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 ...

With the advent of body sensor technology, athletes can easily record individual physiological metrics such as heart rate, steps, and blood sugar. In parallel, there is an increasing number of web services that use the raw body-sensor data as input to sports analytics. For the individual athletes, this can yield valuable insights on their performance and suggestions on individual training programs, ...

The University of Tromsø is conducting regular marine seismic acquisition cruises for scientific and educational purposes in the polar regions of the Norwegian Sea and beyond. Leading experts in the field currently employed by the Department of Geology at ui, have found the current seismic visualization tools lacking in several fields. The available seismic software provides a multitude of settings ...

Recent technological advances provide large amounts of data for epidemiological analyses that can provide novel insights in the dynamics of carcinogenesis. These analyses are often performed without prior hypothesis and therefore require an exploratory approach. Realizing exploratory analysis requires the development of new systems that provide interactive exploration and visualization of large-scale ...

A key challenge in genetics is identifying the functional roles of genes in pathways. Numerous functional genomics techniques (e.g. machine learning) that predict protein function have been developed to address this question. These methods generally build from existing annotations of genes to pathways and thus are often unable to identify additional genes participating in processes that are not ...

Telehealth at the University of California Health System began as a telefetal monitoring connection with a rural hospital in 1992 and evolved to become the Center for Health and Technology (CHT) in 2000. The Center supports the vision of the University of California Davis (UC Davis) Health System—a healthier world through bold innovation. The CHT focuses on the four pillars of the academic ...

This thesis address challenges in metagenomic data processing on clusters of computers; in particular the need for interactive response times during development, debugging and tuning of data processing pipelines. Typical metagenomics pipelines batch process data, and have execution times ranging from hours to months, making configuration and tuning time consuming and impractical. We have analyzed ...

As other fundamental programming abstractions in energy-e cient computing, search trees are expected to support both high parallelism and data locality. However, existing highly-concurrent search trees such as red-black trees and AVL trees do not consider data locality while existing locality-aware search trees such as those based on the van Emde Boas layout (vEB-based trees), poorly support ...

There are currently over 27 000 registered soccer teams in Norway. However, even with mandatory coaching licenses, there are still a vast variety of approaches to how training sessions should be planned and executed. Even in top-level professional soccer organizations, the planning of exercises involves a considerable amount of manual labor. The most common approaches include using old-fashioned pen ...
