2. 1. Architecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare : A Database-Centric Approach

   Author : Wagner Ourique de Morais; Bertil Svensson; Nicholas Wickström; Diego López-de-Ipiña González-de-Artaza; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Smart environments; system architectures; active databases; in-database processing; ambient assisted living;

   Abstract : The development of system architectures and applications for smart homes and ambient assisted living has been the main activity of a number of academic and industrial research projects around the world. Existing system architectures for smart environments usually employ different architectural styles in a multi-layer logical architecture to support the integration and interoperation of heterogeneous hardware and software technologies, which are subsequently used to provide two major functionalities: monitoring and assistance.

4. 2. Multi-oriented Symplectic Geometry and the Extension of Path Intersection Indices

   Author : Serge de Gosson de Varennes; Andrei Khrennikov; Ernst Binz; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Symplectic geometry; algebraic topology; mathematical physics; Maslov index; Conley-Zehnder index; Leray index path intersection indices.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : Symplectic geometry can be traced back to Lagrange and his work on celestial mechanics and has since then been a very active field in mathematics, partly because of the applications it offers but also because of the beauty of the objects it deals with.I this thesis we begin by the simplest fact of symplectic geometry.

5. 3. Forward and Inverse Decision-Making in Adversarial, Cooperative, and Biologically-Inspired Dynamical Systems

   Author : Inês de Miranda de Matos Lourenço; Bo Wahlberg; Karinne Ramirez-Amaro; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Decision-making is the mechanism of using available information to develop solutions to given problems by forming preferences, beliefs, or selecting courses of action amongst several alternatives. It is the main focus of a variety of scientific fields such as robotics, finances, and neuroscience. READ MORE

6. 4. Learning from Interactions : Forward and Inverse Decision-Making for Autonomous Dynamical Systems

   Author : Inês de Miranda de Matos Lourenço; Bo Wahlberg; Sandra Hirche; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intelligent systems; autonomous decision-making; Reinforcement Learning; Markov models; Human-Robot Interaction; Biologically-inspired systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Decision-making is the mechanism of using available information to generate solutions to given problems by forming preferences, beliefs, and selecting courses of action amongst several alternatives. In this thesis, we study the mechanisms that generate behavior (the forward problem) and how their characteristics can explain observed behavior (the inverse problem). READ MORE

7. 5. Benefit Design, Retirement Decisions and Welfare Within and Across Generations in Defined Contribution Pension Schemes

   Author : Yuwei Zhao de Gosson de Varennes; Per Johansson; Edward Palmer; Tommy Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NDC; ageing population; life expectancy projection; Lee-Carter Model; benefit design; social gap in life expectancy; rate of change in mortality; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : Essay 1 (with Juha Alho and Edward Palmer): All around the world, public pension schemes are moving in the direction of non-financial (NDC) and financial defined contribution (DC) schemes.  Both rely on accurate projections of life expectancy in the creation of annuities. READ MORE
