Modern software organizations use continuous integration (CI) practices to build and test their products after each code change in order to detect quality issues as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the number of builds scales super-linearly with the number of hardware and feature configurations that should be supported. In order to avoid running out of build […]

The use of polyethylene (PE) plastic pipes for transporting gas and water has increased over the last few decades. The quality assessment and overall safety of the PE pipe networks have been of high priority for the distribution companies. The existing technology is somewhat complicated to use quickly and effectively by less experienced personnel. The […]

Visier Solutions Inc hopes to create a new standard for the measurement of employee diversity in organizations based on scientific research and measured baselines. With the help of the interns, this study will set a standard for the practical measurement of diversity in organizations as well as best practices in the analysis of metric results. […]

There are thousands of mobile apps available for download that are geared towards health and fitness, yet limited research evaluating the real-world effectiveness of such apps exists. The MOVR app is designed specifically to enhance one’s functional abilities, fitness, and functional well-being through personalized exercise prescriptions based on individual needs.

The goal of this research project is to identify ways to apply machine learning technology to help communication network operators cope with the vast amounts of data they must process to understand the health of their networks and to quickly resolve problems.

KPU and BuildMapper pursued a collaborative data science project to automate and enhance BuildMapper’s core business intelligence algorithms. One algorithm will consist of a customized web crawler for the discovery and acquisition of semi-structured and unstructured construction phase information sourced from municipality websites. The other work includes the design of a SQL database for the […]

Driven by cloud based applications and services, there are substantial worldwide research and commercialization efforts that are being directed toward improving the capacity of intra- and inter-data center networks. Intra-data center networks operate in the O-band (1260-1360 nm) over distances ranging from 0.5 m to 20 km, and inter-data center networks operate in the C-band […]

Video games are highly interactive experience. With modern approaches to game design it becomes impossible to anticipate all the situations a player can ended up in. Building up on research regarding generative music systems at the Metacreation Lab for Creative AI, PhD student Cale Plutt will research, design and implement a generative music system tailored […]

In partnership with True North Clinical Research, two studies are proposed to examine the moderating effect of using cannabis on anxiety in response to death-thoughts. In Study 1, participants will be randomly assigned to consume cannabis either before or after thinking about death. Self-reported affect will be assessed to determine if cannabis helps reduce death-anxiety. […]

Salmon stock in BC have declined substantially since the 1990’s. A US/Canada Coded Wire Tag (CWT) fishery monitoring program was implemented in the 1980s with the intention of helping managers understand salmon stocks in order to make decisions about harvesting. The program relies on the fishing community return salmon heads so managers can retrieve CWT […]

The general aim of this proposal is to discover new natural products with antibacterial activity of relevance to companion animal health. While numerous discoveries of natural products have been made, the rate of discovery of new natural products has declined in recent years. The strategy outlined in this project aims to provide a streamlined approach […]
