Music composition and synthesis on mobile devices;
Storytelling engine development
Students interested in games-related projects can contact me.
Dr. Peter K. Rogan
Department of Biochemistry
Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry

1. Implementation of algorithms for development of genomic
probes for human genetic disease diagnosis
2. Resource for in silico splicing mutation analysis
Students interested in these projects could first
see Aija for a more detailed description of the projects, and
then email Dr. Rogan.
Prof. Kamran Sedig

I have a few projects requiring that the students design and
implement a small-scale game to promote problem-solving, visualization, and
planning skills.
Prof. Hanan Lutfiyya

Generally I would be interested in superving 490s in distributed
systems, mobile computing and operating systems, but I do have specific
projects in mind:
Virtualization Technologies for Learning
Context-Aware Applications for a University Campus
Prof. Bob Webber
webber<at>csd.uwo.ca
In general, my interests are in software projects where execution
speed is the primary focus and the task is either cpu-bound,
memory-bound, or disk-bound. I am also interested in projects that
explore the capabilities of existing publically available programs in
the following areas (with associated wikipedia links):
If you have other ideas, feel free to contact me at webber<at>csd.uwo.ca
including 4490 in the subject line.
Dr. Maria Drangova
Imaging Research Laboratories
Robarts Research Institute

My laboratory is developing and validating tools to aid in the use of
medical images during cardiac interventional procedures. One of the
projects, that would be appropriate for a 4th year computer science
student, relates to the registration of three-dimensional computed
tomography images of the heart to previously acquired MRI images.
Registration will be performed based on toolkits available in our
laboratory (ITK and VTK) and will require expansion of software and
optimization for the specific task. A strong understanding of object-
oriented design is required. This project will be performed in
collaboration with Dr. Terry Peters (imaging scientist) and Dr. James
White (cardiologist).
Prof. Stephen Watt

Portability in Pen Computing;
Cloud computing; Computer algebra;
Software component architectures;
Representation of calligraphy;
Canonical labelling of graphs

Graph Isomorphism testing: Generating a completely partitioned GIND matrix in polynomial time.
This project comes from the study of graph isomorphism (a previous CS490z student
worked on a much earlier version of this problem). We have technical write-ups of some of
this for people to read if they are interested in the project. Some information on the
project is included here.
