Data communications, networking and security

Research in data communications, networks and security covers both guided and wireless communications of voice, data, images and video and their impact on the organisations in which they are used. It addresses key issues for utilising data communications and the importance of using networking technologies in a secure way to support organisations.

Research efforts in this area include the following topics:

Security of information systems: the management of information system resources with a special emphasis on data security and information systems’ investments.
Pricing of pervasive networking services: investigation into how to integrate pricing mechanisms with policy-based network management systems to facilitate ubiquitous services.
Viable business models for mobile commerce: how to develop a viable business model that improves the processes and results of M-commerce activities.
Competition in next generation networks (NGNs): development of dynamic models of competition between next-generation networks.
Computational incentive mechanism incubators: software platforms for the design, implementation and testing of market-based resource allocation methods.
