In this paper, we present an overview of our research project with Gaia, a development infrastructure for ubiquitous applications. This infrastructure is based on three main elements: a component-based middleware operating system that provides a generic computational environment for ubiquitous computing, an application model that defines a standard mechanism to build ubiquitous applications, an...

The Norwegian banking industry has introduced a new security infrastructure for web applications, including Internet banking. The infrastructure, called BankID, has the potential to increase the security of today’s web applications and facilitate new business opportunities. The authors consider BankID from the customers’ point of view, analyze the risk the customers take when using BankID, and ...

In this paper we present a novel infrastructure for vehicular communication on highways (DAHNI) and propose some potential applications aimed at assisting drivers. Certain unique features of the envisaged infrastructure and applications result in equally unique and interesting security challenges. We discuss these challenges and outline some possible solutions.

Transportation infrastructure is vital to the well-functioning of economic activities in a region. Due digitalization data storage, ease access large databases, and advancement social media, volumes text that relate different aspects transportation are generated. Text mining techniques can explore any amount textual within limited time with resource allocation for generating easy-to-understand ...

We describe a cloud based infrastructure that we have developed that is optimized for wide area, high performance networks and designed to support data mining applications. The infrastructure consists of a storage cloud called Sector and a compute cloud called Sphere. We describe two applications that we have built using the cloud and some experimental studies.

The paper presents a blackboard infrastructure for the development of object-based image interpretation applications. The infrastructure is based on an abstract deenition of important concepts in image interpretation: data objects, relationships, algorithms, strategies, and models. Building applications with the environment is eeectuated by specializing the abstract concepts. Using abstract con...

Increasing the number of cores integrated on a chip and the problems of system on chips caused to emerge networks on chips. NoCs have features such as scalability and high performance. NoCs architecture provides communication infrastructure and in this way, the blocks were produced that their communication with each other made NoC. Due to increasing number of cores, the placement of the cores i...
