Acoustic comfort in all types of buildings is essential to our daily life and work. Mass timber buildings provide us the solution to construct green buildings with much less carbon footprints compared with concrete and steel buildings. This project will investigate the sound insulation performance of an innovative mass timber floor system through experimental testing. […]

The objective of this project is to explore the uses of Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that superimposes computer-generated animations, on a mobile user’s view of the real world, in the context of children’s gaming applications. These applications will allow children to experience a game as being directly tied to reality. Specifically, using for example […]

The proposed consultancy services are going to conduct research related to the introduction of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) tools in a low-income African country (based on the Rwandan case study). Quantifying the effect of installing enforcement cameras on the number of damages, injuries, fatality collisions, and traffic offenses like speeding, crossing red lights, and talking […]

Le présent projet appartient au domaine de la représentation des connaissances et constitue un premier pas vers le développement d’outils informatiques en support au développement de dossiers de sécurité et d’audits de conformité reliés à la sécurité des TI. Il porte plus particulièrement sur la représentation formelle d’interprétations de requis de conformité reliés à la […]

This project proposal is to create an AI-based musical pitch and chord detection system suitable for deployment on a hardware device. Most of the research in this area is conducted on computer-based systems with large amounts of memory and computational power. Our goal is to develop new state of the art methods for doing this […]

Le projet vise à développer un modèle dynamique paramétrique servant à simuler la circulation routière de façon réaliste. Le rendu final s’apparenterait à une prise de vue aérienne de la circulation routière. Celle simulation pourra etre alimentée en temps réel par des donnees paramétriques (ex. : vitesse, densité, type de véhicule, mouvements) obtenues par l’analyse […]

Blockchain technology is, by nature, transparent and decentralized. However, transparency can sometimes be a direct threat to the system’s decentralization when most of the profitable transactions get stolen by several high-power entities. This de-incentivizes new users from using the system and renders the whole system useless. In this project, we aim to guard decentralization against […]

It is clear that Cannabis has therapeutic activity. The evidence comes from a long history of use for managing disease symptoms including pain, inflammation and anxiety. However, there is a paucity of scientifically rigorous research exploring the specific activity of Cannabinoids in the body under both normal and disease states. With the legalization of Cannabis […]

L’approvisionnement en biomasse est un aspect crucial de la production de biocarburants de première et éventuellement de seconde génération. La disponibilité de la matière première, pour l’industrie des biocarburants de première génération, est régie par le marché et ainsi le maïs par exemple génère des ventes jusqu’à 2000 $ par hectare de terres pour les […]

BI Expertise is developing a solution that leverages artificial intelligence technologies to improve organ donation. Due to the devolution of powers in Canada, organ donation is managed at the provincial level. In addition, information systems for organ donation are heterogenous between provinces. There is hence relatively little cooperation currently between provinces for interprovincial organ donation. […]

Le projet vise à élaborer un ou plusieurs modèles d’estimation de projets logiciel en construisant un référentiel de l’historique de productivité des projets récents. Il s’agit d’abord d’appliquer la norme ISO 19761 pour mesurer la taille d’environ 24 projets et de comparer cette taille avec l’effort réel de ces projets. Ensuite, il faut analyser les […]
