Summary: The requested facility is an electron microscope dedicated to observing,
in real time, the nano scale mechanisms that control the response of materials
to stress and temperature. The insight provided by this facility is needed for
the development of the next generation of materials, particularly "nano"
materials based on particles, fibres, whiskers, nano tubes, thin films and other
micro formed parts. These materials will underpin the next generation of technological
advances and new applications such as nano machines. The facility will also
be used to train the future scientists who will develop these exciting new technologies.

Summary: Parallel and distributed processing can improve company profit, lower
costs of design, production and deployment of new technologies, and create better
business environments. To achieve this, new inexpensive parallel and distributed
systems are needed. Research and initial developments show that such systems
can be built based on enterprise grids. The understanding of enterprise grids,
and in particular their operating systems, scheduling algorithms, load balancing,
heterogeneity, transparency, applications deployment, is of the most critical
importance for their development and taking them by industry and business. The
new laboratory funded by this grant will place Australia at the forefront of
research into the future generation of grids.
