New Program Approval Process
May 25, 2017
We are moving away from the paper program approval forms you may have used in previous years. Instead, we will be using a fillable PDF form, available online under the "resources" link forms section, that you should fill in and e-mail to advisor@cs.umanitoba.ca. If you wish to have a face to face meeting please indicate this in your e-mail otherwise your form will simply be dealt with electronically and you will receive an e-mail once this has been done.

There are three big annual national computing conferences in Canada, on artificial intelligence, graphics/hci, and computer vision, and in recent years they have co-located together as AI/GI/CRV. Each conference offers a best paper with a student first author, and this past week at the conference members of our department won two of these (AI and GI). These are:
Patrick Dubois, Volodymyr Dziubak, Andrea Bunt. Tell Me More! Soliciting Reader Contributions to Software Tutorials, Best Student Paper GI-17,

Seminar: Departmental seminar: Eleni Stroulia
When: October 17, 2017 @ 1:00pm
Where: E2-304Title: Smart Condo: IoT for Social Good
The anticipated increase in the world population, people’s desire to live at home for as long as possible and the shortage of health-care professionals make the need to develop technological supports for people with chronic yet manageable conditions, to monitor and take care of their own health. The advancing wave of Internet-of-Things technologies holds immense promise to deliver such supports. In our work in the Smart-Condo project, we have been developing a sensor-based platform for non-intrusively monitoring people at home, analyzing the collected data to extract information about their activities, and generating support recommendations -- for themselves and their care-givers. We have been experimenting with a variety of living-at-home scenarios, and different sensor types and user interfaces. In this presentation, I will review the architecture of our platform, our research methodology, and our findings, and I will point out some interesting challenges for future research.
