Design by Contract Approach to Support Software Updates of CPS

Cyber-physical systems (e.g., planes, cars, medical devices) are systems where the software extensively interact with their working environment. The software of these systems is typically made by multiple software components. Effectively managing these software components is challenging since software failures can lead to catastrophic consequences. To ensure safety, engineers need to ensure that hazards are sufficiently mitigated. The goal of this project is to define a design-by-contract approach for CPS designed using Simulink System Composer a widely used tool used to define CPS software. Design-by-contract will enable to define the contract (assumptions and guarantees) of each software component in a rigorous and systematic manner and to use them to reason about the system safety. This project will help University of Toronto, University of Bergamo (and more generally Canada and Italy) to foster their collaboration with industrial partners working in the CPS domain. It help enhancing the longstanding collaboration between Prof. Menghi and Prof. Chechik. It will enable the student to interact with prominent researchers in their field, and publish and present their work at prestigious conferences.

Integration of socio-physiological sensors to estimate team functional state in mobile command and control

Teams in crisis management operate in uncertainty and time pressure conditions, which severely constrain team performance. Systems capable of detecting critical levels of cognitive functioning could help teams to adapt better to the situation they face by allowing an intelligent re-allocation of tasks across agents. Traditionally, adaptive systems are based on the operator behavioral response (such as performance). However, using advanced human sensing tools, we can assess the operator functional state to anticipate human error (i.e., recognize states with high error probabilities), allowing teams to take preventive actions as opposed to reactive actions. This internship aims to support Thales’s efforts in developing a multi-sensor platform for the support of emergency response personnel.

NBBIA – Implementation of strategies to enhance visibility and for the recruitment of new members

The New Brunswick Business Immigrant Association Inc. (NBBIA) was established and registered as a non-profit in 2018 in support of the development, success and retention of entrepreneurial immigrants across NB. They are currently in a foundation growth period to attract new members to our association. They are facing challenges in raising awareness, visibility, and recognition of the association among immigrant entrepreneurs, communities, stakeholders, and partners across New Brunswick. To address this, they are looking for a Membership Development Officer intern who would implement strategies to increase the organization’s visibility and recruit new members to join NBBIA. This project will help the association by increasing its membership by enhancing their online presence (using Search Engine Optimization technique) and website management.

Organizational Life Cycle Assessment of Sheridan Nurseries Farms and Greenhouses

There is very little known about the environmental impacts associated with the nursery sector globally. Therefore, the objective of the project is to quantify the environmental impacts, with a specific focus on global warming potential (herein referred to carbon footprint) associated with the operations of Sheridan Nurseries. We will use life cycle assessment (LCA), used extensively for quantifying the environmental impacts of a product along its supply chain. Recently the LCA method has been developed to characterize the environmental impacts of an entire organization (all its activities and products), an approach known as organizational LCA (O-LCA). The specific research question for this study is: What approaches and methodologies are most appropriate for an O-LCA of a nursery in growing land-based products with a variety of technologies, systems and operating conditions (e.g. greenhouse types, irrigation, fertilization, pest management, temperature and humidity). The objectives of this project are to develop and apply O-LCA to: 1) evaluate carbon footprint of Sheridan Nurseries operations and identify which aspects of the nursery contribute to the highest contribution of carbon footprint; and 2) use scenario analysis to evaluate alternative technologies and products to reduce the carbon footprint of Sheridan Nurseries.

Coal Derived Humic Products As Novel Adsorbents For Water Remediation

WestMET Group Canada operates four coal mines in Alberta. Humalite, naturally occurring from organic matter decomposition, is produced in large quantities during mining. Humic products from coal wastes may be more suitable than other sources due to high humic content, rawmaterial availability, low cost, application ease, and reduced coal waste accumulation and environmental impact. Westmoreland supported research demonstrated its humalite potential for agriculture. Water and soil remediation provide a growing market for humic products. Returning disturbed land and water to productive use often requires contaminant removal. Metals of concern to our water supply and aquatic ecosystems are arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium and zinc. Thesemetals are toxic, persistent, and/or difficult to remove. Coal derived humic products are not well researched; others are metal remediators due to high exchangeable functional groups and porous structures. Factors influencing removal efficiencies include metal concentration, application rate, contact time and presence of other elements. Knowledge gaps must be addressed to realize the full potential and widespread application of these products. This research will facilitate development of a value added product by coal mines, reuse of onsite materials, a proven water treatment, and income from marketing to other industries.

Beyond Elections: what can Brazil tell us about democracy?

Representation and accountability are essential for the proper functioning of democracy. Through a close examination of Brazil since the 1990’s, this project investigates the conditions that make a country move toward stronger representation and accountability. Like many Latin American countries, Brazil was neither an institutionalized nor a representative democracy in the 1990s. Although the president was held accountable at the ballot box, power was concentrated in the office of the executive branch. Since then, however, Brazil has developed stronger accountability and institutionalization. Three conditions will be examined: (a) a presidential impeachment, (b) the creation of institutional agencies to prevent corruption, and (c) the stabilization of the economy. The analysis will rely on interviews with Brazilian legislators, as well as on the examination of archival and media material from the 1990s to the present moment. This research will shed light on the mechanisms that can lead toward representation and accountability in democracy.
