Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising alternative to meeting today’s transportation demands. Longer lasting and more robust fuel cells are essential for commercial applications. A common issue with the longevity of a fuel cell stack is the tolerance to repeated start-up shutdown cycles. During these cycles, the fuel cell can become starved of fuel due […]

The proposed research project focuses on the dynamic analysis of embedded systems. The project has a duration of six months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of a newly proposed QoS-aware dynamic instrumentation framework on real-word time-sensitive applications, and (2) compare the outcome to that of an existing […]

The science and technology of Radiotherapy for treating cancerous tumor more accurately and precisely is improving constantly with the availability of cutting-edge imaging systems in Radiation Treatment room, and advancements in computer technologies. However, these improvements are associated with complexities and potential risks. To mitigate the risks, a new class of Quality Assurance (QA) systems […]

Glencore is considering the use of DETA (diethylenetriamine), a mineral processing reagent, to improve process performance in Strathcona Mill, located near Sudbury, Ontario. DETA forms soluble complexes with nickel and copper ions, and can cause the concentration of these metal ions to exceed the value permitted in the final effluent. The objectives of this project […]

McCoy recognizes U of A’s capability in engineering informatics and has approached U of A to conduct a joint research program to investigate a methodology applicable to McCoy’s unique business practice nature for implementing a new enterprise resources planning system. The most challenging research aspect of novelty is the requirement of a neutral information model […]

The main objective of these two subprojects is to provide a web portal for uploading hydrography related data of sensors system embedded on fishing boat of volunteers in Canada Northern communities. Indeed, the geospatial portal will provide a comprehensive framework to allow for the storage, discovery and accessibility of the bathymetric and related oceanographic data […]

The proposed research aims to develop better computer simulation tools for the study of large electrical power systems. The premise of the research is based upon the concept of co-simulation, wherein two specialized computer simulation tools, each with unique features and strengths, are used in conjunction to solve a large electrical system. In the particular […]
