XNA (Xbox New Architecture) allows independent game/digital-media content developers to build, deploy, and publish games on the Xbox360 and PC platforms. The technical objective of this project is to bridge Vicon Motion Capture technology (used to record movement and translate that movement on to a digital model) with XNA to allow the users (special effects […]

Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing unprecedented data traffic loads which are straining their existing infrastructure. They are thus interested in exploring research areas which focus on reducing this traffic load. The malicious traffic generated by malware on smartphones is of particular interest. My research focuses on the generation of a software system that marks traffic […]

In this project, the intern will develop computer software used by the film industry in order to simulate new visual effects such as water, blood, and other fluids. This is called fluid simulation. It is very hard, and requires sophisticated mathematics, physics,  and computer programming. Cebas sells a software package called thinkingParticles for the film industry. This software cannot […]

This project involves creating a comprehensive method for developing and maintaining a Meta-model for the representation of Role and Request Modeling (R2M) constructs based on the notion of ontologies. R2M provides clear definitions and semantics for the constructs of conceptual models as well as a set of rules for guiding the modeling process. Currently, there […]

  Mobile Network Carriers are currently experiencing data traffic at such high levels that congestion is becoming an increasingly critical problem. These mobile carriers are exploring new methods to reduce congestion. Malicious traffic that is generated by smartphones is an important issue relative to this problem domain. There is even potential for a particularly virulent piece […]

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solutions and as a part of this, Metafor wants a method to show differences between multiple deployed instances of an application. To implement this, Metafor requires an accurate and high-performance generalized tree differencing algorithm. Differencing algorithms are used for comparing different versions of a document […]

The industrial partner, Digido, is interested in developing and marketing exercise games targeted at children that leverage the increased prevalence of  smartphones and their sensing and computational capacity, including: their ability to detect activity levels; their increasing use as a gaming platform; and their integration with social media and online communities. However, current activity sensing […]

Traditional silicon-based solar cells are harmful to the environment and costly to manufacture. Polymer-based (organic) solar cells on the other hand are thinner and more flexible electronic devices that are economically sustainable and have high cost saving potential due to the printable nature of their manufacturing process. This project involves cost estimation and analysis of […]

Although there is growing awareness of the need for sports events to take account of their environmental impacts and be “greener”, few sports organizations comprehensively assess their environmental performance due to the lack of tailored methods and tools. Small events in particular have limited resources and would benefit from a simplified assessment approach that allows […]

  The emerging high dynamic range (HDR) displays provide a much larger range of luminances compared to conventional low dynamic range (LDR) displays, thereby improving the visual impression of the displayed images or videos. With the advent of HDR displays, a number of key questions have been raised regarding the design of modern HDR displays. […]

  The study will evaluate potential impacts of a catastrophic oil spill associated with tanker traffic from the proposed Northern Gateway Project on Coastal First Nations commercial and traditional activities. Main objectives of the study include determining and quantifying both economic initiatives and traditional activities of Coastal First Nations, evaluating environmental impacts of an oil […]

Cascade Aerospace has developed an industry leading competency around the C-130 military transport aircraft through their relationship with the Canadian Air Force. They would like to market these service support skills, modification competencies, and refurbished aircraft to foreign militaries. Cascade does not currently possess a working plan or model to accomplish the difficult task of […]
