Data mining refers to non-trivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data. In this project, the intern will apply data mining techniques to agro-meteorological data provided by Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI). Specifically, he plans to develop mathematical solutions to analyze both current and historic weather data as well […]

The Property and Casualty Insurance Council of Canada (PACICC) is an umbrella body which insures Canadians against the risk that their providers of car and house insurance fail. It comprises many insurance companies, both large and small. The concern is that a local disaster might force the collapse of a locally concentrated insurance company, at […]

This project involves studying the kinematics of the human body during physical therapies on the arm and shoulder. With guidance and assistance from Glenrose Hospital, the intern will collect a library of typically prescribed motions of the shoulder and arm during physical therapy. He will then develop a mathematical model to represent the kinematics of […]

Currently, EMS paramedics record patient information such as history, medical assessment, and treatments rendered onsite with pen and paper. They then convert this information to a paper-based call report and hand it over to the hospital along with the patient. This method is time-consuming and error prone. It causes delay for data analysis and lengthens […]

The objective of the project is to determine the impact of various game features on VLT game play. These features are based on the current strategies adopted by SPIELO for its North American market. This data will be collected from players in a real life setting, then analyzed, and used for player profiling and as […]

Behavioural detectors for intrusion detection require training in order to correctly characterize the operation of a service – protocol combination. Implicit in this is the assumption that the learning algorithm will scale to large datasets and provide simple solutions. This work will address both requirements under a Genetic Programming context through the use of a […]

This project aims at performance modelling of athletes and involves the collection of detailed data that affects rider performance in professional cycling. This data is utilized for assessment of training and performance and for supporting individual training schedules through modelling and profiling of individual athletes. The methodology is based on pattern discovery and recognition using […]

The intern will assist the Greater Moncton Sewerage Commission (GMSC) in the development and production of biologically-safe composts from biosolids by providing novel technologies to assess its biosafety. To achieve this, the intern will develop molecular tools, based on the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, to allow quick, accurate and reliable detection of human […]

This project is part of a larger research project which investigates the applicability of the peer-to-peer (P2P) computing paradigm in designing large-scale content distribution systems. To develop an efficient content distribution system, it is essential to understand the workload that will be distributed, the behavior of content consumers and the environment in which the system […]

This study will gather baseline information on limiting nutrients, current productivity levels and food web structure in two study systems within Fundy National Park as well as other comparative sites within the province, with the intention of applying this knowledge in a follow up study wherein nutrients are added to the stream. This, in turn, […]

SPIELO is a Moncton, NB-based company which designs, manufactures and distributes high-tech gaming products. The intern’s project will focus on analyzing the LZ77 compression algorithm and the AES encryption algorithm from a mathematical standpoint in order to identify any potential performance bottlenecks. This analysis will enable changes to be made to existing implementations of AES […]

Video streaming over the Internet is increasing in popularity. Many video objects are made available online and many users are streaming video everyday. In addition, the increasing processing power of personal computers, and the availability of high-speed Internet services, encourages users to demand more, higher-quality video content. To provide high-quality and to accommodate clients with […]
