  2. 1. Knowledge Bases and the Geography of Innovation

    Author : Roman Martin; CIRCLE; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic geography; regional innovation systems; learning regions; differentiated knowledge bases; knowledge networks; social network analysis; Scania; Sweden;

    Abstract : Despite the ongoing globalisation of economic activities, innovation does not take place randomly distributed over space, but concentrates in certain locations. A central argument to explain the spatial concentration of innovation activities lies in the ability of geographical proximity to facilitate interactive learning and knowledge exchange, which in turn is seen as an important driver for regional growth and prosperity.

  4. 2. A Methodology for Identifying Transformation Pathways for Industrial Process Clusters: Toward Increased Energy Efficiency and Renewable Feedstock

    Author : Roman Hackl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; process integration; district heating; energy efficiency; biorefinery; total site analysis;

    Abstract : The European process industry is facing major challenges. Modern, large-scale production facilities in other parts of the world are often more efficient. Furthermore, limited access to inexpensive shale gas from North America has led to an additional disadvantage for the European industry. READ MORE

  6. 4. Crowdsensing-driven Route Optimisation Algorithms for Smart Urban Mobility

    Author : Petar Mrazovic; Mihhail Matskin; Anne Håkansson; Josep Luis Larriba-Pey; Roman Dumitru; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smart cities; smart mobility; urban mobility; mobile crowdsensing; route journey planning; route optimisation; heuristic algorithms; smarta städer; smart rörlighet; rörlighetsavkänning; mobil publikmätning; ruttplanering; ruttoptimering; heuristiska algoritmer; Ciudades inteligentes; movilidad inteligente; mobile crowdsensing; planificación de viajes rutas; optimización de rutas; algoritmos heurísticos; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Urban mobility is often considered as one of the main facilitators for greener and more sustainable urban development. However, nowadays it requires a significant shift towards cleaner and more efficient urban transport which would support for increased social and economic concentration of resources in cities.

  7. 5. Learning visual perception for autonomous systems

    Author : Gustav Häger; Michael Felsberg; Per-Erik Forssén; Fahad Shahbaz Khan; Roman Pflugfelder; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer vision; visual object tracking; tracking; machine learning; deep learning;

    Abstract : In the last decade, developments in hardware, sensors and software have made it possible to create increasingly autonomous systems. These systems can be as simple as limited driver assistance software lane-following in cars, or limited collision warning systems for otherwise manually piloted drones. READ MORE
