4. 22. Public Sector Open Data : Shaping an arena for innovation and value creation

   Author : Josefin Lassinantti; Debra Howcroft; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Informationssystem; Information Systems; Informatik; Social Informatics;

   Abstract : This research initially sprung out of a natural curiosity for the emerging phenomenon of open data with its combination of democratic perspectives, since it is based on freedom of information legislation, and its potential for a multitude of citizen driven innovations. Research showed that while open data repeatedly was being envisioned for having immense potential of leading to a multitude of innovations and societal impacts, most of the attention still remained on challenges related to enable a broad realisation of open data, that is, putting more data on the web.

5. 23. Team activities in concept development : Addressing open-ended problems

   Author : Johan Wenngren; Pasi Tyrväinen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Informationssystem; Information Systems; Effective innovation and organisation AERI ; Effektiv innovation och organisation FOI ; Enabling ICT AERI ; Möjliggörande IKT FOI ; Intelligenta industriella processer FOI ; Intelligent industrial processes AERI ;

   Abstract : The concept development stage is a fundamental part of the development process; in this early stage, teams define what constitutes the problem and find direction for the subsequent problem-solving activities. Concept development that searches for innovative results starts from a problem formulation, or design brief, that should not be too precise; keeping parts open for interpretation and alternatives is important for allowing for the possibility to create new solutions.

6. 24. The open absorption system : energy savings in different applications

   Author : Lars Johansson; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The open absorption system is a technique that makes it possible to recover energy in different processes using moist air. In most applications the latent heat in moist air is difficult to recover because of the low temperature. Processes using outdoor air to carry away moisture therefore have high energy demands.

7. 25. Railway Open System Tribology

   Author : Yezhe Lyu; Ulf Olofsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wheel; Rail; Brake; Environmental conditions; Tribology; Noise; Particle; Hjul; Räl; Broms; Miljöförhållanden; Tribologi; Ljud; Partiklar; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Tribology in the railway system is of increasing interest in the new railway era due to the demand for higher speed and load capacity. Since railway vehicles operate in an open environment, their performance depends greatly on temperature, humidity and natural and artificial contaminants. READ MORE
