• BacklinkDB: A Purpose-Built Backlink Database Management System 

      Jørgensen, Marius Løvold (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-02-15)
      In order to compile a list of all the backlinks for a given webpage, we need knowledge about all the outgoing links on the web. Traversing the web and storing all the backlink data in a database allows us to efficiently retrieve the list of backlinks for a web page on demand. However, the web consists of billions of backlinks which translates to terabytes of data. As the web is continuously evolving, ...
    • Beyond the hospital walls - Extramural mobile communication with CallMeSmart 

      Hanssen, Bård Johan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-06-01)
      Physicians, nurses and other people who work at hospitals and in the healthcare sector often move around a lot. As they also frequently need to contact each other, mobile communication devices like pagers and wireless phones are important tools for letting them maintain contact. This can lead to problems as personnel are constantly interrupted during their work because coworkers don't know whether ...

    • Collecting and distributing sensor data using the Argos middleware platform 

      Mortensen, Mats (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06-15)
      Applications that adapt to environmental and situational changes are difficult to build because computers cannot capture, represent or process context information as easily as human beings. Nevertheless, context information is very valuable because it allows applications to be made more user-friendly, flexible, and adaptable. This realization has spawned a multitude of research efforts to simplify ...
    • Collecting relevant images context information 

      Jakobsen, Børge (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-01-08)
      Digital photographing has become more and more popular as cameras and mobile phones get more advanced and have newer technology embedded. Manually searching in these growing image collections is problematic because of missing context information related to the image itself. If related context information could be added as an automated process, it could help the user view and locate images and ...
    • COMBUSTI/O. Abstractions facilitating parallel execution of programs implementing common I/O patterns in a pipelined fashion as workflows in Spark 

      Fagerli, Jarl (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-31)
      In light of recent years’ exploding data generation in life sciences, increasing downstream analysis capabilities is paramount to address the asymmetry of innovation in data creation contra processing capacities. Many contemporaneously used tools are sequential programs, ofttimes including convoluted dependencies leading to workflows crashing due to misconfiguration, detrimental to both development ...

    • Correctness Criteria for Function-Based Reclassifiers: A Language Based Approach 

      Hansen, Steinar Brenna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-06-01)
      An emerging problem in systems security is controlling how a program uses the data it has access to. Information Flow Control (ifc) propagates restrictions on data by following the flow of information, for example if a secret value flows to a public value, that value should be considered secret as well. A common problem in ifc is reclassification of data, for instance to explicitly make data ...
    • Creating a better play store for cancer apps by using the meta data. Is the metadata available enough to improve app finding for apps related to cancer? 

      Johansen, Håvard Hemmingsen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-12-15)
      The current app store is minimalistic and gives a minimum of functionality, there are in principle two options, a list of recommended apps and the search function. Where the search function is as good as the user is able to come up with search words. The question then is; is it possible to create a third party app that works as an overlay and give a more useful result. In order to make the problem ...

To accomplish this, the research methodology encompasses qualitative research alongside ...
    • Design and implementation of a prototype for capturing immediate user experiences 

      Ekvang, Espen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06-01)
      Everywhere we go we are overwhelmed with impressions and experiences making our day. Research has proven these to change over time, thus psychologists and experimenters in surveys are interested in what a person actually experienced at a particular point in time, referred to as immediate experience. Whether it was as a reaction to some event or just at specific times during the day, is determined ...

    • Detecting events in videos using semantic analytics of subtitles 

      Leer, Erik Bræck (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06)
      Recently, television broadcasters such as the NRK and TV2 channels, have begun offering live internet television and movie archive along with their regular schedule, much like the known video archives such as Youtube and Vimeo. The amount of all television offered reduces the ability of the user to get an overview of the programs that are available at any given time, making the user will probably ...
    • Developing a Local-First Application with Automerge 

      Økland, Stian (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-31)
      In modern time, cloud services have been the go-to approach to store information and documents, and cloud makes documents accessible for users and make it easier to manage items. Cloud is an excellent option to have when data need to be available, but what if collaboration is only needed a few times a week? Once a month? Or unstable connection leading to disconnection to the network? A solution is ...
