The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

Two Hat Security is a company that develops next generation moderation tools for social networking apps. Since images are of the most important data shared by social networking apps, an important problem for the company is to identify images that are unsafe or inappropriate. In particular, images containing certain objects (e.g. knife, gun, bikini, etc.) […]

Ce projet vise à sélectionner, caractériser et usiner des pièces en aluminium à faible expansion thermique pour des applications spatiales en remplacement des pièces dont la performance et les coûts de fabrication ne sont plus satisfaisants. Différents alliages incluant ceux à base de silicium sont pressentis pour ce projet, mais il y a soit un […]

Pesticide detection in water has become a high priority worldwide, from protecting the population from environmental contamination due to agricultural pesticides, and bio-threats from terrorist activities. An exhaustive characterization of water pollutants requires laboratory-based analyses which are inherently slow and expensive. Thus, regarding the above mentioned pesticide contaminations, developing a real-time and in-situ detection technique […]

This research aims to evaluate mobile live broadcasting as an effective medium for artistic expression, through the use of real time video manipulation tools, like image filtering and visual effects. We will build a research platform to better understand the future of online real-time communications within the creative community of audiovisual artists. We ultimately want […]

The year 2017 marks the 375th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Montreal. The Laboratory of Remote Sensing, Department of Geography, Montreal University, and Esri Canada want to take part in the celebrations by offering to the Montreal community an interactive tool illustrating the historical evolution of the city of Montreal. To develop […]

Cognitive impairments are the most common long-term challenges after traumatic brain injury (TBI). There is very little research on interventions to improve cognitive function after brain injury. The goal of this project is to evaluate whether and how an intensive cognitive intervention program (Arrowsmith program) may stimulate positive changes in the brain. We have already […]

The goal of the project is to reduce energy consumption in business environments using simple behavioural strategies. These strategies involve the use of stickers that clearly show how much energy the organization is aiming to reduce, the relevant actions that people can take to reduce energy consumption, and the progress the organization has made so […]

The intern will be working on enabling real-time navigation products for machine control applications. The real-time aspect of the project will help improve guidance and control systems for applications such as autonomous steering of precision agriculture tractors and combines. The intern will work to reduce the latencies of the navigation solution to the guidance actuation […]

Network virtualization has received a lot of attention, as it represents a promising way to diversify existing networks and ensure the co-existence of heterogeneous network architectures on top of shared substrates. Virtualization of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) improves the system scalability, simplifies software upgrade and eases the implementation of security. There are several challenges that […]

Game analytics is a rapidly growing and increasingly important quantitative element of game development in which player and play data is analyzed to discover actionable information to guide monetization and future development activities. Textual and linguistic analyzes are rarely (if ever) used in practice for game analytics, yet these techniques could provide a wealth of […]
