(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2006:147, Doctoral thesis, 2006)The theme of this research is mobile transaction processing systems, focusing on versatile data sharing mechanisms in volatile mobile environments. The rapid growth of wireless network technologies and portable computing ... -
Accelerating Sparse Linear Algebra and Deep Neural Networks on Reconfigurable Platforms
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:1, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Regardless of whether the chosen figure of merit is execution time, throughput, battery life for an embedded system or total cost of ownership for a datacenter, today’s computers are fundamentally limited by their energy ... -
Accelerating the Regina Network Flow Simulator on Multi-core Systems
(Doctoral Theses at NTNU, 1503-8181; 262, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Emerging multi-core processors, which came as a result of manufacturers inability to keep increasing the frequency of single core processors, represent a great but also challenging opportunity to accelerate compute-intensive ... -
Access Control in Healthcare Information Systems
(Doctoral Theses at NTNU, 1503-8181; 2009:24, Doctoral thesis, 2009)Access control is a key feature of healthcare information systems. Access control is about enforcing rules to ensure that only authorized users get access to resources in a system. In healthcare systems this means protecting ... -
Adapting Requirements Specification Techniques for Mobile Information Systems
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:171, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Mobile Information Systems technologies provide capabilities for using/handling information on the move and the motto has become anytime and anywhere computing. Thus, mobility-related requirements have become vital, but ... -
Adaptive Mobile Work Processes in Context-Rich, Heterogeneous Environments
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2005:229, Doctoral thesis, 2005)The rapid evolution in ubiquitous technologies has increased the demand and enabled for computational support of work anywhere, anytime. Mobility implies migrating computer systems from relatively static physical environments ... -
Adoption of Open Source Software in Software-Intensive Industry
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:76, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Context: Open source software (OSS) has seen significant adoption, and it has changed not only how software-intensive companies develop and make money on software, but also how they select and acquire software. As a ... -
Algorithmic and Scheduling Techniques for Heterogeneous and Distributed Computing
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2007:49, Doctoral thesis, 2007)The computing and communication resources of high performance computing systems are becoming heterogeneous, are exhibiting performance fluctuations and are failing in an unforeseeable manner. The Master-Slave (MS) paradigm, ... -
An efficient solution to inexact graph matching with application to computer vision
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2007:164, Doctoral thesis, 2007)Graph matching is considered the recognition step in computer vision. Our work uses attributed relation graphs (ARG’s) for image representation and analysis, a structural description that we enhance with the complete and ... -
