Prioritizing projects as a multi-criteria evaluation problem

CAE is the world-leading supplier of flight simulators and training services. Intensive competition for scarce resource exists in the multi-project environment at CAE. Without standard evaluation and objective prioritization of projects, it is difficult to allocate resources in an efficient and optimal way. From the proposed research project, CAE can expect to receive a method based on decision-making criteria that can prioritize resource allocation among multiple projects and project tasks automatically by using methods developed with multi-attribute value theory and data envelopment analysis. During the Mitacs project, the intern will acquire knowledge about decision-making, develop advance skills using Excel, improve research capability as well as gain industrial experience.

Development of Additive Manufacturing Post-fusion Processes for Landing Gears

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology demonstrates great ability of fabricating complex geometry and reducing buy-to-fly (BTF) ratio. The objective of the Héroux-Devtek R&D project is to build a relationship between post-fusion processes and material properties for additively manufactured Ti64 landing gear components. From the previous studies, promising heat-treatments were identified. In this project, studies will only focus on the four selected heat treatments. Microstructure and mechanical properties of AM components will be studied after each heat treatment at pre-determined condition (e.g., temperature, duration, inert gas, pressure, etc.). References built at the end of the studies will facilitate decision making of appropriate post-fusion processes for different AM components, in order to achieve desired material properties.

Auditing in the cloud, Using OpenStack Congress

In a multi-tenant cloud environment, several tenants share the same physical resources. To ensure security of tenants’ data and process, appropriate security measures should be implemented by the cloud provider at multiple layers. Particularly, appropriate controls for end-to-end network isolation must be put in place. The proposed research project aims at elaborating innovative and efficient approaches and methods to audit end-to-end network isolation in the cloud. The new knowledge and technologies that would be transferred to Ericsson through this project include a framework for automating verification of network isolation in the cloud, methods for collecting and processing data, languages and algorithms for verifying security and detecting security requirements violation. In addition to knowledge dissemination using scientific publications, the project aims at designing and implementing a research prototype that would be integrated with existing cloud management systems, such as the Ericsson Cloud Manager, as a value-added feature.

National ID Systems and Techniques of Population Control: The development of surveillance-assisted political economy from colonial to neoliberal times in Japan

My project investigates the colonial development of Japan’s national identification (ID) systems, and the transformation of those surveillance techniques in our digital age. National ID systems identify individuals with a centralized ID number, collect and use the different kinds of personal data for multiple purposes. Those ID techniques have spread rapidly in the “war on terror” and the globalized economy. However, many of them are historically rooted in colonialism. Fingerprinting was invented in India under the British Empire. Early fingerprinted ID cards were issued in Manchuria in Northeast China, under Japan’s occupation in the 1920s-1945. Compulsory ID cards systems allowed the Japanese colonizers to identify the Chinese workers, residents and migrants, and track their movements, to eliminate potential resistance and use them as cheap labour power. Many Chinese who were categorized as “risk” to Japan’s colonization encountered the direct violence by the Japanese military. It is important to disclose the colonial origins of the ID techniques, and construct a mutual understanding of the colonial past among global communities, in order to develop the more peaceful relationships in the future. My research will bring ethical considerations to the current expansion of ID systems as surveillance.

Designing a Usable Software Lifecycle Traceability Language Part 2

Teams of specialized workers develop most software. For example, one team may specialize in the requirements that describe what the software is to do. Another team may specialize in producing the software itself. Yet another team may specialize in determining whether the software meets the desired requirements. Supporting communication between all these teams is challenging: each team is focusing on their part of the system, yet needs to have awareness of the work being performed by other teams.
This project (continuing from part 1) investigates appropriate mechanisms for providing developers access to software lifecycle information through a natural language interface. New knowledge gained from interaction and usage of the natural language interface may help the organization plan future product offerings and will potentially help improve the productivity of its own developers through increased visibility into software lifecycle information.

Load Adaptive Consistency Protocol

In a cloud context, it is important to synchronize the information between nodes of the system. This research looks as existing problems and provides improvements in terms of performance and availability. For that reason, cloud management solutions are needed which will benefit Ericsson with new mechanisms for uniformity of information between nodes. And, the same statement applies to cloud solutions in Canada.

WebAssembly Evaluation for Software Protection

WebAssembly (WASM) is a new portable size and load-time efficient binary code format designed to serve as a compilation target for the web. WASM enables browsers to compile code bundles and run faster than existing Javascript. It will include both a binary notation, that compilers will produce, and a corresponding text notation, suitable for displaying in debuggers or development environments. WASM is still in early stages of development and has not been evaluated comprehensively. Our objective is to experiment with browser implementations of WASM and investigate its capabilities. We will exploit WASM to evaluate its security offerings and functional specifications for future deployment in applications. We will engage with WASM development team of partner organization to make certain that it has all the capabilities required for deployment. We will also conduct a vulnerability assessment on existing browsers to find out possibility of security threats when WASM is used. Moreover, we will investigate possible impacts to Irdeto’s current software protection technology and make necessary recommendations on evolution strategy and plan to software protection technology in WASM.

Recherche-action portant sur l’implantation précoce du Projet Baromètre dans le champ de la santé mentale, en contexte de logement social avec soutien communautaire

En 2012, un regroupement de partenaires intersectoriels de Sherbrooke – oeuvrant à améliorer les conditions et la qualité de vie des personnes itinérantes et/ou souffrant de problèmes de santé mentale – a fondé La Coopérative de solidarité L’Autre-Toît. Tout en offrant des unités de logements sociaux à des personnes vivant une grande précarité résidentielle, l’équipe de l’Autre-Toît accompagne de façon personnalisée les membres (soutien communautaire) et crée des opportunités d’entraide et de soutien mutuel entre ces résidents (animation d’un milieu de vie communautaire). Selon la littérature scientifique, ce type de pratique intégrée apparaît prometteuse et efficace. Or, qu’en est-il dans la réalité ? Ainsi, cette recherche-action visera à implanter et à intégrer, aux pratiques de L’Autre-Toît, un outil numérique de collecte de données – nommé Le Projet Baromètre – dans le but de documenter les effets produits sur la qualité de vie des membres-résidents de l’organisme. Les résultats de cette démarche de recherche permettront de démontrer la pertinence et l’efficacité de ces pratiques novatrices, de même que son effet sur la diminution de la consommation de services publics conventionnels (urgence, hospitalisation, interventions policières, etc.). Par ailleurs, cette recherche-action engagera l’équipe d’intervention dans une démarche d’amélioration continue de leurs stratégies d’action.

Modelling of Spray Droplets in a Liquid Fuel/Air Mixture Using a Sharp Cartesian Method

Improving engine performance, including fuel economy, emissions, and power output, is a very complex issue and still requires further research. Since transportation systems, and specially aircrafts, are typically powered by liquid fuels, the process of fuel/air mixture preparation plays a key role in combustion (i.e., fuel burning). Nonetheless, since fluid properties such as density and viscosity vary by several orders of magnitude across fluid/gas interfaces, accurate modelling are possible only with careful treatment of all important phenomena including large density jumps across fluid interfaces. Therefore, to accurately capture the gas-liquid two-way effects, utilizing an interface tracking method such as the Cartesian method, which has been developed by MEMPHIS group at Inria Research Center, is essential. Utilizing this method, a reliable model for the breakup of droplets will be proposed, which will lead to develop new liquid fuel/air preparation techniques and hence the possibility for more efficient and less pollutant combustion technologies.

Robust statistical damage assessment of infrastructures

Structural health monitoring is regarded as the main tool in assessing the functionality of existing structures. The importance of these techniques emerges by considering that failure of an infrastructure results in catastrophic loss. With such techniques, damages in a structure can be detected, before reaching dangerous levels. Those are purely based on measurement data and no structural models are required. In recent years, a statistical framework for damage detection has been developed with significant success on real structures. In order to infer the location of a damage after its detection, a structural model is required. To achieve an efficient damage
localization method, interaction between signal processing specialists at Inria and civil engineering experts at UBC is required. Models of investigated structures will be coupled with the previously developed statistical approach in this research. The objective is to develop the necessary tools to bring damage localization into practice, aiming at a robust method for real applications such as bridges and tall buildings.
