Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) can considerably reduce the ventilation airflow rate and energy use for fans, heating and cooling compared to constant air volume (CAV) ventilation. Based on the new EPBD Recast directive from the EU Parliament, there is a potentially enormous upcoming marked for...

With the B2B data exchange becoming ubiquitous nowadays, automating as much as possible the exchange of data between collaborative enterprise systems is a key requirement for ensuring agile interoperability and scalability in B2B collaborations. Semantic differences and inconsistencies between...

The Service oriented architecture Modeling Language (SoaML) is a new specification from the Object Management Group (OMG) that provides support for modelling services. The SoaML specification defines three different approaches to specifying services; simple interfaces, service interfaces and service...

It is well known that decision support systems (DSSs) usually only solve models that simplify and approximate the real problem. The planners might therefore be more interested in a set of diverse high quality solutions to choose from, than in only the optimal (or near-optimal) solution to the model...

Denne rapporten beskriver resultater fra et forprosjekt finansiert av Regionale forskningsfond – Midt-Norge. Forprosjektet har vært et samarbeid mellom Trondheim kommune, Malvik kommune og SINTEF. Rapporten presenterer erfaringer fra arbeid med å danne kunnskap om og tilrettelegge for at...

Based on a study of reliability consequences of new public management (NPM) reforms in Norwegian critical infrastructure sectors, this article suggests that the discourse of work found in NPM renders essential aspects of operational work invisible – including practices that are known to be of...

We report on the stability of the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin film surface when deposited on (111)-oriented SrTiO3. For ultrathin La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films, an initial 3-dimensional morphology is observed, which becomes 2-dimensional with increasing film thickness. For even thicker samples, we show that the...
