As manufacturing and resource-based industries face growing challenges, Canada’s future increasingly depends on advances in and sustainability of knowledge organizations. Knowledge-based workers comprise a growing proportion of the workforce today. More often than not, they work in the context of large-scale expert networks, spanning across different disciplines and organizations. They rely on software technologies for […]

High definition acquisition devices have been commonly used in video capture. Millions of videos are recorded and stored daily. Due to the rapidly growing volume, effectively searching and matching the desired video clips from archives has become increasingly challenging. It may need days and weeks to locate the target information, such as suspected criminals, traffic […]

Often, a single employment notice may receive hundreds of applications. Manual inspection of applications is extremely time-consuming, and may be approximated by a computer program. Such a program would automatically extract a number of features from each application. For example, relevant work experience, skills, and qualifications might represent appropriate features. After extracting these features, the […]

Blockchain is an emerging technology that has the potential to change the way financial participants transact with each other. It enables direct transfer of value and financial assets between participants over networks without the need for a central authority (internet of value). It does this by combining the functionality of different technologies – distributed systems, […]

In response to an emergency involving a maritime incident, the first task of a Search and Rescue (SAR) mission coordinator is to develop plausible scenarios to help identify the area likely to contain the missing vessel and/or person(s) in water. Once the area likely to contain the search object has been determined, the SAR mission […]

Enhancement of technology and computer science has helped researchers in multiple fields and industries, from health care to automotive industry. Smoking is one of the habits that could harm humans dramatically. Lung cancer, heart attack is just some of the diseases that come with smoking. A large number of people strive to quit smoking each […]

Le domaine technologique de l’aquaculture est en pleine expansion. De nouveaux instruments d’échantillonnage génèrent beaucoup de données alors l’analyse de celles-ci s’avère un défi important. Les aquiculteurs à travers le monde ont besoin d’être guidés de manière fiable dans leur pratique et les avancements en technologie sont là pour les aider. Dans ce projet, le […]

This proposed research will be held as part of the implementation of an online marketplace for smart assets, project that will be developed at Side Effects Software .The main objectives of this applied research project will be first, trying to predict the performance requirements. Second, estimating the set of queries that need to be performed. […]

This project is concerns the development of a real-time computational, probabilistic algorithm or artificial intelligence to predict when a scheduled job in a mobile workers job queue is at risk, given the type of jobs in the queue and the historical durations to complete them. In addition, consideration must be given to traffic patterns, and […]

Maritime situation analysis is critical for dynamic decision-making in responding to real-world situations. Rapidly unfolding situations that pose an imminent danger or threat to critical infrastructure or public safety require interactive decision-making to enable a swift response. The main objective of this project is to design a robust methodical framework for the development of intelligent […]

Ethernet networks are typically best effort networks where traffic flows may contribute on creating network congestion and lead the switches to start dropping packets randomly. This results in unstable network latency that some applications cannot tolerate, especially in the context of 5G networks where delay constraints are very tight. The proposed research project aims at […]

XNA (Xbox New Architecture) allows independent game/digital-media content developers to build, deploy, and publish games on the Xbox360 and PC platforms. The technical objective of this project is to bridge Vicon MOCAP technology with XNA to allow for Real Time Visualization of Motion Capture data on the PC and Xbox360 platforms using XNA.The Vicon Real-time […]
