This master thesis was performed at IdaInfront AB. The aim of the thesis was toinvestigate how the design principles ofthe user interface in Windows 8 can beapplied to a case management system. Theuser interface in Windows 8 is based ona design language called Metro and it isprimarily designed for touch screens.Ida Infront AB wanted to know whatpossibilities and limitations the Metrointerface offers.The study has resulted in a prototypeapplication that is developed in Windows8. The prototype shows how the Metrointerface can be applied on a casemanagement system. Some limitations inthe usability have been identified inthe Metro interface when applied to acase management system. The mainlimitation is that it is difficult todisplay a lot of information at the sametime in Metro applications. The abilityto display a lot of information isimportant when IT systems are used tosupport decision making. The Metrointerface also offers several newfeatures that are usable for a casemanagement system, such as semanticzoom, notifications, so called tiles andbuilt in functionality of sharingcontent between applications.

Företaget Kerfi AB i Norrköping är en leverantör av informationsteknik och har bland annat specialistkompetens inom service management. För detta använder de programvara från företaget CA technologies. CA Service Desk Manager är en så kallad IT Service Management applikation med processer för samordning och styrning av service management. Under inledande diskussioner kom det fram att även om programvaran har varit i bruk under flera år så finns det fortfarande problem med användargränssnittet. Uppgiften består i att analysera användargränssnittet ur ett användbarhetsperspektiv för att kunna ta fram förslag på olika lösningar till programvarans påpekade brister. För insamling av data användes en expertutvärdering vilket omfattade en heuristisk utvärdering och en consistency inspection. Dessa metoder kompletterades med intervjuer och enkäter för att få fram användarnas åsikter och synpunkter om programvaran. Examensarbetet har resulterat i en samling av förslag till sådant som kan förbättras för de delar av användargränssnittet där brister har upptäckts.

The unit for information security and IT architecture at The Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) conducts work with a cyber range called CRATE (Cyber Range and Training Environment). Currently, simulation of user activity involves scripts inside the simulated network. This solution is not ideal because of the traces it leaves in the system and the general lack of standardised GUI API between different operating systems. FOI are interested in testing the use of artificial user agent located outside the virtual environment using computer vision and the virtualisation API to execute actions and extract information from the system. This paper focuses on analysing the reliability of template matching, a computer vision algorithm used to localise objects in images using already identified images of said object as templates. The analysis will evaluate both the reliability of localising objects and the algorithms ability to correctly identify if an object is present in the virtual environment. Analysis of template matching is performed by first creating a prototype of the agent's sensory system and then simulate scenarios which the agent might encounter. By simulating the environment, testing parameters can be manipulated and monitored in a reliable way. The parameters manipulated involves both the amount and type of image noise in the template and screenshot, the agent’s discrimination threshold for what constitutes a positive match, and information about the template such as template generality. This paper presents the performance and reliability of the agent in regards to what type of image noise affects the result, the amount of correctly identified objects given different discrimination thresholds, and computational time of template matching when different image filters are applied. Furthermore the best cases for each study are presented as comparison for the other results. In the end of the thesis we present how for screenshots with objects very similar to the templates used by the agent, template matching can result in a high degree of accuracy in both object localization and object identification and that a small reduction of similarity between template and screenshot to reduce the agent's ability to reliably identifying specific objects in the environment.

Inom 3D-grafik, visualiseringar, spel och VR finns ett behov av måttriktig modellering. Traditionellt så används CAD-program för att uppnå ett exakt eller precist resultat. Men då CAD-program inte utmatar polygonal geometri så fungerar det inte att använda resultatet direkt i tidigare nämnda kategorier. Denna studie ämnar att underlätta måttriktig polygonal modellering i Autodesk Maya genom ett tillägg i form av ett grafiskt användargränssnitt. Effektiviteten av detta mäts genom tidtagning på modellering av CAD-ritningar i polygoner hos en testgrupp både med och utan tillägget samt en kvalitetskontroll där resultatet jämförs med specifikationen. Medelresultatet av testgruppens användning av tillägget var en förbättring i tidsåtgång gentemot endast Maya. Geometrin hade även bättre måttriktighet.

L’ordre hospitalier du Saint-Esprit a eu l’Hôpital du Saint-Esprit de Rome pour maison centrale en 1208. Il est né à Montpellier vers 1188, fondé par Gui probable frère cadet de Guilhem VIII, qui lui donna ses Institutions et le développa en lien avec le commerce de la ville et les alliances des Guilhems, Aragon et Bourgogne, avant même d’obtenir d’Innocent IIIla protection pontificale en 1198. Ne pouvant obtenir une église à Montpellier, l’ordre fut finalement institué en 1204 par Innocent III dans l’église Sainte Marie in Saxia de Rome, avec union de la maison de Montpellier et de l’hôpital que le pape y fonda alors. Sa règle fortement inspirée de celle de Saint Jean de Jérusalem instituait un accueil généraliste, la sortie en ville à la recherche des malades et une communauté mixte, dans un mode de vie reconnu par Innocent III régulier sans être monastique ni canonial. Les abus des partisans du comte de Toulouse à partir des privilèges amenèrent la désunion des maisons en 1217 et un laborieux processus de réorganisation dans un contexte d’avancée du contrôle royal dans le Midi. La connaissance de l’expansion dans l’espace de la France actuelle pâtit du manque de sources et de nombreux faux accumulés à l’instigation de l’Etat royal aux XVII e et XVIII e siècles. L’ordre n’y comptait que trente-cinq hôpitaux et quelques annexes. Son développement fut bloqué par les conflits entre le Siège Apostolique et les couronnes de France et d’Aragon, mais il fut important dans l’Empire et réel dans les territoires Plantagenêt. A la fin du XIII e siècle il était toujours un modèle, sans participation connue de ses religieux aux dérives joachimites. / The Holy Ghost Hospital of Rome was given to the Hospitaller Order of the Holy Ghost as central house in 1208. This order appeared in 1198 in Montpellier, founded by Gui probably younger brother of Guilhem VIII, who gave it its Institutions and developed it linked with the city trade and Guilhems alliances, Aragon and Burgundy, before he obtained from Innocent III the pontifical protection. As he could not obtain a church in Montpellier, the order was finally instituted in 1204 by Innocent III in the church of Saint Mary in Saxia of Rome, at once with union of both Montpellier's house and hospital that the pope founded there and then. Its rule, strongly influenced by Knights Hospitaller's own rule, instituted a general welcome, rounds in town searching for sick people and a mixed community, in a way of life recognized by Innocent III as regular but distinct from monks or canons proper rules. The partisans of the counts of Toulouse committed misuses on the pretext of the privileges, which brought houses disunity in 1217 and an arduous process of reorganization in the context of royal control advancement across southern France. The knowledge of expansion in the area of present France suffers from the lack of sources and from many false documents accumulated at instigation of Royal State during XVII and XVIII centuries. Theorder counted then only thirty-five hospitals and a few annexes. Its development has been jammed with conflicts between the Holy See and the kingdoms of France and Aragon, but remained significant in the Empire and actual in Plantagenet territories. In the end of XIII century it was still a model, without any participation known to Joachimites drifts.

This thesis describing basic concepts and parts of OFDM modulator, showing their implementation in Matlab. It’s focused on how to use USRP with Matlab to create fully functional OFDM modulator.

Subject of this effort is development and realization of one-channel data acquisition unit of mechanical quantities and it’s PC software application. Usage of this data acquisition unit is aimed on applications, where resistive strain gages wired as Wheatstone bridge with AC excitation are used. Output voltage of Wheatstone bridge is amplięed, demodulated with excitation voltage, filtered and level shifted for analog to digital conversion via AD converter. Converted digital data are sent via serial bus into microprocessor which sends them into PC for further meaningful representation in software application. Besides sensing bridge output voltage, data acquisition unit also generates AC excitation of Wheatstone bridge. This excitation voltage is generated via DA converter which communicates with microprocessor and converts incoming digital data into analog sine waveform. There is precise voltage reference circuitry for both of these converters. PC application’s task is to visualize measured data in meaningful form and to give tools for further work with measured data. It’s programmed in Python language and it has one independent thread which does reading and computing of incoming data and there is also class which builds graphical user interface and plots measured data into live graph.
