Constructing artificial agents operating with unmeasurable uncertainty. The project aims to develop new methods to help digital systems make decisions when there is too little data to rely solely on probabilities. This kind of uncertainty occurs, for instance, where human behaviour or unfamiliar terrain is unpredictable. Expected outcomes of this project include tools for building and checking decision-making systems using ideas from mathematics and computer science. This should provide a unique benefit for the automatic design of systems that do not have access to enormous amounts of data --- a critical aspect that few AI approaches can handle --- and so should support advances in robotics and automated planning, and strengthen Australia’s contribution to foundational research in intelligent systems.

This projects aim to research the fundamental problem of secure distributed computing in open Internet, where network condition maybe unstable and even under attacks. Existing deployed protocols are all assuming certain good network conditions and thus will become vulnerable when moving to the open Internet. The research outcomes will include secure distributed consensus and computing protocols that will remain secure and efficient in open network. With those protocols, all services (including many mission critical ones) now maintained by distributed systems will continue offer security and resilience, and could also enable broader access to new services which now may only be maintained in in-house environments.
