  6. 19. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training

    Author : Magnus G. Eriksson; Jan Wikander; Ingela Nyström; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; surgical simulation; virtual reality; haptic feedback; surgical training; medical simulators; metrics; 3D visualization; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

  7. 20. Towards Measurable and Tunable Security

    Author : Reine Lundin; Simone Fischer-Hubner; Stefan Lindskog; Viiveke Fåk; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tunable security; security measures; metrics; entropy; guesswork; privacy; anonymity; selective encryption; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Many security services today only provides one security configuration at run-time, and cannot then utilize the trade-off between performance and security. In order to make use of this trade-off, tunable security services providing several security configurations that can be selected at run-time are needed. READ MORE
