The intent of this project is to address the high-speed electronic portion of a silicon photonic transceiver solution that will explore new and innovative metro reach terabit optical modems. In total there are five projects that combine to create the solution. These five project areas are silicon photonic design, high-speed electronic design, modelling, packaging and […]

Canadian math scores are in decline. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of numerical proficiency for outcomes such as health, employability and financial stability. Therefore, the effectiveness of a child’s math education is key to future success. It is of utmost importance, then, to identify effective math education programs. The proposed project will evaluate JUMP […]

Recently, machine learning has been used in every possible field to leverage its amazing power. In this project we employ and advance machine learning algorithms for analysis of networks log data due to extraction of informative features. These data, which are recorded every millisecond, are usually high dimensional and imbalanced where no class label is […]

Edge computing is expected to play a transformative role for future AI applications in 5G networks by bringing cloud-style resource provisioning closer to the devices that have the data. Instead of running resource-intensive AI applications at the end devices, we can consolidate their execution at the edge, which brings many benefits, such as eliminating the […]

The Centre for Operations Excellence Industry Projects 2019 consists of seven sub-projects sponsored by five different industry partners. Each sub-project represents an important challenge for its sponsor. These sub-projects include Extracting data from unstructured text of NOTAMs to assess relevance (Boeing 1), Developing a fix effectiveness engine to perform data-driven predictive maintenance (Boeing 2), Initial […]

Our society depends greatly on software systems in many of its critical activities including telecommunications, which is an industry sector for which Ericsson has made numerous contributions. These systems, however, have to be maintained and upgraded. The cost and the amount of effort dedicate to maintenance is often high due to the intrinsic complexity of […]

The web browser is arguably the most security-critical component in our information infrastructure. Banking, social networking, shopping, navigation, and card payments – almost any activity you can imagine now takes place within a browser window. HTML5 is a potential candidate for changing our experience on the web and its sale on devices is forecasted to […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has grown rapidly in recent years as the result of faster computers and better algorithms. AI models can be trained to automate the decision process and provide results. However, if the model is not properly or sufficiently trained, the outcome will likely be unpredictable and inaccurate. Besides, training data is not […]

The proposed MITACS cluster project aims to apply advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to attack challenging video quality-of-experience (QoE) assessment and quality assurance problems that are critical in real-world large-scale video distribution systems. Six internship students will work closely with the technical staff members at SSIMWAVE INC, a deep-tech startup company based in Waterloo Ontario, […]

Traditionally a Service Function Chain (SFC) consists of a set of dedicated network service boxes such as firewall, load balancers, and application delivery controllers that are concatenated together to support a specific service. With a new service, new devices must be installed and interconnected in certain order. This can be a very complex, time-consuming, and […]
