To compare how the two basic application model, namely pure native app and embedded browser app can access NFC, Bluetooth for inter device communication and HTTP (e.g. long polling, comet, websocket) and push protocols for state synchronization. This research will offer a better understanding of the abilities and limitations of using native or embedded browser […]

This project investigates the use of HTML5 & JavaScript as a means to ensure rich engaging interactions for remote clients that are using low bandwidth connections with high latency and frequent interruptions.

The main objective of this project is to provide a testing and optimization platform that will accelerate the availability of smart systems for seniors’ home healthcare. The interns from this program will start developing a novel versatile connection protocol that will connect different devices and sensors to the hub provided by our industrial partner SMARTONE. […]

Heart disease is the main reason of death worldwide. One way to understand better and detect heart diseases without need for biopsy via surgery is by using medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac magnetic resonance is a specific kind of MRI which allows great visualization of inner parts of the heart and […]

Le but du projet est de développer un prototype de simulation d’un patient virtuel permettant aux étudiantes infirmières de pratiquer des séquences d’action difficilement reproductibles dans la vraie vie. Différentes recherches seront réalisées en lien avec le développement de cet outil et son utilisation pour la formation des infirmières. Dans ce stage, le stagiaire travaillera […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’améliorer la compréhension des membres par les conseillers de la Fédération des caisses Desjardins. Pour ce faire, nous avons mis en place une solution permettant d’analyser l’information provenant des appels et des discussions par chat. Grâce à différents algorithme de traitement automatique du langage, nous pouvons extraire les […]

Automatic analysis of sport videos is an attractive research area in computer vision that is driving the sport analytics towards a more technological edge. By automatically analyzing sport videos, lots of information could be drawn that benefits the teams, coaches, referees, players and even the fans, such as: extracting strategy of the game, technique and […]

Machine learning for healthcare promises to improve our diagnostic ability, to plot optimal treatment plans, and to smooth clinical operations and lower costs. But, central to these promises is a strong, generalizable numerical representation of a patient’s prior medical history that is reflective of clinical similarity and amenable to modeling. Learning such a representation is […]

Robotics and automation are radically transforming industries—from manufacturing to services—as well as societies. Collaborative multi-robots, in particular, have the potential to greatly improve the performance of any spatial task (e.g., exploration and surveillance) much like distributed computing impacted information science. One fundamental, enabling property of these systems is the ability for their members to exchange […]

We are proposing an investigation of techniques and technologies to support media-enhanced group performances that integrate different performative art forms (dance, theatre, clown, voice, choral) with responsive mixed reality technologies and public data sets. We will work with a group of young performers (13-17 years old) and a local Vancouver choreographer to deeply investigate, with […]

Rimot monitors, controls and provides insights into remote critical infrastructure through the use of enabling technologies such as data analytics, security and advanced networking. Critical research areas in data analytics, security and advanced networking are beneficial for the creation of unique intellectual property and commercialization opportunities for Rimot. This project will focus on the investigations […]

It has been demonstrated in the previous research that monitoring only one point as the sole region of insulation degradation is not sufficient for operational safety of high-voltage bushings. Therefore, monitoring a wider volume of the high stress region inside the bushing using ECT sensing becomes a necessity for earlier detection of defects. In this […]
