Computer hardware and software have revolutionized the film production process and brought about a world of visually rich, immersive videogames. These days, computers are used both in the process of developing preliminary visualizations of cinematic sequences (known as previsualization) and on-set to preview computer-generated environments and visual effects (known as virtual production). These techniques allow […]

This project will develop a novel sensor based gesture controlling system aiming at significantly improving game player's satisfaction via realistic playing engagement/experience. With such interface technology, the player can control the game directly via his/her natural gestures and body movements which are translated into game interface parameters in real time. The objectives of this project […]

  Foreign Affairs analysts monitor news media for evidence of shift in public sentiment on key political questions in countries with unstable regimes. Health Canada analysts monitor social media for public reactions to the outbreak of H1N1 flu and the government’s response. The analysts make recommendations to the government regarding public and defense policy decisions. Given the massive amounts […]

  Great improvements in telematic technology and fleet management systems lead developers to provide numerous applications for location awareness, road emergency assistance, and remote control. Some fleet management systems that are used commercially are Fleetilla and Emun LifePilot Fleet. On the other hand, by fast growth of handheld devices and wireless networks, there is a […]

This project is aimed at designing a comprehensive PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system for the automatic operation and control of three wastewater treatment plants under construction in northern Saskatchewan. We are going to use mathematical modeling to complete this task. In order to maximize the safety level of the operating plant, we will carefully investigate […]

In Computed Tomography (CT), X-ray radiation is used to penetrate through the internal structure of the patient body in order to produce digital images. Therefore patient could be exposed to certain level of X-ray radiation dose. Accumulation of these exposures beyond certain threshold could increase risk of fatal cancer. Thus it is of paramount importance […]

The research project will involve the development of features and techniques to aid people with communication disabilities through the use of consumer mobile devices (ex. smartphones) and tablet computers. Some of the major areas of interest include: location aware vocabularies, predictive sentence construction, and support for alternative input for people that also suffer from motor […]

The proposed project addresses the main challenge in modeling long-dated (maturities of 30 years or more) foreign exchange (FX) interest rate (IR) hybrid derivatives, namely the strong sensitivity of the products to the skew of the FX volatility smiles via the use of a stochastic process, such as the Heston model. Numerical methods based on a partial differential equation […]

  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 […]

  This research seeks to address common issues that plague content and information management at small to medium–sized, know ledge–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 and research […]

In this project, the intern will develop computer software used by the film industry in order to simulate new visual effects such as water, blood, and other fluids. This is called fluid simulation. It is very hard, and requires sophisticated mathematics, physics,  and computer programming. Cebas sells a software package called thinkingParticles for the film industry. This software cannot […]

The research project aims to develop an effective method that utilizes multiple features to improve mass spectrometry based peptide identification with database search approach. The project is a continuation to the student’s previous research on precursor charge state prediction, since predicted charge state is a novel feature and has a great potential to discriminate the […]
