Due to increasing demands for novel services, advancements in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are seen as an effective solution to complement terrestrial networks (TNs) in under-served areas. However, the high mobility of new users, e.g., autonomous cars, in addition to that of NTN platforms, will cause extreme signal fluctuations. The latter will lead to radio link […]

Graph burning is a mathematical game or process that has applications in financial cyber security, as it can be used to model “dirty money” spreading throughout a network of accounts. Hypergraph burning is a similar process that is played on a more complex network-like structure called a hypergraph. We investigate an alternative rule set for […]

Modern mobile phones have become the dominant photography device in recent years. However, due to form factor constraints both the camera sensor and lens have to remain compact, which in turn has a negative effect on the resulting image quality such as decreased resolution and noise. Image restoration attempts to recover a clean latent image […]

Declarative programming techniques have been used to make programming available to common users through introducing query languages such as SQL and spreadsheet programs such as Excel. The proposed industrial partner, LogicBlox, has developed software that enables highly-complex data analysis through the flexible and familiar form of spreadsheet computing. The main goal of this proposal is […]

This research project aims to prototype and evaluate a computer system supporting the creation of data-driven domain ontologies. The first phase consists in creating a working prototype of a computer application supporting: 1) Preliminary research; 2) Creation of an interactive and visual computer interface allowing the visual concept mapping of a domain, its entities; define […]

Machine-to-machine (M2M) user equipments (UEs), which do not require a direct human interaction for communicating to each other, are predicted to have a large end-user market in the near future with numerous potential applications, such as home automation, patient monitoring, transportation, and smart metering. Currently, machine-type communication (MTC) is in the process of being standardized […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more ubiquitous with each passing day. Our goal in this project is to enhance human-AI interaction by exploring ways in which proxemics can help drive and support the interaction. We want to create more intuitive and user friendly agents that are aware of one’s context and proxemics in […]

the motion relationship between viewers and visualizations can affect readability and usability of data in various application contexts. Our previous research (10.1109/TVCG.2022.3184993) showed that motion factors such as moving speed and movement trajectory impact reading accuracy. Nevertheless, we still do not know how visualizations should be designed in real scenarios such as when both viewers […]

Easy Platter is looking to scale nationally. For which, we need to meet 2 primary objectives: 1) Build a chef onboarding platform that enables chefs across Canada to sign up 2) Optimize the customer journey by creating stickiness on the platform This project is key for Easy Platter as we move from a NS based […]

Nous proposons la mise en œuvre de circuits de traitement optique utilisant des réseaux de sous-longueur d’onde qui est un type spécial de guide d’onde qui permet la manipulation des propriétés optiques résultant en des dispositifs avec des performances sans précédent. Nous utiliserons du nitrure de silicium pour la mise en œuvre car il s’agit […]

Il existe un défi omniprésent dans la mise en œuvre de nouvelles technologies de communication privées : la nécessité de faire confiance à l’appareil. Comment s’assurer qu’un appareil (soi-disant sécurisé) met en œuvre son protocole cryptographique comme prévu ? La communication quantique vise à résoudre ces problèmes en fournissant une communication sécurisée garantie par les […]

Encoding information in quantum states is the new era of communication known as quantum communication. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the building block of quantum communication making a distribution of a secret key between two parties. The quantum states can be two-dimensions (qubit) or d-dimensions (qudit) quantum states defined in different degrees of freedom (e.g., […]
