Research Groups:

Over the last decade, the data and computing needs of modern enterprise and industry have accelerated to include HPC. In the next decade, these communities will be focused on the challenges associated with the development of extreme-scale computers and the end of Moore's Law. Extreme-scale machines will be of enormous value to a wide range of scientific and commercial applications. However, physical limitations and consumer-driven markets are leading to disruptive changes in computer architectures that will impact the design of future machines.

New architectures and system platforms call for new algorithms. They will likely further facilitate integration of data analysis and synthesis with simulation. The conference is devoted to geometric aspects of dynamics and topology. The themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: This is the sixth annual workshop on integrable systems aimed to gather Australian and international scientists.

It is often considered to be a sub-field of applied mathematics. Employing techniques from other mathematical sciences, such as mathematical modeling , statistical analysis , and mathematical optimization , operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems.

Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and because of its focus on practical applications, operations research has overlap with other disciplines, notably industrial engineering and operations management , and draws on psychology and organization science. Operations research is often concerned with determining the maximum of profit, performance, or yield or minimum of loss, risk, or cost of some real-world objective. Originating in military efforts before World War II, its techniques have grown to concern problems in a variety of industries. Operational research OR encompasses a wide range of problem-solving techniques and methods applied in the pursuit of improved decision-making and efficiency, such as simulation , mathematical optimization , queueing theory and other stochastic-process models, Markov decision processes , econometric methods , data envelopment analysis , neural networks , expert systems , decision analysis , and the analytic hierarchy process.

Because of the computational and statistical nature of most of these fields, OR also has strong ties to computer science and analytics. Operational researchers faced with a new problem must determine which of these techniques are most appropriate given the nature of the system, the goals for improvement, and constraints on time and computing power. The major sub-disciplines in modern operational research, as identified by the journal Operations Research , [6] are:. In the decades after the two world wars, the tools of operations research were more widely applied to problems in business, industry and society.

Since that time, operational research has expanded into a field widely used in industries ranging from petrochemicals to airlines, finance, logistics, and government, moving to a focus on the development of mathematical models that can be used to analyse and optimize complex systems, and has become an area of active academic and industrial research. In the 17th century, mathematicians like Christiaan Huygens and Blaise Pascal problem of points tried to solve problems involving complex decisions with probability.

Others in the 18th and 19th centuries solved these types of problems with combinatorics. Charles Babbage 's research into the cost of transportation and sorting of mail led to England's universal "Penny Post" in , and studies into the dynamical behaviour of railway vehicles in defence of the GWR 's broad gauge. Operational research may have originated in the efforts of military planners during World War I convoy theory and Lanchester's laws. Percy Bridgman brought operational research to bear on problems in physics in the s and would later attempt to extend these to the social sciences. Modern operational research originated at the Bawdsey Research Station in the UK in and was the result of an initiative of the station's superintendent, A.

Rowe conceived the idea as a means to analyse and improve the working of the UK's early warning radar system, Chain Home CH. Initially, he analysed the operating of the radar equipment and its communication networks, expanding later to include the operating personnel's behaviour. This revealed unappreciated limitations of the CH network and allowed remedial action to be taken.

The modern field of operational research arose during World War II. In the World War II era, operational research was defined as "a scientific method of providing executive departments with a quantitative basis for decisions regarding the operations under their control". During the Second World War close to 1, men and women in Britain were engaged in operational research. About operational research scientists worked for the British Army. Patrick Blackett worked for several different organizations during the war.

Early in the war while working for the Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE he set up a team known as the "Circus" which helped to reduce the number of anti-aircraft artillery rounds needed to shoot down an enemy aircraft from an average of over 20, at the start of the Battle of Britain to 4, in Britain introduced the convoy system to reduce shipping losses, but while the principle of using warships to accompany merchant ships was generally accepted, it was unclear whether it was better for convoys to be small or large.

Convoys travel at the speed of the slowest member, so small convoys can travel faster. It was also argued that small convoys would be harder for German U-boats to detect. On the other hand, large convoys could deploy more warships against an attacker.

Blackett's staff showed that the losses suffered by convoys depended largely on the number of escort vessels present, rather than the size of the convoy. Their conclusion was that a few large convoys are more defensible than many small ones. While performing an analysis of the methods used by RAF Coastal Command to hunt and destroy submarines, one of the analysts asked what colour the aircraft were.

As most of them were from Bomber Command they were painted black for night-time operations. At the suggestion of CC-ORS a test was run to see if that was the best colour to camouflage the aircraft for daytime operations in the grey North Atlantic skies.

Other work by the CC-ORS indicated that on average if the trigger depth of aerial-delivered depth charges DCs were changed from feet to 25 feet, the kill ratios would go up. The reason was that if a U-boat saw an aircraft only shortly before it arrived over the target then at feet the charges would do no damage because the U-boat wouldn't have had time to descend as far as feet , and if it saw the aircraft a long way from the target it had time to alter course under water so the chances of it being within the foot kill zone of the charges was small.

It was more efficient to attack those submarines close to the surface when the targets' locations were better known than to attempt their destruction at greater depths when their positions could only be guessed. Blackett observed "there can be few cases where such a great operational gain had been obtained by such a small and simple change of tactics".
