The paper will present ongoing work in the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry in Norway about “Telemedicine of the future in the O&G industry” in collaboration with St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim Norway, Medical Imaging Laboratory, NTNU, Institute for Energy Technology...

Modern software applications are distributed and often operate in dynamic contexts, where requirements, assumptions about the environment, and usage profiles continuously change. These changes are difficult to predict and to anticipate at design time. The running software system should thus be able...

A thorough understanding of the safety risks of a system requires an understanding of its human and organizational factors, as well as its technical components. Analysis approaches that focus only on the latter without considering, for example, how human decision makers may respond to a technical...

A large number of multiscale methods have been developed based on the same basic concept: Solve localized flow problems to estimate the local effects of fine-scale petrophysical properties. Use the resulting multiscale basis functions to pose a global flow problem a coarser grid. Reconstruct...

This paper considers Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) in the context of snake robot locomotion. NMPC is an optimal control technique that offers the ability of handling constraints although requiring relatively significant computational resources. In detail, we show how NMPC can be...

The behaviour of a single sub-millimetre-size water drop falling through a viscous oil while subjected to an electric field is of fundamental importance to industrial applications such as crude oil electrocoalescers. Detailed studies, both experimental and computational, have been performed...

The ability to run and manage multi-clouds applications (i.e., Applications that run on multiple clouds) allows exploiting the peculiarities of each cloud solution and hence improves non-functional aspects such as availability, cost, and scalability. Monitoring such multi-clouds applications is...

Synchronization of time is essential for correlation of sensor data. For body area network the sensors are distributed over multiple sensor nodes located on different parts of the body. When collecting sensor data using wireless sensor networks, the delay variation can be up to 1000 milliseconds...
