Projects

The ARCsoft team participates in a number of projects in a variety of capacities for researchers in a variety of disciplines.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss a potential collaboration.

Borders in Globalization (BiG)

Ongoing for Borders In Globalization Lab

The BiG Lab project migrates existing border studies research data to a robust database system and creates a web portal to make this research accessible to fellow researchers and the public. The BiG Dyads database brings together six themes of the Borders in Globalization project, allowing researchers to structure current data, identify trends, and formulate new research questions in comparative border studies.

RoadCalc

Ongoing for University of Victoria - Civil Engineering

The RoadCalc project provides civil engineers with a web-based tool to calculate base course thickness for road design. The calculator supports two calculation methods: the Grioud-Han Method and the Modified AASHTO 1993 Method for geosynthetic-stabilized roads, helping engineers determine appropriate construction parameters based on a multitude of factors.

GLOBE

April 2022 to April 2023 for Business

The GLOBE Project is a multinational collaboration spanning multiple institutions surveying cultural, leadership and trust norms and practices in over 150 countries.

HSSCommons

Ongoing for Electronic Textual Cultures Lab

The Canadian HSS Commons aims to be a comprehensive resource for research, education, and collaboration. Members can share, access, develop, re-purpose, and preserve scholarly data and resources through an online repository containing reasearch papers, CV’s, and other data. The cited mission of the HSS Commons is to connect and support the work of Humanities and Social Sciences researchers across Canada.

STRAP

Ongoing

The Simplified Teaching and Research Application Platform (STRAP) project aims to provide common components for web-based research applications so that researchers are able to concentrate on developing their research software, lowering the barrier to deliver data and analysis portals while leveraging enterprise-grade computing and storage infrastructure, identity providers, database services, and other important supporting components.

ZooDB

August 2022 to April 2023 for Anthropology

The ZooDB project (this is the working title) presents decades of bone count data from zooarchaeological surveys at various sites around British Columbia. The number and species of bones identified at these digs can help discover and illustrate the lives and habits of humans, migratory patterns, and changing topography.
