A Generic Model of Project Management with Dynaplan smia
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Projects are hard to be managed due to the reason of complexity, non -linear relationship and high dynamic. System dynamics has been proven a powerful and efficient way to manage projects. In this research, a generic system dynamics model applying to project management has been made. Through studying the model, the system behaviours have been analyzed and policies to deal with the problems of project management have been established. In addition, an object-oriented feature has been added into the model. The attempt is new to system dynamics modelling, and the outcome is satisfying since it makes …
A generic model of project management with Vensim
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Large projects without good management will often cause cost and deadline overruns, missing the project scope and insufficient quality. The construction of the channel tunnel which link between England and France was budgeted at $7 billion, but it entered service in the second half of 1994 with a price tag of $13 billion. The Disneyland in Paris initially planned to cost $2.25 billion in the project, but finally cost $4 billion. Some projects are even never finished, typically software projects System dynamics has proven to be an effective methodology to explain the reasons of project failure and…
Process Improvement Solution for Mobile Platform Customer SW Development
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Time to market is becoming an increasingly important topic in software industry. In this trend, handling customer change requests is of a paramount importance. In the current thesis, we investigate reducing the lead time of handling customer requests at EMP Grimstad. Problems were identified and an extensive solution that covers all the aspects of these problems are presented. An experience was conducted and the first results are promising.
Clustering with Terracotta
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad In today’s java community, modern enterprise application products have more constraints and requirements then ever. High availability, application scalability and also good performance are required, which means an application is needed to be deployed on multiple JVMs, in other words, it has to be clustered or distributed. It is essential for the application to scale out well, has better performance and less complexity during development of clustering. This master thesis focuses on clustering with Terracotta which is a JVM level clustering technique. First I start analyzing the complexity when an …
Hierarchical Fish Species Detection in Real-Time Video Using YOLO
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) Information gathering of aquatic life is often based on time consuming methods with a foundation in video feeds. It would be beneficial to capture more information in a cost effective manner from video feeds, and video object detection has an opportunity to achieve this. Recent research has shown promising results with the use of YOLO for object detection of fish. As under-water conditions can be difficult and fish species hard to discriminate, we propose the use of a hierarchical structures in both the classification and the dataset to gain valuable information. With the use of hierarchical classification and other techn…
A Generative Adversarial Network approach using Latent Space Manipulation for Clothing Display on Synthetic Images Using the latent space of an non-p…
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The Fashion industry is continuously inventing new clothing. A significant bottleneck when introducing newly designed clothing to the market is advertisements. This thesis looks into the possibility of streamlining this bottleneck through the automated manipulation of clothing onto generated humans. A common problem in Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is the black-box nature of the generated re-sults. Meaning a user has no direct input on the traits of images produced. GANs are capable of exceptional levels of "creativity" when utilizing its generator to create novel results. For instance, it is possible to project a…
Simulated testing in mobile datacom systems (GPRS/UMTS) : postgraduate thesis information and communication technology
2000
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2000 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The assignment described in this thesis is given by Ericsson AS and gives an evaluation of simulation and testing tools used in their development projects. Since Ericsson wants to change their testing process the task was to evaluate and suggest a solution to how this could be done. In order to make testing available for all developers it was required to run tests independent of hardware. Thus they wanted to simulate the hardware resources. Originally, the intention was to use the test environment used otherwise in Ericsson. This proved to cause many problems because the project became dependent of o…
3D Convolution Neural Networks for Medical Imaging; Classification and Segmentation : A Doctor’s Third Eye
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT591) In this thesis, we studied and developed 3D classification and segmentation models for medical imaging. The classification is done for Alzheimer’s Disease and segmentation is for brain tumor sub-regions. For the medical imaging classification task we worked towards developing a novel deep architecture which can accomplish the complex task of classifying Alzheimer’s Disease volumetrically from the MRI scans without the need of any transfer learning. The experiments were performed for both binary classification of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) from Normal Cognitive (NC), as well as multi class classification between the three st…
Utfordringer ved innføring av Enterprise Content Management system: en case-studie fra Høgskolen i Agder
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2006, Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Organisasjoner har opplevd å bli overveldet av informasjon. Ofte har de ikke hatt forutsetninger, verken i form av strategiske kunnskaper eller systemer, for å håndtere den gigantiske informasjonsmengden. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) er betegnelsen på publiseringsverktøy for nettsider som tar sikte på å løse dette problemet. ECM spiller en stadig viktigere rolle i dagens organisasjoner, men det finnes bare en begrenset mengde forskning rundt utfordringer ved innføring av Enterprise Content Management (ECM) i organisasjoner. Vi har gjennomført studien ved Høgskolen i Agder hvor vi har fulgt prosjektet Nettporta…
Hva påvirker akseptanse og bruk av et LMS?
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2007 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Som bakgrunn for min undersøkelse har jeg gjort et litteraturstudie av tidligere forskning på LMS systemer. Det legges ned mye ressurser, både i form av tid og penger, til denne typen systemer. Studiet viser at teknologi står i fokus hos forskerne. Flere funn tyder på at LMS systemer ikke blir utnyttet til fulle. Forskning viser at nytenkende pedagogiske egenskaper er viktig. Undervisningsopplegget bør sees mer fra studentenes side. Mange lærere benytter systemet kun til å legge ut fagstoff og informasjon. Siden et LMS har mange flere muligheter, faller da store deler av hensikten med systemet bort. Det virker som o…
