The rapid propagation of Internet into nearly every aspect of our daily life together with the increase in volume and sophistication of network attacks puts a special emphasis on the security of the network systems. Currently, security modeling and simulation is one of the widely acknowledged methods for network security evaluation. However, in spite of […]

Given a landscape of computer software that is made up of very few platforms and operating system types, attacks on software can often come in the form of comparing differences between instances or revisions of software. Diversifying software is an effective technique to mitigate these kinds of attacks. Software diversification is a means to generate […]

Integration is a core IT operation, and is aided by a number of available best]practice techniques for integration (integration patterns). However the application of these patterns has little to no automated support. They are applied by consultants on a per-customer basis, making it an expensive and time consuming task. A computer science student from the […]

The project will help eBusiness service providers to react faster and more economically to changing demands on their IT services. The goal is to develop automated techniques to utilize off-site computing resources that are offered on the Internet (so-called cloud computing resources), whenever there is a particularly high demand on the company internal computing infrastructure. […]

This project investigates the use of adaptive sensor web systems in supporting a geotechnical sensor called the ShapeAccelArray. ShapeAccelArrays measure the movement of earth by placing a long (up to 100m long) thin (27mm diameter) tube containing special micromechanical gravity sensors inside a drilled hole in the earth. These holes are typically in earthen slopes […]

The project is intended to develop, implement and evaluate a power management solution applicable to data centres. The solution must not require installation of custom software components onto the individual servers. This constraint goes against current solutions which install bespoke software on the servers for the power management solution to function effectively. The solution will […]

The project involves applying a conceptual modeling method called R2M, Role and Request Modeling. The innovative method, and its supporting software (R2M]ST), was developed at the University of British Columbia. R2M assists business analysts to accurately capture organizational roles, interactions, services and IT resources as described by business process owners and abstract the information that […]

High resolution, large area displays are currently realized by tiling multiple projectors. Seamless transition between adjacent projecting areas is achieved by electronics blending, which is unable to correct artifacts in the transition regions especially for dark scenes. We propose a feasibility study of using optical blending techniques as potential solutions to the above problem. We […]

In broadband communication systems, one of the key issues is the design of a compact antenna while providing wideband characteristic over the whole operating band. This project focuses on novel antenna designs with appealing features of very wide bandwidth or multi-band performance, simple structure, omnidirectional radiation pattern and ease of fabrication. The objective of this […]

The objective of the proposed research is the development of a new type of industrial robots that are capable of safely interacting with humans. These new robots are expected to transform industrial automation by providing a robotic platform that allows integration of man and machine in a safe and functional manner. Our main challenges are […]

In this work, a real-time feasible Multiple Hypothesis Tracker will be developed for multiple targets tracking. A computationally feasible approximated version of MHT will be compared against the robabilistic Data Association (PDA) based Tracker as well as multi-frame assignment based multitarget tracker. Intensive testing will also be performed in order to determine the performance, complexity, […]

In the new technological era, an immense volume of data is generated every moment from a variety of sources that need to be filtered and stored securely. Database administrators (DBA) are facing increasing pressure to ensure higher performance and reliability for database management systems (DBMS). A new generation of management tools and service-based interfaces are […]
