Optimal “anti-Bayesian” parametric pattern classification for the exponential family using Order Statistics criteria
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Image Analysis and Recognition. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-31295-3_2 This paper reports some pioneering results in which optimal parametric classification is achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, quite opposed to the Bayesian paradigm. The paper, which builds on the results of [1], demonstrates (with both theoretical and experimental results) how this can be done for some distributions within the exponential family. To be more specific, within a Bayesian paradigm, if we are allowed to compare the testing sample with only a single point in the feature space from each class, the optimal Bayesian strat…
On using prototype reduction schemes to optimize locally linear reconstruction methods
2012
Authors version of an article published in the journal: Pattern Recognition. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2011.06.021 This paper concerns the use of prototype reduction schemes (PRS) to optimize the computations involved in typical k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) rules. These rules have been successfully used for decades in statistical pattern recognition (PR) [1,15] applications and are particularly effective for density estimation, classification, and regression because of the known error bounds that they possess. For a given data point of unknown identity, the k-NN possesses the phenomenon that it combines the information about the samples from a pri…
On the pattern recognition and classification of stochastically episodic events
2012
Published version of a chapter published in the book: Transactions on Compuational Collective Intelligence VI. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29356-6_1 Researchers in the field of Pattern Recognition (PR) have traditionally presumed the availability of a representative set of data drawn from the classes of interest, say ω 1 and ω 2 in a 2-class problem. These samples are typically utilized in the development of the system’s discriminant function. It is, however, widely recognized that there exists a particularly challenging class of PR problems for which a representative set is not available for the second class, which has motivated a great deal of…
Pattern recognition based authentication in mobile and wireless systems
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad During last several decades’ mobile communication has aimed a dramatically development, and brought remarkable change of people’s life. Mobile communication offer wireless connectivity that enables mobility and computing in dynamic communication environments. The market demands driving the mobile communication technology development fast ever. Numbers of communication systems have been developed and numerous service providers and equipment vendors entered this market. Therefore many new advance techniques have been introduced into it which gives subscriber a larger bandwidth, more powerful proces…
Securing Assets with RFID
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Loss of property is something every company has had to deal with at some point, without proper securing this is a problem that is very hard to get control of. RFID has been available for decades but it has been a technology which has been dormant without very much development. In the last years the interest has grown and new ideas to use it has surfaced. This thesis is set out to present a comprehensive solution proposal for a RFID asset management system. A case will be presented which will be a scarlet thread throughout the paper. We cover areas like RFID technology and standards, tags, readers…

A roadmap towards improving managed security services from a privacy perspective
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Ethics and Information Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10676-014-9348-3 This paper proposes a roadmap for how privacy leakages from outsourced managed security services using intrusion detection systems can be controlled. The paper first analyses the risk of leaking private or confidential information from signature-based intrusion detection systems. It then discusses how the situation can be improved by developing adequate privacy enforcement methods and privacy leakage metrics in order to control and reduce the leakage of private and confidential information over time. Such metrics should allow fo…

Smidig utvikling i en mellomstor bedrift på Sørlandet
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer - Universitetet i Agder 2008 Systemutviklingsmetodikk og spesielt smidige metodikker og teknikker er et populært emne hos praktikere og forskere i systemutviklerbransjen. Det er gjort flere undersøkelser på hvilke metodikker som blir benyttet i praksis, hvordan metodikker kan endre seg med tid og hvilke faktorer som påvirker valget av hvilken metodikk som velges. Flere undersøkelser ser på metodikken som et helhetlig konsept som blir påvirket av flere faktorer. Færre undersøkelser har analysert de faktiske prinsippene en metodikk inneholder for å se på hvilke faktorer som påvirker bruken av disse. Denne oppgaven har tatt for seg en mellomstor bedrift på …
