Within CDIT, we are always looking for good students to join us and work within our project areas. The work of our students, HDR and undergraduate, is showcased here – if you are interested in learning more about our work, perhaps undertaking an honours project, HDR studies, or working with us on one of our winter or summer scholarship programs, please contact the project leader for the CDIT project area that you are interested in.

CDIT Welcomes Michelle McClintock, Matt Hart, Gefei Li and Tom Allan

This week we welcome four new members to the CDIT team. Michelle McClintock joins CDIT to complete her PhD research on an organisational framework for enterprise security architecture. While modern enterprise architecture frameworks have planned to capture a holistic picture of an organisation, security has been identified as a separate component which fails to have […]

CDIT Summer Intern – Integration of Video Streaming within MODPIE

Josiah Saunders has recently completed his CDIT Summer Internship, working on integrating video streaming capabilities within the MODPIE performance prediction environment. The MODPIE environment supports early performance prediction of distributed software systems, through the construction of performance models for the distributed software system that may be executed above realistic deployment scenarios. This enables the gathering […]

Sam Jaeschke Joins CDIT

We welcome Sam Jaeschke, who has joined CDIT to complete his Honours year research project. Sam work will extend our earlier work on micro-architectural side-channel attacks. Past research has demonstrated that Intel X86 processors are vulnerable to the FLUSH+RELOAD side-channel attack. The attack allows malicious virtual machine to recover secret information from a victim virtual machine […]

AAMAS 2014: An Architecture for Identifying Emergent Behavior in Multi-Agent Systems

Our paper, An Architecture for Identifying Emergent Behavior in Multi-Agent Systems has been accepted for publication at AAMAS 2014! Abstract: Multi-agent systems exhibit unexpected, emergent behavior as a result of the complexity of agent behaviors and their interactions. Despite significant research interest in the past decades, computational methods to identify and analyze emergence as it happens […]
