Executive Summary
The year has been full of events and
new achievements in research.
2015 has been marked by the new
ERA round, which happened to be very
successful for CIAO. For the first time,
our research in Mathematics (overall as
well as separately in Pure and Applied
Mathematics) has been ranked 3 (‘at
world standard’), while FedUni
contributions (mostly CIAO and Centre
for Multi-Media Computing and
Communications and Artificial
Intelligence Research) to Artificial
Intelligence and Image Processing has
been ranked 4 (‘above world
standard’). CIAO researchers have also
contributed to FedUni success in the
areas of Earth Sciences and Civil
Engineering.
Another sign of recognition of CIAO on
the national level is it having been
awarded a government grant in
Alex Kruger, Research Director, CIAO
mathematics in the framework of the
Australian Research Council Discovery
program. CIAO has been consistently successful in obtaining funding from the U.S. Air
Force. In 2015, for the first time, CIAO joined forces with researchers from France, Germany
and Brazil and has been awarded a grant from the Fondation Mathématique Jacques
Hadamard through its international Gaspard Monge Program for Optimization and
Operations Research.
CIAO has continued its involvement with the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute
(AMSI), National ICT (NICTA), Defence Science Institute (DSI), Telematics Trust, and other
partners. In accordance with the research agreement between FedUni and Capital Markets
CRC Limited signed at the end of 2014, the first two Capital Markets Collaborative Research
Centre projects started in 2015, working with industry partners Medibank and Transport
Accident Commission (TAC).
8 CIAO PhD students have successfully completed their programs this year. We wish them
well in their future endeavours.
International collaboration remains an important component of CIAO activities. This direction
is promoted and consolidated by CIAO International Academic Advisory Group consisting of
3 renowned international scholars. CIAO researchers are actively collaborating with
researchers in 20 countries.
CIAO has organised two successful research workshops: Workshop on Continuous
Optimisation: Theory, Methods and Applications and Malware Reverse Engineering
workshop (ICSL).
Members of the Optimization research group conducted research in optimization and its
applications in engineering, environment, and data mining. The Convex Geometry Group
was formed in the beginning of 2015. The translation of the book Topology Without Tears by
Emeritus Professor Sid Morris into Turkish is progressing nicely and the translation into
Italian is under way. The Facebook group Topology Without Tears Readers has over 4,000
members.

The Health Informatics Laboratory continued its work in data mining in health, telehealth,
complementary and alternative medicine informatics. Technologies for Empowering People
for Participation in Society programme aims to enable the lives of people the world over
through the radical design of software and hardware solutions.
The Federation Learning Agents Group (FLAG) was officially recognised as CIAO’s newest
research group early in 2015. Its research encompasses three areas of strategic
development and expansion of reinforcement learning methods – multiobjective
reinforcement learning; reinforcement learning under coarse quantisation of state space; and
incorporating expert advice into reinforcement learning.
The Internet Commerce Security Laboratory (ICSL) continues its work in the area of Cyber
security. In 2015, ICSL improved its research output and financial outlook. The budget was
brought back in black and the services to the industry partners improved.
The Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) is up and running. It has replaced the AMSI
Access Grid Room network and enables mathematicians to collaborate through advanced
video conferencing and desktop sharing facilities.
The Faculty review of research centres is almost complete. It has been a long process which
has added uncertainty to the operation of CIAO. There will be some organisational changes
that are going to happen in 2016. We have a new Deputy Vice Chancellor, Research &
Innovation, Prof Leigh Sullivan commencing in early 2016 and we look forward to working
with him.
CIAO continues as a strong research area of the University and we look forward to 2016 and
its new opportunities.

Highlights:
Convex Geometry Group was formed in the beginning of 2015. It includes Dr Guillermo
Pineda-Villavicencio, Dr Julien Ugon, and A/Prof David Yost. The group is active, meets
once a week to discuss research problems on convex polytopes. These were originally
reading sessions, but now function mostly as working sessions.
A/Prof David Yost took long service leave, and therefore was able to do some research.

Topology Without Tears (Sid Morris)
The translation of the book into Turkish is progressing nicely and the translation into
Italian is under way.
The Facebook group Topology Without Tears Readers has over 4,000 members.
Lower bound theorems for general polytopes etc. (David Yost,
Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio, Julien Ugon).
In 2015 the group worked on bounding the total number of j-dimensional faces of
several classes of polytopes. One of them was the family of d-dimensional polytopes
with v vertices, v no more than 2d + 1. For this family tight lower bounds for the
number of 1-dimensional faces and for higher dimensional faces in some special
cases were determined.
Another major result which came out of this research was tight lower and upper
bounds for the number of j-faces of almost simplicial polytopes with the number of
vertices as a parameter. Almost simplicial polytopes are polytopes in which every
facet, with the possible exception of one, is a simplex.
Chebyshev approximation for multivariate functions (David Yost, Nadia
Sukhorukova, Julien Ugon)
MINECO of Spain and FEDER of EU grant MTM 2014-59179-C2-1-P (Chief
Investigator Prof Marco López Cerdá) is progressing well.

Selected projects
Enhancing and supporting deliberations within multidisciplinary decision teams. ARC
Discovery DP140100047 (Frada Burstein, Monash; A/Prof Andrew Stranieri and John
Yearwood, FedUni; James Warren, University of Auckland; Alan Wolff, Wimmera Healthcare
Group).
This project explores IT support for exchange of insights and assertions by multidisciplinary
community in treatment planning for patients with multimorbidity. By analysing the reasoning
of clinician groups in a hospital setting a Knowledge-Deliberation template is being
developed to inform the design of generic Deliberation Simulator. The online environment will
provide a template for complex decision support.
An experimental evaluation of the usefulness of computer-supported argumentation
to improve occupational health and safety in construction design. ARC Linkage
LP120100587 (Nick Blismas and Helen Lingard, RMIT; A/Prof Andrew Stranieri, FedUni).
Assessing a structure for safety is difficult at many levels. This project explores an
information visualisation approach revolving around an infographic to enhance
communication and knowledge sharing between stakeholders in the construction industry.
Cloud Platform for Active Healthcare Applications with Wearable Sensors, ANZ
Medical Trustees grant (Dr Venki Balasubramanian, A/Prof Andrew Stranieri and A/Prof Iqbal
Gondal).
Page 25 of 46
Wearable sensors that detect
physiological signs such as heart activity
(ECG), body temperature and blood
pressure are rapidly emerging onto the
consumer market. These sensors will
ultimately play a central role in
healthcare globally for remote,
continuous patient monitoring in hospital,
home and in workplace contexts.
Currently sensors are expensive; their
installation requires the complex
establishment of a wireless sensor
network transmitting data to healthcare
application in Cloud environments, and
new algorithms to process the data to
raise specific alarms.
Low bandwidth HD3D video-conferencing (A/Prof Andrew Stranieri, Dr Cameron Foale).
This world first technology involves a
software and hardware configuration that
enables a HD3D video to be streamed
across the internet to be viewed using a
standard html 5 browser. This provides a
compelling 3D experience at transmission
rates that can be managed by low
capacity networks.
Data Analytics to Identify Glycated Hemoglobin Co-markers for Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus Diagnosis (A/Prof Andrew Stranieri, Dr Herbert Jelinek, Dr Sita Venkatraman, Dr
Andrew Yatsko)
Data mining algorithms have been applied
on a large clinical dataset to identify an
optimal cut-off for HbA1c and to identify
whether additional biomarkers can be used
together with HbA1c to enhance diagnostic
accuracy of T2DM. T2DM classification
accuracy increased from 78.71% for HbA1c
at 6.5% to 86.64% if 8-OHdG was included
and HbA1c was in the 4.29 to 6.23% range.
A similar result was obtained when IL-6 was
included (accuracy = 85.63%) and a HbA1c
range between 5.73 and 6.22%. Many of
the patient records examined were correctly
classified as T2DM if additional clinical
indicators were taken into account, even
when HbA1c was below 6.5%. The
application of data analytics to medical
records from the Diabetes Screening
program illustrate that data analytics, combined with large clinical datasets can be used to
identify clinically appropriate cut-off values and suggests reasons for why HbA1c as a single
marker may not always classify the presence of T2DM correctly.

Broadband 3D Telehealth Applications for the Empowerment of Patients in Health
Care Facilities and the Home, A/Prof Andrew Stranieri.
This project examined the feasibility and utility of high definition and 3D Tele-health
with participation by eleven healthcare organizations, two universities an e-Research
facility and a rural network provider from regional Victoria including:
West Wimmera Health Services (Nhill), Wimmera Healthcare Group (Horsham), Ballarat
District Nurse and HealthCare (Ballarat), Ballarat Oncology and Haemotology Services,
Ballarat Health Services, Northern Health (Epping) and Goulburn Valley Medical
(Shepparton), Eventide Aged Care (Stawell), Benetas Aged Care (Brunswick) and Heritage
Lakes (Sth Morang).
The project demonstrated that 3D tele-health applications that realize clinical benefits and
productivity gains are possible. However, technologies are currently cutting edge, existing
network capacity is challenged to support 3D and clinical benefits of 3D over high definition
require further investigation which is now occurring.
The technical innovation in this project resulted in three world “firsts”:
• HD3D wound image store and forward: A Store and Forward Online system that enables
3D image files (.mpo) to be uploaded, downloaded and viewed with a 3D television.
• High bandwidth 3D video conferencing. The configuration and integration of commercial 2D
codecs to transmit very high quality 3D video conferencing.
• Low bandwidth 3D video conferencing. The development of software that enables 3D video
conferencing to be performed on low capacity networks using conventional web browsers.
The project worked in the areas of tele-dentistry, tele-wound and tele-oncology.

Technologies for Empowering People for
Participation in Society (TEPPS)
The TEPPS programme aims to enable the lives of people the world
over through the radical design of software and hardware solutions.
TEPPS are designed through close target user collaboration and have
the aim of empowering peoples' lives. The TEPPS programme
focuses on researching, designing, implementing and evaluating
simple, accessible and cost-effective enabling systems. Another focus of the TEPPS
programme is to research equity in terms of health support provision and quality of life
issues.
Close target user informed design and key stakeholder collaboration are key priorities for any
ventures that the TEPPS programme decides to explore. Universal design is a priority in
order to create appeal and to encourage uptake for a product beyond the intended target
audience. By carefully simplifying design you can maximise the user experience and
enhance interaction. Projects range in nature from immersive virtual worlds with rich
interactions and three dimensional environments, through to DVD-based applications and
simple web-based interfaces.
TEPPS sought to form collaborative partnerships within industry, government bodies,
community organisations and academics. Examples of past and current relationships, and
collaborations include Australian Speak Easy Association; The Australian McGuire
Programme; and The Australian Stuttering Research Centre.

Projects
Scenari-Aid
Scenari-Aid in its current phase is an interactive website (www.scenariaid.com) designed to
be a social simulator primarily marketed towards people who stutter (PWS). Scenari-Aid
hosts over 100 streaming video-based scenarios covering the likes of restaurants, jobs
interviews and other common interactive social settings. Each scenario contains a number of
steps within giving the user the opportunity to challenge themselves and reflect upon how to
respond appropriately in terms of both narrative content and also a preferred fluency
management technique. People who stutter have used it to practise their speech and any
associated fluency shaping management technique. Some PWS have also used it to assist
them with issues of social confidence possibly influenced by their stuttering behaviour. Since
release Scenari-Aid has found a much wider target audience beyond PWS and is being
touted as a great tool for the likes of: long term unemployed, people from a non-English
speaking backgrounds, acquired brain injury recovery and Down Syndrome. Currently there
has been a lot of interest shown in Scenari-Aid for the treatment of aphasia.
A study currently in the write-up phase of Scenari-Aid users of the initial DVD phase has
indicated that the DVD alone allowed improvements of the user’s general fluency levels,
social confidence levels and assisted with the transference into the real world of such
Page 29 of 46
practise skills. There is a low-number pilot clinical underway looking at the effectiveness of
Scenari-Aid in aiding traditional speech therapy outcomes.
The Australian Federal Department of Education and Skills are currently showing interest in
Scenari-Aid in terms of using Scenari-Aid within their Adult Migrant English Program.
Meetings are being planned into
the New Year about this possible
development.
Scenari-Kids
Scenari-Kids is a newly founded
project which aims to replicate the
success of Scenari-Aid by
creating a similar site for children.
The development is being aided
by a newly awarded Telematics
Trust grant. Scenar-Kids is
currently going through
prototyping and testing with
speech professionals. 2016 will
see the development of ScenariKids and eventual global launch.
Further testing will incorporate
feedback and guidance from
affected parent groups.
Fluency Fun Land
Fluency Fun Land
(https://asterius.ballarat.edu.au/fluencyfunland/) is a website
designed by a project capstone team in 2011. Fluency Fun
Land (FFL) has been designed as a series of mini-games to
encourage children who stutter to practise their learnt fluency
techniques with family support. The novel idea behind FFL is
not the games themselves but the hopeful inclusion of them
into fluency practise in the future in family and clinical settings.
The idea is to use the games to build spoken narratives
around the gameplay. These games can be played both in a
private home setting and also a clinical setting. During the narratives built around the game
play proper use of speech management technique will be encouraged.
Fluency Fun Land has been redesigned slightly this year and updated via the help of a QuT
student completing their final year project. This will serve as a prototype to gain interested
from different target user groups. FFL was redeveloped using HTML5 to ensure crossplatform functionality. We are collaborating with Assoc. Prof. Ann Packman from the
University of Sydney’s Australian Stuttering Research Centre on this project and we will be
looking for grant support in the future to develop more and expand. Recently the site has
been user tested by clinical speech pathologists and small changes have been made.
Dave’s Diary
A tablet-based application designed to enable carers and patients to track and monitor dayto-day planned activities and medications. Dave’s Diary is not quiet complete and TEPPS will
endeavour to address minor modifications during the year.

Visitors
On the 19th June Assoc. Prof Ann Packman the
Senior Research Officer from the Australian
Stuttering Research Centre. The University of
Sydney) visited CIAO and gave a lecture titled
“Increasing Access to Treatments for Stuttering
in Australia”. The presentation was very well
attended and Ann was enthralled with talking to
academics outside of her discipline about the
possible causes of stuttering and how to
possibly model them. Members of TEPPS also
found the time to introduce Ann to the Oculus
Rift virtual reality platform.

Invited visits
On the 29th of October Grant Meredith and Evan Dekker were invited to speak to the
Australian Stuttering Research Centre (ASRC) at Lidcombe in New South Wales on the topic
of “Emerging technologies to excite, inspire and debate”. Grant lead the ASRC team through
a raft of emerging technologies that may assist with speech therapy into the future with the
aim of encouraging future collaborations between the ASRC and FedUni. Evan spent the
second half of the presentation leading the ASRC researchers through a selection of virtual
experiences and demonstrations via the Oculus Rift.
Funding
Successful $25,497 Telematics trust grant for the “Scenari-Kids: Empowering the Future”
project which will see an online social simulator tool developed for children with
communication disorders.
Award nominations &
outcomes
Congratulations to Grant Meredith,
Associate Dean, Student Retention and
Success, Lecturer and designer of
Scenari-Aid on his Alumnus of the Year
Award. Grant was presented with his
award at an evening ceremony on
Thursday 13 August in the Caro
Convention Centre and spoke about his
progression within the University, his research work with CIAO and the development of
Scenari-Aid, a virtual application to assist adults who stutter to practice their speech in a
supportive environment across a range of social and work settings. Scenari-Aid has received
recognition across Australia and internationally as a great tool for people who stutter.
Chancellor, Dr Paul Hemming unveiled a new Alumni Wall of Fame and it was pleasing to
see that of the four alumni awards presented since we became Federation University, two
have been awarded to CIAO researchers – Grant Meredith and Robert Layton (2014).

Research Collaborations
Flinders University
Grant Meredith and Chris Turville from CIAO are collaborating with Michelle Swift and Julie
McCulloch from Flinders University on a project called “Investigating the effects of online
simulation practise on maintenance of speech fluency and communication attitudes”. The
aim of the project is to determine whether or not use of an online simulation tool results in
improved speech fluency in real-life situations, improved maintenance of speech skills,
improved communication attitude and improved social participation compared to not using
the tool. The tool, in this case meaning “Scenari-Aid”. This is a very important project in
terms of video-based sensitization outcomes for people who stutter/and or may have anxiety
issues. The results of this pilot study were presented at the 2014 Oxford Dysfluency
Conference and the study is still on going with the possibility of another collaborator coming
on board to expand participant numbers.
University of Sydney
A grant proposal has been made lead by the Australian Stuttering Research Centre (ASRC)
for am NHMRC grant for a 2017 start. The project is titled “Stuttering, disability, and social
participation across the lifespan”. This research develops three lines of defence against the
disabling effects of stuttering through the lifespan. Those three lines of defence span the preschool years, the school years, and adulthood. Outcomes will prevent or minimise distress
from the disorder and maximise participation in society for those affected. This was
unsuccessful, but a new USYD application is sledged for 2016. Both institutions are looking
at ways to collaborate into the future.
Macquarie University
We are in the early stages of collaborating with Elisabeth Harrison (Head of Speech
Pathology) in the Department of Linguistics concerning the study of a Masters student. The
Masters student is intending to develop a speech measurement and management tool for
people who stutter. The tool is intended to be an app for an Android smart device.

The Federation Learning Agents Group (FLAG) was officially recognised as CIAO’s newest
research group early in 2015. The creation of FLAG formalises the ongoing research activity
within the field of reinforcement learning which was previously located within DMIRG,
recognising the growth in capacity in this area over recent years. Currently FLAG’s research
encompasses three areas of strategic development and expansion of reinforcement learning
methods – multiobjective reinforcement learning (MORL); RL under coarse quantisation of
state space; and incorporating expert advice into RL.
FLAG researchers Peter Vamplew and Richard Dazeley have been leaders in the
development of MORL over the last decade. Their international reputation in this field has
been reflected in this past year by invitations to be an invited speaker at the 2016 Adaptive
Learning Agents workshop in Singapore, and to co-edit a special issue of Neurocomputing
journal on MORL in collaboration with Dr Marco Wiering and Dr Madaline Drugan (Holland)
and Assoc Prof Madhu Chetty from MCCAIR. Assoc Prof Peter Vamplew presented an
overview of work on MORL at the European Workshop on Reinforcement Learning in Lille,
which was very well received with the consequent discussion running 30 minutes longer than
allocated in the schedule.
RL under coarse quantisation of state space is a new project established in 2015 by Richard
Dazeley, which has the potential to impact widely throughout RL research as it potentially
affects the core algorithms used throughout the field. Dr Dazeley presented preliminary work
in this area at the 2nd Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making workshop in Alberta. A
major journal paper on this topic is planned for 2016.
Incorporating expert advice into RL is the topic of Adam Bignold’s PhD research. This work
aims to blend the long-term benefits of open-ended reinforcement learning with short-term
benefits from following human advice. As an off-shoot of this research Adam and his
supervisors (Richard Dazeley and Peter Vamplew) have commenced a collaboration with
Matthew Taylor (Washington State) and Tim Brys (VUB, Belgium) on a survey of prior
approaches to assisted reinforcement learning.

CIAO has been involved with the NICTA for several years. This included joint research in the
area of optimal control and support by NICTA of CIAO PhD students.
In 2015 NICTA joined efforts with the Digital Productivity team at CSIRO to form Data61, the
largest data innovation group in Australia.
A/Prof Madhu Chetty is coordinating FedUni collaboration with NICTA/Data61.
PhD student Ghasem (Soorena) Ezzati (principal supervisor A/Prof David Yost) submitted his
thesis in November 2015.
PhD student Sara Hassani (principal supervisor Dr Musa Mammadov) is completing her
thesis and hopes to complete in 2016.
Student Lizhao Liu who was awarded the NICTA Summer Scholarship in 2014 undertook her
research project over the summer of 2014/2015. Her project was titled “Optimisation of Road
Vertical Alignment Design”. She worked with Andrea Rendl, at the Monash NICTA lab and
NICTA Optimization group and Lizhao said after completing the project “Thanks to the team I
was in and the encouragement from my supervisor; now I’ve learned the knowledge of
optimization and constraint programming, finished my project, and also been considering to
go for further study and devoting myself to research work. I really appreciate this opportunity
for me to consider my future way”.
Student Melanie King was awarded the NICTA Summer Scholarship in 2015 and will
complete her research project working with Peter Vamplew and Rosemary Torney,
Federation University and Manuel Cebrian, Data 61 over the 2015/2016 summer months on
a project titled “Applying Authorship Analysis to Identify Online Sexual Predators” and we
look forward to hearing about her project once completed.

CMCRC has been established under the Commonwealth Government's Cooperative
Research Centre program to enhance and commercialise research in association with higher
education institutions by undertaking research projects with industry partners for the purpose
of enhancing the efficiency and integrity of Australian and global capital and health markets.
In accordance with the research agreement between FedUni and Capital Markets CRC
Limited signed at the end of 2014, the first two CMCRC related projects started in 2015,
working with industry partners Medibank and Transport Accident Commission.
Surgeon scorecard
Medibank
Daniel Morales-Silva started a CMCRC funded PhD under the supervision of Dr Guillermo
Pineda-Villavicencio and Dr Robert Layton to work with Medibank. Daniel is working on
applying Social Network Analysis (SNA) to health insurance data. While SNA has been
applied previously to model interactions between medical providers, these networks do not
take into account the time changing nature of the interactions between medical providers.
Page 35 of 46
Starting from 2 years of data provided by Medibank, Daniel will develop new algorithms to
group provider networks into communities and analyse and compare how these communities
operate. By taking into account the chronological evolution of the networks, Daniel will be
able to answer questions such as which group has the most influence over the community as
a whole.
Daniel Morales-Silva works four days a week at Medibank, in close collaboration with their
analytics team led by Rory Atchinson, and one day per week at Federation University. Aside
from his main research topic, he also assists Medibank’s analytics team with smaller tasks,
such the development of an algorithm for predicting when members will leave.
Transport Accident Commission (TAC)
Dr Musa Mammadov, in collaboration with Dr Julien Ugon, started working with the TAC to
undertake research on data analysis and modelling based on data collected by TAC. It will
help to improve existing Decision Support Tools and develop new ones that could be used in
different stages of TAC services.
Some specific problems, related to the claims data, include the prediction of claims that could
have ceased in the 5-th development month and between the 5-th and 8-th development
months and those expected to last more than 8 months. The analysis of provider
performance is also one of the major problems of this project. It aims to identify factors
significant to predicting provider behaviour and forensics.
In 2015, Musa was working for three months part time, and took up a full time position at the
beginning of 2016.

Alex Rubinov Memorial Oration
Each year an oration to commemorate the life of
Professor Alex Rubinov, founding director of CIAO, is
held to celebrate his contribution to the University. The
oration is for the general public with everybody
welcome to attend.
This year’s oration "Doing Maths: A Risk Free Choice!"
was presented by Dr Mark Lawrence, Managing
Director of the Mark Lawrence Group, a
global management consulting firm specialising in risk
management and governance who combined personal
anecdotes from the twists and turns of his career and
insights from his professional experience around the
world.
Mark explained how maths prepared him for many
unexpected challenges and opportunities which he
encountered along the way and why be believed
passionately that students, parents and teachers alike
can use maths to help the teenagers of today and
tomorrow prepare well to embrace the challenges and
opportunities of innovation and the uncertain future.
