About CISCP

CISCP has joined the Swinburne Centre for Information Technology Research as one of its research programs. The new name of CISCP is the Complex Intelligent Systems Research Program and this website will be updated soon.

The Centre for Intelligent Systems and Complex Processes has been established within the Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies and collaborates with the Faculty of Life and Social Sciences to act as a focus for, and to promote, the work being carried out in areas such as artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, collective intelligence algorithms, data visualization, brain dynamics and brain modelling.

These activities are used to model and visualise data, to optimise a wide range of processes and to model a variety of real world complex systems including the brain.

Recent developments include:

  • A multi channel architecture network that can learn patterns in data orders of magnitude more complicated than conventional networks while retaining the ability to generalise.
  • A combined meta heuristic that can schedule complex problems fast and adapt to changes in the scheduling environment ever faster.
  • The use of dominant and recessive genes to produce systems that can adapt to dramatically changing environments.
  • The development of a mathematically sophisticated model of the human brain's electrical activity (EEG) that has provided many important insights into the mechanisms the brain exploits to produce complex behaviour.

Any inquiries in regard to possible post-graduate opportunities in the centre are welcome. Industry inquiries about possible projects are also welcome.

Professor Tim Hendtlass is the Director of the Centre for Intelligent Systems and Complex Processes.
