ISIS Canada (Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures) is a Federally Funded Network of Centers of Excellence dedicated to civil engineering research with a focus on fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) and integrated fibre optic sensing (FOS) technologies. Over the next eight years, ISIS Canada intends to significantly change the design and construction of civil engineering structures throughout the world. For changes in design and construction to be accepted, it is mandatory that the innovative structures be monitored. In the process, ISIS will strive to bring about widespread use of new technologies for infrastructure projects.
