Sphero NAV - Robotic Navigation and Control Platform
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-06-01)
This thesis presents Sphero NAV, a camera based navigation and control platform for the robotic ball Orbotix Sphero. Sphero NAV is a Python library that serves as a base for developing new Sphero applications. The library allows for communication and control of one or multiple Sphero devices using Sphero’s rich API and functionality. Sphero NAV implements a tracker system that uses image based ...
Implementing and optimizing a Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication with UPC
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016)
Programmability and performance-per-watt are the major challenges
of the race to Exascale. In this study we focus on Partitioned Global
Address Space (PGAS) languages, using UPC as a particular example. This
category of parallel languages provides ease of programming as a strong advantage
over the classic Message Passing Interface(MPI). PGAS has also
advantages compared to classic shared memory ...
Exploring in-game rewards in the diaquarium. A serious game for children with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-12-22)
Digital games do not only serve entertainment purposes, but can also benefit as useful tools for learning. Games that have an explicit and carefully thought-out educational intention has appeared as very productive within health care, and have been used more frequently as part of treatment among children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Insulin-depended diabetes has no known cure at the present time, ...
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?
(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 ...
Using Fitness Trackers and Smartwatches to Measure Physical Activity in Research: Analysis of Consumer Wrist-Worn Wearables
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-22)
Background: New fitness trackers and smartwatches are released to the consumer market every year. These devices are equipped with different sensors, algorithms, and accompanying mobile apps. With recent advances in mobile sensor technology, privately collected physical activity data can be used as an addition to existing methods for health data collection in research. Furthermore, data collected ...
The metagenomic data life-cycle: standards and best practices
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-01)
Metagenomics data analyses from independent studies can only be compared if the analysis workflows are described in a harmonized way. In this overview, we have mapped the landscape of data standards available for the description of essential steps in metagenomics: (i) material sampling, (ii) material sequencing, (iii) data analysis, and (iv) data archiving and publishing. Taking examples from marine ...
Implementing an SMB2 Server in the Vortex Operating System
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-15)
With the advent of computer networks, the ability for sharing and accessing files across the network between multiple workstations and remote servers was sought after. In the nineteen eighties, prominent networked file systems were developed and reached widespread adoption among enterprise businesses and institutions. A few of these, notably Networked File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB), ...

Jupiter System Partner is currently working on a product idea called Information Logistics. The product focuses on collecting information via modules from several services in an enterprise system. The product will be based upon financial systems which can be customized via modules. Specifically, the product will be based upon their existing system called eSecretary which extends the economy system ...
Multiparadigm Optimizing Retargetable Transdisciplinary Abstraction Language
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-04-12)
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 ...
Casuar - A Protected Library OS for running Windows applications on top of Vortex
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-06-15)
Today, virtual machines (VMs) are commonly employed to encapsulate and isolate workloads in the cloud, enabling efficient utilization of hardware resources through the use of statistical multiplexing. Still, there is a significant overhead associated with the use of VMs; each VM instance has to contain a complete OS environment to support the execution of applications that are dependent on the ...
