Student research opportunities

Research within the Centre for Real-time Information Networks (CRIN) is focused on the management and utilisation of real-time information, particularly within monitoring and control of real-world systems. Research is currently focussed in the following key areas:

  • real-time web engineering: development of web based applications for control and monitoring of real-time complex information-oriented systems (Leader: Prof David Lowe)
  • wireless communication networks: enabling technologies for next-generation wireless systems, including advanced modulation and coding techniques, multidimensional communication systems, advanced signal processing technology and estimation algorithms. (Leader: A/Prof Sam Reisenfeld)
  • network management: autonomic network management; network planning; teletraffic engineering; analysis of complex network management data. (Leader: Prof Robin Braun)
  • architecture-based engineering: design of complex evolvable systems through the creation of complex models of ICT-oriented systems (Leader: Dr. Tim O’Neill).

Research Program (Seminars)

CRIN has a rich research student environment, and is currently developing a structured program to provide support for students in undertaking their research candidature – particularly early in their research. A seminar series and regular student discussion and support forums will be a feature of the program.

Opportunities for both local and international exchanges are also possible. Individual supervisors are often able to provide opportunities, and a more structured exchange program is currently being discussed with Create-Net in Italy.

Student Support

CRIN utilises part of its funding to provide top-up scholarships to selected students whose supervisors are members of CRIN (typically approximately $5000 per year). There is also funding available to support selected research projects. Details can be obtained from academic supervisors.
