The amount of information generated exceeeds the current available storage. Big Data, the Internet of Things and the increasing popularity of self-tracking gadgets call for new storage solutions to manage and analyze the data. To handle the constant flow of information, we have implemented Eatnu. Eatnu is a storage system designed to handle large data streams, where programmers can specify what ...

The microprocessor industry has reached limitations of sequential processing power due to power-efficiency and heat problems. With the integrated-circuit technology moving forward, chip-multithreading has become the trend, increasing parallel processing power. The shift of focus has resulted in the vast majority of supercomputers having chip-multiprocessors. While the high performance computing ...

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) use machine learning and manual analysis done by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) specialists on SAR images in real time to provide a ship detection service. KSATs current machine learning model has a limited ability to distinguish ships close to each other. For this reason, we aim to employ an end-to-end trainable object detection model, as they can better ...

One of the novel new features of mobile 5G networks is what is commonly known as "Ultra Reliable Low Latency" communication. To achieve the "Low Latency" part, it is necessary to introduce processing and storage capabilities closer to the radio access network, thus introducing Edge data centers. An Edge data center will be capable of hosting third-party applications and a user of these ...

Edge computing is an emerging paradigm within the field of distributed computing, aimed at bringing data processing capabilities closer to the data-generating sources to enable real-time processing and reduce latency. However, the lack of representative data in the literature poses a significant challenge for evaluating the effectiveness of new algorithms and techniques developed for this paradigm. A ...

Hearing loss, and assistive technologies to compensate for the loss, are becoming more and more regular. Hearing aids have improved the quality of life for many suffering from hearing loss but are still insufficient in some social settings. The café problem rises when there are a group of people talking in a relatively noisy environment where one person has hearing aids. Even with modern advancements, ...

Argos is a middleware platform developed at the University of Tromsø. It provides tailored, flexible and extensible middleware support. In this thesis we suggest a new approach to creating user services for Argos by using a rule engine to setup the program flow for components in Argos. The users are provided with a graphical tool where they can set up rules that can trigger an action. The input, ...

This thesis presents Giga-View, a gigapixel image viewer controllable from mobile devices. It's design makes interaction available through a web browser and requires no software installation or high processing power from the device being used. Fulfilling the goal of high throughput and low latency, Giga-View is capable of processing an input stream with the frame rate of 60 frames per second, without ...

\textit{Diabetes} is a disease defined by raised blood glucose levels, and people with the disorder have to adhere to a strict self-management regime to avoid short- and long-term complications. Today the World Health Organization reports that over 420 million people have diabetes, and the condition is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. This thesis presents the design and ...

Enterprise wireless networks are becoming larger and larger, with more and more users and devices connecting to the networks. This requires the infrastructure to be closely monitored and adjusted to ensure an optimum experience for users and their devices. Existing proprietary solutions exist, but are either costly, resource demanding, rigid or may not be able to deliver the functionality that is ...
