Depuis 2012, Bibliopresto.ca chapeaute le développement et l’accès aux ressources numériques en bibliothèques publiques, et notamment la plateforme Pretnumerique.ca. Les données de prêt numérique de cet organisme ne font cependant pas l’objet d’analyses statistiques spécifiquement adaptées à ce secteur et ne permettent pas de questionner la réalité et la pertinence de la reproduction du modèle […]

The entertainment industry delivers media products around the world to people speaking a large number of distinct languages. To accommodate different languages, the producers typically re-generate the sound stream in different languages in a post-production step, but they leave the same video footage resulting in the desynchronization between the audio and video content, creating an […]

Electric vehicle (EV) is the future of sustainable transportation to phase out the reliance on petroleum fuels. Despite the multibillion-dollar market potential, wide deployment of EV is challenging due to limited energy storage. Regenerative energy generation can be implemented to compensate for the energy consumption in EV to provide the much-needed extra mileage. Apart from […]

Users and businesses have been relying on internet connectivity more than ever before since the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical for modern network services to be well-planned, organized and monitored by system administrators and network service providers to ensure the highest possible availability, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Network traffic characterization and pattern prediction in-advance can […]

Eco-efficiency evaluation enables analyzing the environmental and economic performance […]

Blockchain is a well-known immutable, transparent and anti-counterfeit platform. As such it can be appropriate for submitting certificates for validation and safe-keeping. However, because of its requirements for complex and heavy computations for enhanced security and verification of each submission in the network, in this project, we will first study both public and private Blockchain […]

Several engineering equipment ranging from those used for portable power generation, to medium scale gas turbine aircraft engines, and large scale land-based power generation units burn fuel to produce either electric energy or generate propulsive force. This energy conversion takes place inside a combustion chamber which emits noise and combustion pollutants. The objective of the […]

The student will develop a recommendation system for restaurants, proposing food selections to customers. This system will be based on GNN models to predict a customer’s need based on both user and order data. The data include previous purchases, data of dishes and similarity of users collected from online food orders. In the first phase […]
