The overall objective of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)1 is two-fold: To contribute to the protection of privacy and personal data and to promote the free flow of personal data within the protected area2 through uniform regulations and homogenized interpretations of those regulations.<p> <p>If a controller or processor in the protected area (the exporter) transfers personal data ...

The duration of video playlists, might be a problem when watching on mobile devices, while on the go. We are exploring the problem of how to reduce the size of a video playlist, while maintain the important parts of the videoclips in the playlist. We have designed algorithms that automatically can cut down a playlist by cutting the duration of clips or sometimes even removing clips. We have shown ...

Distributed systems are becoming harder to manage, in part because the uses we put to distributed systems are rapidly changing. Hence, the software used to manage a distributed system needs to be flexible enough to accommodate these new uses. It also has to be secure enough to not allow unauthorized changes to be made to the system. We present a library and a kernel that supports the management ...

<i>Background</i>: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition of blood glucose metabolic disorder caused by a lack of insulin secretion from pancreas cells. In people with type 1 diabetes, hyperglycemia often occurs upon infection incidences. Despite the fact that patients increasingly gather data about themselves, there are no solid findings that uncover the effect of infection incidences on key ...

Medical consultations for chronic diseases form an arena to provide information from health personnel to patients. This information is necessary for patients to understand how to deal with the possible lifelong symptoms and needed self-management activities. The amount of patient-generated health data is increasing. Today’s patients gather an increasing amount of personalised health-related information. ...

<p>In Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) such as Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN), disseminating data is crucial. Under energy constraints with limited communications capabilities, performing data dissemination is challenging. In such contexts, common data dissemination methods cannot be used. Nodes must rely on device-to-device communications policies to mitigate the impact of communications on the nodes ...

Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are distributed data types which ensure Strong Eventual Consistency (SEL), and also has properties such as commutativity and idempotence. There are many variations of CRDTs, and the ones we will study are state-based delta CRDTs. State-based CRDTs is a variation where the CRDT instances synchronize by sending their state to each other. An improvement to ...

This thesis describes a longitudinal study of Bitcoin, the perhaps most popular blockchain based system today. Public blockchains have emerged as a plausible messaging substrate for applications that require highly reliable communication. However, sending messages over existing blockchains can be cumbersome and costly as miners require payment to establish consensus on the sequence of messages, ...

The suspension system is of paramount importance in any automobile. Thanks to the suspension system, every journey benefits from pleasant rides, stable driving and precise handling. However, the suspension system is prone to faults that can significantly impact the driving quality of the vehicle. This makes it essential to find and diagnose any faults in the suspension system and rectify them ...
