Centre for Biomedical
Instrumentation
Director
Associate Professor D. Murphy
School of Biophysical Sciences and Electrical
Engineering, 214 8834
The Centre was established to provide a focus for research and
consulting activities related to instrumentation for medical and
physiolo$cal use. The Centre draws on the strengths in
instrumentation and bio~hvsics within the School of Bio~hvsical . .
Sciences and Electrical ~n~jneerin~.
At present, research activities include electrical impedance
tomography, instrumentation for isometric muscle-strength
assessment, instrumentation for electroencephalography,
instrumentation for ambulatory monitoring, electromyography
applied to muscle-fibre characterisation, effects of
electromagnetic fields on tissue and a fibre-optic based
respiratory monitor.
Other aims of the Centre include:
to offer a facility enabling individuals to pursue
postgraduate studies in biomedical instrumentation
to offer short courses serving the needs of medical and
health personnel and the biomedical instrumentation
industw
to assist in the teaching of biomedical instrumentation
in undergraduate and postgraduate Swinburne
programs
to provide a contact point for visitors from other
institutions or companies to undertake collaborative
projects
to promote the availability and commercial
development of intellectual property originating within
one centre.

Established in 1985 under the Key Centres of Teaching and
Research Program funded by the Commonwealth Tertiary
Education Commission, the Centre aims to provide a focus for
teaching and research in computer integrated manufacturing
(CIM).
Funding has been provided to establish a computer integrated
manufacturing facility to be used for high level teaching and
research at Swinburne; for industrial research and consulting
and for training of academics from other institutions.
The Centre has a group of staff available to assist in industrial
development projects in CIM and advanced manufacturing.
Industrial prototyping can also be done.
Centre for Computing
Productivity lnstitute
Director
t? Kindler
Division of Business, Humanities and Social
Science, 214 8883
The mission of the Computing Productivity Institute is to:
provide a database of information on available
computing productivity methods and tools for use with
the whole spectrum of computing systems
provide a database of information on the vendors and
users of productivity tools, identifying opportunities for
Australian software houses to distribute andlor build
products where gaps exist
provide and maintain an environment to evaluate and
demonstrate productivity tools and techniques
conduct ongoing research into use and misuse of these
methods and tools
provide on-campus and in-house courses to raise
awareness and facilitate the correct use of the
productivity methods and tools
provide consulting in the selection, installation and use
of productivity tools.
