By virtualizing all the various appliances in the network, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) became a key enabler for the coming 5G infrastructure and nowadays a major shift is under way bringing an evolution to cloud-native NFV. In the latter operational model, applications are decomposed into microservices running inside containers to enable automated installation, configuration and […]

5G, cloud and IoT confederation vision is to revolutionize the internet by fostering billions of interconnected mobile and embedded devices, sensors, and services, exchanging information in order to build smart, self-conscious autonomous environments. Yet, the ubiquity and value of connected devices and their applications cannot hide their security and privacy challenges. The enormous amount of […]

L’entreprise StreamScan Inc. produit un « système de détection de compromission » ou (compromize detection system ou CDS), une solution de sécurité innovante, de nouvelle génération qui permet d’identifier l’ensemble des systèmes informatiques (serveurs, équipements réseau, etc.) piratés dans une infrastructure TIC. Ce projet a pour objectif d’adapter le produit CDS au contexte de l’Internet […]

Ubisoft has an extensive database of character’s heads represented as polygonal meshes. Those come from two primary sources: processed 3D scans and models made by artists. It would be convenient to use this database to mix-and-match parts of characters to create new human-like character heads. Let’s say we wish to replace the nose of one […]

Ce projet de recherche est axé sur le développement d’outils numériques permettant de simuler l’endommagement de la microstructure des aciers utilisés chez Hydro-Québec. Cette démarche permettra de mettre évidence les différents mécanismes qui favorisent l’apparition des fissures dans une structure soumise à différents types de chargement. Cependant, pour être en mesure de prédire de tels […]

Blending carbonaceous materials with thermoplastic materials can lead to a significant improvement of the resulting electrical, mechanical, thermal, and gas barrier properties compared with the unfilled polymer. Graphene, the name given to a material consisting of two-dimension layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has extraordinary properties which make possible to produce a […]

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell is a division of Mercedes-Benz Canada and is responsible for Daimler’s global production of fuel cell stacks. Fuel cell stacks are currently seen as a prominent alternative to internal combustion engine in road cars. In the current design the fuel cell stack is assembled using a few hundred individual fuel cell plates. […]

With increasing security risks in critical network infrastructures and emerging cloud technologies with shared capabilities, as well as increasing regulatory requirements on privacy, and data protection, there is a growing need for new approaches to manage security and privacy compliance. The main related challenges are (a) context-aware and fine-grained security enabling efficient real-time enforcement of […]
