Enterprise wireless networks are becoming larger and larger, with more and more users and devices connecting to the networks. This requires the infrastructure to be closely monitored and adjusted to ensure an optimum experience for users and their devices. Existing proprietary solutions exist, but are either costly, resource demanding, rigid or may not be able to deliver the functionality that is ...

Satellites generate data through their instruments as they hover in orbit. Satel- lite data is widely used in weather forecasts, environmental science, for military purposes, earth observation and more. The world depend on satellite data, for many purposes.

As increasing awareness of climate changes and surging power costs for big data centers today energy efficiency becomes increasingly important. In addition to that we carry mobile devices that depend on battery technology that is falling behind the rapid evolution of transistor technology and ever increasing power demands. At the same time there is an understanding that computer resources are not ...

As technology advances, researchers in the natural sciences collect ever-increasing amounts of data. While computer science research often focuses on effective ways to perform computations on large data sets, the visualization of large data sets can be just as important for achieving new insights. Just as cluster computing enables scalable computation on large data sets, so can cluster-based display ...

Young individuals with chronic diseases living in rural areas might face additional problems in their everyday life compared to those in the same position living closer to the cities. Living far away from friends, relatives, other in the same situation, or even general practitioners and specialists may act as an extra burden in their process through their situation. This project is meant to aid ...

This paper proposes a mechanism for expressing and enforcing security policies for shared data. Security policies are expressed as stateful meta-code operations; meta-code can express a broad class of policies, including access-based policies, use-based policies, obligations, and sticky policies with declassification. The meta-code is interposed in the filesystem access path to ensure policy ...

Folk som jobber i maritime miljø har ikke enkel tilgang til sentrale helsetjenester, og det gjelder spesielt for sjøfolk som arbeider i arktiske områder. Selv om telemedisin har vært en suksess på land, har telemedisin kun i begrenset grad blitt tatt i bruk til havs. Dette skyldes blant annet fravær av gode kommunikasjonsløsninger, dårlige værforhold, store avstander og lange perioder utenfor ...

Biological data analysis is typically implemented using a deep pipeline that combines a wide array of tools and databases. These pipelines must scale to very large datasets, and consequently require parallel and distributed computing. It is therefore important to choose a hardware platform and underlying data management and processing systems well suited for processing large datasets. There are many ...

Background: In this epidemiological study we described the characteristics of spatio-temporal gait parameters among a representative, population-based sample of 890 community-dwelling people aged 65 to 90 years. In addition, we investigated the associations between certain gait parameters and a history of falls in study participants. <p>Methods: In descriptive analyses spatio-temporal gait parameters ...

An attacker who controls a computer in an overlay network can effectively control the entire overlay network if the mechanism managing membership information can successfully be targeted. This article describes Fireflies, an overlay network protocol that fights such attacks by organizing members in a verifiable pseudorandom structure so that an intruder cannot incorrectly modify the membership views ...
