Explaining security compliance failures in Network Function Virtualization environment through root cause analysis

The objective of this project is to elaborate an automated and scalable approach to assist security analyst in investigating and identifying underlying key cause (or causes) behind security or compliance failures of network services in NFV-based environment. Finding the root cause allows appropriate and achievable actions to be taken to recover or/and prevent the recurrence […]

Cognitive Radio for Multimedia Traffic in Wireless Mesh Networks

In a cognitive wireless mesh network, licensed users (PUs) may borrow surplus spectrum from other PUs and rent them to unlicensed users (SUs) for getting some revenue. For such spectrum sharing paradigm, maximizing the revenue is the key objective of the PUs, while that of the SUs is to meet their requirements and getting a […]

Development of a macroscopic model to simulate water beads on hydrophobic andsuperhydrophobic coatings to be used in-flight icing software such as CANICE-2D

The intern has developed a 3D microscopic model to simulate water bead behavior on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings. The microscopic model developed at Concordia University which simulates one bead cannot be directly integrated into an aircraft icing panel code such as CANICE-2D. CANICE-2D approved by Transport Canada has been widely used at Bombardier Aerospace to […]

Using RTLS and Computer Vision to Extend Worksite Safety

The project aims to extend worksite safety of construction projects at Hydro-Quebec (HQ) using computer vision and a Real-Time Location System (RTLS). The case study is a substation construction project near Montreal. The main safety risks that will be targeted in the case study are related to equipment mobility (struck-by accidents) and not wearing Personal […]

Just-In-Time Scaling of Cloud Based Video Games using Machine Learning

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 […]

Private SQL interface for encrypted data

Querying databases without a layer of privacy protection might lead to serious privacy issues. Such issues include access patterns and communication volume patterns. By combining the state-of-the-art privacy standard (differential privacy) and encryption in provides resilience to a host of attacks on remote databases, including data reconstruction attacks. However, there is still research work needed […]

Connected and Automated Vehicles: Ameliorating Traffic Safety and Operations

It is expected that a complete deployment of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) onto a transportation network will take a long transition period and, therefore, reliable and accurate modeling of mixed traffic networks that include both conventional vehicles (ConVs) and CAVs is of paramount importance for the success of CAVs concept implementation. This project will […]
