This thesis covers the design, implementation and evaluation of a configuration tool for process oriented Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programming. In addition it will examine if and how a process network can be used to control sensors and communication channels on an UAV in flight. NORUT-IT is currently developing a sensor platform based on UAVs. The mission computer software they have at the ...

The duration of video playlists, might be a problem when watching on mobile devices, while on the go. We are exploring the problem of how to reduce the size of a video playlist, while maintain the important parts of the videoclips in the playlist. We have designed algorithms that automatically can cut down a playlist by cutting the duration of clips or sometimes even removing clips. We have shown ...

Existing networked filesystems are usually either client/server - allowing storage only on one node - hard to use, or both. The advanced ones also like to use their own on-disk format, complicating migration both ways. Skynet attempts to remedy this. It is a distributed filesystem with master/slave redundancy that is easy to use, relatively safe for your data and can be easily converted to/from ...
