Increases in data production and growing demands for more computing power leads to the current trend of outsourcing data and computation services to cloud providers. With data breaches and cases of data misuse becoming increasingly common, there is a high demand for secure systems. This, however, conflicts with the current data trust models. A solution to this that is becoming more common is the use ...

The paper describes the development of a prototype application for access to vital weather information from the Northern Atlantic sea region. The application gives meteorologists access to weather observations measured on sea vessels. Today the available information is very limited. On a daily basis, only 4-5 weather observations in the whole arctic sea-region are conducted. It is therefore suggested ...

<p>Distributed version control systems are popular for storing source code, but they are notoriously ill suited for storing large binary files. <p>We report on the results from a set of experiments designed to characterize the behavior of some widely used distributed version control systems with respect to scaling. The experiments measured commit times and repository sizes when storing single files ...

In biology the introduction next generation technology is increasing the amount of data generated rapidly. New sequencing machines are able to produce terabytes of genomic data in days and in later years the cost of storing data has become higher than to produce it. With enormous amounts of data arrives great opportunities, but also new challenges; how should biologists analyze and interpret the ...

Nowadays, most people have a smartphone that can track their everyday activities. Furthermore, a significant number of people wear advanced smartwatches to track several vital biomarkers in addition to activity data. However, it is still unclear how these data can actually be used to improve certain aspects of people’s lives. One of the key challenges is that the collected data is often massive and ...

Locating content in existing video archives is both a time and bandwidth consuming process since users might have to download and manually watch large portions of superfluous videos. In this paper, we present two novel prototypes using an Internet based video composition and streaming system with a keyword-based search interface that collects, converts, analyses, indexes, and ranks video content. ...

Biometric and health related data collected through automated features in smartphones and wearables can provide researchers with valuable information about the population. This thesis explores the possibilities of extracting data from Apple and Samsung wearable devices like watches and smartphones where native built-in support for data extraction and third-party data storage is not available. Doing ...

This thesis describes the research of grading security in private Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, and ultimately the development of “The Socialized.Net Embedded – Cryptography Version” (Tsnecv). Tsnecv is a revision of “The Socialized.Net Embedded” (Tsne) which is the embedded version of Njål Borch’s doctorate “The Socialized.Net”. Tsne is a P2P file sharing application which builds it private P2P ...

The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building is critical to the building’s seismic response. To construct a robust structure, the R factor should be chosen based on the building’s resilience performance. Since no background was provided for the selection of R factors, the study focuses on the right selection of R factors in relation ...
