1 - Detecting deadlock using model checking

Supervisor:	Ian Hayes	Project ID:	1
Research Group:	Systems and Software Engineering Group	Max. students:	1
Discipline(s):	Software	Num. students signed up:	1
Prerequisite(s):	COMP4403 (possibly as co-requisite)
Description:	Static program analysis is concerned with finding bugs or security loop holes in programs by analysing the code, e.g., to find potential references through a null pointer. It is closely related to program verification. This project will form part of a larger project with Sun Labs. For more details see the associated web page.

1 - Build A Model-based Infusion System for Anaesthesia

Supervisor:	David Mason	Project ID:	1
Research Group:	Electromagnetics and Imaging Group	Max. students:	1
Discipline(s):	Biomedical Engineering	Num. students signed up:	0
Prerequisite(s):	Computer programming
Description:	Interface a syringe infusion pump to a PC and build a pharmacokinetic model-based infusion system for delivery of anaesthetic or analgesic agents. The user interface is important for clinical interaction. This is a safety critical system which must appropriately accommodate error conditions.

2 - Multiple Infusions Advisory System for ICU Circulatory Management

Supervisor:	David Mason	Project ID:	2
Research Group:	Electromagnetics and Imaging Group	Max. students:	1
Discipline(s):		Num. students signed up:	1
Prerequisite(s):	computer programming
Description:	Patients in intensive care units (ICU) often require the concurrent administration of multiple drug infusions. Build an advisory system based on novel decoupling algorithms for blood pressure and flow to assist clinical staff in co-ordinating the adjustment of fluid, vasoactive and positive inotropic agents. A simplified circulatory model can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of this novel approach compared to alternative approaches.

3 - Physiological Control of Rotary Heart Assist Pumps

Supervisor:	David Mason	Project ID:	3
Research Group:	Electromagnetics and Imaging Group	Max. students:	1
Discipline(s):	Biomedical Engineering	Num. students signed up:	0
Prerequisite(s):	computer programming
Description:	Blood pumps need controllers to mimic heart function and vary flow according to differing levels of physical activity. Build a pulsatile cardiovascular model so that you can investigate alternative control strategies for rotary blood heart pumps.
