The project aim was description of Google Wave basic elements and creation of sample Wave extensions, demonstrating capabilities of the communication protocol. The first extension (robot) was developed using client libraries in Java. The second extension (gadget) shows another approach of Google Wave extensions, based on XML, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Denna rapport avhandlar ett arbete inom ämnet datavetenskap och handlarom utvecklingen av ett system för att studera restidkvoten för sträckor somtrafikeras av Västtrafik, som är en av Sveriges största regionalakollektivtrafikmyndigheter. Restidskvoten anges som förhållandet mellanrestiden med kollektivtrafik och att resa med personbil ([restidkollektivtrafik] / [restid biltrafik]). Med detta som grund har ett system föratt inhämta data om restider med hjälp av Google Maps Directions API samtberäkna restidskvoter och annan metadata utifrån denna insamlade dataskapats. Systemet används till att göra dagliga körningar och lagrar inhämtaddata i en databas hos Västtrafik. Till systemet finns också en dashboard somkan användas för att göra sökningar i databasen som byggts upp och på såsätt hämta, visualisera och analysera önskad data. Restidsdata förkollektivtrafik som erhållits från Google har i stickprov jämförts medrestidsdata från Västtrafik och även om det fanns några avvikelser så stämdede väl överens. Därav dras slutsatsen att data från Google går att använda tillatt beräkna och analysera restidskvoter.

Nyckelord: Google, Googles sökmotor, nätverksmakt, gatekeeping, political economy.

TCP is a widely used protocol for web traffic. However, TCP€™s connection setup and congestion response can impact web page load times, leading to higher page load times for users. In order to address this issue, Google came out with QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections), a UDP-based protocol that runs in the application layer. While already deployed, QUIC is not well-studied, particularly QUIC€™s congestion response as compared to TCP€™s congestion response which is critical for stability of the Internet and flow fairness. To study QUIC€™s congestion response we conduct three sets of experiments on a wired testbed. One set of our experiments focused on QUIC and TCP throughput under added delay, another set compared QUIC and TCP throughput under added packet loss, and the third set had QUIC and TCP flows share a bottleneck link to study the fairness between TCP and QUIC flows. Our results show that with random packet loss QUIC delivers higher throughput compared to TCP. However, when sharing the same link, QUIC can be unfair to TCP. With an increase in the number of competing TCP flows, a QUIC flow takes a greater share of the available link capacity compared to TCP flows.

This dissertation analyzes the legal, social, technological, and cultural environment that gave rise to Google's library partnership program in order to propose an institutional corrective to Google's project to digitize cultural heritage. Interview research done with those actively involved with Google's project revealed the need for a history of the present. The class action settlement proposed sweeping changes to copyright warranting a quick response by a community of scholars seeking to advance a balanced vision of Anglo-American copyright, one where the public benefit to use and appropriate works is weighted alongside private incentives to create. The process created the conditions for institutional renewal in the public sphere through the creation of a Digital Public Library of America. By combining archival, critical legal, and interview research methods, this dissertation provides a narrative that is both analytical and deeply contextual. Google's digitization partnership in France is contrasted with its library partners program in the United States, examining Google's work in light of competing visions of intellectual property within a trans-Atlantic context.

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become popular tool, used in different fields. The launching of Google Maps offered a new approach of building web based GIS systems; making it possible to integrate external geographically referenced data with the powerful map service supplied by Google. This thesis demonstrates the design and implementation of creating a web based geographic information system. The system is built by adapting the Google Maps API library and building a web server to display and explore agricultural data.

<p>Rapporten handlar om sökmotoroptimering för en ny webbplats. Rapporten täcker teorier och praktiska utförda experiment på webbplatsen. Syftet med rapporten var att vi skulle få mer kunskap kring sökmotoroptimering speciellt inriktad på Googles sökmotortjänst. Vi ville ta reda på hur man kan rankas så högt upp som möjligt på sökresultatssidan för specifika sökord. Då vi har läst webbprogrammering i nästan tre år utan att utbildningen gett oss några direkta kunskaper kring sökmotoroptimering föll detta som ett lämpligt val att fördjupa oss i. Metoder som täcks i denna rapport är indexering av en webbplats, rankning, PageRank, generell sökmotoroptimering och regionala skillnader på ett sökresultat hos Google. Teorier vi undersökte övergripande var om Googles sökmotor, Sandlåda Effekten, PageRank, Textlänkar, Meta taggar,Domännamn, Webbplatskartor och Webbdokumentet beträffande deras påverkan för sökmotoroptimering. Resultatet blev att webbplatsen vi sökmotoroptimerade rankades både bra och mindre bra på nyckelorden samt att webbplatsen blev generellt sökmotoroptimerad för sökmotorer. Resultatet från de praktiska experimenten blev delvis lyckade och slutsatsen blev att vi fått goda kunskaper om sökmotoroptimering av teoristudierna och det praktiska genomförandet.</p> / <p>The report is about search engine optimization for a new website. The report covers the theories and practical experiments carried out on the website. The aim of the report was that we would end up with more knowledge about SEO focused on the Google search engine service. We wanted to find out how to rank as high as possible on the search results page for each specific keyword. As we have read the web-programming in nearly three years without the studies given us any direct knowledge of SEO, this dropped as an appropriate choice to deepen ourselves in. Methods that covers in this report are the indexing of a website, ranking, PageRank, general search engine optimization and regional differences in a search results in Google. Theories we investigated was whether the overall Google search engine, Sandbox effect, PageRank, Text Links, Meta Tags, Domain Name, Site Maps, Website-document and their impact on SEO. The result was that the site was search engine optimized, we ranked both good and less good on the key words, and the website in general was SEO for search engines. The results from the practical experiments were partially successful and it was concluded that we had got good knowledge about SEO theory-studies and practical implementation.</p>

AbstractTitle: The Debate on Google Books: a critical discourse analysis of newspapers and blogs.(Debatten om Google Books. En kritisk diskursanalys av dagspress och bloggar.)Number of pages: 44 (47)Author: Karin EngströmTutor: Martin FredrikssonCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Autumn 2009University: Institution of Informatics and Media, Uppsala UniversityAim: The aim of this study is to survey the debate on Google Books in Swedish newspapers andblogs and to see if the arguments and opinions differ depending on media type and writer.Furthermore, the aim of this study is to put the debate in a bigger perspective, with the copyrightlaw, and the future of copyright law, in focus.Material/Method: 15 articles on Google Books from the two biggest Swedish newspapers, Dagensnyheter and Svenska dagbladet, and blogs discussing the articles were studied. The theoretical andmethodological scope of the study is critical discourse analysis inspired by Norman Fairclough'sthree-dimensional model.Main Results: The results of this study suggest that most authors and IT workers, as well as libraryrepresentatives, were overwhelmingly positive to Google Books, while publishers and somejournalists expressed a more skeptical point of view. The newspapers studied publishedcontributions from all sides – authors, journalists, representatives from publishing houses andlibraries, as well as workers in the IT sector. The arguments of the publishers' representatives wereallowed slightly more space in newspapers, while the blogs analyzed featured debate contributionsfrom authors and journalists. In addition to publishing representatives, also influental in the debatewere those who fall under the category of "academic discourse", such as the Royal Library'sresearch director Pelle Snickars. The arguments of the various media did not differ significantly,but as the majority of blogs were written by professional authors, there was a greater tendencytowards positive views of Google Books. The debate on Google Books in Sweden has also largelybeen about copyright, and many of the debaters are also arguing for a change in copyright thatbetter fits with today's IT society.Keywords: Google Books, Copyright, Newspapers, Blogs, Discourse
