Towards Next Generation System Architecture for Emergency Services
2011
European Union has decided that all emergencies can be reported to authorities by European citizens by calling 112 or sending a text message to 112. Distributing warnings and alerts of authorities to citizens currently happens through national TV and radio channels, but telecom networks are also used now in some countries for this purpose. During the last ten years there have been attempts to develop new system architectures for various emergency service provision phases. Some of them are already deployed in special cases, like in ambulance services. Multimedia emergency alert messages can be delivered to citizens over fixed and mobile telecom networks and commercial systems are already in …
SAUCE: A Web-Based Automated Assessment Tool for Teaching Parallel Programming
2015
Many curricula for undergraduate studies in computer science provide a lecture on the fundamentals of parallel programming like multi-threaded computation on shared memory architectures using POSIX threads or OpenMP. The complex structure of parallel programs can be challenging, especially for inexperienced students. Thus, there is a latent need for software supporting the learning process. Subsequent lectures may cover more advanced parallelization techniques such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) languages. Unfortunately, the majority of students cannot easily access MPI clusters or modern hardware accelerators in order to effectivel…
Bayesian versus data driven model selection for microarray data
2014
Clustering is one of the most well known activities in scientific investigation and the object of research in many disciplines, ranging from Statistics to Computer Science. In this beautiful area, one of the most difficult challenges is a particular instance of the model selection problem, i.e., the identification of the correct number of clusters in a dataset. In what follows, for ease of reference, we refer to that instance still as model selection. It is an important part of any statistical analysis. The techniques used for solving it are mainly either Bayesian or data-driven, and are both based on internal knowledge. That is, they use information obtained by processing the input data. A…
ChiLab4It system in the QA4FAQ competition
2017
ChiLab4It is the Question Answering system (QA) for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) developed by the Computer-Human Interaction Laboratory (ChiLab) at the University of Palermo for participating to the QA4FAQ task at EVALITA 2016 competition. The system is the versioning of the QuASIt framework developed by the same authors, which has been customized to address the particular task. This technical report describes the strategies that have been imported from QuASIt for implementing ChiLab4It, the actual system implementation, and the comparative evaluations with the results of the other participant tools, as provided by the organizers of the task. ChiLab4It was the only system whose score re…
REFLECTIONS ON MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION
2012
Modern management has given an extremely important place to managerial communication. It considers communication as a vital component of the managerial system of all organizations. A successful manager is the one that can communicate with the persons that he or she is leading, and the performance of an organization can be conditioned by the manner in which managers communicate. The identification of employees with the organizational goals, their channeling of efforts for the common objectives, the ability of the manager to assess the results of his or her decisions can be accomplished only by using the resources of managerial communication. A laconic, delayed or confused managerial communic…
SMS Messages in a Daily Finnish Newspaper : The Contect of Proverb Performances
2017
The article focuses on Finnish proverbs as a part of contemporary colloquial written language in everyday use and context. The article offers a view on what is happening with proverbs in the vernacular in Finnish everyday life. Most traditional Finnish proverbs originate from an agrarian context and still use agrarian language, even if nowadays they live in a new context with a new meaning. As empirical material this article uses a special case that demonstrates the use of proverbs in one Finnish newspaper: proverbs in SMS messages published as a letter to the editor in a newspaper. *** Avtorica se osredinja na finske pregovore kot del sodobnega pogovornega pisnega jezika v vsakdanji rabi i…
Geographical Routing for Delay Tolerant Encounter Networks
2007
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are intermittently connected networks, where direct end--to--end path between communicating nodes may never exist. To achieve eventual delivery some nodes must store messages and wait opportunity to forward them. In mobile environment, one of the most challenging problems for routing protocols is to decide, which nodes should store the message to achieve eventual delivery as quick as possible. Common approach is to propagate message into large group of nodes, hoping one of them will reach the destination. These solutions, however, are not very scalable as they generate plenty of extra load and traffic to network. Further more, message carriers have no means to…
ADM : A Density And Priority Levels Aware Protocol For Broadcasting In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
2014
The broadcasting communication mode is widely used in Vehicular Ad~hoc Networks (VANETs). It is used for sending emergency messages, road-traffic information or to help routing protocols to determine routes. This communication mode is known to be hard to achieve efficiently since it depends on the network density. Indeed, broadcasting methods may cause network congestion if they are not well designed. This paper introduces a novel Autonomic Dissemination Method (ADM) which delivers messages in accordance with given message classes and network density levels. The proposed approach is based on two steps: an offline optimization process and an online adaptation to the network characteristics. …
Innovation Dynamics in Space: Local Actors and Local Factors
1997
This paper addresses the issue of technogenesis and its geographical pattern. It aims to offer both a general analysis framework and a test on innovation data from several European cities. This framework is mainly built on the product life-cycle and the incubation approach. On the basis of this framework, it is argued that the phases of an industrial life-cycle have several firm-specific effects. First, these phases influence innovativeness and thus profit levels, output and employment of firms in a spatially distinct way. Second, the phases of the life-cycle mirror the importance of local factors for innovations, and third, they affect strategic decisions of firms, inter alia by influencin…
Elektronisk meldingsutveksling- et bidrag til å oppfylle Samhandlingsreformens intensjoner om helhetlige, sømløse, koordinerte og trygge tjenester? :…

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Project background: Patient information is exchanged between different governmental levels of health care to provide new health level with correct/adequate information. The information exchanged is important in securing a seamless and continuous care. Purpose/problem: This projects objective is to assess the information quality of electronic messages, in particular if the content received meets the recipient’s need of information to customize patient treatment/care. Selection/method: The project made requests to a coordination manager and interaction coordinators in a region, who communicated the projects request…
