solve complex problems, given the inherent limitations of human
information processing capacity.
The COSE ECHOMOD project team also conducted field trials this year to
evaluate the impact of advanced decision support tools on the workload and
performance of air traffic controllers. The trials examined effects of decision
support, when air traffic controllers were placed under extremely demanding
conditions. The results of these trials will allow Airservices Australia to
evaluate the risks and benefits of the tool, and assess whether it is safe to
deploy.
The COSE PICTE project team completed the beta version of PICTE’s Values
Viewer software to assist prospective evaluation of ICT. Values Viewer is one
component of the PICTE software considered especially valuable by
Queensland Health.
•
The Human Performance Improvement (HPI) project team has developed a
technique for predicting future relay quality-of-service, and providing a
“quality-of-service” flag for the IEEE 802.15.6 body-area-networks standard.
The combination of accurate prediction and reliable quality-of-service will
allow for reliable relay selection in body-area-networks which will reduce
packet loss (particularly for sleeping patients).
Researchers have developed two machine-learning based algorithms for the
characterisation of swimming activities. On a set of 30 professional and
recreational swimmers, 96.6% of the laps are matched and 93% of the
swimming styles are identified correctly. Even better performance is expected
when more data becomes available. This result has been received with great
enthusiasm by our commercial partner.
•
The Diagnostic Genomics project team developed a novel representation of
the de Bruijn graph critical for assembly of millions of sequenced DNA
fragments in to a few large sequences (chromosomes). The implementation
requires dramatically less space than the usual representation. Since the size
of the graph is a limiting factor in many instances, this has potential to have
significant impact.
•
Researcher Jian Zhang received funding of approximately $AUD53,000

research into video-based action indexing for use by online video search
engines.
Managing Complexity (MC)
•
The Constraints Programming Platform (CPP) project team released an
updated version of software MiniZinc. MiniZinc is a medium-level modelling
language. It is high-level enough to express most constraint programming
33
problems easily, but low-level enough that it can be mapped onto existing
solvers easily and consistently. The group also developed a draft standard for
the Association of Constraint Programming for communicating solver instance
information from one solver to another: FlatZinc.xml. This standard is now
supported by the MiniZinc tool chain and was released as part of Minizinc
1.2.2.
Software platform G12 is a powerful, easy-to-use, constraint programming
platform for solving large-scale industrial combinatorial problems. This year
saw the first public release of G12 as a freely available academic version of
the whole system for the linux and MAC OS X operating systems.
The G12 project team also publicly released their Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) for the G12 Constraint Platform. The IDE is an intuitive
front-end to the various constraint solvers developed within this project. This
tool allows you to model problems in the Zinc/MiniZinc languages with the
help of a built-in editor to debug the execution of solvers and to visualise the
search and solutions.
•

•
The Intelligent Fleet Logistics (IFL) project team completed the first phase of
its contract research engagement with Goodman Fielder to optimise bread
line-haul distribution in Queensland. The initial study confirmed potential for
saving through improved fleet selection and route planning. This led to the
ordering of two new special vehicle trailers of increased capacity to better
service part of the line-haul operation.
An opportunity to apply work on compressing path databases to the IFL path
planning problem was identified. Initial experiments have indicated a
significant increase in the speed of route planning on the street network of the
database used by the IFL project.

iv) Linkages NICTA’s linkages objective is to increase our impact and results by working with
targeted research, government, education, industry and domain partners.
There was a much stronger focus on building linkages throughout the year,
particularly in the international area.
2010 In summary:
The key issues for linkages to be addressed in 2010 at NICTA were:
1. Ensuring NICTA projects have a strategic and focused approach to linkages
that strengthen research results and impact;
2. Implementing an international strategy for the organisation which focused
NICTA in the global research arena;
3. Re-signing agreements, communicating return on investment and managing
relationships with Australian Government, state governments and the
universities;
4. Implementing the communications plan for 2010 and improving the ability of
the organisation to clearly communicate complex technical ideas to a broad
audience; and
42
5. Collaborating with government on priority research areas and working with
industry clusters to develop market opportunities.
1. Strategic approach to linkages in research projects
During the Q1 and Q2 2010 Project Reviews the Research Strategy Group helped
support projects to have a strategic approach to linkages. Strategies for each
project were reviewed, ensuring that projects (particularly those with budgets over
$1 million) develop clear strategies for research and commercialisation linkages
and an awareness of their national and international contexts. Milestones have
been included in project term sheets for 2010-2012.
A draft template for NICTA engagement plans with a timetable for delivery was
established in Q3 2010 to support a systematic approach to attracting and
maintaining relationships with partners and potential partners.
2. Implementing the international strategy and shifting NICTA towards global
activity
NICTA’s international plan is creating a focus for the organisation and is starting
to influence other parts of the Australian ICT research sector. There is some
momentum building for engagement with Europe following the European
Commission (EC) and the Australian Government’s Joint Science Technology
Coordination Committee (JSTCC) ICT Theme Workshop in June leading into the
European Commission’s ICT Event in Brussels 27-29 September.
Opportunities have been created at project level to improve international
engagement, look at different opportunities and attend workshops. The following
agreements have been signed:
• Corporate Labs: Ericsson Research, Thomson, IBM Research and SAP
Research
• Research Institutes: Fraunhofer IESE, A-STAR Singapore I2R, National Institute
of Informatics Japan (NII), Nomura Research Institute (NRI), Indian Institutes of
Technology Delhi and Indraprastha.
The most successful element of the international strategy in 2010 was the
announcement of the Fraunhofer Project Group in Transport and Logistics and the
Future Logistics Living Lab.
The establishment of the Fraunhofer Project Group in Transport and Logistics at
NICTA was announced at CeBIT 2010 in Hannover, Germany. The collaboration
brings together complementary expertise in software engineering, embedded
systems and optimisation methods to work on joint research projects, and
technology transfer projects with industry. Initial joint research is being
conducted on server-based video analysis which could be used for networks of
intelligent cameras in transport and logistics scenarios such as traffic monitoring
and container management.
The Project Group has teamed up with SAP Research to establish the Future
Logistics Living Lab to showcase innovation and to work with industry on sectorwide challenges. The Future Logistics Living Lab works with key industry players
such as Hamburg Sud, Ericsson, and Linfox to creatively address challenges such
as sustainability, safety, interoperation, and logistics productivity.
43
International strategy - Europe
In 2010, our European strategy leveraged opportunities and built strong
momentum with key events in Australia and Europe. The most significant
achievement of the year was the increased engagement with the European
Commission resulting in an invitation to David Skellern (NICTA CEO) and Emma
Barron (NICTA Director of International Relations) to attend the EC’s International
Science and Technology Advisory Group (ISTAG) that includes the CEOs of most of
the key ICT companies in Europe to give a presentation on Australian experiences
in collaboration with Europe. The ISTAG recommended that the EC investigate a
joint-call opportunity with Australia in 2013.
Key relationships were strengthened through meetings, workshops and jointresearch. Agreements were signed with Fraunhofer institute, SAP and Ericsson.
Other activities for NICTA included:
• Development of an Australian ICT expertise stand to raise awareness of
excellence and track-record in Australian ICT research. The campaign
‘Australian ICT, you’re already using it’ using examples of Australian inventions
such as Wi-Fi, Google Map and the l4 microkernel had great impact.
• Involvement in the Australian Government International Science Linkages
Program grant funding (for an Australia-Europe ICT research network) which
supported the attendance of the seven universities at the event. NICTA also
directed support to early and mid career NICTA researchers to develop stronger
networks around European Commission projects;
• targeted meetings with the Fraunhofer Institute and INRIA, SAP Research,
European Parliament and European Commission representatives;
In Q4, our international linkages activity included:
• continuing to grow the work of the Fraunhofer Project Group in Transport and
Logistics and Future Logistics Living Lab. Prof Dieter Rombach opened the
Fraunhofer Project Group in Transport and Logistics in December;
• holding a workshop with IMEC on potential collaboration opportunities;
• continuing to encourage Techfest 2011 attendance by strategic partners; and
• meeting with the European Commission Directorate General for Information
Society and Media (DG INFSO) to identify next steps for a joint-call in ICT
between Australia and the EC.
Future Internet workshop, Sydney 4-5 November, 2010 (Milestone 6)
On 4-5 November, NICTA hosted the 1st International Workshop on Content
Delivery and Services for Mobile and Fixed users with a strong line-up of 65
international and national presenters and participants. Representatives from
European research institutes Fraunhofer, ETH Zurich, CNRS, European Corporate
Research Labs including Technicolor Labs, Telefonica, T Labs, Deutsche Telecom,
as well as Microsoft research, key US universities, Australian universities including
UNSW, the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne and NICTA. The
workshop helped connect Australian researchers to international networks and
has led to the proposal for a Privacy-Preserving Service Delivery Platform project
for FP7 Call 7 Objective ICT-2011.1.5.

International Strategy - Asia
In late 2010 NICTA started to develop an Asia strategy to build up existing
researcher-to-researcher links and consolidate relationships with research
partners. Key activities in 2010 included:
• The research collaboration with Singapore’s A-STAR I2R institute on the
maritime mesh networks project was completed and a new collaboration on
opportunistic mobile communications within the Trusted Networking project.
• NICTA sent senior staff to Japan in October 2010 to develop new opportunities
and build existing relationships.
National Institute of Informatics (NII) and NICTA had a Computer Vision
and Video Content Analysis workshop as part of the current agreement
with NII.
David Skellern met with Professor Michiaki Miyake and other senior staff
from Japan’s National Institute for Information and Communications.
Professor Miyaki plans to visit NICTA in March 2011.
NICTA has signed an MOU with Japan’s Nomura Research Institute to study
the use of ICT in urban, industrial and social infrastructure, with a view to
developing recommendations for research and commercial applications.
NICTA being invited as a guest of IBM to attend their Smarter Cities world
leaders conference in Shanghai in June. NICTA delegates (Dean Economou
and Liz Jakubowski) joined an Australian delegation of around 25 industry,
research and government representatives.
Nick Barnes and Chunhua Shen being invited as part of an ACT
Government trade delegation to showcase the VIBE research project at the
Australian pavilion in Shanghai in July.
Rob Fitzpatrick being invited as a guest of Austrade to speak at an ICT
event in the Australian Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in September .
International Strategy – national leadership role
NICTA is building a competitive position as an international leader for ICT
engagement in Europe in 2010 through the EC’s JSTCC, ICT Theme workshop,
mini-symposium and the EC ICT event in Brussels. The Australia-Europe ICT
network includes NICTA, CSIRO, 8-10 universities (using NICTA’s Research
Strategy Advisory Council and existing networks) and corporate labs SAP,
Cochlear, Resmed and IBM. NICTA coordinated the Australian presence and the
European Commission’s ICT Event Digitally Driven in Q3. The work toward
establishing a joint-call between the EC and Australia is a national initiative.
3. Stakeholder agreements and relationships
In 2010, NICTA re-signed two funding agreements and received additional
funding.
In Q4 NICTA secured:
• A new funding deed with the Victorian Government of $33 million over 4 years;
• Additional funding from the NSW Government of $9 million over three years
(2010-2012);
45
• A new funding agreement with the Australian Government for $185.5 m (20112015)
4. Implementing the communications plan
In 2010 we implemented the communications plan and worked to improve the
ability of the organisation to clearly communicate complex technical ideas to a
broad audience.
During 2010, the amount of media coverage doubled from 653 media mentions
in 2009 up to 1,313 in 2010 with national media coverage tripling in 2010.
During 2010, NICTA held Technets in Queensland, NSW, Canberra and Victoria,
published NICTA News, managed a broad spectrum of media engagements
including the CEO on Sky Business News (NBN Roundtable) and a full page
Sydney Morning Herald sports sections story on HPI technology for elite swim
training. Media mentions totalled 520 during Q4, of which 30% related to spin-out
companies and the balance were NICTA-specific. John Parker (CTO of Implant
Systems) and the implant systems work on chronic pain management received
global media coverage.
5. National linkages activity
In 2010, NICTA’s other linkages activity included:
CSIRO and DSTO
• CSIRO: Agreed to cooperate under a strategic agreement to bring combined
resources of both organisations together to undertake large scale
engagements for deployments of technology. Initial target areas are NBNrelated trials and smart infrastructure.
• Announcement of the CSIRO/NICTA collaboration to establish the Australian
Centre for Broadband Innovation (ACBI), supported by funding from NSW State
Government. This was launched on 7 December 2010. Dr Terry Percival is
NICTA’s representative in this initiative.
• NICTA/CSIRO participated in an Austrade Mission to Japan, Korea and
Singapore on Broadband and the Digital Economy. Dr Phil Robertson (NICTA
COO) was the delegate.
• A series of 4 ICT Roundtable meetings with CSIRO and DSTO during the course
of the year to coordinate our activity and identify areas of potential
collaboration. NICTA was represented by Dr David Skellern and Dr Phil
Robertson.
• Joint preparation for AusInnovate 2011 at CeBIT 2010 between NICTA, CSIRO,
DSTO and Hannover Fairs Australia.
• An executive-level joint review of NICTA-DSTO collaboration in Adelaide on 26
October.
Clusters
Embedded Systems Australia
46
The NICTA-led TruckOn — Overhead Collision Avoidance (formerly, iProtect) Project
was an important achievement in 2010. The project generated a provisional
patent and is being adapted into a working model for installation in the Future
Logistics Living Lab, as an example of future safety technologies for road carriers.
The ICT for Life Sciences Forum
The ICT for Life Sciences Forum is a collaboration between public and private
research institutions in life sciences that connects researchers from the life
sciences and ICT communities.
In 2010, the Forum held eight events, including the 2010 Graeme Clark Oration
and a presentation by Professor David Bowtell of the Peter MacCallum Cancer
Centre on "Cracking the Cancer Code".
eGovernment Cluster
The e-Government Cluster draft strategic plan was developed and circulated for
comment. Many activities and events have been held during the year, including: a
“Cloud Camp” workshop in Canberra, for 80 attendees; a seminar entitled “Cloud
Computing in Government” on the 13th October in conjunction with the Project
Management Institute; Jon Gray attended the Future Gov Summit in Malaysia (1315 Oct) as an invited VIP guest; and in December, the Cluster hosted a Christmas
function in conjunction with the AIIA and launched a new look website and
information brochures. In December, the cluster proposed to Alphabet Media that
Canberra host the 2011 FutureGov Summit.
v) Commercialisation NICTA’s commercialisation objective is to facilitate technology transfer and create
channels to market for NICTA research.
NICTA’s innovative approach to ICT commercialisation sets the organisation apart
from many research institutes both in Australia and overseas. We provide preseed support in the form of market validation grants to validate the commercial
potential of our research as well as funds for proof-of-concept development.
Further, when launching a spin out company, NICTA’s practice to take only a
minority position, is more generous than many other institutes and private sector
labs.
2010 in summary
A number of areas showed great progress during 2010, including a growing
assimilation of commercialisation as ‘the way we do research’. Increasingly,
teams are working with industry, considering products or services that may
develop from research breakthroughs, engaging with domain experts and
discussing alternative paths to market. Tangible outcomes during 2010 include:
• the creation of new entities inside NICTA where customer interaction and
feedback is essential to determine market potential and de-risking
external investment (mContext, Goanna, BrainGauge, AutoMap);
47
•
•
•
an increasing awareness of NICTA ‘deal flow’ among the investor
community here and overseas;
a growing awareness of NICTA among relevant industry sectors; and
the development of an R&D Services capability, giving NICTA the potential
to substantially enrich our end-user orientation, accelerate marketreadiness of new technologies, focus research efforts and enhance our
ability to build a stronger ICT sector in Australia.
That said, NICTA is no different from other innovators in facing many challenges to
successful commercialisation, given:
• a continuing disappearance of investment funds for early-stage technology
(high risk asset class) and the general failure of venture capitalists to
generate super-normal returns;
• an increasing need for technologies to be ‘market-ready’ – meaning that
NICTA needs to ‘incubate’ projects longer before they will attract external
investment; and
• a need for broader awareness of NICTA across more industry sectors, and
greater understanding of our potential to contribute to industry
performance and profitability.
Key outcomes of the reporting period were:
NICTA-wide projects (Cross Lab)
Ultra-high Speed Wireless Networks (formerly GiFi)
Commercialisation of the Ultra-high Speed Wireless Network technology (through
startup company Nitero) is being led by Pat Kelly, an experienced US
semiconductor executive. The engineering focus of the GiFi / Nitero team is on
the next spin of the 65nm radio which is on target for tape out and fabrication.
Nitero is focused on closing the first round of funding with Southern Cross Venture
Partners (Australia) and Austin Ventures (Texas, USA). An application for a grant
from Commercialisation Australia has been submitted, as has an application to a
Texas-based funding body.
Smart Transport and Roads Project (STaR)
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems
(MASCOS) is looking to join with NICTA in our proposal to RTA for STaRMetric
Stage 1.
NICTA was:
• Sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the NSW
Department of Industry & Innovation to participate in a USA/Australia
dialogue on sustainable cities in Los Angeles and Boston during January.
• Invited to join the Austroads Industry Advisory Group on connected
mobility. The Advisory Group has been formed to assist Austroads and the
state roads jurisdictions in the formulation and execution of a national
strategy for intelligent transport systems implementation.
48
•
Engaged to provide input to systems enhancements being undertaken at
the Transport Management Centre.
Cognitive load management techniques are being considered in a proposal to
help VicRoads overcome user resistance to a multi-million dollar systems
upgrade.
Embedded Systems Australia (ESA)
NICTA met its revised milestones for 2010 of providing a major end-of-year ESA
event and two newsletters for 2010. NICTA and ESA were also gold sponsors at
the National Computer Science School embedded systems programming course
for secondary students held in January 2011.
The major achievement for 2010 was completion of the NICTA-led
TruckOn Overhead Collision Prevention (formerly, iProtect) Project. The project
generated recognition at ministerial level in NSW government; however a
proposed Phase 2 with the RTA is not proceeding. TruckOn has applied for a
provisional patent based on its work. The project is being adapted into a working
model for installation in the Future Logistics Living Lab, as an example of future
safety technologies for road carriers.
Spin-out Status
Audinate
Audinate continues to execute its business plan, and secured several significant
new customers during 2010. Audinate is preparing for the National Association of
Music Merchants (NAMM) show in January 2011 (the largest music product trade
show in the world) where several of their customers will debut products that
include Audinate.
Cohesive Data
Cohesive Data is continuing to seek funding but has wound down operations due
to cash shortage. The founders are pursuing two specific funding opportunities
with the aim of closing one of them by the end of Q2 2011.
Monitoring Division
With NICTA's continued research support (under an RSA), Monitoring Division has
made some progress on addressing performance issues with their technology.
However, it is unclear that the product enabled by these advances will address a
market of sufficient size that the investor (Starfish) will be motivated to supply the
additional funds necessary to re-start the business.
7IP
7IP discontinued operations in 2009 after failing to secure a relationship with a
distributor or to attract an investor. NICTA has ownership of the intellectual
property underlying the company.
49
Open Kernel Labs
OKL continues to thrive, with its technology now in well over 1 billion mobile
devices worldwide. It recently announced software that enables an encrypted
mobile phone to be built using off the shelf mobile componentry – a unique
offering in this high margin niche market.
Additionally, a number of teams are working towards creating a spin-out company
during the next two years. This pipeline includes:
•
Scalify (VRL) – introducing a new distributed game platform to the
rapidly growing massively multiplayer online games sector;
•
Saluda (ATP) – a sophisticated medical implant with interactive pain
management capabilities providing patients new levels of care and
mobility;
•
Goanna (NRL)– a software services company that provides modelchecking for code developers during, rather than after, compilation;
•
AutoMap (CRL) – a sign recognition and computer vision capability
already providing services to the leading navigation services provider in
Australia, and
•
BrainGauge (ATP) – a company which uses cognitive load management
science to pre-qualify the ability of call centre operators to handle
stress.
NICTA Laboratory commercialisation activity
Canberra Research Laboratory (CRL)
Automap
AutoMap is pursuing a number of commercial opportunities including Geomatic
Technologies, GeoNav and Navteq. As at the end of 2010, a company specialising
in map creation had positioned more than 1.5 million in-car, portable and mobile
navigation devices with map data supported by NICTA.
Interferex
The femtocell market had a significant event in late 2010 with Broadcom (a multinational fabless semiconductor communications chip company) purchasing a
competitive solution to InterfereX (Percello) for $86+m (Percello had taken $20m
of VC investment). This provided significant confirmation of the market and the
InterfereX development path towards a solution, given IFX’s similar chip
architecture and design approach. InterfereX has continued to explore potential
funding options in Australia and internationally. In Australia two wireless operators
are committed to launching femtocells in 2011.
InterfereX has developed system modelling software that can be used to
determine an accurate methodology for predicting the deployment and business
case for the technology. This tool isn't available in the marketplace today leading
to inaccurate deployment planning. Dr Mark Reed (Principal Researcher) is in
50
discussions with all three wireless operators on how this tool can benefit their
business.
Business Adaptation and Interoperation (BAI) & eGovernment Activities
The BAI/eGovernment team successfully completed work for the Defence
Integrated Intelligence Backbone (IIB) project. The project is a $750,000 R&D
Services project with Rapid Prototyping Development and Evaluation (RPDE) and
the Chief Information Officer Group (CIOG) in Defence. The team is developing a
custom software application for Defence Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements as well as conducting Pilot Project Analysis
for proposed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) projects within defence.
Human Performance Improvement (HPI)
The Human Performance Improvement team is focusing on swimming devices
and sports analysis. Discussions and technology development have continued
with a small number of global industry partners with a view to introducing HPI’s
prototype into production. Commercial delays in potential partners relating to the
2012 Olympics have slowed progress in this area.
The HPI Sports Analysis team worked on getting end-user validation and industry
engagement. Michelle Carden (Commercialisation Manager) and Joachim
Gudmundsson (Principal Researcher) visited Sports Universal (S.U.P sas) in
France. Sports Universal is a company that supplies video analysis software to
football clubs in 20 countries and also supplies analysis information to
broadcasters, mobile phone suppliers, and other organisations. Industry feedback
indicates that this is unique and valuable technology and would be an asset
within product portfolios.
In addition a number of end-users including Craig Duncan, Sports Analyst for
Sydney FC, provided the following feedback: “The analysis (is) a very worthwhile
project. I am most enthusiastic about it in respect to analysing opposition teams
as well as our own player’s movements on the field. The automated aspect is the
most encouraging as much analysis is limited by man hours so I feel many clubs
would be most interested in this product”.
ATP Research Laboratory (ATP)
Business Adaptation and Interoperation (BAI)
The BAI team has been highly active in engaging with the business sector –
introducing public cloud concepts to a leading financial services institution and
publishing/engaging widely on software infrastructure. A team-authored article on
standardisation lessons learnt was published in the December issue of ASFA
SuperFunds magazine. Other superannuation industry engagements/discussions
have continued with KPMG, and by reference in Jeremy Cooper's draft report
about establishing a superannuation industry standards governance body.
Cloud computing team members have been involved in the IQPC Cloud Computing
Australasia event, as well as providing an authored piece by Dr Anna Liu in
Government Technology Review, and a draft whitepaper with Momentum SI
(engaged with Commonwealth Bank of Australia).
51
Scalable Vision Machines (SVMs)
This team has developed rapidly both in research and understanding of the
market potential for their unique capabilities. An initial Market Validation Grant
explored potential market solutions for SVMs. Cloud Vendors in the US identified
opportunities for a compute-orientated feature and for Cloud analytics solutions. A
graphics processor manufacturer (Nvidia) outlined the pieces required to make
compute-intensive feature development and infrastructure support a reality in the
cloud.
Smart Mobile Content Distribution (SMCD)
The SMCD project is tackling the capital crunch faced by mobile
telecommunications network operators and overlaying machine learning
capabilities to smooth out peak demand periods.
Implant Systems
Limited human trials have commenced with very encouraging results. A company
has been formed to commercialise the technology in the treatment of neuropathic
pain. Saluda Medical is currently trying to raise funds and has generated
considerable interest from European investors. Documents to formalise the "spinout" between NICTA and Saluda Medical are being negotiated and plan to be
executed in Q2 2011.
Brain Gauge (Cognitive Load/DSIM)
This team has made good progress in developing their business plan and trialling
their recruitment tool with call centre customers.
Neville Roach Laboratory (NRL)
Goanna
Commercialisation of the static code tool (Goanna) will continue with Infineon in
Europe (product licensing via a distributor), Mathworks in the US (OEM licensing)
and Huawei in China (R&D services). If timing and magnitude of any of these
potential deals falls in Goanna’s favour then the company will formally spinout of
NICTA.
ATOMIC Vehicle Routing and Scheduling
Andrew Purchas, who has previously worked with Atomic completing a Market
Validation Grant project and developing a pipeline of industry engagements, joins
the project team as an embedded commercialisation manager. The project has
successfully completed two R&D Service assignments for Goodman Fielder’s
Queensland Baker Division and has just commenced an R&D Service assignment
with George Weston Foods.
Trusted Embedded Systems
2010 and Q4 in particular has seen substantial commercial progress. Final
arrangements with OK Labs (OKL) for a joint release of a verified X86 instantiation
of SEL4 were completed in readiness for a Q1 2011 global launch. A wider
corporate arrangement between NICTA and OKL to facilitate NICTA providing R&D
Services based on OKL’s IP to existing and prospective OKL’s clients is being
negotiated and is expected to be in place in Q1 2011. The team has identified
52
and are nurturing a number of prospective R&D service clients. Negotiations with
Intel for a Collaborative Research agreement on an Automatic Device Driver
Generation project have successfully concluded and final sign-off will occur in Q1
2011.
Video-processing
A number of direct and accessible commercial opportunities have been identified
leveraging NICTA’s video processing capability – following the engagement with
Microsoft Research China on “video based human behaviour detection” –
including shipboard perimeter surveillance (a DSTO RFI) and customer behaviour
analysis in retail environments. Active leads are being pursued in both these
areas. An agreement is also being negotiated with Traficon (the world leading
traffic camera supplier) for use of NICTA’s car detection algorithms.
XML Technologies (previously ComQu)
Commercialisation of NICTA’s XML Technologies has essentially ceased. After a
number of discussions and formal proposals to: CSC for large scale XML Querying,
Salmat for large scale XML document processing, and an innovative ‘customer
behaviour’ data capture and analytic platform for the retail industry, no contracts
were concluded. Work in NICTA will cease in this area and options for open
sourcing this IP will be investigated in 2011.
Victoria Research Laboratory (VRL)
Constraints Programming Platform
During 2010 a joint venture company – Opturion P/L – (formed by CPP team
members and Genix Ventures) commenced development of a detailed marketentry strategy and Business Plan for its proposed G12-based “Application
Developer Platform”. In December an Evaluation and Demonstration Licence was
signed with Opturion Pty Ltd. In December Genix Ventures also received written
confirmation from IBM Australia Ltd of the integration of their existing ‘LCP
Optimiser’ solution into IBM’s global Solution Architecture for Energy and Utilities
(SAFE) framework, as well as an invitation to commence validation in IBM’s global
Travel and Transport, plus new Oil & Gas Industry frameworks. Opturion intends to
partner into these global IBM customer-solution frameworks, via Genix Ventures,
as part of its proposed market-entry strategy.
In the transport sector, Toll Group agreed to work with the CPP team on scoping a
G12 platform-based demonstrator for new Distribution Centre location and
planning, based on existing CPP scoping work for VicRoads.
Distributed Game Platform (formerly P2P)
A commercial version of the team’s Badumna games platform was released in
October 2010 after a six month beta testing process. Badumna-powered
applications went live in Europe and America in December 2010, with two
commercial application developers. The European application is a 3D
edutainment application for children (www.polarheroes.com), and the American
application is a 3D entertainment application (www.globworld.com). Scalify Pty
Ltd, the project’s commercialisation vehicle, continued presentations to and
discussions with prospective investors.
53
Smart Water (formerly WIN – Water Information Networks)
Discussions are underway with South East Water (Melbourne-based Water
Authority) regarding collaborative research linkages exploring solutions to realtime management of Melbourne’s South East Water urban water supply and
sewerage network.
The project coordinated a joint IBM/University of Melbourne/NICTA water
workshop to shape a water research program for the IBM Global R&D Laboratory.
Smart Water’s project research themes were considered as potential future
activities. Smart Water was invited to present its FarmNet project outcomes and
research at the Australian World Bank Water Day, in Washington DC, and at
selected United Nations’ Agencies in New York in February 2011.
BioMedical and Life Sciences
Bionic Eye: Negotiations to finalise outstanding commercial and Bionic Vision
Australia (BVA) consortia implementation agreements were concluded in
December, and agreements executed.
Automated Microscopic Cell Tracking: the team has released test versions of the
‘alpha’ Cell Tracking prototype system for user testing and validation feedback
from WEHI wet-lab researchers and technicians. Based on industry interviews and
research user feedback, the team is looking to develop a commercial prototype.
The team is re-designing Cell Tracking’s software architecture so that the system
can seamlessly offer the final product as a stand-alone, or as a
server/cluster/cloud based, solution. This will allow coverage of all the major
commercialisation pathways: a remote hosted software-as-a-service solution;
modular package licensing to either end-users directly or via OEM’s, or
development of a full software suit platform.
Biomedical Text Processing (formerly BioTala): participated in a tender
submission to the Victorian Government for a ‘Pharmacogenomic Decision
Support System’ technology demonstrator for Melbourne Health. The project team
also entered into a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with UpToDate, the most
trusted provider of evidence-based medical information to clinical institutions,
clinicians, and consumers.
Computational Genomics: entered discussions with Illumina regarding RNAsequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly. A joint project with the Cancer
Metastasis Laboratory at the Monash Institute of Medical Research is underway.
Diagnostic Genomics: progressed work in the detection of Carcinoma of Unknown
Primary. Circadian Technologies and Healthscope have jointly expressed interest
in development support for a commercial product offering.
Queensland Research Laboratory (QRL)
Mesh Protocols
The Mesh Protocols team continue to develop their technology in partnership with
US-based wireless mesh company FIretide, and through early stage discussions in
a range of Australian applications including mining.
54
Business Process Compliance (BPC)
ComplianceTrack, a provider of compliance management software as service
tools, has committed to testing the compliance methodology developed as part of
BPC project with some of their customers (Johnson & Johnson, Wells Fargo and
Genzyme). A proof of concept grant is being finalised to support this trial, and to
test a number of business model hypotheses.
Biosecurity
During late 2010, the Biosecurity project team demonstrated its prototype
wireless field guide system with assistive mobile multimedia query technologies at
QRL’s TechNet research showcase. This prototype is a component of the contract
research being undertaken with Biosecurity Queensland for the Department of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The project team also introduced its
framework for automatic identification and screening of red imported fire ants.
The team met with Peter Hill, Director of Unmanned Systems Programs, V-TOL
Aerospace Pty Ltd. Mr Hill introduced the technical specifications and system
functions of intelligent unmanned airplanes. Possible research, engineering and
business relationships may emerge with V-TOL.
Advanced Computational Proteomics (ACP)
ACP obtained supporting letters from a partner, Institute for Glycomics, and from
its collaborator, Alchemia Ltd., a listed Australian biotechnology company focusing
on the discovery and development of human therapeutic products. The project
team also established a long-term research linkage with IIT Delhi. Currently, the
team is surveying the research and development activities in proteomics and
related areas in Australia.
Advanced Surveillance
The group is continuing work with iOmniscient, seeking a successful
trial/reference site. Three research contracts to the value of $120K have been
initiated and are being finalised to start in Q1 2011. In collaboration with Sparton
Corporation in Florida, USA, a whitepaper was submitted to US Department of
Homeland Security to develop an Improved Sensor Performance through
Integration of CBRN sensors, Underwater Acoustic Sensors and Video into a
Scalable Security Network Enabling Improved Detection and Tracking of Small
and Large Vessels by Overcoming Environmental Clutter.
COMLEX
This project closed at the end of Q4 2010. NICTA has granted a licence to UQ for
use of the COMLEX conversation analysis tool for educational and research
purposes. Two commercialisation possibilities are being explored: with a UKbased call centre (CPP) to determine whether a modified version of the COMLEX
tool will enable them to solve a major quality assurance and compliance issue;
and with Australian company QSR International regarding possible acquisition of
the tool and team.

Milestones Not Met at 31 December 2010
Milestone 6: One person per lab enrolled in the internship program.
An informal internship program was implemented in CRL and QRL
ATP and NRL started implementing the internship program, and while a number of
employees expressed an interest in this program, progress to the next stage did
not happen on schedule, due to, in most cases, other commitments by
employees. While HR was due to review the program at the end of 2010, it is
expected that significant organisational changes at NICTA foreshadowed by
NICTA’s new Chief Executive Officer will provide new opportunities for people to
gain new experiences within the organisation.
Milestone 24: Introduce a student-led seminar program.
While there was active student participation in seminar programs, few were
actually led by students. There was early enthusiasm from students to start a
student-led seminar series, and a couple of seminars were initially led by
students. However, after a couple of events, students did not continue the
initiative. There was, however, active student participation in other seminar
programs.
Milestone 28: The Embedded Systems Australia cluster will hold 6 events across NSW,
Queensland and Victoria, It will issue quarterly newsletters, continue to develop 3
projects and increase sponsorship by adding 3 industry sponsors.
Milestone not met . It became apparent early in 2010 that this milestone would not be
met by Q4 due to lack of active participation by ESA members. In light of this, NICTA
revised these targets. The revised targets are as follows:
• NICTA continues to maintain the website and on-line Industry Capability Directory
• Two newsletters
• One end-of-year event
57
• No new sponsors
• Approx. 40% chance of follow-on project to TruckOn. No other projects are likely.
NICTA met the revised milestones for 2010 of providing a major end-of-year ESA event
and two newsletters for 2010. NICTA and ESA were also gold sponsors at the National
Computer Science School embedded systems programming course for secondary
students held in January 2011.
An important achievement for 2010 was the completion of the NICTA-led
TruckOn Overhead Collision Prevention Project. The project generated a provisional
patent and is being adapted into a working model for installation in the Future Logistics
Living Lab, as an example of future safety technologies for road carriers.
Milestone 34: Each lab to attract at least 5 visiting researchers from strategically
important institutes
The Queensland Research Laboratory failed to attract 5 visiting researchers from
targeted international partners identified in the international plan. The other labs
each attracted at least 5 visiting researchers from targeted international partners
There were, however, 156 international visitors to NICTA in 2010. ATP, NRL, VRL
and CRL labs attracted strategically important visitors from universities and
corporate research labs such as the Fraunhofer Institute, INRIA, SAP Research
and IBM Research.

b) Consistency with the Intellectual Property Policy
A revised Intellectual Property (IP) Policy was implemented in 2009 and has not been
changed during 2010. The Policy continues to be administered by the Intellectual Property
Committee (“IPC”), which was chaired the General Counsel during 2010.
The functions of the IPC include but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provide input and advice to the IP Department;
Provide assistance with selecting IP for protection;
Considering appropriate protection strategies for IP;
Reviewing and implementing NICTA’s IP procedures and protocols;
Advising on education strategy for NICTA Staff to raise awareness of IP rights, the IP
policy and related procedures and protocols;
Constituting such sub-committees as it deems necessary for the effective and
efficient management of IP; and
Any other functions given to it by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of NICTA in
relation to IP.
The policy states that the IP Committee should meet at least on a quarterly basis. Previously
the IPC had met every month, however during 2010 the committee elected, on a trial basis,
to meet face-to-face only once every 3 months (as allowed by the policy). The IP Department
continued to administer IP matters, obtain input and post decisions and recommendations
onto NICTA’s secure IPC wiki site. In this way IPC members could log on and enjoy ‘virtual’
access to necessary information in real-time, rather than attending a monthly meeting. A
‘virtual meeting’ meant that submissions and recommendations were posted to the secure
IPC wiki, feedback secured then cleared on a monthly basis.
Through employment and other contracts NICTA takes ownership of the IP created by its
staff and students. As NICTA becomes involved in an increasing number of collaborations
with third parties (like Bionic Vision Australia) and undertakes contract R&D services,
unencumbered ownership of IP is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. To reduce
uncertainty (and the consequent devaluing effect upon IP rights), IP ownership
arrangements must be documented in writing for all collaborations or dealing with third
parties.
The IP counsel maintains a register of all registrable IP which has been notified to the IP
Committee. This register is in the form of an electronic, searchable database (Contracts,
Legal and IP… “CLIP”), designed and developed by NICTA IT in close consultation with
NICTA’s Legal and IP dept. CLIP has worked very well since it was instituted around 3 years
ago and has significantly reduced paper storage requirements while increasing data
searchability.
The IP Policy mandates NICTA to implement protocols for recognition and reward of NICTA
staff who contribute IP. While the IP Benefits Program has been in place since 2009, during
2010 NICTA also inaugurated a company-wide “NICTA Patent Prize”, with a cash prize of
$2500 generously donated by a firm of patent attorneys.
Criterion:
Purpose:
The best engagement in patent activity from NICTA researchers;
To recognise and reward the individual or group which has engaged in the
patent process in the most effective and exemplary manner.
The judges (NICTA’s IPC, in consultation with the attorneys) reviewed all the patent
presentations and invention disclosures of 2010 and ranked the nominees according to
responsiveness, initiative, and strategic awareness of IP and patents. The prize will be
presented (with appropriate public recognition) at the next Techfest so as to have a
company-wide audience.
Research project teams and members of the commercialisation and IP teams jointly
attended and moderated numerous project-centric IP Strategy Sessions and IP Search
Sessions during 2010. The Search Sessions provide assistance and instruction to the
researchers in how to search databases in an efficient manner to identify published patent
literature which is relevant to their field. The Strategy Sessions are more variable in their
format and usually involve a half day session in the presence of the entire project research
team (moderated by someone with IP experience). They identify inventions and know-how
arising from the research strategy, and nominate an appropriate means for protection (or
publication, if that is found to be the best strategy) The feedback we have received from
researchers is that they found these targeted sessions very useful to understand the IP
landscape relevant to their specific project and also to identify relevant areas for IP
protection.
As a result of the IP Strategy Sessions NICTA’s IP department has received generally higher
quality invention disclosures, resulting in better patent applications. The sessions have also
helped research teams to cohere around a strategy.
As a result of the Project IP Search Sessions many researchers have become more adept
and confident at conducting their own patent searches; The results form a useful adjunct to
their usual literature searches and a vital component to their invention disclosures.
Research staff and students are encouraged to publish their research findings, but all
publications must be screened for potentially commercially valuable IP (usually by someone
in a supervisory role to the author). Given NICTA’s economic impact and national interest
stance, early publication of research results under an open policy will always be preferred,
except where:
• The IP was specifically generated through significant investment to support a ‘family’
of existing NICTA IP;
• The IP was generated in collaboration with a third party and the negotiated terms of
the collaboration impose some constraints upon publication;
• Further development within NICTA can be shown to enhance the commercialisation
potential, value and benefit to Australian industry (and therefore the existing IP
should be kept confidential for the time being).
There were no circumstances arising between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010 that
led to any departure from the terms of the IP Policy.

NICTA’s technology showcase event TechFest, which will be held 22 – 23 February 2011.
The Research Strategy Advisory Council (RSAC) provides advice to NICTA on the national
research and innovation context and facilitates the sharing of research directions across
major national research institutions. The RSAC met once in 2010.
The membership of the RSAC includes representatives from NICTA’s member and partner
universities – the University of New South Wales, the Australian National University, the
University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, Griffith University, the Queensland
University of Technology and the University of Queensland. The RSAC includes
representatives from the Australian Government research laboratories, the Defence Science
and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organisation (CSIRO). The broad membership of the council provides a national
overview of ICT research and enables participants to develop partnerships, avoid duplication
and add to the Australian innovation system.

(*) On 30th of May 2006, the Group entered into a Heads of Agreement with Leighton Properties Pty Ltd for the
development of a building to be constructed in Canberra and the subsequent lease of these premises by the
Group for an initial term of ten (10) years. $17.2 million of this commitment had been prepaid to Leighton
Properties Pty Ltd, during the 2006 reporting period and as at 31 December 2010 $9.4m remains as a
prepayment (2009: $11.9m). The commitment relating to this lease agreement in Canberra is depicted in the
table above.
97
Explanation of loss in financial statements
The loss of $7.7m for 2010 was mainly attributed to non-cash items and provisions which
are required to be taken up in the statutory financial statements (under the Australian
Accounting Standards) and do not reflect the underlying cash flow. Cash flow projections in
the budget and plan for outer years ensure that there are sufficient funds available for the
expenditure and maintenance of a cash buffer for liquidity purposes. The accounting profit
or loss from year to year does not necessarily reflect the cash flows each year. For example
grants received from the Commonwealth government may not necessarily be taken up as
income in the statutory financial statements in the same year of receipt. They may be
partially deferred to the subsequent year depending on the extent to which the grant was
utilised.
Amortisation of rent prepaid for Canberra $2.6: The rent for the Canberra premises was
prepaid in 2007 for the period until May 2014. NICTA has taken up $2.6m as expenditure in
2010 even though there was no cash outlay during the year.
Deferral of Grant Revenue $1.2m: In 2010 Grant Revenue of $1.2m was deferred, thus
reducing the operating income in 2010. Page 26 of the financial statements notes that
Grant Revenue from DBCDE reduced from $31.8m in 2009 to $25.9m in 2010. This
reduction does not reflect the actual amount of grant received in these years, but instead
relates to timing of income recognition. In 2008 $4.4m was deferred to the 2009 year,
which explains the larger amount of revenue in 2009 compared with 2010.
Depreciation $1.0: The income statement reflects a depreciation charge of $1.0m net of
lease rentals on fit-outs.
Provisions $1.3m: Provisions for redundancy, long service leave and onerous leases are not
reflected in the cash flows in 2010. Where appropriate (eg redundancy) they are budgeted
to be paid in 2011.
As noted above, the accounting adjustments made (to comply with Australian Accounting
Standards) have resulted in the variance between the income statement and the actual
cash flows. The Statement of Cash Flows in page 13 shows that the actual cash balance of
$18m at 31 December 2010 has not changed from Dec 2009.
98
h) Statement of Other Contributions
Other Contributions
Member and Affiliate Contributions
Under the funding agreements with the Commonwealth of Australia, National ICT Australia
Limited and its controlled entity (the “Company”) is required to disclose cash and in-kind
contributions received from the Company’s members.
Cash contributions
The Company received the following cash contributions in 2010 from members and partners:
CASH CONTRIBUTIONS 2010
ACT Government
$800,000
NSW Government
$5,000,000
Victoria Government
$4,000,000
Queensland Government
$2,780,000
TOTAL
$12,580,000
These contributions have been recognised and measured at the fair value of the contribution
received.
The methodology used to calculate the value of in-kind contributions is based on a publication of
the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (AVCC) dated February 1996 and titled ‘University
Research: Some Issues. The AVCC document provides a well founded basis for the costing and
charging for research in a ‘university context’. The paper provides a general statement of
application to universities across Australia, rather than being specific to any one particular
university or organisation.
The approach to costing set out in the AVCC paper represents an approach which can be
adopted in calculating the fair value of employees who are contributed to NICTA by universities.
In relation to the Contributed Employees of ANU and UNSW, applying the principles of the AVCC
approach raises the following considerations:
•
•
The level of salary on-costs will vary from Contributed Employee to Contributed
Employee. As noted in the AVCC paper, in some cases salary on-costs may be up to 52%
of salary costs. A more standard figure is likely to be in the range of 25% - 30%. Such an
employee by employee approach is broadly consistent with the financial information
required to be supplied in applications under the Cooperative Research Centres
Program.
The costing of infrastructure costs is based on the assumption that the Contributed
Employees are carrying out their duties using university infrastructure. For example, a
UNSW Contributed Employee who was to work full time at the NICTA premises located at
99
•
•
•
•
•
the Australian Technology Park in Redfern, would not be expected to have any
infrastructure costs associated with their particular costing.
The proportion of time which a Contributed Employee is ‘devoted’ to NICTA is taken into
account in determining fair value.
Given the nature of the research being undertaken by UNSW and ANU Contributed
Employees, the appropriate multiplier for determining infrastructure costs is 1.25
(namely, that which applies to laboratory based researchers).
The AVCC multiplier is based on a 1996 paper from the AVCC and data obtained at that
time from the Department of Employment, Education and Training for the higher
education system as a whole. It could be expected that the relevant multiplier would
change over time as underlying cost structures change.
Adopting the AVCC methodology has the attraction of representing a methodology
generic to universities and thus prima facie applicable to any university which becomes
an Alliance Partner of NICTA.
The application by NICTA of a common multiplier in respect of Contributed Employees,
regardless of the university providing the in-kind contribution, represents a sound
approach.
In respect of the contribution of other in-kind contributions, that is, other than contributed staff,
an ‘arms length’ transaction valuation methodology is used. This approach has been applied in
determining the gross values for in-kind valuations.
The value and breakdown of these contributions in 2010 are as follows:
IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS 2010
University of New South Wales
$4,387,503
University of Sydney
$1,321,084
Australian National University
$5,161,128
Melbourne University
$9,313,835
Griffith University
$488,560
Queensland University of Technology
$377,593
University of Queensland
ACT Government ( Payroll Tax Waiver )
TOTAL
$1,758,312
$357,746
$23,165,761
Project Collaborations and Research Services
Cash contributions made to the Company under project collaborations and research services
were $4,231,000 in 2010.
In-kind contributions under project collaborations were $5,043,928. Contributions include inkind effort of research or other professional staff time to the project, equipment and services.
These contributions have been recognised and measured at the fair value of the contribution
100
received. A review report has been prepared by Ernest & Young to substantiate in-kind
contributions.
Other Sources
Cash contributions from other sources were $1,340,000 in 2010. Other sources include
revenue from commercialisation of research, industry training provided by the company and
rental income.

m) Variation to this Agreement
No changes are emerging that would necessitate any variations to the Second Funding Agreement.
166
n) Actions Taken to Meet the Requirements Under Item 1.5(a)(xxxviii) and
Item 1.5(a)(xxxix)
Financial Management and Corporate Support Systems
a) Financial Management Systems
1. Finance Department: The NICTA Finance department uses the Sun-Systems general
accounting package. The chart of accounts structure in the Sun-Systems package is
designed to report in different dimensions appropriate to NICTA’s needs e.g. by income and
expense categories, laboratories, cost centres, locations, etc. The software packages consist
of a general ledger and various add-on modules including accounts payable, fixed assets,
accounts receivable, reporting and analysis, bank reconciliation and budgeting.
During 2010 we went live with a new online financial reporting tool. The system is accessible to all
budget holders and provides one source for both actual and budget financial information.
2. Human Resources Department: The NICTA Human Resources department uses a
specialised payroll software package called CHRIS-21. This package calculates the amount
to be paid to NICTA staff, and the provision for annual leave, as well as storing non-financial
information. The relevant financial transactions are passed on to the Finance department to
process in Sun-Systems.
HR has undertaken a review of induction and separation processes to ensure better
approach in delivering our services. During 2010 NICTA implemented a NICTA ID system to
have a centralised repository of all employees and students engaged or employed in the
organisation. NICTA also implemented the NICTA Alumni group using Linked In. Linked In
was chosen over a custom made dedicated website as it provides one data source for
alumni contact details. NICTA Alumni group will have an open forum discussion page, and
will be used to promote job opportunities and NICTA related events and news. It will also be
used to analyse the movements of our alumni.
HR also implemented a new online system to support recruitment processes. The careers
portal has also been improved to promote NICTA branding for potential candidates
3. Project Management Office: The NICTA Project Management Office (PMO) ensures all the
research projects are managed in line with the organisation’s policies. As all information
relating to projects is readily available within the PMO, it is the first point of contact for all
queries regarding projects, whether from research staff, management or external parties
and whether relating to project progress, project budget or general queries on the portfolio.
PMO uses the Project Information Repository System (PIRS)is to capture all information that
relates NICTA’s research activities in one central location. This is done either by direct entry
of information into the system or by displaying information which is hosted in other systems.
This system consists of a number of easy to navigate modules.

NICTA has developed a Contract, Linkages and IP system (CLIP) which captures the following
information:
a) Contract management. The system captures full details of all contracts and
agreements. It also has the functionality to:
•
•
•
Track milestones to ensure we meet our obligations to external parties.
Quantify, both cash and in-kind, the value of these contracts
Produce reports on the status of our contracts
b) Linkages. Taking details from executed agreements, CLIP contains information on
all third parties and classifies them in terms of engagement profile (strategic,
operational etc), level of relevance, risk, financial value etc. These attributes are then
collated into a master Linkage Register.
c) Intellectual Property (IP). CLIP is used to manage NICTA’s IP portfolio. All details
regarding invention disclosures, patents and trademarks (e.g. cost, due dates,
status, description, etc) are entered into the system giving us a comprehensive
overview of our IP portfolio.
CLIP has the facility to upload all documents relating to contracts and IP allowing them
to be stored centrally and easily shared by the management team.
5. On-line Data Collection
In order to maximise the accuracy and completeness of data collected for reporting
purposes, NICTA has implemented an on-line data collection system known as
iMPACT@NICTA. The system allows all NICTA research staff and students to directly enter
their achievements quickly and efficiently on-line making the collection process much more
effective. Information collected includes: Demonstrations/prototypes, editorial
memberships, external grants, prizes and awards, software releases, visits and visitors,
teaching courses etc.
6. Internal Audit
NICTA’s internal audit process was outsourced in 2007 to PricewaterhouseCoopers who
have been engaged to manage this function for a three year period. This process ensures
NICTA’s financial management system operates in line with the organisation’s policies. The
Internal Audit function reports to the Audit and Finance Committee and representatives from
PWC attend the Audit and Finance Committee meetings.

2. Research Themes and Projects
a) 2010 Research Themes and Projects Summary
NICTA’s research objective is to deliver research that is recognised for its excellence,
generates knowledge breakthroughs, creates user-focused technologies and progresses
scientific and engineering knowledge. Our Themes continue to guide the direction of our
research. During 2010 we focused our research efforts in our projects drawing on our
expertise and building critical mass.
In 2010 our research teams made excellent progress in achieving significant research
outcomes. Some key highlights from 2010 are summarised below.
• Device driver verification - a major advance in operating systems, which will completely
solve the device-driver problem, demonstrating synthesised drivers which perform at par
with traditional hand-written (and buggy) drivers. This has led to a paper in the
Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP), the world's leading operating
systems conference, and the beginnings of collaboration with major manufacturers.
• A new SAT (satisfiability) solving algorithm has been developed by NICTA researchers.
This algorithm is proved to strictly exceed, in theoretical power, the algorithm of choice
for the past decade. Empirical investigations show that this additional power can
translate into substantial practical gains.
Researchers have also devised new satisfiability-based algorithms for planning
(sequential decision making). Practical performance equals or surpasses that of statespace heuristic search algorithms which have prevailed in the last decade.
• The Spectral Imaging project team has developed new technology for illuminant recovery,
shape analysis and image descriptors in hyperspectral imaging, leading to many highprofile publications and a series of patents. This has potential applications in
computational photography, food security, and defence.
• The Implant Systems project team has made a significant scientific breakthrough in the
area of neuro-stimulation and understanding the evoked response of stimulated cells.
This is applicable initially in the area of pain management, but also has much broader
implications.
• In late 2009 NICTA’s seL4.verified team created the first ever formal proof of the
functional correctness of the implementation of a complete operating-system kernel. In
2010 the team described the science behind this breakthrough at a number of
international venues. The work was awarded Best Paper in the ACM Symposium on
Operating Systems Principle (SOSP) conference. This was the first ever Australian paper
in the 44-year history of one of the highest-impact publications for computer science.
Sel4 running on both ARM and x86 platforms is to be released in collaboration with OK
Labs in January 2011.

Summary project sheets
Advanced Surveillance (SAFE AS)
The security of Australia’s airports, sea ports, borders, large enterprises and strategic assets
is significantly enhanced by advanced surveillance systems. NICTA’s Advanced Surveillance
group is developing computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms that can be used in
security software. The software actively monitors CCTV footage and uses biometric and
visual cues to alert authorities to suspicious activities and events. This technology will
provide early warning of potential trouble as well as help authorities with forensic
investigations.
Project Start Date: July 2008
Project End Date: December 2011
Resources: 13.9 FTE (includes 5.7 NICTA staff, 1.2 contributed staff and 7 PhD students)
Project Leader: Brian Lovell (Brian.Lovell@nicta.com.au)
Research Lab: Queensland Research Laboratory
Research Theme: Making Sense of Data, Embedded Systems
Business Areas:
Software and Security, Environmental Management
Collaboration/Linkages:
• Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (NSST)
• Queensland Transport
• Queensland Rail
• Port of Brisbane
• Queensland Police Service
• Australian Customs and Border Security
• Ipswich City Council
• Canberra Airport
• University of Maryland
• Stanford University
• Avigilon
• iOmniscient
• SmartCube
Who will it help?
Law enforcement agencies, counter-terrorism units, customs and border security agencies
will use the results of this research to strengthen the security of our ports and borders. The
advanced surveillance techniques we have developed will also have direct application in
corporate settings such as building and casino security. Automatic organisation of photo
albums and face recognition applications for mobile phones are potential mass consumer
176
market applications. The technologies are currently being trialled at the Port of Brisbane and
are to be deployed at Queensland Rail and Ipswich City Council in 2011.
What’s under the hood?
We are providing leading and use-inspired research in the area of intelligent surveillance
networks and systems for scalable situational awareness in a safety and security context.
The project will leverage the value of installed CCTV networks by automating the monitoring
process to generate sensitive and reliable visual alarms.
We are building on the success of the preceding project (SAFE Sensors) by applying
computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms developed for specific real-world data
such as CCTV footage from cameras installed at airports, railway stations, or ports. The
unique combination of state-of-the-art identity inference and extremely low-resolution face
recognition provides a powerful solution to problems such as vandalism and theft. We are
also researching Markov Random Field based activity detection algorithms which are
insensitive to common problems such as camera vibration and dynamic backgrounds
including moving trees and water.
What’s next?
The project aims to grow by extending the linkages to major international research groups,
user agencies and vendors. Our aim is to be a global player in this space with active
projects with UK Police, the CIA, and the Dept of Attorney General, and Ministry of Homeland
Affairs, Singapore. In 2011, we plan to form a spin-out R&D services company. The team is
developing leading technology for low-resolution face recognition and addressing key issues
hindering identity inference and tracking in surveillance environments. The offline lowresolution face matching system from the preceding project is being commercialised and
forms the basis of the automated video-based recognition system. As part of the project,
extreme high-definition Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) CCTV surveillance cameras are being
deployed at the Port of Brisbane.
2010 significant achievements
• Technology planned for adoption by Ipswich City Council
• Demonstrated the Beta Version of real-time face recognition at IFSEC Security
Conferences, the largest in the world outside the US (Birmingham UK); CeBIT

What makes this research world-class?
The fundamental problem with automatic visual surveillance is largely the inability to control
many of the factors that make machine vision feasible in other environments such as parts
inspection in a manufacturing plant. For example, we often have little or no control over the
resolution or positioning of cameras, lighting, and weather. For these reasons, laboratory
systems tend to perform very poorly in the field as they encounter conditions that were not
seen in the laboratory.
This is why this project emphasises the importance of live video connectivity to security sites
including port and rail. For example, recent work at the Port of Brisbane demonstrated the
need for visual alarms that could be effective despite significant shaking of the cameras
and the movement of water and trees due to wind in a maritime environment.
This practical problem has led to excellent research outcomes where Markov Random Fields
are used to simultaneously mitigate the effects of both shaking cameras and dynamic
backgrounds. Furthermore, the group has recently introduced new techniques based on
Grassmanian Manifolds for effective and accurate image-set matching that can be used for
reliable identification of humans and objects in video sequences.
Artificial Intelligence for the Smart Grid (AI for the Smart Grid)
Topic: Businesses, households and the environment will all benefit from more reliable,
energy-efficient power supplies. This project is developing technology to automate the
management of electricity transmission and distribution networks.
Project Start Date: January 2010
Project Leader: Jussi Rintanen (Jussi.Rintanen@nicta.com.au)
Research Lab: Canberra Research Laboratory
Research Theme: Managing Complexity
Business area: Software Infrastructure
• Energy Australia
Who will it help?
The users of the technology developed in the project are electricity transmission and
distribution companies. The project will help improve the management of electricity
networks as they become more complex, as well as enable novel ways of controlling
networks that are not possible with existing technology.
Improved electricity networks will benefit all electricity users, including households, industry
and the public sector through more effective and efficient use of resources. These include
178
natural resources and investments in electricity infrastructure, as well as more reliable
supply of power.
The target application of the project is in electricity transmission and distribution networks.
We are working on fault diagnosis and network configuration and solving some of the
challenges of future electricity networks caused by renewable energy sources such as wind
and solar, and distributed co-generation (i.e. small-scale generators of electricity) with
heating or cooling as a by product.
We are developing models and modelling languages for diagnosis, monitoring and
supervisory control and algorithms for diagnosis, monitoring and supervisory control of
electricity networks using methods from logic, constraint solving and combinatorial search
algorithms. The performance of the algorithms in terms of end-user problems has been
analysed. One example made use of models and alarm data from NSW transmission
company TransGrid.
The two most important properties of the software systems developed in the project, from
the user’s perspective, are:
• The system is fully automated and model-based
• The system handles uncertainty of information about the current and future system
states, including locations of faults
What’s next?
The project will move on to:
• Identify application problems with end-users
• Solve the application problems, with support from end-users and in collaboration
with technology companies
• Pilot deployment with end-user partners in parallel with prototype product
development
• Commercialisation with technology partners.
After the pilot phase, the project plan will be revised according to the progress with external
engagements.
2010 Significant achievements
• Development of improved diagnosis and planning methods that are based on
reductions to the satisfiability problem of the propositional logic (SAT), specialised
methods for solving SAT problems representing diagnosis and planning problems.
• Development of powerful, model-based alarm processing techniques that are based
on most likely system trajectories
• Prototype system for diagnosis of electricity networks and alarm-processing
functionalities.

Computer Science, Springer-Verlag, 2010.
The project has developed leading SAT-based reasoning methods for diagnosis and
planning, and has demonstrated that the technology in general equals or surpasses the
power of competing planning methods, for example ones based on state-space search. In
contrast to state-space search methods, which look at all possible states (system
configurations) one at a time, our methods are capable of handling very large numbers of
states or state sequences, achieving scalability to much more complex systems.
AutoMap
Topic: In the rapidly growing GPS navigation market, consumers expect maps that are
accurate and up-to-date. Keeping these maps current is a labour-intensive, costly exercise
for map producers. NICTA’s technology automatically analyses video footage of traffic signs
and other roadside infrastructure to help update maps. This ensures that drivers can better
rely on their GPS system to give them critical information about everything from speed limits
to traffic restrictions.

Who will it help?
Consumers, who will have access to up-to-date maps on their mobile navigational devices;
digital map publishers, who will have access to lower-cost map data; and road authorities
who will be able to keep better track of their assets.
The AutoMap project is developing technologies and systems to automatically create and
update maps. The project is focused on producing digital maps with superior freshness,
180
richness, accuracy, cost and coverage for sale to digital map publishers. These publishers
are an important part of the global supply chain for personal navigation devices.
The project utilises advanced computer vision algorithms to automatically extract map data
from video data captured in third-party vehicles. Data collection is carried out by specialised
surveying vehicles or existing fleets equipped with the video processing devices.
Extracted map data is sent to a central database where the map is post-processed by fusing
multiple observations and identifying non-trivial relationships between map items. Data
collected by existing fleet vehicles ensures that, over time, the map becomes complete and
the system continues to keep it up-to-date.
• The AutoMap team received the CeBIT.AU Business Award in the category Early
Innovators Award in 2010
• The AutoMap team received the Innovation Award from the Australia Computer
Society in Canberra late 2009

What’s next?
Collecting road scene video data of a quality suitable for map making is a bottleneck for
many mapping companies due to the very high cost of a surveying vehicle (more than
$300,000 per vehicle). To enable these companies to collect data at a much lower cost, and
181
increase the data volumes we can analyse, we developed a low-cost capture system using
off-the-shelf equipment costing less than $10,000. The system is currently installed with an
Australian mapping company and we expect there to be 8 to10 more installed during 2011.
This represents the next phase in the AutoMap project where we are going from dedicated
surveying vehicles to exploring the possibilities of gathering road scene information from
fleet vehicles such as taxis, garbage trucks, and delivery vans.
From a research perspective, this is an interesting problem that draws on distributed
sensing, communication strategies and information fusion methods in order to optimise the
extracted value (road scene information) given constraints such as the computational
resources in the vehicles, communication bandwidth and cost, and the driving patterns of
the fleet vehicles.
From a business perspective, we aim to create a large enough volume of income to motivate
the creation of a stand-alone business entity. We believe that our extensive efforts,
particularly in Australia, the US and the UK will be able to trigger this activity.
The research results we have in the area of road scene object detection is unparalleled in
terms of detection speed, false positive rates (< 10e-10 – 10e-11) and false negative rates
(< 0.01). The second best result we are aware of is at least an order of magnitude worse,
and less general. We have the world’s largest datasets available for validating our ambitious
claims in these areas.
Automated Data Analysis (ADA)
Topic: Financial services companies, telecommunications operators and the government
sector face increasing volumes of data that can be almost incomprehensible. NICTA is
developing technology that will automatically analyse, interpret and summarise large
collections of complex data.

Who will it help?
Decision makers in many professions require timely, high-quality and relevant information.
Document analysis technologies developed in this project support information access by
structuring available content and representing it in an understandable form.
Knowledge workers in more focussed domains can make more efficient use of the
resources provided in their proprietary systems and the internet if they can more carefully
filter and collect relevant content and collectively organise and understand what is available
to them. They will benefit from the technology for accessing and organising structured text
content.
The ADA project participates and supports a related NICTA research project – The Smart
Mobile Content Distribution project by applying Machine Learning to model the importance
of content and the user behaviour in an online social network.
Students studying data analysis methods, practitioners trying to apply these methods to
their data, and anyone else interested in the technologies we have developed can download
the algorithms as the toolbox Elefant (Efficient Learning, Large-scale Inference, and
Optimisation Toolkit). Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X versions are available.
This group researches and develops fundamental, new data analysis algorithms underlying
the challenging applications of the 21st century in areas such as the internet, government
and e-health. This is achieved by combining modelling and statistical analysis and
theoretical results about the correctness and structure together with the efficient use of
available computing resources. Research in evolving technologies such as multi-core
processors and distributed systems leads to much faster processing times and results in
faster and more precise responses from the data analysis tools.
What’s next?
The ADA Project aims to develop an integrated software platform for large-scale machine
learning with applications in documents and vision. We are developing a Document Explorer
that lets one visualise and analyse the information in a focussed document collection.
183
We are working with other NICTA groups (for instance eGovernment) and with external
partners to develop our Document Explorer technologies in specific use cases. Using the
resulting knowledge, we will develop theory and applications to support automated
document analysis.
As a Partner Investigator in the Australian Research Council-funded Discovery Project
between The Australian National University and Yahoo Research - “Parallel and Distributed
Machine Learning – Smart Data Analysis in the Multicore Era” - the group will expand
research and development to large-scale parallel architecture.

Our group is a world leader in a combination of areas in machine learning for document and
image analysis, graphical models and social network analysis, matching of structured
objects, analysis of diversity and topics in a result set, and structured document analysis.
We complement this with strong connections within NICTA and the broader Australian
university community to provide a broad capability within our field. To keep current, we
actively participate as organisers, editors, reviewers and attendees in the key research
events and publications, such as JMLR, IEEE TPAMI, ICDM, NIPS, ICML, ECML-PKDD as well
as in top journals and conferences in areas of application to machine learning, such as
computer vision, document analysis and information retrieval (ICCV, CVPR, IJCV, SIGIR).
Automated Microscopic Cell Tracking (MIDAS)
Topic: The cost and time associated with drug discovery and clinical screening can slow the
speed of medical research. NICTA is developing technology to automate the extraction of
information about cell growth and division from video sequences of live cells. This is
reducing the cost of doing biological experiments as well as the time taken to do them.

Who will it help?
The project accelerates the research carried out by our partner, the Immunology Division of
the Walter Eliza Hall Institute. Our work enables us to address much broader problems
relevant in the medical research community, with a focus on cell biology. The project is also
relevant to the pharmaceutical industry, which engages in high throughput screening, and
also to microscope vendors who wish to package advanced software tools with their
equipment.
Novel methods for detecting and tracking cells and related birth, death and proliferation
events are being developed under this program. The key objective is to achieve accuracy
with robustness to varying data types under different experimental conditions.
The fusion of information from multiple microscopic channels such as fluorescence and
bright field is used to improve accuracy. Intelligent algorithms are being developed to
automatically inform the end users to intervene and correct the errors committed by
automated analysis of microscopic data.
We also propose to use advanced multiple object tracking algorithms that can handle
complex issues such as dynamically tracking details of cell birth, death and loss with a focus
on automated cell lineage extraction.
What’s next?
The next stage is to develop a C/C++ based microscopic image processing and cell tracking
platform and deploy technology at partner site for evaluation. Looking to the future we plan
to offer the cell tracking solution as part of a cloud computing platform and offer cloud
based services where biologists can upload cellular imaging data and we extract biologically
relevant information and present the condensed relevant data to the Biologists.
Significant achievements 2010
• Development of robust automatic track management methods of cell tracking.
• Development of automatic cell birth and death event detection in bright field image
• Greatly simplified tracking problem, opening opportunities to develop tailored
analysis solutions with partners

The research we are undertaking is making fundamental changes to the way biologists use
video imaging data. It has posed serious questions in the field of object tracking where data
association of tracks to objects as maintaining ID of cells that look alike and generating their
lineage information is extremely difficult. The challenges are fundamental and the research
holds significant promise to transform medical research in cellular biology.
Biomedical Text Processing (BioTALA)
Topic: Large amounts of text-based information are generated every day by biomedical
researchers and clinical practitioners around the world, resulting in information bottlenecks
that make it time-consuming and expensive to access valuable medical data. NICTA is
developing techniques to provide easier and faster access to the information buried in
biomedical texts, which will help biomedical researchers better understand the mountains
of data they are confronted with each day and help deliver better health outcomes.
Project Start Date: April 2008

• Global Evidence Mapping Initiative (GEM) / Alfred Health
• Human Variome Project (HVP)
• PatientSoft
Who will it help?
Those who will benefit include geneticists and diagnostic laboratories as well as biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies. Applications to benefit clinical practitioners
are also being developed. These applications will help mine the medical literature for
medical evidence that informs practice.
We are tackling the challenge of building efficient information retrieval and language
technologies for use in the biomedical space. Our approach ensures the search and
information extraction techniques and tools developed can cope with technical jargon and
concepts that are unique to the domain.
We are working with our partners Global Evidence Mapping Initiative (GEM) and Human
Variome Project (HVP) to understand the unique requirements of the biomedical sector.
GEM is a collaborative program based at Alfred Health which aims to improve the
accessibility and usefulness of research evidence in health care. HVP is an Australian-led
global initiative that aims to collect information on every fault in every gene worldwide.
What’s next?
We plan to deploy tools first to our project partners for evaluation and feedback, then to
wider communities of users. While impact will generally require application to specific use
cases, we will also develop platform toolkits that can be used to quickly build solutions.
In 2011, we plan to deploy tools to support discovery-based medical search to a portal for
developing evidence-based medical reviews. The development of this portal is funded by a
cIIF (Collaborative Internet Innovation Fund) grant from the Victorian Government. The grant
is led by Alfred Health and includes NICTA as a partner. Within the scope of the grant, we will
deploy tools for use of an initial group, or ‘alpha’ community of users.
We will also develop information extraction tools to support mining of information on genetic
mutations relevant to human disease. Pilot tools will be targeted at colorectal cancer. These
tools are being scoped in conjunction with the Human Variome Project.
We are working on a platform to support the creation of clinical reviews at GEM/Alfred
Health, funded by a grant from the Victorian government’s Collaborative Internet Innovation
Fund. Following delivery and deployment of this prototype, GEM will evaluate the prototype
and provide feedback, particularly on the IR performance and automated query processing
techniques.
We will also extend our work on the language-processing techniques to automatically extract
information from documents, applying this to both clinical and medical tasks. We have
jointly proposed a project with Alfred to develop techniques for bio-surveillance, to
automatically detect possible infection outbreaks in a hospital.
187
We are working with our medical partners and with other research teams in NICTA (mainly at
Canberra Research Lab), to develop a longer-term project in text mining for e-Health, within
NICTA’s broader e-Health initiative.

Bionic Eye
Topic: The Bionic Eye project is using NICTA’s expertise in low-power wireless transmission
techniques, refined in the groundbreaking Ultra-high-speed Wireless Networks (GiFi) project.
These techniques will underpin the future effectiveness of the chip being developed for
BVA’s retinal prosthesis.

• Bionic Ear Institute
• Visual Processing for the Bionic Eye Project, NICTA
Who will it help?
Many people suffer from eye diseases such as age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
which affects 150,000 Australians and blinds 25,000, costing Australia $2.6 billion per
year. There is no existing commercially available visual prosthesis for clinical use to help
these people. A successfully implemented retinal prosthesis will allow patients to see again,
to some degree. It is expected this will vastly improve their quality of life by giving them the
ability to recognise faces and expressions, read large print and move about easily.
As part of Bionic Vision Australia (BVA), NICTA aims to build a high-acuity retinal prosthesis
for restoring human vision lost to diseases which destroy photoreceptor cells in the retina
but leave the subsequent neurons, (such as retinal ganglion cells)-, relatively intact and
functional.
The aim of this project is to develop a high-acuity retinal prosthesis device to improve the
quality of life of a patient. Compared to existing devices, the BVA device will have the
following features:
•
•
A high-resolution electrode array with more than 1000 electrodes, compared to the
less than 100 electrodes in existing, reliably operating systems. If successful, this
increase represents a major improvement since it would be the first device that
could permit face recognition, the ability to read large text and allow easier physical
navigation. Another innovation is that the electrode array will penetrate the retina,
thus achieving close proximity to the subsurface target neurons. This will increase
resolution and decrease stimulation thresholds.
Wireless power transmission and data telemetry to avoid the need for a wire
breaching the eye wall. This will greatly reduce the chance of infection and undue
strain on the eye wall.
BVA aims to complete preclinical trials of the high-acuity prosthesis in a chronic animal
model by the end of 2013. This will involve an evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the
189
device. Progress into clinical trials in 2014 will be contingent on the success of these
preclinical trials.
To achieve this, the High-acuity Neurostimulator Device Development program aims to
deliver a fully integrated device by the end of 2012. The integrated device will comprise a
high-density microelectrode array, implantable electronics, wireless power and data transfer
system, and external unit. The internal unit will be surgically implantable and be
encapsulated in a hermetic, biocompatible material.

What’s next?
The path to impact is the successful completion of clinical trials, beginning in 2014, and
eventual commercialisation. The next stage of the project is to complete development of
device components through an iterative process of prototyping and pilot studies. Pre-clinical
trials will commence once the integrated device is ready.
Our device has a higher number of electrodes than other devices. With 1000 electrodes a
recipient will be able to read text. Wires protruding out of the body/eye act as a conduit for
infection. Our system is incorporated on a single chip and both data and power are provided
to the device wirelessly.
Business Adaptation and Interoperation (BAI)
Topic: Computer-supported business processes are vital both within and between large
organisations, but getting different systems to connect and exchange information in a
changing world can be a complex task. This complexity is further exacerbated by the
emerging cloud computing model, where traditional enterprise workloads may need to be
‘bursted’ into the cloud for reasons of cost and business agility.
This project aims to create improved understanding and technologies for organisations to
work together effectively using integrated, scalable and adaptable software.

Who will it help?
Increasingly, enterprises are under pressure to reduce cost and complexity, particularly
through shared services initiatives and data centre consolidations. Organisations need to be
informed about the opportunities and risks associated with emerging technologies and
techniques. They also need to be able to make the most of them in various enterprise
software and services initiatives to reduce cost and complexity.
The team is examining the business processes, software and services systems used inside
large financial institutions, government agencies and networks of organisations within
industry. We expect fundamental research and technology outcomes to be transferable for
use in other industries such as health and e-science.
Previous NICTA projects have established technologies and relationships which have
provided us with a unique position in the market, and market assessment is validating and
informing the project’s direction. The adaptation engine and systems performance
modelling and simulation (ePASA) technologies are two examples of technologies either
under patent application or industrial trials with organisations that have recognised their
need for the technology.
We are also embarking on rigorous cloud platform assessments together with various
enterprises, producing architecture evaluation techniques and cloud platform insights to
help organisations understand the cost/benefit relationship for next-generation services
delivered using cloud computing.
We are also part of an international collaboration effort addressing the R&D question of how
to effectively engineer a community cloud model such as a Government cloud.

Cognitive and Organisational Systems Engineering (COSE)
Topic: Many ICT implementations in safety systems fail because the complex needs of users
are not understood, or are not properly taken into account. To prevent such failures, this
project is developing techniques and tools for modelling users’ needs in the areas of
healthcare and air traffic control. This will allow us to better understand needs well in
advance and address them early in system development and procurement cycles.

Business Area: Safety and Security
• Airservices Australia
• Queensland Health
Who will it help?
Users will be health care professionals and air traffic controllers who, together with business
analysts, must identify future requirements and evaluate technology options, taking into
account the fit between the possibilities that new technology offers and effective work
practices.
193
Ultimately, customers will also include project managers, procurement officers, and chief
information officers who need an auditable, transparent process for taking human-system
integration requirements into account during system requirements analysis, specification,
design, procurement, and evaluation.
Unique to our approach is a deep understanding of how to model human activity at different
levels – cognitive, social, and organisational. Our goal is to construct an integrated
framework of predictive models and supporting tools that will guide analysts to the most
effective level of analysis when confronted with a major new ICT acquisition or development
project.
COSE is made up of three sub-projects:
• Prospective ICT Evaluation (PICTE): developing techniques for modelling work activity
at social and organisational levels in a way that reveals the impact of new ICT on
work effectiveness in healthcare contexts
• Human Performance Modelling (HPM): modelling work at the cognitive level to
predict the workload air traffic controllers will encounter with new ICT tools
• Communications Lexical Visualisation (COMLEX): developing a software tool that
integrates different forms of machine analysis of verbal and non-verbal
communication that will help healthcare educators evaluate the communication
skills of healthcare workers.
What’s next?
The PICTE sub-project will move strongly into predictive modelling, based on a collaboration
with Queensland Health. As our modelling approach matures, we will target healthcare ICT
consulting companies which provide consulting services to CIOs or enterprise healthcare IT
vendors during acquisition/implementation of healthcare ICT.
For HPM, further model development and evaluation is next. Air navigation service providers
are the most likely primary customer because they bear the cost of HSI risks during system
acquisition. The best channel to market will be suppliers of Air Traffic Control systems or
R&D laboratories. The project will aim for market validation grants.
COMLEX finishes its technical development this year. The resulting communications analysis
software is undergoing market size analysis for potential direct use by psychologists in the
field of conversation analysis, and may also be trialled by Queensland Health.
COMLEX:
• Developed and demonstrated software that automatically analyses and visualises
oral communications, integrating many different kinds of analysis algorithms.
HPM:
• Completed field trials of the impact of an advanced decision support system on the
workload and performance of air traffic controllers at Airservices Australia, and two
major reports have been written
• Built an initial model of human-system interaction in air traffic control using Behavior
Trees, which validates the model by checking that all scenarios are covered. Work
194
•
has started with a new decision support tool using a second model representing how
controller behaviour changes as workload changes.
We continue to develop and strengthen our MatLab simulation of how expert air
traffic controllers make decisions involving trade-offs among competing priorities.
PICTE:
• Completed a simple proof of principle of an AI planning approach to prospective ICT
evaluation which we will apply to a Queensland Health application.
• Developed the ValuesViewer™ software, the initial part of a suite of tools that
supports analysts identifying the benefits and ‘disbenefits’ to end-users of proposed
ICT.
• Developed the UserMetrix™ tool which enhances developers’ early awareness of user
interface issues and released it in pilot form.

The ECHOMOD and PICTE projects combine a perennial and well-recognised hard problem in
human-system integration -- prospective evaluation of human-system integration -- with
machine intelligence in different forms. COMLEX integrates different forms of machine
intelligence in interpreting verbal and non-verbal communication. Finally, all three projects
are deeply engaged with communities of use, whose needs provide strong tests of our
approaches, and whose effectiveness could be dramatically benefited by our outputs.

Constraint Programming Platform (CPP)
Topic: Large organisations have multiple resources that require complex management
systems to ensure both time and cost efficiency. This project is developing G12, a software
platform for solving large-scale industrial combinatorial optimisation problems such as
maintenance scheduling for a large operational plant. This technology will help
organisations such as freight, logistics and transportation companies and local, state and
national governments to better utilise their assets, resources and infrastructure.

• Constraints Technology International
• Zuse Institute, Berlin
Who will it help?
This research will enable Australian industry and government to exploit resources more
efficiently by allowing better management of complex private and public utilities such as
transportation, communication, power and water. It will help organisations optimise and
justify their strategic decision making and investment.
We aim to separate problem specification from problem solving. The project introduces a
novel mechanism for mapping problem specifications to correct efficient algorithms.
Program development is accelerated as we map low-level computation back to the problem
model, enabling the programmer to analyse and improve algorithm behaviour. The main
challenge of the project is to build the G12 optimisation platform.
• Defined an automatic way to avoid searching the same sub-problems in a constraint
programming problem by caching constraints, which can lead to order of magnitude
speedups
• Developed new ways to solve problems involving set constraints that are orders of
magnitude faster than previous approaches

What’s next?
The project was officially completed in April 2010 and we plan on follow-up projects to G12.
NICTA’s Victoria Research Lab, where this project is based, also has a pilot project with
Victoria Department of Transportation/VicRoads. We have split into lab-based projects with
applications focused on infrastructure planning and utilisation and also form support for
other NICTA projects such as FarmNet.
Research undertaken in the CPP project has already had significant international impact.
MiniZinc, the reduced version of our modelling language Zinc, is a de facto standard for
modelling for constraint programming and supported by almost all the major noncommercial solvers and one commercial solver. The Association of Constraint Programming
proposal for a standard for communicating problem instances is based on our work in
FlatZinc, the backend language for MiniZinc.
The development of the new hybrid solving approach “lazy clause generation” has given
orders of magnitude improvements for solving resource constrained scheduling problems,
and a number of other important combinatorial problems. The importance of this work has
been recognised through the 2010 Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science.
The long-term aims of the work, to allow the modelling of optimisation problems
independent of the solving approach, and then apply any optimisation technology, will play
197
an important role in unifying the different research communities tackling combinatorial
optimisation.
Cooperative Multi-Agent Formations and Networks (SWARM)
Topic: Sophisticated technology is required to control autonomous unmanned vehicles
(UAVs) when they are travelling in formation. To maximise control of the vehicles, the
autonomous systems that run them must be dependable, even when a communication link
fails or a particular vehicle is lost or destroyed. NICTA is developing scientific methods to
radically improve these systems.

Who will it help?
The primary research goal is being completed in accordance with the interests of Australia’s
Defence, Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). The scientific tools being developed
also have potential uses in applications for coast guarding, bushfire fighting, civilian
surveillance tasks, agriculture and harvesting.
The requirements of autonomy and formation (especially that agents must in some way
interact with one another) have generated a need to study information and control
architectures that can underpin the ability to achieve the desired tasks, or missions. Similar
needs arise in stationary sensor networks that detect moving agents.
This project is developing health/quality characterisation, diagnosis and assurance
techniques for autonomous multi-agent formations and sensor networks. A specific focus is
co-operative passive localisation of emitters by UAV formations.

What’s next?
We are developing systematic approaches to problems identified with DSTO in the areas of
positioning, formation control of autonomous vehicles and information fusion and
establishing methods and algorithms that would apply to a general class of engineering
problems including the specified DSTO problem. We will investigate non-defence
commercialisation opportunities for the signal de-interleaving technology developed with
DSTO. This technology is currently being patented.
Other activities on the near horizon:
• Expand collaboration with CEA Technologies (initially on the topic of Doppler radar
systems) and the US Air Force
• Investigate commercial opportunities and engagements for our sensor network and
vehicular networking technologies
• In collaboration with DSTO, investigate the problem of evolving a probability density
map for target tracking. Joint publications with DSTO scientists are being produced
that describe the evolution of possible target locations and the probabilities that the
targets are at these locations
• New connections with world leading scientists in information fusion at DSTO and the
University of Melbourne are planned. Work on fusion of generalised, non-standard,
measurements such as natural language is underway with new DSTO colleagues.
The science developed in this project is world leading as evidenced by the high-quality
articles appearing in the highest rated journals in the relevant fields. Project Leader, Prof.
Brian Anderson, is regularly invited to give plenary speeches at leading control and systems
theory conferences.
199
The problems considered in the project typically share the underlying property of existing in
a networked environment. The project team has generated a significant research record in
the relevant fields with 2009 seeing the 100th publication directly related to the project. A
best paper prize for the period 2006-2008 was awarded by the Asian Journal of Control and
the work of the team has generated a significant number of citations in the past couple of
years alone.
Our work in large-scale, multi-hop networks is fruitful. A number of results have been
obtained on the connectivity of large-scale multi-hop networks under a generic channel
model satisfying mild conditions only. These results extend the seminal work by Gupta and
Kumar (The Capacity of Wireless Networks in IEEE Trans. on Information Theory) where a
simplistic unit disk model is employed and represent a significant breakthrough in the area.
The results are useful for the design and implementation of sensor networks, unmanned
autonomous vehicle (UAV) formations, and vehicular networks.
Our information fusion work is based on novel applications of probability theory such as
Girsanov’s theorem and random-set-theory and is aimed at robust estimation problems,
estimation and security in networked environments and fusion of non-classical
measurements such as natural language and human-mediated data.
Decision Support for Incident Management (DSIM)
Topic: Emergency response procedures, call centre productivity and other environments
that require decision making under stressful conditions can all be improved if we
understand precisely how people process information. DSIM is researching and developing
core technologies to measure mental effort, or ‘cognitive load’ automatically. This
knowledge will enable design of a new generation of human-computer user interfaces to
support critical decision making in high-performance, time-critical environments.

Who will it help?
In the first instance, people responsible for incident management will be helped. By
measuring cognitive load in real time, we can enhance the quality of decision support and
enable online adaptation of systems and processes to improve efficiency and reduce
procedural load on these personnel.
A decision support system (DSS) for incident management being developed with the NSW
Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) will focus on road traffic incident management to make a
noticeable contribution to congestion reduction. Applications for this technology range from
road and air traffic control to elite sports and military systems. Cognitive load measurement
promises an optimal use of the mental capabilities for a given individual, at a given time.
The research in this project is grounded in psychology and educational theories, and aims to
optimise the human-machine interaction so that the mental effort required from the user is
never too high (source of failure) nor too low (not economically viable).
The uniqueness of the research rests on the joint optimisation of human-machine
interaction using the human as an integrated component of the DSS system. The content
and user interface is adapted to cognitive load. The team has expertise in human cognitive
load modelling, multimodal input processing, speech processing and graphical modelling.

What’s next?
We are collaborating with the RTA to research and validate road traffic management
technology, and are also carrying out field trials of the technology in other application areas
such as leading call centres.
We will also research a set of novel speech features related to vocal fold vibration and vocal
tract resonance, and modelling for cognitive load measurement (CLM). Research in
combining information from multiple modalities (i.e. data fusion), will work on a probabilistic
framework to integrate multiple sub-systems to further improve accuracy. Other input
modalities for multimodal CLM, including electronic-pen input trajectory and
psychophysiological signals such as pupil size and electrical conductivity of skin will be
investigated.
DSIM’s achievements have been underpinned by the continuing research and development
of the world-first real-time speech based cognitive load classification system. Our research
leadership in automatic, real-time cognitive load measurement has resulted in 25 highquality publications this year and more than 150 publications in past five years. Further
establishing our intellectual property on the world stage, a total of 6 patent applications
have been filed on the back of the research outcomes.
The project work has resulted in a three-year agreement with the NSW RTA Transport
Management Centre. We also have an agreement with the United States Air Force Office of
Scientific Research (AFOSR) for a series of projects on multimodal cognitive load
measurement. The DSIM project has also encompassed the conception and development of
the BrainGauge®, a web-based recruitment assessment system using NICTA-developed
cognitive ability tests. BrainGauge® has attracted its first customer and established a
significant sales pipeline.
Human Performance Improvement (HPI)
Topic: When elite athletes tire, their competitive edge may be lost. More seriously, when
emergency services and Defence personnel are fatigued, the results may be fatal. It is
important that we can accurately monitor human performance, to make sure our military
personnel and emergency service workers are safe and that our top athletes are always
202
performing at their peak. At NICTA we are developing next-generation networks that can do
this by transmitting data around the human body and interpreting it.

Who will it help?
Wearable and implantable devices will allow new opportunities to monitor and analyse
biometric status in a range of activities and environments. NICTA is collaborating with the
Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) to develop systems that help swimming coaches get
accurate data about swimmers’ performances and develop appropriate training strategies.
We have developed patentable technology that can quantify and log the activity of elite
swimmers.
Key algorithms understand what an athlete is doing, based upon wearable technology. Our
research is developing the algorithms into an efficient form which can analyse hours of
training in minutes of processing. We are embedding the algorithms into a software
demonstrator, which will be used by AIS coaching staff.
To communicate using wireless technology around the human body, we need to know how
the human body impacts on the wireless signal. NICTA has systematically measured the
effect of movement on the wireless signal. Movement is the key detail that is unique to the
wireless research. Having a machine-learning team in co-operation with the wireless team to
develop new applications for the network sets us apart internationally. Many international
groups have either a strong machine-learning focus or a strong wireless focus, but not both.
Existing devices transmit a limited amount of information, far less than the volume that will
be required in the future. Understanding algorithms exist, but at a basic and individual level.
The HPI team will create a disruptive IP, which causes substantial changes in the existing
status quo and/or new markets
What’s next?
203
We will license the wearable activity recognition algorithms to multinational partners. We are
forming international linkages through our standards activity for the wireless component
and forming a research partnership for further developing the team sports algorithms. We
aim to validate research against world leaders and standards members and plan to expand
existing technologies into the consumer sporting domain.

This research is world class for a number of reasons, centred around the different
applications:
• Wireless:
Understanding of the radio channel is unique to NICTA – we have demonstrated and
published substantial results around the dynamic characteristics of the radio
channel (time-varying behaviour, relays). Further, this work contains open-source
simulators, which are referenced by groups such as the IEEE 802.15.6 (international
standard) and form reference data and examples for collaborators. The wireless
component of HPI was evaluated very positively by the Embedded Systems review
panel.

Distributed spatial analysis:
We have a unique approach to building fast and efficient query techniques which can
be applied to distributed pattern recognition. We have evaluated our work in sports
(football) and also commercial settings. The progress on this component of the HPI
project was positively reviewed as part of the NICTA project review process.
Swimming:
We have partnered with the world leader in swimming analysis (Australian Institute of
Sport) and are in the process of partnering with a leading swim brand.
Implant Systems
Topic: It is estimated that one in five Australians will suffer a period of chronic pain during
their lifetime and many others will suffer from neurological disorders like Parkinson’s
disease and epilepsy. NICTA is developing tiny, inexpensive implantable devices that will
help these people.
Project End Date: July 2013
Resources: 8.9 FTE
Project Leader: John Parker (John.Parker@nicta.com.au)
• CSIRO
• CSEM
• Royal North Shore Hospital
• KIT
Who will it help?
People with chronic pain or neurological disorders will benefit from this research. Existing
implant device architectures are limited in that they cannot emulate the complex biological
behaviours of the human body. They are also hindered by their poor ability to withstand the
harsh environment of the human body, leading to high rates of component failure.
The architecture of today’s products require a bundle of wires to form an electrode array.
The number of wires in the bundle is restricted by size and stiffness and this ultimately
limits the number of electrodes and hence the effectiveness of the treatment.
We plan to eliminate this bottleneck entirely, creating the technology to build much more
complex and effective devices.
205
This project is developing new micro technologies for fabrication of the tissue interface and
chip scale implantable packages and systems to allow the distribution of the architecture of
electronics. This technology is applicable to all types of existing active implantable products
as well as enabling entirely new classes of products.
The neuro-modulation industry is experiencing a period of rapid growth fuelled by the
discovery of new therapies and mechanisms of action for a wide variety of diseases. This is
despite the fact that the technology has changed little over the past 25 years. All currently
conceived active implanted products have similar architectures and substantial complexity
and cost associated with the wiring and packaging technologies.
The NICTA Implant Systems team is developing a series of technologies that will be fast and
cheap to manufacture and implement. These technologies include:
• New hardware and software device architectures capable of simultaneously
monitoring and stimulating multiple sites around the body
• New microelectronic packaging technologies that will vastly reduce the size and cost
of manufacture
• New micro-technology methods for tissue interface which increase performance and
enable new structures and allow implants to be reliably placed in positions in the
body hither to inaccessible by conventional technologies.
To the extent possible in the research project these technologies will be tested both on the
bench and in animal and human trials.
What’s next?
The core technologies have been demonstrated at the level of proof-of-principle. The team
has selected spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of chronic intractable pain as a target
application for the technologies. We have defined a number of product concepts and have
begun basic experiments in animals recording evoked response. We aim to develop a spinout business to commercially exploit the product concepts.
The team has already demonstrated all the fundamental elements and proven feasibility on
the bench for a distributed architecture implantable device. Other “proof-of–concept”
achievements include a micro-textile electrode and some approaches to low-temperature
hermetic sealing required for the micro-packages. A great deal of work is required to convert
these early results into practical deployable products.
The next stage of the project is focused on animal and human trials to assess the
performance of the proposed technologies in real environments. The specific focus of the
next stage will be to trial and assess the stimulation and Evoked response telemetry (ERT).

What makes this research world class?
During 2010, NICTA research revealed new insights into the neurophysiology of the spinal
cord and mechanisms of pain inhibition by spinal cord stimulation. We are conducting
research which has generated considerable interest and support from a number of world
class research institutes renowned for their work in pain management.
Topic: To manage their operations efficiently, road freight operators need to adapt their
schedules to cope with fluctuating demand, constantly changing destinations and varied
operational and safety constraints. In a highly competitive industry with low profit margins, it
is challenging but important to find new ways to increase efficiency and so improve the
bottom line. To help achieve this, NICTA is developing technology to help optimise mobile
assets.

Who will it help?
The users of our technology will be transportation companies that operate fleets of between
10 and 3,000 vehicles with a varying operational plan. Our studies have shown that these
companies could achieve a 10 to 30 per cent saving through more efficient asset and
resource utilisation. Automated planning of vehicle routes and crews to reduce distance,
time, fuel costs and CO2 emissions are key aims of the Intelligent Fleet Logistics project.
Intelligent Fleet Logistics is a new project that has its roots in earlier Intelligent Transport
research undertaken at NICTA’s Neville Roach Laboratory and Canberra Research
Laboratory.
To save money, scheduling tools must accurately model the company’s operation and
automatically produce efficient route planning. Our initial software product is a
Transportation Management System (TMS) designed to be integrated with a company’s
existing client database and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. It can be
configured to meet their exact requirements.
The key competitive advantages of our software are:
• The rapid configuration and modelling of the system to match the client’s business
operation
• The use of state-of-the-art optimisation and route planning algorithms to derive more
efficient schedules more quickly than existing systems
• Online delivery (Software as a Service) makes the technology readily available to any
size of company.
The analyses performed have included:
• Dynamic Route Planning: dynamic real-time operation of routes for transportation
and service engineers
• Static Route Planning: develop a set of static routes to operate repeatedly
• Fleet Configuration: determine appropriate vehicle fleet automatically
• Routing and Crew Scheduling: determine efficient schedules for routes and crews
incorporating their skills, availability etc
• Transportation Network Optimisation: schedule the transportation network
determining cross-dock or delivery timings through modelling operations at the
transportation level.
What’s next?
We are preparing tailored online planning and scheduling software derived from our webbased Transportation Management System for Fleet Logistics. Our roadmap of software
208
development includes extending fleet logistics into related supply chain transportation
facilities such as production plants, warehouses, distribution centres and cross-docks.
The team will continue to develop the Transportation Management System. This will become
our first commercial product offering and we are looking for customers and financial
partners to scale it as a stand-alone business. Follow-on research will extend the TMS
functionality to cover more of supply chain preparations. This will derive automated
solutions for strategic, tactical and operational network planning of transportation
infrastructure in a flexible way.

Intelligent Fleet Logistics has developed new algorithms for vehicle fleet asset utilisation
that exceed current world best results solutions for 50 out of 350 large pick-up-and-deliver
benchmarks, requiring considerably less calculation time. We do this with the flexibility to
add unusual constraints on the calculation as well, as found in real-world transportation
operations. This will enable for the first time the modelling of real-world transportation
209
scenarios and the efficient optimisation through using computation to assist in planning and
scheduling.
Mesh Protocols
Topic: Disaster recovery efforts, emergency response scenarios and counter terrorism
situations call for a resilient communications infrastructure that can withstand a range of
demands and environmental conditions. While existing systems have limitations, wireless
mesh networks can be rapidly deployed in emergencies to provide communications services
for incident response teams. This project is developing a new generation of network
protocols, both algorithms and software, which can improve the performance and reliability
of wireless mesh network technology.

Who will it help?
The new technology can provide first-response teams and public safety agencies with more
flexible, reliable and higher-capacity communications services in challenging scenarios. The
project is also exploring the application of the technology in a wider context, for example in
mining and defence applications.
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are a very promising technology and are currently being
used in a wide range of application areas, including public safety, transportation, and
mining. Most of these applications require reliable real-time communication with highbandwidth requirements, for example video surveillance. The research undertaken in this
project will deliver increased performance and reliability of wireless mesh networks for
highly demanding application scenarios.
210
The project aims to develop new, adaptive network protocol mechanisms and protocols that
achieve high performance and reliability in unpredictable and dynamically changing
environments. It also aims to explore new formal methods-based techniques to provide
higher levels of assurance about correctness and performance of adaptive mesh network
protocols.
Wireless mesh networks can be deployed in a wide range of scenarios, which can differ
significantly in terms of network size, topology, mobility, and traffic. Current wireless mesh
systems use a largely one-size-fits-all approach for network protocols and algorithms. That
is, the same protocol is used irrespective of the deployment scenario, resulting in reduced
performance and reliability.
The focus of the project is on routing protocols, but other issues such as rate adaptation and
channel allocation are also considered. In order to ensure the correctness and reliability of
the new protocols, the project develops and applies new Formal Methods-based techniques
based on model checking, process calculi and other algebraic methods.
What’s next?
In 2011, we aim to have an adaptive wireless mesh protocol implemented and ready for
testing by our industry partner Firetide Inc, one of the global market leaders for Wireless
Mesh Networks. .
We plan to have our wireless mesh network prototype (hardware and software) completed
and evaluated in trials with the National Counter Terrorism Committee (NCTC).
A further goal is to have a new formal methods based model of new adaptive wireless mesh
routing protocols. The goal is to use this model to provide a high level of assurance about
the protocol correctness and performance.

Topic: Internet-connected cameras are everywhere, often employed as security devices for
car parks, railways, buildings and road intersections, but also routinely embedded into our
cellular phones and tablet computers. They can ‘see’ but they cannot ‘do’.
NICTA is developing software that will use computing power attached to the internet to add a
higher level of ‘intelligence’ to connected cameras enabling them to better ‘understand’ and
‘react’ to what they see.

Who will it help?
Ordinary consumers and large businesses will both be helped with the new applications this
technology will facilitate. We envisage a whole new class of image and video processing
applications for connected mobile devices and fixed cameras will emerge.
For instance, consumers could gain instant access to product reviews by pointing a phone
camera at products on supermarket shelves, turning photos of handwriting on whiteboards
into searchable text, or automatically searching the contents of their online photo
collections for items of interest. Businesses could protect and manage critical infrastructure
by, for example, directing people to available car spaces, monitoring intersections to aid in
control of traffic signalling and detecting obstructions on railways. Health applications
include remote diagnosis of visible symptoms such as skin lesions.
The result of our work will be a Platform as a Service (PaaS) software technology hosted on
cloud computing infrastructure. Our PaaS solution will enable algorithm designers to
describe their algorithm once and deploy it in a scalable manner to cloud infrastructure.
The PaaS will automatically generate and deploy a correct and efficient implementation of
the algorithm that meets the user’s specification based on the size of the data that needs to
be processed and the available computing resources.
Our research extends the work on algorithmic skeletons that was motivated by the need to
build special purpose programming platforms for high-performance computers. An
algorithmic skeleton is a programming pattern for describing algorithms specific to a
domain. It is embedded into a programming language.
We have been working to extend the research on the algorithmic skeleton programming
approach to deploy computer vision algorithms to modern cloud computing architectures.
Applying the algorithmic skeleton approach to massively parallel, non-standard and
heterogeneous target hardware platforms requires a number of research challenges to be
addressed:
•
•
•
Inventing a strictly-typed compiler for skeletons using the principles of formal
methods to ensure correct translation of the user program into machine instructions
Developing a set of models to facilitate the computation of the cost of different
possible implementations of the skeletons for the available cloud hardware
Developing algorithms for managing the flow of data and scheduling of skeleton
execution on cloud infrastructure, minimising the overhead of communication
between computational nodes.
What’s next?
We plan to deploy a proof-of-concept of our Scalable Vision Machines PaaS and one or more
selected NICTA computer vision algorithms to a first-tier cloud computer platform in the first
half of 2011. This will enable us to work with selected partners in the second half of 2011
to develop a range of video and image analytics features for fixed cameras and mobile
devices.
Our core technology provides support for deploying algorithms to single CPU-GPU machines.
The next step will be to develop the software infrastructure that will enable deployment in
the cloud as a reliable PaaS. Once deployed to cloud architectures, we plan to extend our
213
core technology to operate on multiple CPU-GPU node instances facilitating additional
scalability.
We have succeeded in automatically generating efficient GPU implementations for a number
of computer vision algorithms from high-level specifications. This is a significant
achievement as it validates our methodology. It enables an algorithm designer to deploy
algorithms on a high-performance platform without needing to apply detailed knowledge of a
GPU architecture or parallel programming algorithms.

At this early stage of the project no peer-reviewed material has yet been published.
We are working with the Programming Languages and Systems group at UNSW to develop a
practical type-preserving compiler. This is a new and active research area, with only a few
highly specialised implementations in practical use. Type information of our object language
is reflected into the type system of the host language and maintained all the way through to
target code generation, ensuring that all source-to-source transformations performed are
provably correct (within the fidelity of the host language type system).
We are one of a small number of groups that are building a staging compiler that is capable
of dynamically targeting scalable parallel heterogeneous hardware platforms. Our approach
is particularly novel, as the generated implementation is based on runtime knowledge of the
geometry of data to be processed and the specific configuration of the available multi-node
target CPU-GPU hardware architecture.
Service Delivery and Testbed Framework (TEMPO)
Topic: Delivering content and services across distributed systems, such as home gateways
or TV set-top boxes, has a high energy cost. The TEMPO project is investigating novel
distributed schemes that will minimise this cost and reduce the environmental footprint of
these systems.
The evaluation of these distributed schemes requires experiments that involve realistic
prototypes and environments. Such experiments are extremely challenging to reproduce in
the networking field. So a second objective of this project is to develop a framework (OMF)
to control and manage groups of networking experimental platforms or "testbeds".

Who will it help?
OMF allows the systematic description, instrumentation and execution of reproducible
experiments, thus increasing scientific rigour and data quality in the networking community.
Networking researchers will use OMF on different testbeds to evaluate their prototypes, and
analyse their results. Under defined agreements, companies could also evaluate their
prototype products and services on these testbeds. Designers and operators of service
delivery platforms, for example multimedia set-top-boxes or home gateways, will use our
energy-efficient content distribution schemes to lower their operational energy costs and
meet energy-related regulatory policies.
TEMPO has partnerships with key US and European Union (EU) initiatives for research into
next-generation internet and networking technologies. OMF is being developed in
collaboration with these international partners, and is already installed on many global
testbeds and used by many researchers worldwide. TEMPO is one of the early research
initiatives looking at the issue of energy consumption of large-scale distributed service
delivery platforms. Our energy-efficient schemes are based on a minimisation under
constraints algorithm and pro-active placement of content using recommendation
algorithms.

The next stage is to refine the initial energy-efficient service delivery scheme, based on the
results of the first small-scale evaluation (i.e. neighbourhood-wide). The improved schemes
will then be evaluated on a larger scale (i.e. campus-wide), and implemented in a prototype
demonstrator. The project also plans to release the additional versions 5.4 of OMF and 2.6
of OML (OMF’s measurement tools) early in 2011, which will have support for virtualisation.

Topic: Today’s Internet traffic is dominated by video and increasingly the users themselves
create those videos. Broadband wireless networks, video cameras in most mobile devices,
and the phenomenal success of services such as YouTube are creating an almost perfect
storm for service as well as network providers alike. With increasing capacity demands and
flat revenue for these services we believe that the industry is ready for radically different
solutions.
An analysis of the economics of providing services on today’s Internet shows that the
primary cost is in provisioning for peak demand while an analysis of demand at various
points of the system exhibits “bursty” behaviour. We therefore argue for solutions that
“reduce the peaks by filling the valleys”.
The project aims to develop novel content distribution schemes and architectures
specifically for mobile devices and networks where the cost of additional capacity is the
highest. However, this requires a deeper understanding of what drives demand for content
and we believe that recommendations within social networks are one of the major drivers.
We therefore propose to study online social networks to develop models for user behaviour,
community dynamics, and viral distribution to guide the design and evaluation of smart
mobile content distribution solutions.

Who will it help?
The developed content distribution system will enable mobile operators to reduce their
infrastructure spend, monetize any momentary spare capacity in their network, as well as
contribute to the behavioural prediction based on their customer insights and network
capabilities.
217
The main innovations will be novel mechanisms to predict the behaviour of mobile users.
Initially, we concentrate on predicting a user’s content consumption ahead of time and use
spare capacity in the network to pre-fetch content to the end-devices. Decoupling the time of
content consumption from the time content traverses the network will allow us to reduce
‘expensive’ peak traffic.
The content distribution service will be built on research innovations in social network
analysis and structural predictive modelling (SPM). We will develop models for content
generation and consumption through analysis of user behaviour in online social networks.
We will further develop and apply novel SPM techniques leveraging both the user’s
behavioural data and the underlying models to initially predict content consumption and
ultimately recommend content best suited to the current context to the user itself.
What’s next?
This project is still in the ramp-up phase, focusing on attracting the right talent to build a
world-class, cross-disciplinary team. We are engaging with leading companies across the
value chain to better understand our path to impact in the short-term as well as the longterm which in turn will influence our research prioritisation.
Our main focus in 2011 will be to collect data on user behaviour in mobile social networks
through small-scale field trials and systematically analyse the applicability of various
machine learning tools for these kind of domain.
We will be successful because we have the skill set on the research side in machine
learning, modelling and analysis of networks, as well as network systems and extensive
experience in turning research outcomes into deployable services on the engineering side.
We are also developing deeper engagements with industry partners on the operational side
to better understand the path to impact as well as obtaining more relevant data to further
our research activities.
Finally, the industry needs solutions to address the exponential increase of mobile data
traffic which to a large extent is fuelled by online social network applications.
Smart Transport and Roads (STaR)
Topic: Traffic congestion is one of the most pressing environmental and social issues facing
the world’s cities. At NICTA we are developing technology that allows control systems, traffic
managers and road users to better predict and respond to traffic conditions, increasing the
capacity of our roads’ infrastructure and making urban travel more predictable, efficient and
environmentally friendly.

Who will it help?
The Smart Transport and Roads project will benefit all road users and communities as they
become increasingly challenged by the economic, social, physical and environmental effects
of traffic congestion. This research will initially be deployed in the NSW Roads and Traffic
Authority’s (RTA) traffic management systems. It will then achieve worldwide impact through
the RTA’s Sydney Co-ordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) which is one of the world’s
pre-eminent traffic signal control systems and is deployed in more than 140 cities on five
continents.
Using a mathematical technique known as data fusion, the outputs from various low-cost
sensors embedded in roads and traffic lights are combined together to give a picture of
traffic on the road that is greater than any single sensor could give on its own. This ‘fused
data’ is used to detect, classify and measure traffic flows. Based on this information and
other traffic sensing inputs, we use advanced mathematical models to estimate the traffic
state, track changes second by second and forecast the effect of possible control decisions.
SCATS will use this additional information to add a finer level of control of traffic lights and
other road traffic infrastructure to improve traffic flows.
In a related project, Decision Support for Incident Management, we are working with the
RTA’s Traffic Management Centre (TMC) to develop new techniques to measure and
manage the cognitive load on individual TMC operators to enhance the effectiveness of
traffic incident management. Human cognitive characteristics are statistically modelled to
improve system design and optimise decision making capabilities by integrating
measurements of an individual’s cognitive load with real-time system dynamics.

Trusted Networking (SCENT)
Topic: In a functional, secure digital economy, citizens must have control over the privacy of
their personal data. This is particularly true for emerging mobile applications, which are
increasingly based on personalised, user-generated content. Our project focuses on
developing trust and privacy mechanisms for short-term (or opportunistic) mobile networks,
which can provide the capacity these applications demand. We are also developing new
protocols to enable simultaneous multi-network use, underpinned by context-based
optimisation.

Who will it help?
By addressing the deficiencies of the current mechanisms, our project outcomes will enable
new services in mobile systems. These may be based on social networking services, or any
content services related to business, sports or entertainment.
The increasing use of technologies like smartphones and the growing popularity of mobile
social networking applications has put immense pressure on scarce spectrum bandwidth.
One answer to the shortage is short-lived, direct mobile-to-mobile (opportunistic)
communication, which can complement and increase the limited capacity of traditional
infrastructure-based wireless networks such as 3G or Wi-Fi. This project is developing
technology to allow mobile devices to use multiple wireless network connections
simultaneously. It includes novel trust mechanisms and techniques to preserve privacy for
221
these opportunistic network connections, along with mechanisms to enable seamless
handover and simultaneous multi-network use.
Mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) content distribution is our primary use case. The privacy
mechanisms may also be applicable in wired internet applications.
• We eExhibited a collaborative video content distribution platform at the
NICTA@NSWParliament event to an audience of politicians, professionals from the
industry and investment sectors, attracting interest from an industry partner who is

• We developed a novel anonymous routing protocol, published at TrustCom 2010; a
trust-based mechanism for P2P systems; a novel shortest-path tree-based broadcast

NICTA and UNSW.

What’s next?
We are developing a trusted mobile Peer-to-Peer, real-time content distribution
demonstrator in parallel with progressing the research on trust and privacy. The
demonstrator will include the research results (ie. mechanisms previously verified by
analytical and simulation methods). These will also be used to obtain experimental data for
use in a publication planned for a top-tier conference. Our plan is to release this software as
open source during 2011, in order to establish our reputation and gain widespread
community support for NICTA’s opportunistic networking activities.
For applications and algorithms related to trust and privacy domains, our planned path to
impact is in top-tier publications and patenting of the technology. We note that, for these
domains, potential also exists outside of opportunistic or content related services within the
broader scope of the digital economy.
222
We have strong NICTA expertise in peer-to-peer (P2P) mechanisms, network mobility,
transport, context based mechanisms and complex optimisation problem solving. Our
proposed approach relies strongly on the understanding of networking technologies and use
of context information from applications or networks to achieve a holistic trust mechanism.
Extensive expertise in privacy is provided by a leading expert and former Privacy
Commissioner of Australia, Malcolm Crompton, giving us a unique opportunity to make
privacy an integral part of our research efforts. Our project collaborators are providing
complimentary expertise and will strengthen the potential for international research impact.
Through our collaboration in the EU FP7 SAIL project we are an integral part of a large scale
industry and research effort.
Trustworthy Embedded Systems (ERTOS 2)
Topic: Embedded computer systems are now part of everyday life, central to the operation
of aircraft, motor vehicles and mission-critical defence systems. In these scenarios, security,
safety and reliability are paramount yet hard to achieve. NICTA is changing the game for
embedded software design and implementation, aiming for unprecedented levels of
operational reliability – in short, true trustworthiness – at a cost that is well below that of
traditional, less powerful approaches to software dependability.

Who will it help?
The project will drastically improve the security of critical information systems in areas such
as defence and electronic commerce. It will also result in much more reliable and safer
operation of electronic systems in aeroplanes, medical devices and automobiles. This
technology will benefit every citizen, whether they deal with critical infrastructure or only with
everyday electronic devices.
The project will achieve strong dependability guarantees through mathematical proof
techniques. It builds on the outcomes of predecessor projects, especially the design,
implementation and formal verification of the seL4 kernel, as well as the design of the
lightweight component system CAmkES.
We will develop system architectures and verification techniques that will allow guarantees
to be made about large systems, comprising millions of lines of code. It will also incorporate
non-functional aspects, especially timeliness and energy management, which are critical to
real-world embedded systems.
• Secure Access Controller (SAC): In the nine months since it commenced, the project has
produced (and delivered to an external stakeholder) a first prototype of an seL4-based
trustworthy system, a secure access controller (SAC). This is a multi-level secure system
which multiplexes two incoming network connections of different classification levels
(e.g. secret and top secret) onto a single outgoing network connected to a secure
terminal. The system guarantees that no data can flow between the two incoming
networks. Specifically, the outcomes include:
the architecture, design and implementation of the SAC and its formalisation;
a feasibility study for the formal verification of the complete TCB (Trusted Computing
Base) of the SAC;
a port of seL4 to the x86 architecture (as the prototype is implemented on an off-theshelf PC platform)
support for an IOMMU (Input/Output memory management unit) in seL4 (to provide
secure high-performance I/O);
a formal proof of the relevant security properties of the SAC security model
•
Capability Distribution Language (capDL): A second outcome is the design and
implementation of the capability distribution language. This language allows us to
describe and formalise the distribution of capabilities, and thus enables formal
reasoning about access rights in seL4-based systems. This is a significant building block
in our overall trustworthy embedded systems framework.

What’s next?
The next stage of the Project is to produce a prototype architecture and implementation, as
well as a high-level formalisation of a high-assurance case study design. The team will
enhance the formal techniques used in the previous L4 microkernel verification, and
establish the feasibility of extending the verification to a multiprocessor kernel and
demonstrate temporal isolation between subsystems.
By providing the world's first formal proof of functional correctness of a complete, generalpurpose operating-system kernel, this research group had a world-wide impact reflected by
significant press coverage around the world when the proof completion was announced, and
further international press interest at the public release of the kernel binary and its formal
specification.
This impact generates interest from various international parties – industrials, governments
and academics – seeking collaboration with the group. Publications to the most prestigious
conferences, such as SOSP, and journals, such as CACM, also reflect the level of
international recognition of the underlying research. This truly trustworthy foundation places
the group in a unique position to build strongly dependable systems consisting of million
lines of code.
Visual Processing for the Bionic Eye (VIBE)
Topic: This project is conducting fundamental research in computer vision to create
assistive devices for the visually impaired. This will be realised as vision processing systems
for the retinal implant being developed by the Bionic Vision Australia (BVA) consortium, and
by developing handheld and wearable devices.

Who will it help?
Blindness is caused by the degradation or death of the cells in the eye that receive light
signals. Led by Nick Barnes, the VIBE research team is developing methods to process the
video streams coming from a wearable multi-camera system. The processing of the streams
will produce information that could be presented to a visually impaired person via a future
retinal implant, or via tactile or audio interfaces.
Although there are many useful devices on the market to assist these people, there is a lack
of the type of sensor-based systems that are now appearing in cars, in lane departure,
navigation and collision warning systems. This project is also addressing this gap in the
market. 6
The team is using its combined expertise in computer vision research, particularly in the
areas of visual motion recovery and object identification and detection. Members of the
team contribute to BVA. We are developing algorithms for the real-time understanding of
dynamic scenes as applied to the needs of people with low vision. These algorithms will be
the basis for devices for low vision and retinal implant computer vision.
Low vision devices are standalone devices that assist a user with particular issues of visual
impairment. Vision processing for the retinal implant is processing that forms the link
between a wearable camera rig and a retinal implant. It interprets data from multiple highresolution image streams and extracts key information - as a significantly lower resolution
image stream - that will form the basis of stimulation patterns on a retinal implant device.
VIBE consists of two separate but complementary projects. A NICTA-funded project
concentrates on hand-held or wearable low-vision devices and fundamental research in
computer vision to support this technology. Meanwhile, the Australian Research Council
(ARC) through BVA, is funding research to develop vision processing for the proposed BVA
retinal implant, or ‘bionic eye’.

What’s next?
By 2013, we plan to deliver a preliminary vision system to BVA that will be trialled with
implanted human patients. The project also plans for a continuing program of user
interactions for low vision devices. We also plan to conduct iterative human trials with
individuals with low vision, and normally sighted individuals with a simulated bionic eye
visualisation to develop and proof effective strategies and devices.
Our research bridges the gap between computer vision, biomedical engineering and
ophthalmology. We have had publications (above) in IEEE Trans Pattern Recognition and
Machine Intelligence, one of the leading journals in engineering. Also, CVPR is one of the two
leading conferences in computer vision. We have also published in ARVO and EMBS, both
leading international conferences in Ophthalmology and biomedical Engineering.
