Research Grants

2011-2013

Visual analytics for high volume multi attribute financial data streams

While our ability to accumulate data (such as financial data) is increasing, our capability to analyse them is still inadequate despite technological improvements. The new Visual Analytics methods will allow processing of the massive and time-varying data so that the time-critical decisions can be made with minimum effort.

ARC Linkage Grant

2012-2014
