Welcome message from IEEE Canada President 

It is a pleasure to welcome all attendees to the 2011 

Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer 

Engineering (CCECE) being held in the scenic 

location of Niagara Falls, Ontario. CCECE is the 

flagship conference of IEEE Canada (IEEE Region 

7) and is held under its sponsorship. The origins of 

CCECE can be traced back to 1988 when the first 

conference was held in Vancouver. It has been held 

annually since then in various parts of Canada with 

the 2011 CCECE being the twenty fourth in the 

series. 

The objectives of starting this conference were to 

foster interaction and networking among the 

electrical and computer engineering R&D 

community within Canada. Its continued success 

has now led to a significant component of the 

presentations and attendees coming from all parts 

of the world. However, the original objectives of the conference have not changed. 

This is quite evident from the program that includes variety of plenary talks on 

topics of current interest by leaders in their own technical areas from the industry 

and academia. 

The Technical Program Committee of CCECE has done a very good job with its 

Call for Papers, review of papers and putting together an excellent technical 

program that will be interesting and relevant to all attendees. Original technical 

papers and tutorials by experts on state-of-the-art topics cover the entire spectrum of 

electrical and computer engineering. The Technical Program Committee works hard 

to ensure that the presentations at the conference meet a high technical standard. 

One important part of CCECE is the Awards Ceremony where IEEE Canada 

recognizes the achievements and special contributions of its members. Attending the 

awards ceremony will make you aware of the great work being done within Canada 

and give you the opportunity to congratulate the winners. The organization of 2011 

CCECE is a joint effort between all six Sections of the Central Canada Area of IEEE 

Canada. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Central Canada 

Area and all six Sections for coming together in this joint effort, and also members 

of the Local Organizing Committee for their efforts in organizing the conference. I 

would also like to thank the plenary speakers, tutorial presenters and all authors who 

submitted their work for presentation at 2011 CCECE as without their contributions 

there will be no CCECE. Niagara Falls is known around the world for its beauty. I 

welcome all attendees to Niagara Falls and hope that you all will have a wonderful 

time both at the conference and in exploring Niagara Falls, also known as the 

honeymoon capital.

Plenary 1: 

“Canada’s Transportation Sector and Collaborative 

Automotive Research & Education in Canada” 

Date: Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:15am in Oakes Ballroom 

Presented by Prof. Peter R. Frise, Scientific Director and 

CEO – AUTO21 Network of Centers of Excellence and 

Professor of Automotive Engineering and Executive Director 

of Automotive Research & Studies at the University of 

Windsor 

Abstract: The automotive industry is Canada’s largest single 

business sector providing high value employment to over 

400,000 people across the country including over 135,000 

direct jobs mainly in Ontario and Quebec. In addition, this 

$110B business provides nearly a quarter of Ontario’s trade and 

is the largest source of exports in our economy as well as being 

a key component of Canada’s transportation sector. 

Automotive manufacturing is one of the largest consumers of 

materials in our economy and present and future automobiles 

are extremely high technology articles which represent one of 

the largest purchases for most Canadians. The North American 

automotive sector is presently under significant competitive 

pressures and so we must innovate to continue to provide these 

benefits to Canada. The presentation will describe the present 

status of automotive-related research globally and in Canada 

and will illustrate with examples in vehicle safety, advanced 

materials and manufacturing and cleaner power trains and will 

highlight the opportunities for electrical and electronics 

engineers in the future automobile. 


Speaker’s Biography: For many years, Peter R. Frise, Ph.D., 

P.Eng., FCAE, has selflessly used his expertise as an engineering 

educator and researcher to serve PEO’s governance and the country’s 

future engineers. He served on PEO Council as Lieutenant Governor 

Appointee for two three-year terms and one year-long term, 

beginning in 1997. For the past 11 years he has also played a strong 

role on the Complaints Committee, where he has provided the 

benefit of his background in engineering practice and governance as 

well as his specialty in mechanical engineering. He also chaired 

PEO’s Fundamental Review Implementation Task Group charged 

with investigating emerging areas and multidisciplinary groups in the

Engineers, seven universities (McMaster University, Queen’s 

University, Ryerson University, University of Toronto, 

University of Waterloo, University of Western Ontario and 

University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)) have 

resolved to create the “Power Engineering Education 

Consortium (PEEC)”. In partnership with these universities are 

key representatives from industry and labor in the electricity 

sector and beyond: the Canadian District Energy Association, 

CANDU Owners’ Group, Electricity Distributors’ Association, 

Hydro One Networks (Hydro One), Ontario Power Authority 

(OPA), Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Power Workers’ 

Union, and the Society of Energy Professionals. PEEC aspires 

to increase the number of highly qualified personnel at the 

Bachelor and Graduate levels in electric Power Engineering in 

Ontario and thereby provide needed talent for Ontario’s 

electricity sector. The presentation will provide an overview of 

the gap between the supply and demand of electric power 

engineers for Ontario. The presentation will also describe the 

PEEC partnership and how it aims to address this gap. 


Speaker’s Biography: Richard J.Marceau obtained his 

B.Eng. from McGill University in December 1977. In January

Technical Program Chairs' Overview 

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee (TPC), we would like to welcome the 

delegates and their guests to the 24th annual Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer 

Engineering (CCECE). 

In a sustained effort to create the best forum for the Canadian ECE community, the 

CCECE 2011 inherited from previous years` the vigorous review process for all its technical 

track submissions. The conference consists of a symposium structure. Each of the seven 

symposia provides a technical focus for papers in related fields. Significant energy has been 

devoted to a thorough and diligent review process by experts in matching technical areas, 

averaging 2.6 reviews per article. We hope this structure will continue to provide a sense of 

community for the various research areas within the conference as a whole. 

CCECE 2011 drew 434 full-paper submissions from 35 different countries around the 

world. The submissions were sent to the members of the TPC and to the over 100 additional 

reviewers for review. The chairs would like to thank the symposium chairs, TPC members and 

the reviewers for their hard work and dedication. Time and space limitations did not allow us to 

include many fine technical submissions to the program. The CCECE 2011 Technical Program 

includes 287 oral and 48 poster presentations, totalling an acceptance rate of 77%. 

Accepted papers can be broken down among the seven symposia as follows: 

Biomedical and Health Informatics (16), Circuits, Devices & Systems (48), Communications 

& Networks (63), Computer Systems & Applications (37), Control & Robotics (25), 

Engineered and Natural Complex Systems (11), Power Electronics and Systems (72) Signal & 

Multimedia Processing (40), all to be presented in oral sessions. 6 parallel oral sessions span 

the morning, afternoon and evening slots, with about five or more presentations in each 

session. The oral sessions follow the symposium structure where each symposium has a 

designated room where possible. The poster session coincidences with the job fair and 

sponsorship exhibits to maximize interaction between different sectors of the Canadian 

engineer community. 

Workshops are an integral part of CCECE and Xavier Fernando, the Tutorials and 

Workshops Chair, has prepared an excellent program for CCECE 2011. Six tutorials have been 

selected for presentation on Sunday, May 8, 2011. Three workshops have been organized to 

take place on Sunday, May 8, 2011, and Monday, May 9, 2011. 

Finally, we would like to express our deep appreciation for the support received from 

Wai Tung Ng, the CCECE 2011 Conference Chair, the IEEE Canada Conference Advisory 

Committee (CONAC), and IEEE Canada. 

We look forward to welcoming you in the Niagara Falls. We hope that you will enjoy 

the conference and find the Technical Program exciting.
