With COVID-19 preventing hockey fans from watching games in person this year, the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, Rogers Communications, and Sportsnet are seeking new ways to enhance the experience of watching hockey from home. They recently partnered to host the , a virtual hackathon that challenged À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ students to design applications using 5G technology to deepen and enrich fan engagement.

Partial network partitions are a peculiar type of network fault that disrupts communication between some but not all nodes in a computer cluster. And for what has , partial network partitions have not been studied comprehensively by computer scientists or network administrators.

Cheriton School of Computer Science Professors and have received a prestigious at , the 61st Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science. FOCS and its counterpart — the Symposium on Theory of Computing — are the top international meetings in theoretical computer science.

The main difference between current wireless networks and 5G networks comes down to two words — speed and latency.

5G networks are expected to be up to 100 times faster than current networks. And at that speed, 5G drastically cuts latency when connecting to the network, the lag between instructing a computer to perform a task and its execution. One thing we know with certainty — by delivering mountains of data at warp speed wirelessly, the impact of 5G will be enormous and it will be felt across all sectors of society.

Fascinating research that lies between neuroscience and artificial intelligence

Artificial neural networks have come to dominate the field of artificial intelligence. From self-driving cars to devices that recognize handwriting to interactive chatbots to astonishingly accurate online translators, artificial neural networks lie at the core of a staggering array recent AI developments.
