Major Research Funding annoucement from the University of Waterloo Daily Bulletin (Monday, February 11, 2008): "Provincial officials came to campus Friday morning to announce more than $19 million in funding for “four cutting-edge research projects”, being funded in partnership with industry “to support the province’s top researchers in areas where Ontario can compete and win in the global marketplace. The MPP for Kitchener Centre, John Milloy, and the MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga, Leeanna Pendergast, made the announcement in a lab in Engineering III on behalf of the minister of research and innovation, John Wilkinson. ... . Security and Mobility over the Global Information Transport Platform — Developing security systems for multiple communications networks. Total project cost: $8,731,500; provincial funding: $2,910,500. Lead researcher: Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, electrical and computer engineering. “Waterloo researchers will develop new solutions for distributing massive amounts of information over networks in a way that guarantees security without compromising flexibility and usability. Researchers at UW will join partner researchers at the University of Ottawa, Queen’s University and McMaster University to investigate and develop new technologies and work with industry partners to commercialize their technologies in the marketplace. The result of this project will be made-in-Ontario high-tech security features that can be marketed around the world — boosting the province’s economy while tackling network privacy concerns.” Key private sector partners: Bell Canada, RIM. University partners: McMaster, Queen’s, Ottawa.
