    • Building a Neighborhood Resource Map for IoT and Cyber-Physical systems in Resource-Constrained Environments 

      Sønvisen, Sindre (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-12)
      Creating and maintaining a shared resource map between observation nodes that have a behavior where they are mostly sleeping, and have a wake up schedule that are determined at each node locally is challenging. This thesis looks at these challenges, and possible solutions have been proposed to overcome them. Previous research on the topic of constrained IoT networks have looked at the network, ...
    • Continious Synchronization of Conflict-Free Replicated Relations 

      Iversen, Gustav Heide (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-12)
      Local-first software is an attempt to use the benefits of cloud service while reducing its drawbacks. Local-first software gives the clients ownership and control of their data and makes the service always available. It is achieved by having the primary copy of the service at the client. The most common way to implement local-first software is by utilizing Conflict-free Replicated Datatypes or CRDTs, ...
    • Gurret: Decentralized data management using subscription-based file attribute propagation 

      Johansen, Sivert (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-13)
      Research institutions and funding agencies are increasingly adopting open-data science, where data is freely available or available under some data sharing policy. In addition to making publication efforts easier, open data science also promotes collaborative work using data from various sources around the world. While the research datasets are often static and immutable, the metadata of a file ...
    • Personalized Nudges with Edge Computing 

      Andersen, Elisabeth Sie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-02)
      This thesis aims to investigate the role of edge computing in a smart nudging system. A smart nudging system has requirements for efficient data processing of personal and context-aware data from heterogeneous sources. Furthermore, a smart nudging system needs to protect and preserve the privacy of data within the system. Edge computing has been proposed as a computing paradigm in a smart nudging ...
    • The Mask: Masking the effects of Edge Nodes being unavailable 

      Zhakun, Ilia (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-11-15)
      The arctic tundra is observed to collect data to be used for climate research. Data can be collected by cyber-physical computers with sensors. However, the arctic tundra has a limited availability of energy. Consequently, the nodes rely on batteries and sleep most of the time to increase the battery-limited operational lifetime. In addition, only a few nodes can expect to be in reach of a back-haul ...
    • How to use an app to Nudge people to choose more green transportation? 

      Myrvang, Ingvild Kristiane (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-10-02)
      Making green transport choices are more important than ever to save the environment. To accomplish this there must be a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. How to make people choose green transportation, when it is inconvenient, is an interesting challenge. Most would rather take the easy way out to avoid the extra planning and estimation of how to reach their destination. ...

Implementing explorative data visualizations in web browsers makes data analysis ...
    • Combination of satellite imagery and wind data in deep learning approach to detect oil spills 

      Borhaug, Hans Berg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-09-15)
      The ocean is vulnerable to oil related activities such as oil production and transport that can harm the environment. Environmental damages from oil spills can be large if not dealt with. Satellite images from radar are useful to detect oil spills because they cover both day and night and penetrates clouds. However, detecting oil spills in ocean areas from satellite images are not a trivial task due ...
    • Healthy Transportation Choices with IoT and Smart Nudging 

      Mehmood, Fazal (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-06-01)
      Modern technology has provided people with ease of living but at the same time has given birth to the problems of equally modern nature. For instance, high reliance on private transportation has resulted in unintended consequences such as high level of air pollution and congestion in urban cities. Another main disadvantage that is often overlooked is related to the rise of several noncommunicable ...

    • Motivating for behavioral change through smart nudging. Evaluating digital representations of psychological effects 

      Gjærum, Isak (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-13)
      This thesis aims to study psychological effects and how to represent them digitally within a smart nudging system. A smart nudging system creates personalized digital nudges that are highly relevant to the user's context. How the system presents the nudges and what psychological effects are used is critical to influencing the user towards the nudging goal. The goal of the thesis is to find, implement ...
    • General Monitoring of Observational Units in the Arctic Tundra 

      Karlstrøm, Erlend Melum (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-15)
      Climate change is going to change what we know about the arctic tundra. Patterns in the behavior of the wildlife that lives there are predicted to undergo a shift, and it will therefore be important to have reliable sources of empirical data, so that we can understand how these developments are playing out. The arctic tundra is remote and difficult to deploy sensing instruments on, and signal ...
    • Clock Synchronization between Observational Units in the Arctic Tundra 

      Karlstad, Sigurd (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-15)
      The arctic tundra is one of the ecosystems that is most affected by climate changes. The effects of these changes on the wildlife in the arctic are therefore critical to monitor. To monitor the changes, small computing devices with sensors and cameras, known as Observational Units, can be used. Using a cluster network of interconnected observational units, so that data can be reported from the ...

There are no complete systems that let us analyse and extract this information about the labour market efficiently. ...
    • GeneNet VR: Large Biological Networks in Virtual Reality Using Inexpensive Hardware 

      Martínez Fernández, Álvaro (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-15)
      Biological data is often visualized using networks. However, these networks face problems such as information overload, high interconnectivity, and high dimensionality. Existing approaches try to solve these problems by reducing the interactivity in favor of presenting more information or by using expensive hardware. This thesis aims to solve them using Virtual Reality (VR) and the Oculus Quest, an ...
