The automation of wastewater treatment plants can lead to decreased energy usage and improved effluent quality. Current technology focuses on instrumentation and displays so that human operators can make decisions on the operating point of the plant, while relying on simple computer feedback controls to guide the plant. This research program aims at developing intelligent […]

Infection causing bacteria often grow as a community called a biofilm, which once formed becomes protected from the outside environment. In the context of a human infection, this means a biofilm is more resistant to both the immune system and external interventions such as antibiotics. For this reason, biofilms are proposed to be the link […]

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ […]

In this research, we propose the design of an efficient automated system which can effectively learn from the patterns of malicious activities, in the form of distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against web servers on the Internet, and subsequently offer potential victims protection against such attacks by banning such requests in advance. A DDoS […]

The intern will implement a comprehensive market validation study for two target markets: currency hedge funds and family offices. The plan will outline the size of the target markets, the competitive environment, the CTS Forex advantage, and the most efficient marketing channels. In addition, the intern will help in the development of two websites: 1. […]

In medicine, imagining-based exams are used to support diagnostics, treatment planning and/or the treatment itself. Considering the number, integration and nature of devices in a multi-surface environment (e.g. smartphones, tablets, multi-touch surfaces and wall displays), this project proposes a system for imaging visualization and manipulation that takes advantages from each device’s capabilities in the environment. […]

In Alberta geothermal resources exist that companies want to exploit for power and direct heat.Currently, there is no licensing and permitting process that allows these companies to exploit the existing geothermal resources. The aim of this project is to explore means through which legislative amendments or new legislation could facilitate and enable a licensing/permitting the […]

The purpose of this research is to develop a solution that uses Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics to Improving the Efficiency in Customer Interactions and Investment Selection.

An existing Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications taking advantage of available geospatial information which can influence currency markets. The novel methodology will be based on building a high-dimensional weighted autocorrelation model between real-time […]

GPS, MEMS sensors and Wi-Fi are three main candidate technologies for pedestrian navigation. GPS cannot provide reliable pedestrian navigation indoors because the GPS signals are degraded in indoor environments. MEMS sensors provide accurate but relative positioning solution for short time periods of standalone usages because of MEMS sensors’ errors characteristics. Wi-Fi can provide absolute location […]

The work to be undertaken by the intern with Rackforce builds on a successful NSERC engage grant to develop a distributed cyberinfrastructure system linking the University of Calgary with the Rackforce data centre in Kelowna. This system will demonstrate reliable leading-edge infrastructure for distributed multi-user collaboration for advanced scientific data processing. The planned work consists […]
