The newly founded company Oceanbox is creating a novel oceanographic forecasting system to provide oceanography as a service. These services use mathematical models that generate large hydrodynamic data sets as unstructured triangular grids with high-resolution model areas. Oceanbox makes the model results accessible in a web application. New visualizations are needed to accommodate land-masking and ...

The Norwegian labour market is under continuous change because of fast-paced innovation in technology. It is therefore vital for educational institutions curricula to reflect the changing requirements to keep the population hireable and provide employers with a highly adaptable workforce. There are no complete systems that let us analyse and extract this information about the labour market efficiently. ...

We create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. A whole 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years.1 One contribution to this massive bulk of data is Twitter: Twitter users create 500 million tweets a day,2 which fact has greatly impacted social science [24] and journalism [39]. Network analysis is important in social science [6], but with so much data there is a real danger of ...

In large simulations, like predicting the movement of ocean particles, it is common that simulation executions are related when they share one or more inputs. When the number of simulations increases, it becomes harder for users who run the simulations to keep track of all the simulations. Also, more storage spaces are wasted if there are multiple copies of the same input files. This thesis ...

The arctic tundra is observed to collect data to be used for climate research. Data can be collected by cyber-physical computers with sensors. However, the arctic tundra has a limited availability of energy. Consequently, the nodes rely on batteries and sleep most of the time to increase the battery-limited operational lifetime. In addition, only a few nodes can expect to be in reach of a back-haul ...

This thesis aims to study psychological effects and how to represent them digitally within a smart nudging system. A smart nudging system creates personalized digital nudges that are highly relevant to the user's context. How the system presents the nudges and what psychological effects are used is critical to influencing the user towards the nudging goal. The goal of the thesis is to find, implement ...

Scientists and engineers require ever more powerful software and hardware to analyze data and build models. Unfortunately, current solutions to the problem are often hard to use for scientists that are not software engineers. And software engineers often do not have the mathematical background to understand the scientific problem to solve. This thesis describes MORTAL, a new general-purpose ...

Physical inactivity has been identified as a global pandemic, physical inactivity causes multiple health outcomes in different demographic group such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, colon, and breast cancer. A physical inactive person takes less than 5000 steps a day. To try to reduce physical inactivity along individual for healthy lifestyle, this thesis provides personalized digital ...

Parid-GO A Personalised Augmented Reality Game to Reinforce Outdoor Physical Activity for People with Intellectual Disabilities. This project aims to develope a dynamic content solution that are user centric. The rationale is that by allowing the participants to customize and use other themes, colors, etc., the participant will be more engaged and use the application more. Which in turn will increase ...

The domain of sports analysis is a huge field in sports science. Several different computer systems are available for doing analysis, both expensive and less expensive. Some specialize in specific sports such as football or ice hockey, while others are sports agnostic. However, a common property of most of these systems is that they try to give in-depth and detailed analysis of the sport in question. ...
