Modern society has come to depend significantly on its wireless communication systems. However, the technologies for wireless communication still need to be improved further to satisfy the demands for higher capacity and higher data rates. In vehicular wireless communication systems, one of the key issues is the design of compact antennas while providing wideband performance. […]

Software testing in one of the imporant phases in software development process and has a significant impact on the final product quality. However, the spent cost and time for testing are high, and often increase after several releases. This project aims at test case selection and prioritization at Research in Motion (RIM) Company. The objective […]

This project seeks to simplify the development and management of business processes deployed on a distributed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The target architecture is an enterprise system with distributed services coordinated by application workflows or business processes. Declarative goals, specified in Service Level Agreements (SLA), are used to assist in the development of such applications, […]

Building a mathematical model of how user behaves on a website is a useful method for determining what a user does and does not like. This model allows for information relevant to a user to be presented without having the user go out and find the information by themselves. These types of systems, generally known […]

This project involves working with researchers at the Bloorview Kids Rehab in Toronto to aid them in developing safer and more advanced brain]computer machines for individuals with severe physical limitations. The intern is developing a computer-based visual analytics tool that will help them further interpret the data they are collecting about brain activity. This tool […]

This project encompasses the development of a suite of algorithms for spectrum sensing and awareness, and integration and testing in the partner company’s radio systems. The algorithms concern joint signal detection, modulation classification, and parameter estimation. In this project, the theoretical findings and experimental studies will complement each other, with the target outcome of adding […]

MRF Geosystems Corporation is an experienced Geographical Information System (GIS) firm specializing in GIS-related application development, data conversion and GIS consulting services. This project will be focused on developing an online geospatial data analysis platform which offers clustering function and map visualization with a spatial data clean module. This will be achieved by two main […]

The electromagnetic spectrum between infrared light and microwave radiation, known as the TeraHertz (THz) spectrum, has recently attracted a great deal of interest due to its wide and unigue applications, As readily sources for such a spectrum are not available, several technigues have been developed to realize THz generation, Nonetheless, achieving an efficient, tunable, and […]

Music Information Retrieval is a burgeoning area of industry that assists consumers in retrieving information from increasingly large databases of music. waveDNA is an Ontario-based music software development company focused on building upon its proprietary algorithms for digital music representation and analysis in ways that make unique contributions to this field. The aim of the […]

Language technology-for example, spelling checking-is widely used. A key component of many language technology systems is a computational lexicon-a dictionary-like knowledge source containing a list of words and information associated with each word. Such resources require great human effort to create and are therefore very expensive. However, language is constantly changing (e.g., new words come […]

This research project will support the design of electronic navigational aids for enhancing mobility for individuals with vision impairments. The researchers will work closely with members from the vision-impaired community throughout the project period to understand the contexts where such aids could be helpful to them and to evaluate the usability of relevant components, products […]

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) refer to integrated mechanical & electrical systems in micron scale that are now growing in numbers due to a miniaturization trend. An advanced actuation method proposed for MEMS in University of Toronto and Ryerson University will be applied for an auto-focus mechanism in cell phone cameras. This research will build on work […]
