The project deals with the better indexing of text fields in the database. It explores an idea of on-line maintenance of an inverted index, which is built for the tokens of the text content in the database. The on-line update of such an index is currently considered impractical. We try to overcome this inverted index […]

Head-mounted eyegaze tracking allows experimenters to record the eye movements of a wearer while he interacts with a real situated environment. Analysis of the eye movements however, is difficult since motion of the wearer’s head causes objects to move relative to the head-mounted video camera. The focus of this project is to implement object recognition […]

  Navigation interfaces (such as scrolling, zooming, and panning) are the key components that help users move between different views on a document. The project’s goal is to enhance current user interfaces for collaborative search tasks. Initially, we will use spatial documents (ie, maps) to explore potential enhancements. We will also provide visual features, to […]

  The project seeks to examine the feasibility of recovering a spectrum at high frequencies (such as 20 kHz – 40 kHz) from a signal sampled multiple times at much lower frequencies (such as 3999 Hz-4000 Hz). After this it aims to determine what sort of constraints are required for a digitizer to successfully recover the signal.

  The aim of this project is to experimentally assess and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of cloud computing in relation to data centric enterprise applications requiring real-time user interaction.  This research will consist of two major phases.   In the first phase, the goal is to deploy and evaluate a significant existing enterprise application, i.e. […]

  Testing of in-stream tidal power devices in Minas Passage, NS began November 12, 2009 when the first of three prototype units was installed on the seabed. The Upper Bay of Fundy, including Minas Passage, is recognized as an area of high ecological importance, and is home to a diverse assemblage of fish, which includes […]

    An embedded software system is a software system that is part of a larger system composed of software and hardware elements and that often have to react in real-time to its environment. The cruise control in a car, or the auto-pilot in an aircraft are typical examples of embedded software systems. Embedded software systems are pervasive […]

  The absolute phase is a new mathematical concept that can provide new information about a wireless channel. It holds great promise for extracting new information such as the location of a user, such as a cell phone without the need for GPS, etc. New theoretical work has been published which describes the mathematics of […]

The project is aimed to establish and algorithm and computer software for generation of multiple time series of data which represent processes that are closely correlated and auto-correlated (i.e. data in time step i are correlated to the data in time steps i-1, i-2,i-3, etc.). This project is of significant importance to the company.  It […]

  Allerta is a brand new consumer electronics design firm, focused solely on creating cutting edge mobile accessories that mesh seamlessly with Smartphone’s and a mobile lifestyle. Allerta is currently working on the second generation of its flagship product, inPulse – a wristwatch that connects wirelessly to a Smartphone allowing the user to view important […]

  Recommendation is a critical problem in social networks and social media. In this project, we tackle the problem of recommendation in entrepreneurship social networks through questions and answers. The novelty of the proposed research is on three aspects. First, we use Q&A activities to express users’ interest. Second, we recommend not only single users […]

  While the digitalization of medical information is central goal of governments, such initiatives are often cumbersome and at times inefficient. By understanding the regulatory environment and potential markets, there may be adequate incentive for private companies to offer solutions that would facilitate the creation and distribution of specific medical information. By conducting and environmental […]
