Sustainable Smart Cities and Regions

This research stream identifies and prioritises ‘smart’ services that will benefit a specific city or region and optimises computing infrastructure design to deliver them reliably and securely.

A major research push is artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to acquire, manage, and analyse data with machine learning techniques for smart specialisations and to advance AI capability of Australian industries by strategically aligning with the national and state AI initiatives.

This stream seeks to develop and commercialise customised software tools and interfaces that will allow small-to-medium enterprises to seamlessly integrate smart services into their own businesses to accelerate growth and productivity.

Research on next-generation intelligent sensors and systems in the light of the challenges faced by regional Australia (e.g., drought, water shortage) is directed toward remote monitoring, managing and optimising resources for sustainable communities.
