The Smart Services Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) is a major research collaboration
between 18 industry (media and finance), government and university partners which is
funded by its partners and the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres
Programme.
As part of its program Smart Services CRC will be awarding student scholarships
for work associated with its various research programs.
Research topics will need to be approved as relevant to the research program of the CRC,
and academic staff participating in Smart Services CRC research projects will need to
be involved in the supervision of scholarship students.
The University of Sydney is significantly involved in three major projects:
Multi-Channel Content Delivery,
Personalisation, and
Education and New Media Technologies.
These projects also have input and involvement from CRC industry and government partners.
This presents outstanding opportunities for industry-oriented research across a range of
disciplinary areas including context aware networking and mobility, user modelling and
personalisation, data mining, adaptive content delivery, new user interfaces, Web 2.0
based educational platform development and assessment.
