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 ...

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), ...

Large organizations often use many software applications. In some cases, two or more of these applications contains information that is very similar or the same. In this thesis we are going to look at calendar information. UiT - The Arctic University of Norway is a large organization which uses many applications that contains calendar information. Fronter, Syllabus and Microsoft Exchange all covers ...

The amount of content available for consumption online is increasing tremendously. This make the job of recommender systems more important, and at the same time, more demanding. Context-aware recommender systems might be a solution to this problem. This work set out to discover user contexts dynamically by collecting contextual information from user actions and perform cluster analysis on the ...

A large up-to-date compendium of integrated genomic data is often required for biological data analysis. The compendium can be tens of terabytes in size, and must often be frequently updated with new experimental or meta-data. Manual compendium update is cumbersome, requires a lot of unnecessary computation, and it may result in errors or inconsistencies in the compendium. We propose a transparent ...

Background: An increasing quantity of research in the domain of telemedicine show a growing popularity and acceptance of care over distance systems among both clinicians and patients. We focus on telementoring solutions, developed for providing remote guidance to less experienced surgeons. Telestration is often regarded as an extra functionality of some telementoring systems. However, we advocate ...

Exploratory analyses are vital to fully realize the potential for scientific discoveries in large-scale biomedical data compendia. Specifically, most biomedical data analyses require a human expert to interactively explore the data to find novel hypotheses or conclusions. However, recent developments in biotechnology instruments are generating Tera-scale datasets. No interactive biomedical data ...
