Cloud hosting environments include large scale distributed storage systems. With the advent of Big Data, especially newer biomedical and biometrics data, collected from wearable monitoring devices, there is a high need for Cloud-based solutions for large scale storage and high bandwidth on-the-fly data analysis for such data. A key problem for IT companies that collect […]

“Much of life is online, so online security is critical. While many aspects of security are infrastructural, users must make key decisions. In particular, users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When […]

Users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When attackers can convince users to trust their sites, though phishing or other strategies, user security and privacy are easily compromised, malware can be downloaded, […]

The intern will work with the project supervisors to develop an online tool to capture 15 key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect social and environment performance of co-operatives in Canada. The intern will attend focus meeting with the supervisors in order to identify the co-operative participants’ requirements. The intern will complete a systems mock-up and […]

This research seeks to address common issues that plague content and information management at small to medium–sized, knowledge–intensive enterprises. By using qualitative research methods and drawing on a theory of control this case study will provide specific, practical, and usable information about inefficiencies and pain points experienced by Algorithmics, in addition to enriching the trade […]

Dans les systemes d’autopartage dit «a un seul sens», les utilisateurs peuvent prendre une voiture dans une station et la laisser ensuite a une autre station. Ce comportement conduit generalement a une situation pour laquelle certiaines stations sont pleines et d’autres vides. Le systeme est d’autant plus contraint que les vehicules sont electriques et qu’un […]

In this research, we propose a framework to create and manage virtual organizations (VO) in a distributed environment based on service oriented infrastructure. The proposed framework enables networks of organizations to form virtual workflows based on their software infrastructures, and share and monitor their performance metrics without the need for a central authority. An abstraction […]

Workforce scheduling algorithms are used by businesses around the world, including hospitals, factories, and retail stores, to determine when and where employees should come to work. Usually, the needs of organizations change over time, but the scheduling algorithms used in these systems usually do not change. Kronos is an industry leader in scheduling software, and […]

We will build a prototype system that can be used to give a personalized recommendation for the ideal fitness/weight loss regimen for a consumer given their personal health record data. This will be based on building a relational probabilistic model that is based on standard medical ontologies, initially on expert knowledge, and can make predictions […]

Long-term monitoring and modeling energy consumption behaviors is a daunting task for decades. This project aims to achieve efficient energy consumption data collection and processing using wireless sensors and cloud platform together, focusing on large scale enterprises that consume large amount of energy, e.g., electricity, gas. By tackling the challenges through algorithm design and system […]

Access-control policy management is an increasingly hard problem from both the security point of view (is the policy “safe”?) and the functionality point of view (does the system still work as expected?). Even when a policy is considered both safe and functional, each addition, deletion or modification of the policy has the potential to break […]
