Agile systemutviklingsmetoder i praksis : en flercasestudie blant bedrifter på Agder
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2007 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Agile systemutviklingsmetoder ansees av mange som ganske nye og forholdsvis løse. Det er tidligere blitt gjort forskning på hvordan disse bør brukes i teorien, hva som er viktig når man skal velge ut en slik metode, og når man i teorien skal bruke den. Det er mange faktorer som påvirker metoder, og det finnes også en del holdninger til hvorfor de fungerer eller ikke. Bruken av metoder er også en kjent problemstilling, hvor vidt metodene kan brukes eller ikke. Mesteparten av den forskningen som tidligere er gjort, har blitt foretatt av personer som har preferanser enten for eller i mot slik systemutvikling, og rundt …
A preliminary evaluation of an enterprise-wide eCollaboration solution : a case study in Statoil
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Based on the World Wide Web and the internet new possibilities have emerged for organisations in terms of collaboration. Organisations invest heavily in collaborative systems to be able to collaborate more efficiently both internally and externally. There is increasing research in the area of collaboration technologies. By focusing on group interaction, collaborative technologies pose new opportunities to organisations. The potential benefits including more efficient and better collaboration, cost savings by communication across organisational boundaries and improved possibilities for decision making. However, new o…
Implementation of Building Information Modeling in Infrastructure Construction : Lessons from Norway and Vietnam
2021
Industrialization, innovation, and infrastructure are important drivers in improving employment and income (United Nations, 2015b). To meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, developing countries need to invest more in research and innovation that aims to improve their infrastructure (United Nations, 2015a). More basic infrastructure, such as roads, information and communication technology (ICT) systems, and electrical power grids, is essential to improving standards of living and protecting the environment in developing countries (ibid.). Construction researchers have found that the use of ICT increases construction efficiency. Adwan and Al-Soufi (2016) classified 2…
A novel learning automata game with local feedback for parallel optimization of hydropower production
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Hydropower optimization for multi-reservoir systems is classi ed as a combinatorial optimization problem with large state-space that is particularly di cult to solve. There exist no golden standard when solving such problems, and many proposed algorithms are domain speci c. The literature describes several di erent techniques where linear programming approaches are extensively discussed, but tends to succumb to the curse of dimensionality problem when the state vector dimensions increase. This thesis introduces LA LCS, a novel learning automata algorithm that utilizes a parallel form of local feedbac…

Project report : Evaluering av INSITU skogbrannøvelse
2021
Rapporten presenterer resultater fra evaluering av en digital tabletop-øvelse arrangert av INSITU-prosjektet i april 2021, der scenarioet omfattet 3 samtidige skogbranner i Agder. Hensikt med øvelsen var å gi erfaring med hvordan situasjonsbilde kan deles fra innsatsleder til sentrale myndigheter med bruk av felles digital kartstøtte. Øvelsen involverte ca. 70 deltagere fra 20 etater og organisasjoner, i tillegg til prosjektgruppen fra INSITU.
Development of System for Deterrence of Animals using Artificial Intelligence
2021
Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis is part of the Mechatronics masters program at the University of Agder (UiA). It describes the development of an animal deterrence system, using computer vision with embedded systems for edge computing. Household cats can run freely around in neighborhoods, but all neighbors may not appreciate it. This project seeks to develop a harmless and accurate system for keeping cats away. The solution is to use a state-of-the-art object detector to look for cats in an area. Using an embedded system to run the object detector and tracking method. Design a two-axis turret with servo motors and a camera. The object detector used for this project was …
Tapping beam recognition and measurement with infrared camera : Optimisation of an industrial process using an thermal imaging camera and computer vi…
2021
Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis presents the research and development of an application for recognition and measuring of a ferrosilicon tapping beam using an Infrared (IR) camera. Ferrosilicon production is a highly endothermic process, requiring large amounts of energy to operate; thus, the need for increased efficiency is constant. Using an IR camera for non-intrusive measurements of the tapping beam and developing computer vision algorithms that can identify distinctive process parameters are investigated in this project. Today a videostream from an IR camera overlooking the tapping area at Elkem Thamshavn is directly displayed in the tapping control room with no for…
A Perspective Review on Integrating VR/AR with Haptics into STEM Education for Multi-Sensory Learning
2022
As a result of several governments closing educational facilities in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, almost 80% of the world’s students were not in school for several weeks. Schools and universities are thus increasing their efforts to leverage educational resources and provide possibilities for remote learning. A variety of educational programs, platforms, and technologies are now accessible to support student learning; while these tools are important for society, they are primarily concerned with the dissemination of theoretical material. There is a lack of support for hands-on laboratory work and practical experience. This is particularly important for all disciplines related …
Human Simulation and Sustainability : Ontological, Epistemological, and Ethical Reflections
2020
This article begins with a brief outline of recent advances in the application of computer modeling to sustainability research, identifying important gaps in coverage and associated limits in methodological capability, particularly in regard to taking account of the tangled human factors that are often impediments to a sustainable future. It then describes some of the ways in which a new transdisciplinary approach within &ldquo
