What is "nicta"

NICTA (previously known as National ICT Australia Ltd) is Australia's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Research Centre of Excellence. The term "Centre of Excellence" is common marketing terminology used by some Australian government organisations for titles of science research groups. NICTA's role is to pursue potentially economically significant ICT related research for the Australian economy.

Currently NICTA is structured around groups focused primarily on pure research and the implementation of those ideas within business teams.
