The objective of this project is to improve long-term planning of Alberta’s electricity system infrastructure in collaboration with an industry sponsor, Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO). The project aims at engaging stakeholders in a regional planning exercise in southern Alberta by a detailed exploration of their perspectives when evaluating energy system alternatives. This was identified […]

L’apprentissage profond, un type d’intelligence artificielle, consomme une quantité phénoménale d’électricité. Les réseaux neuronaux, à la base de cette technologie, sont présentement implémentés sur ordinateurs. Or, il est possible de créer des réseaux de neurones fonctionnant à l’aide de la lumière, des réseaux de neurones photoniques. Cette technologie pourrait permettre de réduire la consommation d’électricité […]

Team collaboration is important for performing image-guided surgery, including laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, training healthcare providers in a team setting is critical for the success of laparoscopic procedures. To improve the quality of any team training program, we need to develop a reliable assessment instrument to measure team performance. The currently available team assessment tools are […]

Les intervenants en situations de crise sont exposés à des environnements « extrêmes » qui poussent fréquemment leurs limites physiques et mentales au maximum de leur capacité. Toutefois, des études scientifiques démontrent qu’une charge de travail trop élevée est associée à une diminution de la performance des individus. Ainsi, ces environnements extrêmes sont propices aux […]

Bloomberg recently reported that theft and embezzlement of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ether, have become an annual USD $200 million business.

Designing a P2P Money Exchange platform application that creates a social network based on mutual trust will help individuals trust each other and participate in deals for Peer-to-Peer money exchange. This idea focuses on eliminating the need to use escrow mechanisms and the complexities of handling extra electronic payment and money transfer transactions and mandatory […]

Approximately 70% of software projects do not achieve their goals. The project team offers Conflux, a productivity tool for software project managers, to monitor their projects’ productivity, health, and quality. Conflux helps the development team to be productive, motivated, and quality-oriented and provides early signs to project management to help them avoid project failure.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that is focused on using numerical methods to solve and analyze practical engineering problems involving fluid flow. The purpose of the proposed research project is to develop novel simulation methods directed at applications in sensitivity analysis and design optimization. Sensitivity and optimization studies are becoming […]
