In the near future the way that we encrypt and authenticate information online may not be safe. For this reason, we need to create new tools that will enable secure communication for many coming years. The proposed research is to create such tools from a certain algebraic object called isogenies. These are functions that take […]

The main goal of this project is to develop machine learning and natural language processing approaches to help customers to communicate their preferred brands and/or retailers via Heyday solutions. These approaches will automate answers and help to humanely engage with customers. In order to reach these objectives, some challenges will be tackled such as automatically […]

The emerging edge computing (EC) paradigm promises to deliver superior user experience and enable a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications by bringing storage and computing facilities closer to the end users. Virtualization technologies such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) will allow sellers and buyers to access the open […]

The project is to develop a middleware system for improving drinking water management system. The middleware integrates multiple data sources in addition to the real-time network data, including information of weather from satellite/ radar and water quality of surface water from remote sensing and then analyze them. It’s smart algorithms will predict and prioritizes events […]

As part of this proposal the intern will be working with DME to develop and examine the viability of data-driven point-of-care system for the assessment of suicide risk. DME is a Canadian start-up company in the business of developing cloud-based point-of-care monitoring systems for the management of psychiatric illnesses. DME has developed algorithms to diagnose […]

This research will focus on the design of 5G networks to provide for future wireless services include the use cases of Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and application area use cases such as Smart City, Smart Home/In-building, Augmented Reality, Self-Driving Cars, etc. 5G Technology […]

A risk-based approach to anonymization includes an assessment of the risk that an attack to reveal or uncover personal information will be realized, known as threat modelling, against the risk that an attack on the data will be successful (e.g., a re-identification). We wish to incorporate the provable guarantees of differential privacy into this assessment […]

The objective of this project is to develop techniques and tools that leverage artificial intelligence to automate the process of handling system crashes at Ericsson, one of the largest telecom and software companies in the world, and where the handling of crash reports (CRs) and continuous monitoring of key infrastructures tend to be particularly complex […]

The goal of this project is to develop machine learning and data mining algorithms relying on non-intrusive common sensor data to estimate and predict smart buildings’ occupancy and activities. Efficient feedbacks are automatically supplied to the end user to involve occupants and increase their awareness about energy systems. This consists of generating reports helping the […]

Penetration testing is a key security tactic, where defenders thinks like an attacker to predict the latter’s actions and develop effective defense. However, for large-scale cyber-physical infrastructures like the smart grid, traditional penetration tests on individual devices or networks are insufficient to exhaust all potential exploits or to reveal infrastructure-level vulnerabilities invisible to the local […]

Edge computing is expected to play a transformative role for future AI applications in 5G networks by bringing cloud-style resource provisioning closer to the devices that have the data. Instead of running resource-intensive AI applications at the end devices, we can consolidate their execution at the edge, which brings many benefits, such as eliminating the […]

The proposed Mitacs cluster project aims to apply advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to attack challenging video quality-of-experience (QoE) assessment and quality assurance problems that are critical in real-world large-scale video distribution systems. Six internship students will work closely with the technical staff members at SSIMWAVE INC, a deep-tech startup company based in Waterloo Ontario, […]
