CAIM - Context Aware Image Management

The CAIM project introduces image context-awareness as a means of supporting image-based information retrieval in distributed and mobile environments. An image can be associated with multiple contexts and knowledge of these contexts can enhance the quality of the information retrieval process. We believe that context-awareness can be used for identifying image semantics and relationships, and may thus contribute to closing the semantic gap between user information requests and the shortcomings of current content-based image retrieval techniques.

CAIM is a project supported by the Research Council of Norway under the VERDIKT programme. It is a joint project between University of Tromsø, University of Bergen, NTNU, and Telenor R&D Tromsø.

LongRec

LongRec - Records Management over Decades

LongRec is a research project on persistent, reliable and trustworthy long-term archival of digital documents, with emphasis on availability and use of documents. The particular problems addressed by LongRec typically emerge when document lifetime exceeds 20 years, and LongRec imposes no upper limit on the lifetime.

The main objectives for the LongRec partners are:

  1. To enable transition to digital original documents and digital work processes for information that must be available and in use over decades, and
  2. To explore the potential for commercial products/services in this area. LongRec is performed in cooperation with DNV, NR, and a number of business partners.

M3W - Model-driven support for Multi-channel Mobile Work

The project will develop and evaluate a prototype process support system for mobile work built on top of existing components. The mobile work system prototype will be:

  • Model-driven to support rapid tailoring of work processes to utilise technology changes and to reflect changing requirements at the organisation, group and user levels.
  • Multi-channel to support coordinated use of multiple types of mobile devices and other computing equipment in a single work process

MOSES - MOdel driven SErvice development for the Semantic web

MOSES focuses on increasing the users' abilities to easily express what information and services they need, and to enable service providers to specify services in a manner that is compatible with users' models of the world.

The MOSES project investigates and demonstrates the utility of the semantic web approach as a viable approach to building user-centered, decenteralized, and universally interoperable solutions.

NSEP - The Norwegian EHR Research Centre

NSEP is a multidisciplinary research centre gathering faculty, researchers, projects and doctoral students from medicine, computer science, sociology, nursing, linguistics, management and then some... Currently (2007) the centre hosts 7 senior faculty, 4 researchers/postdocs, and around 20 PhD students. Colocated with NSEP is IDI´s reconfigurable healthcare usability laboratory, in which it is possible to simulate and test mobile and other clinical information systems.

NSEP does research within all aspects of the electronic health record, including user interfaces, architecture, representation, content, analysis, distribution, use, evaluation, development and role in delivering and improving quality and efficiency of health care.

The Norwegian Research Council funds the project with MNOK 25. See their project description

Pocmap - Point-Of-Care Multi-Aware clinical Pilot

The objective of the project is to develop information technology that makes optimal use of the available interaction devices and knowledge about the care situation to give cooperating clinicians in the ward access to the most relevant clinical information and functionality at each point and situation of care.

The project is a "KMB"-project funded by the Verdikt-program of the Norwegian Research Council, DIPS AS, The Industrial Research Fund for NTNU, Central Norway Regional Health Authority.

The project is a cooperation between NSEP, DIPS AS, St. Olav Hospital and Akershus University Hospital.

SArt

SArt - Art and Software

Art finds expression in numerous products in society, where developments of products are complex, competitive, global and intercultural in scope. The advent of multi media technology has changed art production processes and the way both music, video, and figurative is fruited by consumers. Our assumption is that the interaction between software technology and art is also beneficial for the software technologists.

This project confronts the interdisciplinary problem of integrating software designs originating from different academic genre into better products for society. The research method will be based on empirical software engineering and will benefit from the interaction with experts from different disciplines, like artists.
