Research on the impact of using interactive game based learning to teach mathematics
2005
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2005 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The number of students who study scientific subjects has continued to drop over a long period of time. Compared to 2004, there is a 12% decrease in High School students who study mathematics and a 5% decrease in applicants for technology studies at College and University level in 2005 [1]. These numbers concern employees of the technology sector as they have predicted a large need for mathematicians in the future [19]. The educational system is under constant change to take advantage of new educational methods that modern technology allows for. The Heriot Watt University in Scotland showed that the i…
Interconnected learning automata playing Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad There exist several examples of situations where interaction between entities is essential in order to reach a common goal, for instance negotiations. Problems arise when the parties of a case are in disagreement with each other and they all want the best for themselves. Our thesis focuses around one such case. Analyzing the results of its own actions, an entity can learn what kind of adversaries it faces. For instance they may be cooperative, hostile, ignorant or irrational. The situation becomes even more complex when the opposing parties change its behaviour while trying to reach a goal. In this c…
Data management and concurrency control in broadcast based asymmetric environments
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Tens of millions of users have personal handheld devices with several network interfaces built-in, and the number of users and of network interfaces included are only increasing. This growth suggests a need for new methods to disseminate data to multiple clients, and cyclic broadcast is one approach. We do a survey on the various data management protocols that describe how to broadcast the data, and the concurrency control protocols that make sure all access to the database is consistent. The various data management and concurrency control techniques deals with the restrictions in asymmetric broadcas…
Analysis of audio coding algorithms for networked embedded systems
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Today there are many different audio coding algorithms, some of them standardized by the ITU, like G.711, G.726 and G.728, and several other codecs by other organizations like Fraunhofer (mp3) and Microsoft (WMA). All these algorithms differ in several important features, like speech quality, bit or compression rate, robustness, delay, sampling frequency, complexity and range of use. The past decade we have witnessed a great progress towards application of low-rate speech/music coders as well as computer related voice/music applications. Central to this progress has been the development of speech cod…
Ontological Modelling of FEST with support for DDI Reasoning
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 FEST is a Norwegian database and information service aimed towards providing all the required pharmaceutical data to different stakeholders such as hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and practitioners. FEST being a complete pharmaceutical database, ensures every information related to drugs such as dosage, form of drug, interactions, and brand. FEST database is represented as an XML and schema files. In this master thesis, we propose an open and linked data representation approach of FEST database by modelling it as an Ontology. We propose the integration of FEST ontology with other systems and ont…
Effektiv integrasjon av Java servlets i Apache web-tjener
2000
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2000 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad I hovedoppgaven "Effektiv integrasjon av Java servlets i Apache web-tjener" belyses design og implementasjon av serverapplikasjoner som er skrevet i språk som C men hvor funksjonalitet kan utvides med dynamisk pluggbare komponenter skrevet i Java. Oppgaven fokuserer spesielt på fordeler og ulemper ved en arkitektur hvor Java virtuell maskin (og java komponentene) kjører innenfor samme prosess som tjeneren, i forhold til en annen arkitektur hvor tjeneren og JVM kjører i separate prosesser og kommuniserer ved hjelp av operativsystemets IPC mekanismer (TCP sockets). I oppgaven er det gitt eksempler på d…
Security in the Wireless Application Protocol : post-graduate thesis in information and communication technology
2000
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2000 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The necessity of being online wherever you are and at any time, have brought foreword the WAP technology. Solution based on banking, industry, and sale among others, is services and application that are on the market to day. Like in all new technologies the security issues in WAP is of great interest. The interest lies on both possible intruders and company that want to make a profit out of it by offering services. This assignment enlightens possible security problems in the WAP architecture, both in the security layer Wireless Transport Layer of Security (WTLS) and the WAP infrastructure. The report…
Prosessforbedring og teknologistøtte for semistrukturerte prosesser
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Rapporten omhandler utvikling av et adaptiv Workflow Management System (WfMS). Systemet skal brukes i forbedring av en faktureringsprosess for konsulenter. I den forbindelse behandles sentrale teorier innen prosessforbedring og adaptiv arbeidsflyt. Nåværende faktureringsprosess har rom for effektivisering, automatisering og kvalitetsforbedring. Prosessen er manuell, sekvensiell og lite strukturert. Strategi som foreslås benyttet i utviklingen er Total Quality Management (TQM), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) og Concurrent Engineering (CE). Det er utviklet en prototyp som er verktøyet for å…
Classification with Multiple Classes using Naïve Bayes and Text Generation with a Small Data Set using a Recurrent Neural Network
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 In this thesis, text classification and text generation are explored using only a small data set and many classes. This thesis experiments with text classification, and show how it is able to find the most similar output compared to the input even with thousands of classes. Furthermore, text generation is explored on a small data set to create a unique output. By using Na¨ıve Bayes text classifier combined with a Recurrent Neural Network language-model, it is possible to use new deviations as input before an original suggestion for a measure is generated as the output
