Models Versus Model Descriptions
2021
In the development of computer-based systems, modelling is often advocated in addition to programming, in that it helps in reflecting the application domain and that it makes the design and experiment activities of development more efficient. However, there is disagreement about what models are and how they can be used in software systems development. In this paper, we present the Scandinavian approach to modelling, which makes a clear distinction between models and model descriptions. This paper explains the connections between models, descriptions, systems, and executions. Combining the Scandinavian approach with the Kiel notion of model, we establish that both descriptions and executions…
Hvordan påvirkes arbeidsprosesser ved innføring av EPJ og velferdsteknologi på sykehjem
2018
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 In order to be better equipped in the challenges of the future, with an increasing number of elderly and fewer professionals to care for them, the government emphasizes the importance of service innovation in the healthcare sector. Change is required to gain socioeconomic benefits, particularly in work processes. More frequent and better use of electronic medical record (EMR) and welfare technology is necessary. The purpose of this study was to bring information and knowledge about how using technology in the nursing homes has transformed the work processes. Qualitative, exploratory method with semi-structured i…

PSIM-Based Hardware and Software Design of an Inverter-Fed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
2018
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2018 The purpose of this research is to design a PSIM based controller for an inverter-fed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The dimensioning and assembly of the controller are presented. The control algorithm used for the PMSM is Field Oriented Control (FOC). The report includes the theory of the control algorithm and its design. A PSIM based model is designed with the dimensioned components to analyse the behaviour of the controller. The model gives the opportunity of tuning the controller and verifying it with simulations. The model is then converted to be SimCoder compatible, enabling the simulation to be generated i…
Power Prediction of Photovoltaic System using Neural Network Models
2019
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 This workconsidersa photovoltaic (PV)system installed on the rooftop of Agder Energi’s headquarters located at Kjøita, Kristiansand. The system includes three different types of solar PV modules; Suntech (multi-Si), Sharp (a-Si/μ-Si) and REC (multi-Si), that have a total installed DC capacity of 45 kWp. The system is grid-connected and instrumented for research and monitoring purposes.Artificial Neural Network(ANN)models were trained to obtain the lowest mean square error(MSE), by testing different configurations using a model-based trial and error approach. The modelconfigurations that gavethe lowest(MSE) wereused to predic…
Applying Spring Security Framework with KeyCloak-Based OAuth2 to Protect Microservice Architecture APIs: A Case Study
2022
In this study, we implemented an integrated security solution with Spring Security and Keycloak open-access platform (SSK) to secure data collection and exchange over microservice architecture application programming interfaces (APIs). The adopted solution implemented the following security features: open authorization, multi-factor authentication, identity brokering, and user management to safeguard microservice APIs. Then, we extended the security solution with a virtual private network (VPN), Blowfish and crypt (Bcrypt) hash, encryption method, API key, network firewall, and secure socket layer (SSL) to build up a digital infrastructure. To accomplish and describe the adopted SSK solutio…
Design and Fabrication of Liquid Pressure Sensor Using FBG Sensor Through Seesaw Hinge Mechanism
2022
Pressure sensors are used in various industrial applications assisting in preventing unintended disasters. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a novel Seesaw device incorporating a diaphragm and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor to measure the pressure of liquids. The designed sensor has been tested in a static water column. The proposed design enables the user to easily make and modify the diaphragm based on the required pressure range without interfering with the FBG sensor. The developed pressure sensor produces improved accuracy and sensitivity to applied liquid pressure in both low and high-pressure ranges without requiring sophisticated sensor construction. A finite eleme…
Exploring the role of the sharing economy in disasters management
2020
Abstract Improvements in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have facilitated the inclusion of the sharing economy (SE) in societies more than ever. In the aftermath of recent disasters, the SE played significant roles to help the affected people and support official responders. However, the literature has not effectively explored these roles, and thus, no framework can support the systematic inclusion of the SE in disasters management. This paper aims to address the gap through a two-stage exploratory research approach. First, we conduct a systematic literature review to identify the extent to which the SE is taken into consideration in disasters. After that, we investigate …
Packet Aggregation in TelosB WSNs: Design, Implementation and Experiments
2016
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2016 WSN is an extensive field of research and a core technology which is adopted for monitoring and data assembling, used in various applications. Traditionally in a WSN, communication is performed in the fashion of single packet per transmission which produces high energy consumption and longer delay. Therefore, we introduce a novel approach by designing a system which applies packet aggregation in TelosB sensor motes using Contiki platform. In this approach, we assemble multiple packets together and send them in an aggregated frame towards the sink which can reduce the number of transmissions, energ…
ERCP : Energy-Efficient and Reliable-Aware Clustering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
2022
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been around for over a decade and have been used in many important applications. Energy and reliability are two of the major problems with these kinds of applications. Reliable data delivery is an important issue in WSNs because it is a key part of how well data are sent. At the same time, energy consumption in battery-based sensors is another challenge. Therefore, efficient clustering and routing are techniques that can be used to save sensors energy and guarantee reliable message delivery. With this in mind, this paper develops an energy-efficient and reliable clustering protocol (ERCP) for WSNs. First, an efficient clustering technique is proposed for…
