A High Dynamic Range display is a display that can reproduce a wider range of image intensities than typical displays – that is, a range more closely matching the capabilities of the human visual system. Specifically, BrightSide Technologies’ DR37-P display can produce an eye-squinting 4000 cd/m2 (as bright as a ceiling fluorescent light) or as […]

ParetoLogic Inc is a Victoria, BC-based software company which develops anti-spyware solutions. Maintaining the accuracy and completeness of their products’ spyware detection capabilities is a key business need in the competitive anti-spyware marketplace. Currently, maintaining the requisite spyware signature database is a human-intensive effort, relying on highly-skilled personnel to both collect and analyze potentially malicious […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

The goal of this internship project is to optimize Bell Canada’s network engineering processes to better support the complexity of the company’s network technologies. In this project, to maximize network flexibility and scalability and to minimize the costs, the intern proposes to explore an innovative modular approach for network engineering. Each module will have specific […]

Alcatel manufactures telecommunications equipment, ranging from telephone handsets to internet routers. The Research & Innovation group within Alcatel is mandated with evaluating new technologies and new ideas that may benefit Alcatel products, thereby benefiting Alcatel’s customers, and ultimately the end users. One current area of research is the ability to detect when the behavior of […]

Complex Systems focuses on developing the next generation of sensor networks. Detection and location of microwave emitter/reflector using sensor networks have attracted much attention in the sensor and communication communities. Thus, the intern’s research project addresses some important issues in system design for target detection and localization. Detection and localization schemes will be developed and […]

This project aims to design a new intelligent recognition system by combining panoramic imaging and retroflexion techniques. Panoramic imaging allows the user to project hemispheric 360º vision onto a 2D detector. The project then intends to couple the panoramic image with the retroflexion image. Retroflexion imaging consists in emitting a laser pulse and observing with […]

Cistel Technology Inc. is a progressive information technology (IT) services company with a long-standing relationship in the high tech sector and the Federal Government. This internship proposal has both a research and a development component. The research component will concentrate on accessing methods under the IEEE 805.15 protocol that will be used in the prototypes […]
