Individuals (donors) wishing to donate funds to non-profit and/or charitable organizations want to know how the organizations operate and how effectively their donations are used. Dexterity has developed an online service called Place2Give which aims to answer those questions. The research project aims to employ social network analysis and data mining to enhance the data […]

The proposed project will transform a trading card game into a locative mobile gaming platform with the goal of creating an interactive narrative experience. The game itself will be creating an on-going history of gameplay and publishing it on the Internet. In essence, players of the game are dynamically being written into the mythology of […]

The goal of this research project is to answer the following two highly-coupled questions concerning essentially all online merchants: (1) which items in my current inventory are highly relevant and should be sold or recommended together? and (2) what new merchandise should be put into my current online store? The key to answering the above […]

This project is intended to investigate and address some of the challenges in the implementation of high quality factor and compact passive components and structures and their application in implementation of active circuit blocks in integrated circuit silicon technology at millimeter wave range of frequency. Advanced deep sub-micron silicon technologies such as SiGe and CMOS […]

Information visualization is gaining importance for analyzing large and complex datasets. There is evidence that user’s performance and satisfaction in working with visualizations can be influenced by cognitive or personality traits. Thus, researches have started investigating how information visualization tools could be made more effective and usable by enabling them to adapt in real-time to […]

The research involved in this internship focuses on the performance and integrity of HTML5. In terms of performance, the intern will design and implement a set of tests that will be used to analyze the performance of HTML5 applications. These tests will focus on measuring the computational performance, network performance, as well as rendering performance […]

Creating computer generated animations and visual effects (VFX) of fluids is a challenging task. The goal of this project is to design novel approaches that ease the creation of fluid simulations for VFX. Four main challenges will be tackled: the simulation of viscous fluids, the gain in geometric details of free surface fluids, the texturing […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste à investiguer et développer le contenu pédagogique nécessaire pour un logiciel de simulation et à valider l’outil auprès d’étudiantes infirmières au baccalauréat. À part les mannequins de haute fidélité utilisés dans certaines écoles infirmières, il n’existe pas à notre connaissance d’outil techno-pédagogique permettant de pratiquer l’évaluation clinique et la documentation […]

Randomly created question and solution problem sets will frequently include scaled images that are generated with a series of variables. These figures contain labels for such things as dimensions, coordinates, angles, sub-titles and vertex names. When images are created manually, labels are placed in a manner which avoids them from obscuring other labels or the […]

Reducing energy consumption is one of many ways to respond to our urgent global need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To do so, it is important to identify the most effective energy saving strategies and communicate them to energy consumers. Pulse Energy is a company that works to do just that and is always […]

Luxmux sensors will monitor steam quality and water quality for in-situ Thermally Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery. In Canada, 2 billions of kilograms of steam are produced per year for heavy oil recovery and this amount is expected to double in the next ten years. Each year, heavy oil producers spend $2.3 billions on natural gas […]

The cellular network nowadays faces an uphill battle against the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. Deploying low power radio base stations covering small cells within the current cellular coverage area is a promising approach to significantly boost the network capacity, provide better coverage, and reduce network congestion. Since it is recognized that backhauling the […]
