Mitacs BSI

This business strategy internship is an incredible opportunity for every student in the Smith Commerce program to gain experience and help grow their skills. With the current global pandemic, many students have been negatively affected with their education and with work outside of school. This internship provides the opportunity to adapt and gain work experience during this limited-work period.
Aside from work experience, I will be able to advance my studies in the commerce program and apply what I gain to my future at Queens and in my career. Through this valuable work experience, I will acquire skills in strategic thinking and real-world problem solving, while simultaneously expanding my professional network and explore future career paths.

Internal Strategy Consultant

Kings Distributed Systems (“Kings”) is a Canadian corporation with the mission to make computing more affordable, secure, and interoperable. Its core offering is a software platform that makes running modern applications cheap and easy through a global ‘marketplace’ for computing resources. Since its inception, it has been delivering high-quality software for use in a broad number of industries, such as public health, STEM research, AI/ML, and cybersecurity. Kings is aware of many more fields such as aerospace, smart cities, and mining that may also have a number of applications that might benefit significantly, but the company has not conducted enough research to confirm their potential. This Mitacs project will conduct this research to suggest which fields are the most promising for Kings in the mid- to long-term, and suggest a viable strategy to address each. The intern will also analyze whether Kings’ solution will hold a strong competitive position in these fields. These activities will all help Kings save significant time and resources when the company is ready to address these fields, and reduces the risk of investing in the wrong ones.

Kings Distributed Systems (“Kings”) is a Canadian corporation with the mission to make computing more affordable, secure, and interoperable. Its core offering is a software platform that makes running modern applications cheap and easy through a global ‘marketplace’ for computing resources. Since its inception, it has been delivering high-quality software for use in a broad number of industries, such as space science, public health, STEM research, AI/ML, and cybersecurity. Universities and colleges are often at the cutting edge of research in these areas, and Kings has already built productive relationships with some including such as Queen’s University. Kings has plans to address the severe shortage of computing resources that Canadian researchers face in these fields by creating campus-wide networks from underutilized desktops, servers, and other devices. This is a massive undertaking that involves key university stakeholders, but which will have significant benefits. This Mitacs project will help Kings achieve this by identifying the key steps, frameworks, and decision makers involved in installing new software in the higher education space. The intern’s involvement will answer questions like these, shortening the companies time to market and helping university researchers nationwide.

Leadogo

COVID-19 has dramatically impacted the mental health of individuals, those in the over 60-year old demographic. As social distancing continues, the Leadogo platform is a plausible conduit for human connection and higher self-worth. It combines the best parts of work with the best elements of retirement and is a catalyst for organizational social good. The contributions of the student will be foundational to the potential scaling of the business. The team-building tool will be something required to service the forecasted number of clients in subsequent years. The tool also has a viable use outside of the platform and could be utilized as a team optimization tool for organizations in Canada outside the general realm of Leadogo’s initial customer base. This tool would result in an additional revenue stream for the company but would improve engagement and team dynamics at other firms. It will be necessary to uncover the critical dynamics of constructing small teams that function first socially, is purpose-driven, and are high-performing. Research has been conducted on behaviours of the demographic, on matching algorithms from dating sites, and with team sports and training executives.

Automated Generation and Integration of AUTOSAR RTE Configurations

Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a system-level standard used worldwide by automotive companies and suppliers to develop standardized software development frameworks for automobiles. The RTE software of AUTOSAR should be configured to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The manual and semiautomatic code creation phases of the software development process for the RTE is time consuming and inefficient. APAG Cosyst is one of the leading companies in ECU design and development and is working on designing a new CAD tool that will automatically generate RTE Code. The created CAD tool will automatically interpret ARXML files and generate executable files (*.h and *.c files).

Adaptive remote powering and data communication for ultra-low power AIOT devices – Year Two

Conscious of AI, IoT, mobile and automotive products’ explosive growth and potential environmental impact, Dolphin Design is committed to accelerating the development of energy-efficient System-on-Chip for its customers. Dolphin Design continuously aims to meet the stringent power consumption targets for Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) devices. The next generation of IoT devices will be wireless due to inconvenience, costs, or in some cases, the inability to wiring them. In addition, many of them might have strict size constraints. Powering and ensuring ultra-long autonomy for devices with no cord for power and limited space for a battery becomes a daunting challenge. Further, in order to make the smart objects paradigm come true (devices with embedded intelligence and high level of autonomy and communication) much research is needed in order to develop self-power managed system with data communication ability which has an ultra-low power consumption, small and simple implementation, and overall optimized performance. In this research proposal, our objective concerns the implementation of an ultra-low power and adaptive wireless power and data transfer system dedicated to AIoT applications.

Analysis and Evaluation of Heathwood Green Home

In order to meet the new 2012 Ontario Building Code (aBC) standard and further differentiate
its leadership in the housing market, Heathwood Home has developed a pilot study to
examine the cost-benefit of different energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy
technologies that could apply to low-rise residential dwellings. The overall objectives of the
proposed study will be three-fold. First, through building energy simulation and other life-cycle
based method, cost-benefits of different potential upgrades will be determined. Second,
through the detailed long-term monitoring of energy and water usage, real cost-benefits of the
chosen upgrades will be assessed with and without the influence of occupants. Third, through
building energy simulation, a refined passive solar optimized housing design will be
developed for minimization of energy demand for both heating and cooling. The proposed
internship is the first of the two expected internships for the overall project. The currently
proposed internship will concentrate on the cost-benefits analysis of different upgrades using
both simulation and collected non-occupied…TOBECONT’D…

Business Strategy for King’s Distributed Systems Ltd

Kings Distributed Systems (“Kings”) is a Canadian corporation with the mission to make computing more affordable, secure, and interoperable. Its core offering is a software platform that makes running modern applications cheap and easy through a global ‘marketplace’ for computing resources. Since its inception, it has been delivering high-quality software for use in a broad number of industries, such as space science, public health, STEM research, AI/ML, and cybersecurity. One customer segment of Kings are municipalities with applications such as these that were previously prohibitively expensive or too complex to build. For example, it is too costly for most cities to monitor hundreds of video feeds using a centralized cloud provider, but with Kings it is now possible to do so. This project with Mitacs will help Kings identify more municipal use cases such as this one, and help build a repeatable strategy for addressing them. The project intern will identify the most common applications that municipalities might use Kings’ technology for and the various municipal requirements for using new software. It will also build some connections with municipal decision makers and gather valuable feedback from these stakeholders.

Depuis la crise sanitaire, les petites et moyennes entreprises québécoises et Canadiennes se sont retrouvées dans l’obligation de repenser leur plan d’affaires et leurs façons de procéder afin de garder leurs activités et leurs employés. Ainsi, la transformation numérique fût urgente pour ces entreprises afin de rester en activité. C’est ainsi que Cominity a connu une forte croissance durant cette période, qui a pu ainsi acquérir une certaine notoriété et développer son portefeuille clients.
