Introducing Internet-based services in the mountain areas of Nepal: An asset pentagon perspective

2012

Published version of an article from the journal: Information Technologies & International Development. Also available from the publisher: http://itidjournal.org/itid/article/view/916 Information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) projects can only be considered successful if they lead to some kind of individual, social, or economic development. The beneªts of introducing ICT4D projects in developing countries are yet to be realized, particularly those introduced in mountainous and remote areas. Our study addresses this knowledge gap by analyzing the Nepal Wireless Networking Project from the mountain areas in Nepal using the assets pentagon model (APM). The main contribut…

Exploring knowledge work practices and evolution in distributed networks of practice

2010

Published version of an article from the journal:Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management Also available from the publisher: http://www.ejkm.com/volume-8/v8-1/v8-i1-art7.htm This paper derives from a longitudinal study conducted in a multinational company. Through an interpretive case study approach, we have explored the phenomenon of knowledge networking in distributed work. More specifically, we have focused on the evolution patterns in a particular knowledge networking structure denoted as distributed networks of practice. The paper conceptualizes this kind of network of practice as an information and communication technology (ICT) facilitated dynamic relationship of participants that …

Offshore Wind Data Integration

2014

Doktorgradsavhandling i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi, Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad, 2014 Using renewable energy to meet the future electricity consumption and to reduce environmental impact is a significant target of many countries around the world. Wind power is one of the most promising renewable energy technologies. In particular, the development of offshore wind power is increasing rapidly due to large areas of wind resources. However, offshore wind is encountering big challenges such as effective use of wind power plants, reduced cost of installation as well as operation and maintenance (O&M). Improved O&M is likely to reduce the hazard exposure of the employees, increas…

On merging the fields of neural networks and adaptive data structures to yield new pattern recognition methodologies

2011

Published version of a chapter from the book Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence. Also available from the publisher at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21786-9_3 The aim of this talk is to explain a pioneering exploratory research endeavour that attempts to merge two completely different fields in Computer Science so as to yield very fascinating results. These are the well-established fields of Neural Networks (NNs) and Adaptive Data Structures (ADS) respectively. The field of NNs deals with the training and learning capabilities of a large number of neurons, each possessing minimal computational properties. On the other hand, the field of ADS concerns designing, implementing an…

Cryptographic Enforcement of Attribute-based Authentication

2016

Doktorgradsavhandling, This dissertation investigates on the cryptographic enforcement about attributebased authentication (ABA) schemes. ABA is an approach to authenticate users via attributes, which are properties of users to be authenticated, environment conditions such as time and locations. By using attributes in place of users’ identity information, ABA can provide anonymous authentication, or more specifically, ABA enables to keep users anonymous from their authenticators. In addition, the property of least information leakage provides better protection for users’ privacy compared with public key based authentication approaches. These properties make it possible to apply ABA schemes …

Simulation Models in eGovernment Using System Dynamics

2017

Doktorgradsavhandling ved Universitetet i Agder, Institutt for infomasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi, 2017 System Dynamics (SD) is a method to build simulation models using computers, to study the behaviour of systems, and apply what-if scenarios aiming at achieving optimal policy design. In this thesis, we are introducing an SD approach in modelling the eGovernment. The thesis is based on two topics or essays: eParticipation and eAccessibility as examples of eGovernment areas that SD models have not been used in before, to show how SD can be used in modelling and supporting decisions in the field of eGovernment, especially in new areas. Although this research is part of the eGovMon proje…
