2. 1. Wireless Sensor Networks for Development : Potentials and Open Issues

   Author : Marco Zennaro; Björn Pehrson; Andreas Kassler; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

   Abstract : Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide a way to bridge the gap between the physical and the virtual worlds. They promise unprecedented abilities to observe and understand large-scale, real-world phenomena at a fine spatial-temporal resolution. READ MORE

4. 2. Supporting loose forms of collaboration : Using Linked Data to realize an architecture for collective knowledge construction

   Author : Hannes Ebner; Marko Turpeinen; Ambjörn Naeve; John Breslin; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; linked data; collaboration; information model; contribution; application architecture; web application; web standards; www; open world assumption; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology; Media Technology; Medieteknik; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : This thesis is driven by the motivation to explore a way of working collaboratively that closely reflects the World Wide Web (WWW), more specifically the potential of the Web architecture built on Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data. The goal is to describe a generic approach and architecture that satisfies the needs for loose collaboration and collective knowledge construction as exemplified by the applications described in this thesis.

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four self-contained essays.Essay 1 studies the implications of relaxing the assumption that the elasticity of international substitution is constant over time horizons, through the modeling of habit formation. READ MORE

6. 4. Change detection in metal oxide gas sensor signals for open sampling systems

   Author : Sepideh Pashami; Achim Lilienthal; Marco Trincavelli; Giorgio Sberveglieri; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metal oxide sensors; Open Sampling System; change point detection; gas dispersion simulation; environmental monitoring; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of detecting changes in the activity of a distant gas source from the response of an array of metal oxide (MOX) gas sensors deployed in an Open Sampling System (OSS). Changes can occur due to gas source activity such as a sudden alteration in concentration or due to exposure to a different compound. READ MORE

7. 5. The unseen in between: Unpacking, designing, and evaluating sustainability-oriented labs in real-world contexts
