Full textThe Mass Evacuation (MASSVAC) model was originally developed for analysis and evaluation of evacuation plan in a specific area facing natural disasters. It was later applied to deal with the problems of evacuation around nuclear power stations (MASSVAC 3.0). The purpose of this model is to simulate the network clearance time and evacuation routes. In the process, it employs the Dial's or the all-or-nothing method to assign the traffic on to the network.
The major effort in this research is to include the user equilibrium assignment method to reduce the evacuation times and to improve highway network performance. Evacuation routes, number of links used, and evacuation times etc. are found to be influenced by the user equilibrium assignment method. Transportation System Management (TSM) strategies have also been incorporated in this enhanced model (MASSVAC 4.0) to improve the network performance during evacuation. The trip distribution process and the shortest path algorithm has been modified appropriately to suit the user equilibrium assignment.

Full textFörståelse för hur användare interagerar med ett företags tjänst är essentiell för data-drivna affärsverksamheter med ambitioner om att bättre tillgodose dess användare och att förbättra deras utbud. Generativ maskininlärning möjliggör modellering av användarbeteende och genererande av ny data i syfte att simulera eller identifiera och förklara typiska användarmönster. I detta arbete introducerar vi ett tillvägagångssätt för storskalig modellering av användarinteraktion i en klientservice-modell. Vi föreslår en ny representation av multivariat tidsseriedata i form av tidsbilder vilka representerar temporala korrelationer via spatial organisering. Denna representation delar två nyckelegenskaper som faltningsnätverk har utvecklats för att exploatera, vilket tillåter oss att utveckla ett tillvägagångssätt baserat på på djupa generativa modeller som bygger på faltningsnätverk. Genom att introducera detta tillvägagångssätt för tidsseriedata expanderar vi applicering av faltningsnätverk inom domänen för multivariat tidsserie, specifikt för användarinteraktionsdata. Vi använder ett tillvägagångssätt inspirerat av ramverket β-VAE i syfte att lära modellen gömda faktorer som definierar olika användarmönster. Vi utforskar olika värden för regulariseringsparametern β och visar att det är möjligt att konstruera en modell som lär sig en latent representation av identifierbara och multipla användarbeteenden. Vi visar med verklig data att modellen genererar realistiska exempel vilka i sin tur fångar statistiken på populationsnivå hos användarinteraktionsdatan, samt lär olika användarbeteenden och bidrar med precisa imputationer av saknad data.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: At a social, ecological and biological level it is important tha t we gain a better understanding of species distribution and the constraints to species distribution. Various modelling tools and approaches are available to provide this type of functionality. The GARP (Genetic Algorithm for Rule set Production) Modelling System (GMS) was selected because of its strong predictive modelling abilities and its ability to represent the results of model iterations in both a tabular and cartographic manner. A shortcoming in this system was identified in tha t it requires strong information technology skills in order to carry out the modelling process. This can be attributed to the lack of a user-friendly interface to the system. In order to address this a loosely coupled system was developed that provides an easy to use web-based front end to the GMS. This Integrated Modelling System extends the core functionality of the GMS by providing a system that provides detailed history for each analysis, allows fine tuning of the modelling process, integrates directly with a biodiversity database containing specimen observations, and provides a simple ‘wizard’ interface to the modelling process.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Van ’n sosiale, ekologiese en biologiese standpunt is dit belangrik dat ons spesies verspreiding en die beperkings daarvan verstaan. ’n Verskeidenheid sagteware pakkette en metodologiee is beskikbaar om spesies verspreiding te modelleer. Die GARP (Genetic Algorithm for Rule set Production) sagteware was gebruik vir sy sterk voorspellingsvermoe, en sy kapasiteit vir kartografiese en tubulere tentoonstelling van model resultate. ’n Tekortkoming met hierdie stelsel was gei'dentifiseer - dit is nie gebruikersvriendelik nie en gebruikers het sterk informasie tegnologie vermoens nodig. Om hierdie tekortkominge aan te spreek was ’n sagteware program ontwerp wat van GARP gebruik maak deur middel van ’n webblaaier. Hierdie ge'integreerde stelsel bou op die basiese funksionaliteit van GARP om ’n werk omgewing te skep wat ’n gedetailleerde geskiedenis van elke model stoor, fyn beheer oor die model toelaat, direk met ’n bio diver siteits databasis koppel, en van ’n eenvoudige ’wizard’ stelsel gebruik maak om gebruikers opsies te bepaal.

Full textUbiquitous computing (Ubicomp) increases in proliferation. Multiple and ever growing in numbers, computational devices are now at the users' disposal throughout the physical environment, while simultaneously being effectively invisible. Consequently, a significant challenge is service discovery. Services may for instance be physical, such as printing a document, or virtual, such as communicating information. The existing solutions, such as Bluetooth and UPnP, address part of the issue, specifically low-level physical interconnectivity. Still absent are solutions for high-level challenges, such as connecting users with appropriate services. In order to provide appropriate service offerings, service discovery in Ubicomp must take the users' context, tasks, goals, intentions, and available resources into consideration. It is possible to divide the high-level service-discovery issue into two parts; inadequate service models, and insufficient common-sense models of human activities.
This thesis contributes to service discovery in Ubicomp, by arguing that in order to meet these high-level challenges, a new layer is required. Furthermore, the thesis presents a prototype implementation of this new service-discovery architecture and model. The architecture consists of hardware, ontology-layer, and common-sense-layer. This work addresses the ontology and common-sense layers. Subsequently, implementation is divided into two parts; Oden and Magubi. Oden addresses the issue of inadequate service models through a combination of service-ontologies in concert with logical reasoning engines, and Magubi addresses the issue of insufficient common-sense models of human activities, by using common sense models in combination with rule engines. The synthesis of these two stages enables the system to reason about services, devices, and user expectations, as well as to make suitable connections to satisfy the users' overall goal.
Designing common-sense models and service ontologies for a Ubicomp environment is a non-trivial task. Despite this, we believe that if correctly done, it might be possible to reuse at least part of the knowledge in different situations. With the ability to reason about services and human activities it is possible to decide if, how, and where to present the services to the users. The solution is intended to off-load users in diverse Ubicomp environments as well as provide a more relevant service discovery.

Full textIn den letzten Jahren sind emotionsbezogene Anwendungen, wie Apps, die die Emotionen des Nutzers dokumentieren und analysieren, sehr populär geworden. Ebenfalls in der Forschung sind Emotionen in einem sehr technologiegetriebenen Ansatz ein Thema. So auch ortsbezogene Emotionen, die sich somit kartographisch darstellen lassen und auf verschiedene Art und Weisen gewonnen werden können. Das Forschungsvorhaben der Dissertation befasst sich mit der Extraktion von georeferenzierten Emotionen aus geschriebener Sprache unter Verwendung von Metadaten verorteter Flickr- und Panoramio-Fotos, d.h. aus nutzergenerierten Inhalten, sowie deren Modellierung und Visualisierung. Motivation hierfür ist die Einbindung einer emotionalen Komponente in ortsbasierte touristische Dienste, da diese bisher nur faktische Informationen berücksichtigen, obwohl Orte durchaus eine emotionale Wirkung haben. Die Metadaten dieser nutzergenerierten Inhalte stellen Beschreibungen des auf dem Foto festgehaltenen Ortes dar. Die dafür verwendeten Wörter besitzen affektive Konnotationen, welche mit Hilfe emotionaler Wortlisten ermittelt werden. Die Emotion, die mit dem jeweiligen Wort in der Wortliste assoziiert wird, wird anhand der zwei Dimensionen Valenz und Erregung beschrieben. Die extrahierten Emotionen bilden zusammen mit der geographischen Koordinate des jeweiligen Fotos eine georeferenzierte Emotion. Der zur Extraktion dieser Emotionen entwickelte Algorithmus bringt verschiedene Ansätze aus dem Bereich der Computerlinguistik zum Einsatz und berücksichtigt ebenso grammatikalische Sonderfälle, wie Intensivierung oder Negation von Wörtern. Der Algorithmus wurde auf einen Datensatz von Flickr- und Panoramio-Fotos von Dresden angewendet. Die Ergebnisse stellen eine emotionale Raumcharakterisierung dar und ermöglichen es, spezifische Eigenschaften verorteter Emotionen festzustellen und zu untersuchen. Diese Eigenschaften beziehen sich sowohl auf die zeitliche Abhängigkeit und den zeitlichen Bezug von Emotionen, als auch darauf, dass zwischen kollektiv und individuell wahrgenommenen Emotionen unterschieden werden muss. Das bedeutet, dass ein Ort nicht nur mit einer Emotion verbunden sein muss, sondern möglicherweise auch mit mehreren. Die Auswertung erfolgte mithilfe verschiedener kartographischer Visualisierungen. Eingehender wurde das zeitliche Auftreten der ortsbezogenen Emotionen untersucht. Der Fokus der Dissertation liegt somit auf der Grundlagenforschung zur Extraktion verorteter Emotionen aus georeferenzierten nutzergenerierten Inhalten sowie deren Visualisierung. Im Ausblick werden jedoch weitere Fragestellungen und Schwerpunkte genannt, die sich im Laufe der Untersuchungen ergeben haben, womit gezeigt wird, dass dieses Forschungsgebiet bei Weitem noch nicht ausgeschöpft ist
