Geometric Networks typically are a sparse subgraphs of  a complete graph defined over a set of points embedded in the plane (or space). There are several algorithms which take a complete graph and compute a sparse subgraph satisfying various constraints, e.g.  low diameter, constant degree and fault-tolerant. In our recent work, we have designed algorithms […]

Many industrial processes require materials that combine high strength at elevated temperatures with good corrosion and wear resistance. Superalloys are the only materials which can serve in such conditions, because of their outstanding high-temperature properties and excellent corrosion and wear resistance. However, due to limitation of testing facilities and difficulty of experimental operations, the data […]

    An embedded software system is a software system that is part of a larger system composed of software and hardware elements and that often have to react in real-time to its environment. The cruise control in a car, or the auto-pilot in an aircraft are typical examples of embedded software systems. Embedded software systems are pervasive […]

  The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada’s premiere public institution for the promotion of the performing arts. For over forty years, the NAC has showcased the finest performers and production professionals from around the world. Many of these productions required the design and construction of elaborate stage sets that were built specifically for the […]

  After pharmaceutical products are released into the market, a number of statistical methods are used to monitor the adverse effects of these drugs. If a large enough number of incidences are reported to regulatory bodies, appropriate measures are taken. This research project is dealing with the statistical methods used to decide on how many reports is required before […]

  This research project represents the next phase in a partnership project between Carleton University and the Batawa Development Corporation to redevelop 1,500 acres of land in Batawa, Ontario, as a model community and an international example of social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Interns will consolidate research to date on innovative forms and applications of building information modelling and […]

  The Semantic Web offers a tantalizing new opportunity to share knowledge that is formally represented. While general visualization strategies for linked data are the subject of many current investigations, certain relations have a well understood meaning which could lead to custom visualization strategies. Our research proposal consists of three parts: (1) surveying the kinds […]

  The Spatial Plasma Discharge Ignition System is used as an ignition module in internal combustion engines (ICE). Its implementation leads to an increase in engine fuel efficiency. The purpose of this 4-month internship is to implement a fuel and air regulating system equipped with electric solenoids and pressure transducers to measure the pressure gradients in […]

  The purpose of this project is to develop the scientific knowledge to search for life on Mars. We expect signs of life on Mars to be hard to find and interpret. This project will determine the operations and science and engineering coordination needed to be performed by a micro rover equipped with scientific equipment. The basis sign […]

  Current flight simulation technology is aimed at the commercial aviation industry, with larger simulators used to simulate larger aircraft. There are currently only a limited number of high fidelity type-specific aircraft simulators available and even then, at a much higher cost than most flying clubs can afford. This project aims to produce a proof-of-concept […]

Using the same Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) voluntary codes (“rules”), different junior mineral exploration companies obtain different CSR outcomes, i.e. the rules do not make the game. The overall study aims to find out how the game is played ‘on the ground.’ This internship covers part of the exploratory phase of the project that aims […]

There is an interest in the optical determination of the combustion process within the IQT™. This would be performed using optical probes integrated within the IQT™. From these probes, the location of the cool-flame and hot combustion process will be identified for different fuels within the IQT. Along with the location of combustion, the ignition […]
