Using a multiphysics approach, the intern will construct a model for the topological optimization of two distinct classes of cantilever-type sensors: one often encountered in the general industrial application and the other one customized for the specific needs of a biosensor. Altair Hyperworks will be the main software tool to be used for this particular […]

Janro Imaging Laboratory (JIL) will work with researchers at Concordia and Emily Carr universities to develop 3D motion-tracking based interface tools for drawing and content creation in spatial drawing applications. As a basis for applied design research, researchers will use an alpha version of the “Optical Wand,” a product currently in development at JIL for […]

  Solink Corporation is a video analytic company that transcribes video streams into searchable metadata. Their flagship solution, Searchlight, proactively monitors, identifies and alerts investigators of suspicious activity at ATMs to reduce fraud and improve customer experience. Solink’s current ATM Skimming detection product (Searchlight) analyzes both transaction and video at an ATM to detect suspicious […]

The project is about analyzing the Technology Industry in British Columbia. The study helps predict the British Columbia (BC) technology labour market through quantitative and qualitative analysis of answered questionnaires from technology companies in BC. A report summarizing the findings will be submitted to Cindy Pearson, COO of BCTIA by the end of December. In […]

  Despite the change in usage and application (“Barcode Scanning Hits Some Big Milestones,” 2011), QR codes have kept the initial appearance. Black blocks in a square format still represent QR codes. This project, QR Artist, proposes humanizing these codes by inventing a framework that creates artistic QR codes and provides marketing analysis tools and […]

  The objective of this project is to conduct research on the multi-platform supported Locator device by investigating an easy-to-port and extendible design to migrate a Locator firmware offered by WebTech Wireless Company on alternative operating systems with more advanced features. The locator firmware is currently run on the FreeRTOS operating system, which is known […]

  Providing guidance that is relevant and timely can result in better business outcomes. In this project we will focus on how to provide human computer interaction guidance in a timely, low effort way to novice software designers. The Mitacs intern will be embedded at the Apps Factory where he will provide guidance to a […]

Large community hospitals and teaching hospitals in Ontario operate at congestion levels most of the time. This translates into long wait times for the patients, cancelled procedures, undue stress for the clinical staff, and inefficiency in hospital operations. In order to address the bottlenecks in patient flows, decisions are made by the clinical staff based […]

  Smart Phones are fast becoming ever-present personal assistants – personal assistants which become more useful and productive with the inclusion of Natural Language Processing power. For many users, smart phones have become their go-to device for industry news feeds, checking email, and scheduling their agenda. The sheer quantity of text which is read on […]

  Lack of central control makes the design of distributed software systems a challenging task because of possible unwanted behavior at runtime, commonly known as emergent behavior. In fact many faults are introduced into the system at this stage of the software development life cycle. Therefore discovering and removing design validation of distributed software systems […]

Bringing cloud computing from the Internet domain to Next Generation Networks (NGN) in order to provide Telco cloud services will leverage the use of NGN, reduce costs and create many value-added services. It is therefore becoming critical for world-class carriers, like Bell and Telus, to adopt a cloudbased communications model. However, unlike public Internet clouds, […]
