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 […]

Personal Support Workers (PSWs) provide 70-80% of all paid home care. Unfortunately, they experience occupational injuries at more than twice the rate of the general population. These injuries increase costs for home care providers, reduce the availability of skilled workers, reduce workers’ quality of life, and impact the consistency of care that can be provided […]

West 5 community in London, Ontario, will pursue high penetration of electric vehicles, and is exploring an innovative marketing program of including them with the sale of each new condominium unit. The primary objective of this project is to determine an economical approach to create an acceptable infrastructure for these electric vehicles that will be […]

In this project we are proposing a framework that uses wireless communication links to enable decentralized and real-time load flow analysis of distribution systems. This analysis is performed by smart agents installed at each bus in the distribution system. Using the outcome of this analysis we can perform decentralized real-time control. The proposed framework allows […]

Electrical Energy represents one of the fastest growing types of energy; however this growth is accompanied by diminishing fossil fuel resources. Renewable sources of energyespecially solar- represent one of the possible ways to meet this increased demand. For that reason , many countries have ambitious plans for increasing their electricity production from solar energy. Utilities […]

The last 5 years have seen remarkable advances in speech, image and language recognition tools that have been made available to the public through computer and mobile devices’ applications. Some of these significant improvements were achieved by an artificial intelligence tool known as deep learning (Hinton et al., 2006) that generally refers to a set […]

The majority of mid-20th century high-rise concrete housing stock have reached the end of their first lifecycle in terms of structural integrity and environmental performance, and the urban planning ideals with which they were designed have made these neighbourhoods irrelevant to the contemporary culture of the city. Solutions for economical, structural, social and technological barriers […]

The proposed research project targets anomaly detection of event data. The project has a duration of four months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel approach on GAN for real-world data, and (2) compare it to alternative methods. The intern will use existing research resources, and will apply […]

The proposed research project targets computational performance improvements of an data analysis pipeline. The project has a duration of four months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to properly characterize the performance of individual stages of the existing data analysis pipeline in terms of execution time, memory, and I/O, and (2) to improve the […]

The UbiLab and the CSA Group are collaborating on the development of a roadmap for a data integration infrastructure that will enable Ambient Assisted Living technology to share data at a wider scale. The current technology landscape has resulted in manufacturers of Internet of Things and Ambient Assisted Living technologies generating siloed data that provide […]

Unconventional shale gas has become a common source of hydrocarbons in the past few decades with advances in extraction techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Many hydrocarbon-bearing rocks that were once unobtainable are now available for oil and gas production; the Nordegg Member in northeastern British Columbia is one of these rocks units. […]
