Public health and other agencies need situational awareness to respond effectively to disasters or other incidents. Traditional means of obtaining this information require significant time and personnel. Social media is becoming increasingly popular among American citizens, and research is demonstrating that it may be a useful tool for bolstering information about unfolding events. This research analyzed the potential of the microblogging service Twitter in providing situational awareness. Tweets from a major snowstorm affecting the state of Massachusetts were collected, coded for content, and compared to traditional public health methods. The results indicate that Twitter can provide a rich source of data for responding agencies. Still, the immense volume of conversations makes extracting useful information in a timely manner a significant challenge. Practical approaches uncovered during this research can help agencies with nascent social media surveillance programs begin to unearth the valuable information that Twitter contains. Collaboration with information technology experts could allow public health and other responding agencies to create even greater value from social media platforms.

The use of RFID technology in libraries has increased to the point where it is now the centerpiece of emerging automated self-checkout, return, and theft detection systems. With the external borders of the library secure, focus has shifted to improve the internal state of a library's collection, which is subjected daily to use and abuse by library patrons. In this thesis I present BookBot, a robot equipped with RFID readers, that automates the otherwise manual shelf-reading process and helps librarians keep their database in sync with the library's physical inventory. Experiments on single shelves and entire bookcases confirm that this robot-assisted approach to inventory management can not only detect misplaced books reliably, but accurately determine the order of the books on the shelves and even localize the coordinates of each book to within a few centimeters, enabling both the librarian and the user to reach a state of Enlightened Shelf Awareness.

Full textSituation awareness and collective intelligence are two technologies used in smart systems. The former renders those systems able to reason upon their abstract knowledge of what is going on. The latter enables them learning and deriving new information from a composition of experiences of their users. In this dissertation we present a doctoral research on an attempt to combine the two in order to obtain, in a collaborative fashion, situation-based rules that the whole community of entities would benefit of sharing. We introduce the KRAMER recommendation system, which we designed and implemented as a solution to the problem of not having decision support tools both situation-aware and collaborative. The system is independent from any domain of application in particular, in other words generic, and we apply its prototype implementation to context-enriched social communication scenario

Full textMobila telefoner gör dem ideala medel för att studera både individer och organisationar: personer bär ofta en mobil telefon med dem och använder den som ett medel för mycket av deras kommunikation. Informationen som är tillgänglig från dagens telefoner inkluderar användares läge, personer som är närliggande och kommunikation, såväl som applikationanvändning och telefon status. Målet av detta projekt är att kombinera som några av de nya teknologierna av röst över IP (VoIP) med kontextuppmärksamma servar för mobila användare och skapar en demonstrant för en typisk rutin av en studerande i Kista. Vi använde kontextuppmärksamma med SIP Express Router för att göra ett system mer intelligent för användare. I detta examensarbetet undersöker vi CPL skrifter och hur de skulle kunna exploatera kontext information för att ge den SIP tjänsten som är användbar till en studerande. Ett enkelt test förades för att mäta det över huvudet av att använda kontextuppmärksamma av den SIP proxyen när det arbetar med CPL skrifter.

Full textThe purpose of this paper was to create a primer for a security awareness program to educate senior level executives on the key aspects of cyber security. This is due to the gap area that was discovered in the lack of both executive security awareness programs, and the lack of executives that fully abide by their company's security policies. This, coupled with research showing that executives are highly targeted by attackers, was the impetus behind this project. It was determined that the content of an executive security awareness program should be similar to that of a security awareness program for all other employees, with the differences being in the delivery and time frame of each segment. Due to this, literature was reviewed on the various topics of security awareness. Research revealed the importance of capturing an executive's attention, in order to keep their interest in the program. It was recommended that individuals charged with creating an executive security awareness program begin by having one on one meetings with the executives in their company. These meetings will help assess the time constraints of their company executives as well as their current knowledge of the various security awareness topics. This will help with tailoring the program specifically to their company executives. This primer may be used by any company or organization in the beginning stages of creating their own security awareness program for executives.

In the United States, there is a widening gap between a citizen's ability to monitor his or her government and the government's ability to monitor a citizen. Average citizens have limited access to important government records, while available information is often illegible. Meanwhile, the government's eagerness and means to oversee a citizen's personal activity is rapidly increasing. As the government broadens internal surveillance, and collaborates with private institutions to access data on the public, it is crucial that we maintain a symmetry of accountability. If we believe the United States should be a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" it is of central importance to provide citizens with the power to oversee their government. At least as much effort should be spent building tools to facilitate citizens supervising their government as tools to help the government monitor individuals. In this thesis, I discuss the motivations, design, and implementation of Government Information Awareness, a citizen run database on our government. Fundamentally, this system relies on an organizational structure that accepts information from an anonymous population, stores it, and represents it with enough context to maintain legibility. My work in this thesis is offering a framework for a system that could help citizens pool their collective knowledge, and through this process, create a more informed public capable of self-rule.

Full textWhen a task becomes shared the need for coordination arises. One fundamental factor for coordination is awareness. This study aimed to answer the question of how awareness-based coordination support systems could increase the efficiency in the processing of tasks generated by the Customer Support Unit in Skellefteå municipality, ultimately creating a better work situation for the officers responsible for the handling of tasks and increasing the service level for the customers of their services. This question was answered by conducting interviews, observing system usage and through analysis of pre-existing interviews from earlier studies of the municipality’s CSU project. This study shows that there are aspects in the task management that are in need of coordination support and presents a task classification system based on the logistic nature of the task. Furthermore this paper identifies the main problems related to the current task management and from an awareness perspective discusses and outlines various mechanisms and techniques to address these problems. Alongside these problems the general lack of coordination support in the current Document and Workflow System (FlexiteBPMS) is approached. Furthermore all outlined proposals share the common aspiration of lessening the burden for the officers without simply shifting the workload onto other units in the workflow chain.

Full textNos dias que correm, os dados são um dos ativos mais importantes de uma empresa. O conceito de Business Intelligence surge precisamente como um conjunto de técnicas que permite extrair valor desses dados, transformando-os em informação. É neste contexto que se insere a execução deste projeto. Fazendo uso de um conjunto de dados, que já eram recolhidos pela empresa, e trabalhando-os, de forma a gerar informação que permita gerar impacto positivo quer nos operadores da fábrica (motivando uma competição saudável entre os mesmos, para que tenham o mínimo de paragens possíveis nas linhas de produção pelas quais são responsáveis), quer na equipa de gestão e coordenação (permitindo aferir informação disponibilizada através de indicadores de desempenho). A informação extraída a partir do processamento destes dados é disponibilizada através de dashboards para várias áreas da empresa, refletindo ocorrências verificadas nas linhas de produção, que de acordo com um conjunto de regras definidas pela equipa de gestão, devem ser evidenciadas.
Nowadays, data is one of the most important assets of a company. The Business Intelligence concept emerges precisely as a set of techniques that aim to extract value from this data, transforming it in information. It is in this context that this project execution belongs to. By making use of a set of data, that is already gathered by the company, and working it, in a way to create information that allows to generate a positive impact either on factory operators (by promoting a healthy competition among them, in order to prevent break downs as much as possible, in production lines they are responsible for) and management or coordination teams (by providing information available through performance indicators). The information extracted from this data processing is made available through dashboards, to several company areas, reflecting incidents verified in production lines, that according to a set of rules, created by the management team, should be highlighted.

Full textIn the pilot study, an estimate of the average detection threshold of movement onset delays was obtained in 17 normal control subjects (9 females, 8 males). Peripheral view of the hands was blocked. No significant differences in detection thresholds between men and women, between left and right hands, and across types of movement (all-fingers, index-finger, index-middle-finger extension) were found.
In the second study, data on detection thresholds in the absence of proprioceptive input was gathered from a patient diagnosed with sensory neuropathy of the left hand. No significant differences in detection thresholds between the affected and unaffected hand were recorded. Proprioception does not appear to be critical for awareness of movement onset delays.
In the third study, 33 normal control subjects (31 females and 2 males) performed four experimental movement conditions, two passive and two active. During the passive conditions, a lever device moved the subject's finger while their hand was either visible (PF) or hidden (PH) from view. In the active condition the subject moved their own finger while their hand was either visible (AF) or hidden (AH) from view. Detection thresholds were significantly lower during the active than the passive conditions (p < 0.01). No significant main effect of view was present. It appears that internal feedback loops, as opposed to visual feedback loops, may play a critical role in awareness of movement onset.
Taken together, data from all three studies suggest that the efferent copy plays an important role compared to visual or proprioceptive cues in the detection of movement onset delays.
