Ubisoft’s cloud-based video game ecosystems experience the workload up to 5+ millions players in a typical week. Workloads on game servers are of different scales, ranging from tens of clients per game server to thousands of clients for traditional workloads. To guarantee game player user experience, a pool of servers is launched to react to […]

Automatically assessing a pilot performance during a flight training session is a capability that can enhance the flight instructor during his duty. From data gathered during a flight maneuver, we are looking for a way to automatically assess pilot performance to augment instructor performance and provide objectivity during flight training assessment.

The electric power industry is undergoing considerable changes with respect to structure, operation, regulation and modernization. One of the significant changes is the increased utilization of distribured energy sources (DES) such as wind and solar and other immerging technologies particularly in electric distribution systems. It is envisioned that DES will bcome the main source of […]

In a full-duplex hands-free voice communication system, a speaker located in a room at one end of the link may receive an echo of his/her voice due to the acoustic coupling between the loudspeaker and the microphone at the other end of the link. The goal of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is to remove such […]

Optical fiber communications systems are used throughout the global communications network to transmit information over distances ranging from several kilometers to thousands of kilometers. This infrastructure is the backbone of the Internet that is used on a daily basis worldwide. Applications driving demand for increased capacity include (i) video streaming services, (ii) cloud based storage […]

Sustainable public transfer systems are getting a lot of attention, and many organizations are transforming their fleets into systems that rely on alternative fuels; the Electric Vehicle (EV) being most popular. The environmental, geopolitical and financial advantages of EV vehicles are well studied; however, security of these systems is not given full attention. The most […]

This proposal introduces a novel approach for designing and fabricating a low-cost and low-power heater for a dynamic thermochromic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. Thermochromic PVC has a reversible color change by a temperature variation and has applications in buildings. In order to have a dynamic thermochromic PVC, a heater is needed, that can be realized […]

Cameras apply a lot of processing on the raw image recorded by the sensor to enhance the brightness, contrast, and colors, and make the output image visually pleasing. The image is also finally compressed to make the file size smaller. These operations make it difficult to reverse to the raw sensor image which is necessary […]

In this project, the goal is first to design a domain ontology that models the innovation management forms semantically. At this step, the ontology contains domain-specific background knowledge, which is expressed using terminological statements. Then every completed form and the value of its fields are asserted as instances of different concepts of the ontology. Afterwards, […]

This project is intended to support the deployment of an underwater communication network, that is multi-hop and multi-modal. It relies on the combination of acoustic propagation and magnetic-induction to send the information from a remote instrument through a set of relay nodes and to a destination. To enable end-to-end transmission over a secured link, secured […]

Indoor farming offers the opportunity to grow produce close to the consumer and has recently been gaining attention due to its efficiency, controllability, and sustainability. In indoor farming, food is grown indoors in a controllable environment, with stable environmental conditions. This approach reduces the land footprint required, the demand for energy and water, the nutrient […]

This project will involve the development and validation of simulation models suitable for studying, designing and implementing a small-sized power system with reduced fuel expenditure and carbon (iv) oxide emissions, for oil and gas extraction activities. The successful implementation of the project will further Audacious Energy Corp.’s knowledge to launch and test a Minimum Viable […]
