With the rapid development of information technology, applications referring to the Internet of things are booming. Applications that gather information from sensors and affect the context environment with actuators can provide customized and intelligent behaviour to users. These applications have become widely used nowadays in daily life and have initiated the multi-dimensional range query demand referring to the Internet of things. As the data information is fully distributed and the devices like sensors, mobile phones, etc., has limited resources and finite energy, supporting efficient range query is a tough challenge. In this paper, we have proposed a distributed range query framework for Internet of things. In order to save energy costs and reduce the network traffic, we suggest a reporting data range mechanism in the sensing peers, which choose to report a data range and report again only when the peer senses an abnormal data instead of the common moving data method. In addition, we selected some strong peers to be used as the super peers to create a data index by collecting the reporting data range, which will be used for performing range queries. The study has shown that our proposal framework could reduce resource costs in the less strong peers like sensors and mobile phones, and reduce network traffic among all the peers within the network, as well as support a range query function. According the evaluation results, the reporting data range method could greatly reduce the data migration times and save energy costs, and the data index could significantly reduce accessing unnecessary peers and diminish the network traffic.

No / The merger of the Internet of Things (IoT) with cloud computing has given birth to a Web of Things (WoT) which hosts heterogeneous and rapidly varying data. Traditional access control mechanisms such as Role-Based Access schemes are no longer suitable for modelling access control on such a large and dynamic scale as the actors may also change all the time. For such a dynamic mix of applications, data and actors, a more distributed and flexible model is required. Token-Based Access Control is one such scheme which can easily model and comfortably handle interactions with big data in the cloud and enable provisioning of access to fine levels of granularity. However, simple token access models quickly become hard to manage in the face of a rapidly growing repository. This paper proposes a novel token access model based on a cascading permissions policy model which can easily control interactivity with big data without becoming a menace to manage and administer.

Yes / Web of Things (WoT) can be considered as a merger of newly emerging paradigms of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing. Rapidly varying, highly volatile and heterogeneous data traffic is a characteristic of the WoT. Hence, the capture, processing, storage and exchange of huge volumes of data is a key requirement in this environment. The crucial resources in the WoT are the sensing devices and the sensing data. Consequently, access control mechanisms employed in this highly dynamic and demanding environment need to be enhanced so as to reduce the end-to-end latency for capturing and exchanging data pertaining to these underlying resources. While there are many previous studies comparing the advantages and disadvantages of access control mechanisms at the algorithm level, vary few of these provide any detailed comparison the performance of these access control mechanisms when used for different data handling procedures in the context of data capture, processing and storage. This study builds on previous work on token-based access control mechanisms and presents a comparison of two different approaches used for handling sensing devices and data in the WoT. It is shown that the aggregated data submission approach is around 700% more efficient than the serial payload submission procedure in reducing the round-trip response time.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur dator/Internet enligt fyra lärare kan fungera som ett pedagogiskt verktyg i undervisningen gällande gymnasieskolans yrkesämnen. Tidigare forskning visar att datoranvändning fyller en viktig funktion i kunskap och lärande och att dator/Internet som verktyg i undervisning är ett sätt att förbereda elever inför deras framtida yrke. Dator/Internet ersätter inte den traditionella hantverksundervisningen med att praktiskt överföra handlaget. Däremot kan dator/Internet vara nödvändigt i vissa moment i undervisning för att uppnå den moderna tidens krav. Nyckelord: Data/Internet, IKT, IKT som verktyg i undervisning, IKT utveckling, datakunskap / The purpose with this thesis is to explore how computor / internet, according to four teachers, can function as an educational tool in the teaching at Upper Secondary Vocational Training. Earlier research has shown that the use of computor fills an important function in aquiring knowledge and learning and that computor / internet as a tool in teaching is a way to prepare the students for their future vocation. Computor / internet does not substitute the traditional teaching of the handicrafts and the practical transmition of the skill. However, the computor / internet can be necessary at certain stages in the teaching in order to reach the contemporary demands.

The purpose of my thesis is to analyse a development of technologies in comparison with the protection of personal data on the internet under law of the EU. However, it would not be possible to describe every single technology and its reflection in law of the EU. Therefore, the thesis is mainly focused on two most significant internet technologies - cookies and cloud computing. The key for selection of the most important representative technologies was especially a frequency of their use. The thesis is composed of two main chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the development of technologies in comparison with protection of personal data on the internet under law of the EU. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis under applicable law of the EU. The chapter is subdivided into two parts. Part One describes personal data and its role in applicable law of the EU. Part Two deals with the specific technologies - cookies and cloud computing. This part particularly points out risks of these technologies and provides possible solutions. Chapter Two analyzes the upcoming reform of data protection in EU. The chapter is mainly focused on proposal for General Data Protection Regulation, which could dramatically change the protection of personal data on the...
