Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures (ISIS) is a joint program between several Canadian universities. Its work is spread across such disciplines as "civil, mechanical, materials, aerospace, and electrical engineering." The ISIS Web site has detailed information about four main research focuses, including fibre optic sensors, remote monitoring, innovative structures, and structural rehabilitation. Some examples of the organization's projects are also given. Most deal with bridge reinforcement, but some describe work on power plants and containment structures for a nuclear reactor. A biannual newsletter can also be downloaded.
