There are three mechanisms for coordinating work in an organization: mutual adjustment, direct supervision and standardization (of processes, output skills and norms). They are all substitutions for each other and they are all important for software development. Different types of organizations...

Web service technologies are becoming increasingly important for integrating systems and services. There is much activity and interest around standardization and usage of web service technologies. Contemporary web services are described in the Web Service Description Language (WSDL). However, WSDL...

It is common knowledge that incidents and accidents often are caused by failures of operational barriers. The Risk level project has demonstrated this clearly for hydrocarbon leaks. A concept study of) Operational Safety condition (OTS) has been prepared in 2006. The purpose of the OTS system is to...

In large scale emergencies with many casualties, personnel require an updated view of the situation at all times to contribute effectively to the rescue operation.   Experience from full scale field exercises shows that the tools available today - mainly paper forms and radio communication - do not...

Different methods of sensitivity analysis for thermal design and monitoring problems are described and applied on furnace liningproblems. The methods used in this work are based on utilizing finite differences and sensitivity equations; the former being code non-invasive while the latter class of...

Analysis of stream-line-based formulations is exercised to develop a stream-line based semi-analytical model for the single-well push-pull test, taking into account natural ground-water drift. The model is employed to calculate the time of breakthrough for clean water and the end-time of tracer...

To design usable mobile applications, exploiting context changes is of vital importance. The rapid context changes in a mobile setting cause the need for flexible and adaptive user interfaces that are multitasking and possibly exploiting multiple modalities. Implementing adaptive user interfaces...
