In Canada, approximately 40,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur annually. Survival rates are under 15%, and the only treatment is immediate use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), coupled with CPR. This project will focus on finding solutions to identified problems associated with locating and using an AED. Some of these solutions will […]

This project is aimed to develop a next-generation network providing unprecedented quality of cellular service to Canadians and small and medium businesses, stimulating innovations and improving the quality of life of our people. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure, which is the first 5G network in Canada supported by three governments (Quebec, Ontario, and Canada), the […]

To meet the network latency requirements in intelligent driving (e.g., city-wide smart parking, vehicle infotainment, and collision avoidance), more and more computing functionalities are moved from the centralized clouds to the network edges (e.g., mobile base stations, or roadside infrastructure). By doing this, the response time to drivers or in-vehicle passengers could be improved. Nevertheless, […]

Despite significant recent progress on generative models, controlled generation of images depicting multiple and complex object layouts is still a difficult problem. Among the core challenges are the diversity of appearance a given object may possess and, as a result, exponential set of images consistent with a specified layout. In this project, we propose to […]

La Tomographie d’émission par positrons (TEP) est une modalité d’imagerie médicale qui permet d’observer des processus biologique in vivo. L’imagerie TEP trouve de nombreuses applications en neurosciences, notamment pour la détection et le suivi des maladies neurodégénératives. Pour des images précises, le sujet doit demeurer immobile pendant l’acquisition des données qui peut typiquement durer plusieurs […]

Dans un souci de se moderniser et d’offrir des solutions plus conviviales à ses clients, notre en-treprise souhaite explorer les capacités des technologies émergentes et ce qu’elles peuvent apporter lors-qu’il est sujet de signature numérique dans un monde totalement sans papier (aussi appelé paperless dans l’industrie), particulièrement dans un contexte où les signataires se retrouvent […]

Canadian urban populations are increasingly aware of climate change and generally support mitigation strategies. But understanding how urban form impacts energy use and emissions is challenging. We propose to design, deploy and evaluate digital media tools that support collaborative exploration of urban design scenarios where some participants are joining from remote locations. Key elements of […]

L’extraction d’information est un processus de structuration de I’information pertinente de documents et elle est un element cle des applications gerees par KEATEXT. Elle est constituee de trois etapes : extraction des entites nommees, identification de patrons d’extraction pour detecter leur role et fusion des informations des entites autour d’evEmements. Ce stage est consacre a […]

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 […]
