Robust, non-intrusive human eye detection problem has been a fundamental and challenging problem for computer vision area. Not only it is a problem of its own, it can be used to ease the problem of finding the locations of other facial features for recognition tasks and human-computer interaction purposes as well. Many previous works have the capability of determining the locations of the human eyes but the main task in this thesis is not only a vision system with eye detection capability / Our aim is to design a real-time, robust, scale-invariant eye tracker system with human eye movement indication property using the movements of eye pupil. Our eye tracker algorithm is implemented using the Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift (CAMSHIFT) algorithm proposed by Bradski and the EigenFace method proposed by Turk &amp / Pentland. Previous works for scale invariant object detection using Eigenface method are mostly dependent on limited number of user predefined scales which causes speed problems / so in order to avoid this problem an adaptive eigenface method using the information extracted from CAMSHIFT algorithm is implemented to have a fast and scale invariant eye tracking. First of all / human face in the input image captured by the camera is detected using the CAMSHIFT algorithm which tracks the outline of an irregular shaped object that may change size and shape during the tracking process based on the color of the object. Face area is passed through a number of preprocessing steps such as color space conversion and thresholding to obtain better results during the eye search process. After these preprocessing steps, search areas for left and right eyes are determined using the geometrical properties of the human face and in order to locate each eye indivually the training images are resized by the width information supplied by the CAMSHIFT algortihm. Search regions for left and right eyes are individually passed to the eye detection algortihm to determine the exact locations of each eye. After the detection of eyes, eye areas are individually passed to the pupil detection and eye area detection algorithms which are based on the Active Contours method to indicate the pupil and eye area. Finally, by comparing the geometrical locations of pupil with the eye area, human gaze information is extracted. As a result of this thesis a software named &ldquo / TrackEye&rdquo / with an user interface having indicators for the location of eye areas and pupils, various output screens for human computer interaction and controls for allowing to test the effects of color space conversions and thresholding types during object tracking has been built.

This research examines new systems of information production that are made possible by participatory media. Such systems bring about two critical information literacy needs for the general public: to understand new systems in order to assess their products and to become adept participants in the construction of public information spaces. In this dissertation, I address both of these needs and propose a view of information literacy that situates the information literate as both consumer and producer. First, I examine a popular example of a new publishing system, Wikipedia, and present research that explains how the site is organized and maintained. I then turn my attention to the classroom and describe three iterations of design-based research in which I built new wiki tools to support publication activities and information literacy learning in formal educational contexts. I use the rhetorical notion of genre as an analytic lens for studying the use and impact of these new media in schools. Classroom findings suggest that the affordances of a wiki as an open, transparent publishing medium can support groups of writers in building a shared understanding of genre as they struggle with an unfamiliar rhetorical situation. I also demonstrate how writing on a public wiki for a broad audience was a particularly useful writing experience that brought about opportunities for reflection and learning. These opportunities include transforming the value of citation, creating a need to engage deeply with content, and providing both a need and a foundation for assessing information resources.

Έχει διαπιστωθεί ότι η διαχείριση και η προστασία των υδατικών πόρων στον ελληνικό χώρο βρίσκεται σε αρκετά πρώιμο στάδιο. Αν και η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση έχει εκδώσει Κοινοτικές Οδηγίες που καλύπτουν την ανάγκες ενός πλαισίου διαχείρισης αυτών από το 2000, η ένταξή τους στην ελληνική πραγματικότητα δεν έχει επιτευχθεί πλήρως μέχρι σήμερα. Ειδικότερα όσον αφορά τους υδατικούς πόρους που κατανέμονται μεταξύ δύο ή και περισσότερων διοικητικών ενοτήτων, η αειφορική διαχείριση και προστασία τους γίνεται ακόμα δυσκολότερη, καθώς στις περισσότερες των περιπτώσεων δεν είναι δυνατή η σύσταση ενιαίου φορέα διαχείρισής τους. Κρίνεται, λοιπόν, αναγκαία η συλλογή και καταγραφή των δραστηριοτήτων που φαίνεται να επηρεάζουν αρνητικά την ποιότητα των υδάτων και του γύρω περιβάλλοντος της περιοχής. Ακόμη, ιδιαίτερα βοηθητική θεωρείται η καταχώρηση αυτών σε ηλεκτρονικές βάσεις δεδομένων, ώστε να είναι ευκολότερη η συλλογική εύρεση και επεξεργασία τους. Σημαντικό μέρος των δεδομένων αυτών (π.χ. πηγές ρύπανσης) διαθέτει και χωρική πληροφορία, με συνέπεια οι βάσεις δεδομένων που θα αναπτυχθούν να ενισχύονται υποχρεωτικά με χωρικές λειτουργίες. Αυτό είναι εφικτό με τη δημιουργία χωρικών βάσεων δεδομένων, οι οποίες μπορούν να αποθηκεύουν, να διαχειρίζονται και να ανακτούν με αποτελεσματικότητα μεγάλο όγκο χωρικής πληροφορίας. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας αποτελεί ο σχεδιασμός και η υλοποίηση ενός συστήματος χωρικής βάσης δεδομένων για τη λεκάνη απορροής του Αλφειού ποταμού, καθώς η συλλογή στοιχείων για τις δραστηριότητες που αναπτύσσονται γύρω από τον ποταμό ανέδειξε σημαντικά προβλήματα ρύπανσης και υποβάθμισης της ποιότητας των υδάτων της περιοχής. Επιδιώκεται η συγκέντρωση, ανάλυση και επεξεργασία όλων των χαρακτηριστικών της περιοχής που επηρεάζουν αρνητικά τους υδατικούς πόρους και το περιβάλλον αυτής, με στόχο τον υπολογισμό των ρυπαντικών φορτίων που καταλήγουν στον Αλφειό. Στα πρώτα κεφάλαια της εργασίας παρουσιάζεται το νομοθετικό πλαίσιο σχετικά με τη διαχείριση των υδατικών πόρων σε ευρωπαϊκό και εθνικό επίπεδο, καθώς και τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά της υφιστάμενης κατάστασης της λεκάνης απορροής, τα οποία επηρεάζουν άμεσα ή έμμεσα τους υδατικούς πόρους, καθώς και ποιοι είναι αυτοί. Στη συνέχεια, πραγματοποιείται ο καθορισμός των απαιτήσεων των χρηστών και ο σχεδιασμός της βάσης δεδομένων, όπου παρατίθενται τα δεδομένα που πρόκειται να εισαχθούν στη βάση. Ακολούθως, αναλύονται οι τεχνολογίες το λογισμικό ελεύθερου και ανοιχτού κώδικα και που επιλέχθηκε για τη σύσταση της βάσης. Σε τελικό στάδιο περιγράφεται η διαδικασία υλοποίησης της βάσης και πραγματοποιείται ο υπολογισμός των ρυπαντικών φορτίων αζώτου (Ν), φωσφόρου (Ρ) και οργανικών ενώσεων μέσω της εκτέλεσης πολύπλοκων και σύνθετων ερωτημάτων επί των δεδομένων με χρήση της Γλώσσας Δομικής Αναζήτησης (SQL). / It has been established that the management and protection of water resources in Greece is at a very early stage. Even though the European Union issued EU Directives that cover the needs of such a management framework since 2000, the integration into the Greek reality has not been fully achieved so far. In particular regarding water resources allocated between two or more administrative units, the sustainable management and protection becomes even more difficult, since in most cases a single management structure is unable to be established. Therefore, the collection and recording of activities that seem to adversely affect the quality of the water and the surrounding environment of the region is necessary. Still, particularly auxiliary is the inclusion on electronic databases, so it is easier to find collective and edit them. An important part of such data (e.g. pollution sources) has spatial information, so the databases will be developed in order to be assisted with spatial functions required. This is possible by creating spatial databases that can store, manage and retrieve efficiently large volumes of spatial information. The purpose of this thesis is the design and implementation of a system of a spatial database for the catchment area of the River Alfeios (Alpheus). As the collection of data on the activities developed around the river showed, there are significant problems of pollution and degradation of water quality in the region. It is pursued the collection, analysis and processing of all the features of the area negatively affecting water resources and the environment, in order to estimate pollutant loads, resulting in Alfeios. In the first chapters of the thesis are presented the legislative framework for the management of water resources at European and national level and the basic characteristics of the existing situation in the catchment area, which directly or indirectly affect water resources and what they are. Then, take place the setting of user requirements and the design of the database, in which the data are going to be imported. Next, analyzes the technologies, as well as the free and open source software chosen for the establishment of the base. At the final stage, the implementation process of the base is described and the calculation of pollutant loads of nitrogen (n), phosphorus (p) and organic compounds through the execution of complex and compound queries on data using Structural Query Language (SQL).

Technological advancements in mass spectrometry allowing quantification of almost complete proteomes make proteomics a key platform for generating unique functional molecular data. Furthermore, the integrative analysis of genomic and proteomic data, termed proteogenomics, has emerged as a new field revealing insights into gene expression regulation, cell signalling, and disease processes. However, the lack of software tools for high-throughput integration and unbiased modification and variant detection hinder efforts for large-scale proteogenomics studies. The main objectives of this work are to address these issues by developing and applying new software tools and data analysis methods. Firstly, I address mapping of peptide sequences to reference genomes. I introduce a novel tool for high-throughput mapping and highlight its unique features facilitating quantitative and post-translational modification mapping alongside accounting for amino acid substitutions. The performance is benchmarked. Furthermore, I offer an additional tool that permits generation of web accessible hubs of genome wide mappings. To enable unbiased identification of post-translational modifications and amino acid substitutions for high resolution mass spectrometry data, I present algorithmic updates the mass tolerant blind spectrum comparison tool ’MS SMiV’. I demonstrate the applicability of the changes by benchmarking against a published mass tolerant database search of a high resolution tandem mass spectrometry dataset. I then present the application of ‘MS SMiV’ on a panel of 50 colorectal cancer cell lines. I show that the adaption of ‘MS SMiV’ outperforms traditional sequence database based identification of single amino acid variants. Furthermore, I highlight the utility of mass tolerant spectrum matching in combination with isobaric labelled quantitative proteomics in distinguishing between post-translational modifications and amino acid variants of similar mass. In the last part of this work I integrate both tools with a high-throughput proteogenomic identification pipeline and apply it to a pilot study of chondrocytes derived from 12 osteoarthritic individuals. I show the value of this approach in identifying variation between individuals and molecular levels and highlight them with individual examples. I show that multi-plexed proteogenomics can be used to infer genotypes of individuals.

This thesis is about techniques for proving the functional correctness of Abstract Data Type (ADT) implementations. We provide a framework for proving the functional correctness of imperative language implementations of ADTs, using a theory of refinement. We develop a theory of refinement to reason about both declarative and imperative language implementations of ADTs. Our theory facilitates compositional reasoning about complex implementations that may use several layers of sub-ADTs. Based on our theory of refinement, we propose a methodology for proving the functional correctness of an existing imperative language implementation of an ADT. We propose a mechanizable translation from an abstract model in the Z language to an abstract implementation in VCC’s ghost language. Then we present a technique to carry out the refinement checks completely within the VCC tool. We apply our proposed methodology to prove the functional correctness of the scheduling-related functionality of FreeRTOS, a popular open-source real-time operating system. We focused on the scheduler-related functionality, found major deviations from the intended behavior, and did a machine-checked proof of the correctness of the fixed code. We also present an efficient way to phrase the refinement conditions in VCC, which considerably improves VCC’s performance. We evaluated this technique on a simplified version of FreeRTOS which we constructed for this verification exercise. Using our efficient approach, VCC always terminates and leads to a reduction of over 90% in the total time taken by a naive check, when evaluated on this case-study.

Introdução: A Atenção Básica do Sistema Único de Saúde SUS é definida pelo Ministério da Saúde como um conjunto de ações e serviços de saúde no âmbito individual e coletivo, desenvolvidos com práticas gerenciais, sanitárias e sociais participativas, através de ações complexas nos cuidados e atenção à saúde da população do seu território e fundamentada nos princípios da universalidade, integralidade e da eqüidade. Os sistemas de informática em saúde da atenção básica são tecnologias estratégicas na gestão e governança sobre a situação de saúde da população em cada nível de responsabilidade sanitária. O cerne de funcionamento dos sistemas de informática é o software. A literatura pesquisada relata que os softwares dos sistemas de informática em saúde apresentam vários aspectos: inflexibilidade para mudanças, altos custos, baixa eficácia, são frágeis em relação à segurança e a privacidade, não adotam padrões tecnológicos e de saúde, apresentam dificuldades na escalabilidade, são refratários a adaptações às culturas e línguas locais e induzem ao aprisionamento tecnológico dos sistemas de informação em saúde. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi o de identificar e analisar quais são as contribuições e limitações do software livre para os sistemas de informática e informação na atenção básica do SUS. Metodologia: Estudo de caso exploratório e qualitativo, comparando dois municípios que utilizam software livre e software privativo nos sistemas de atenção básica do SUS, a partir de critérios obtidos na literatura pesquisada. Resultados: A utilização de software livre nos sistemas de atenção básica do SUS de Campinas e São Paulo apresentou limites nos seguintes tópicos, utilizados como critérios de análise: educação, segurança, privacidade e padrões abertos. A utilização do software livre demonstrou vantagens para os municípios estudados nos seguintes tópicos: custos, escalabilidade, autonomia tecnológica, adaptação do software ao idioma e à cultura local, estabilidade e impacto na qualidade dos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: O software livre é uma alternativa tecnológica viável, robusta e flexível e oferece novas perspectivas para a construção de sistemas de informática e informação da Atenção Básica em saúde / The Primary Health Care of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) is defined by the Health Ministry as a set of actions and services in the individual and collective scopes developed through managerial sanitary and social participative practices by means of complex actions in the attention and care of thee health of the population within their territory based on the principles of universality, integrality and equity . The health informatics system of the basic attention are strategic tools of management and managery of the health status of the population at each level of sanitary responsibility. The core of operation of the informatics system is the software .The researched literature reports the health and informatics system software to present inflexibility for change, high cost and low efficacy, fragility concerning privacy and safety, lack of technological and health patterns and difficulties in scalability . The software is also depicted as being refractory to local languages and cultures, and to induce technological trap of the health informatics systems. Within this context the aim of the study was the identification and analysis of the contributions and limitations of free software for the informatics and information systems of the primary health of SUS. METODOLOGY: Exploratory qualitative study comparing two municipalities making use of free software and private software in their SUS primary health system based on the criteria obtained from the literary review.

A presente tese tem como objetivo produzir subsídios para a construção de um referencial teórico-metodológico sobre a utilização dos objetos de aprendizagem no contexto das comunidades virtuais auto-organizadas para a produção de software livre e de código aberto. Utiliza-se como metodologia a etnografia virtual (HINE, 2000) em conjunto com a teoria analítica da ação mediada (WERTSCH, 1991) e a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2000). A coleta de dados foi efetuada, em duas fases, nos fóruns de discussão de quatro (4) comunidades, além de uma comunidade incubadora de desenvolvimento de projetos de software livre e de código aberto. Constata-se que os objetos de aprendizagem mediam o processo de solução de problemas, uma vez que 100% dos problemas da amostra analisada foram resolvidos, apesar da ausência de um padrão de conformidade desses objetos. Esta limitação é superada em razão do perfil específico imperante dos membros ativos da comunidade, pois estes possuem elevado nível de comportamento colaborativo/cooperativo, iniciativa voluntária, desprendimento, obstinação, capacidade de autoaprendizagem, autonomia, independência, disciplina, responsabilidade e comprometimento com prazos, qualidade dos produtos e outras exigências estabelecidas pela comunidade. Outro fator de relevância é que as comunidades são ricas em interação humana, o que qualifica o processo do significado da mediação e o ambiente de colaboração, nas ações referentes à localização, montagem e contextualização dos objetos de aprendizagem. Os significativos resultados atingidos por estas comunidades têm impactado, sobremaneira, as grandes organizações de produção de software, levando-as a rever suas estratégias corporativas, boas práticas de desenvolvimento, gestão de pessoas, equipes e projetos. Por outro lado, infere-se que a sustentabilidade de tais comunidades não pode estar assentada somente em atributos e habilidades pessoais, principalmente pelo fato de que a localização dos objetos de aprendizagem para a solução de problemas baseia-se no conhecimento tácito de seus membros. Necessário se faz agregar inovações na forma e funcionalidade de tais comunidades (padrão de conformidade, métodos e ferramentas tecnológicas), com vistas a possibilitar uma efetiva e universal acessibilidade do conhecimento produzido para a solução mais eficiente dos problemas, bem como incorporar membros com comportamentos e habilidades diversos. Os resultados desta pesquisa contribuem para as inovações futuras, no campo teórico e prático, na definição de um padrão de conformidade para a especificação, indexação, uso, combinação e avaliação dos objetos de aprendizagem, além de motivar a mudança de comportamento, cultura e forma de aprender. / The present thesis aims to produce subsidies for the development of a theoreticalmethodological referential on the use of learning objects in the context of self-organized virtual communities for the development of free and open source software. The methodologies used were the virtual ethnography (HINE, 2000), together with the mediated action analytical theory (WERTSCH, 1991) and content analysis (BARDIN, 2000). Data was collected in two phases: from the discussion forums of (4) four communities, and from an incubator community for the development of free and open source software projects. The learning objects appear to mediate the problem solution processes, since all the problems of the analyzed sample were solved, despite the lack of a standard of compliance of those objects. This limitation is overcome due to the specific dominant profile of the active members of the community, who display a high level of collaborative behavior, voluntary initiative, detachment, obstinacy, auto-learning capacity, autonomy, independence, discipline, responsibility and commitment to deadlines, product quality and other requirements established by the community. Another relevant aspect is that the communities are abundant in human interaction, what qualifies the mediation significance process and the collaborative environment in the actions referring to location, assembling and contextualization of the learning objects. The meaningful results obtained by those communities have led great software production organizations to review their corporate strategies, good developmental practices, staff, people and project management. On the other hand, it is inferred that the sustainability of those communities can not be maintained only by personal attributes and abilities, specially because the location of the learning objects for problem solution is based on the tacit knowledge of their members. It is necessary to aggregate innovation into the nature and functionality of those communities (standard compliance, technological methods and tools), to not only enable an effective and universal accessibility to knowledge leading to more efficient problem solution, but also to incorporate members with diverse behavior and abilities. The results of the present research contribute to future innovation in both theoretical and practical fields in the definition of a pattern of conformity for the specification, indexation, use, combination and evaluation of learning objects, in addition to motivating a change of behavior, culture and way of learning.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural paradigm that allows building of infrastructures for diverse application interaction and integration via services across different platforms, domains of technology and locations. SOA differs from traditional architectures, as it focuses on integrating capabilities that are distributed and implemented using a mixture of technologies. SOA provides a set of methodologies and strategies to accomplish interoperability and integration among different technology stacks.   Vattenfall is the fifth the largest energy supplier within Europe. Having operational systems in different countries brings the challenge of integrating all these distributed systems and this integration is a vital requirement for Vattenfall. The company is currently using Microsoft proprietary products to achieve integration across different technological platform, but requires a better integration infrastructure which is easily extensible and cost effective.   This thesis investigates the impact of implementing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using open source or proprietary software products within Vattenfall, from technological and financial perspectives. For this purpose, different technical and non-technical function blocks are identified which are essential for the implementation of SOA. These function blocks are mapped with SOA solutions provided by Red Hat’s JBoss Open Source SOA Platform and Microsoft’s SOA Platform. After mapping, a vendor specific technical and non-technical comparative analysis is carried out based on the function blocks, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each vendor.   Finally, an evaluation scheme is purposed based on the technical comparative analysis of vendors, SOA solution cost and SOA competence required. The results from this evaluation scheme are used to recommend the best solution vendor for Vattenfall Nordic. Moreover, this evaluation scheme can also be used to facilitate management in arriving at an appropriate decision about implementation of SOA, while remaining within their requirements and constraints.

Ett icke trivialt IP-nätverk består av många noder som är förbundna med varandra genom olika typer av transmissionsmedier. Man kan föreställa sig nätverket som ett moln av noder och förbindelser. Nätverksvisualisering handlar om att kika in i molnet och snabbt få en övergripande bild över de komplexa relationer som finns i det. Genom att skapa nätverkskartor som grafiskt beskriver ett IP-nätverk kan arbetet med att övervaka och felsöka det underlättas. Telenors svenska nätverksövervakning har utvecklat ett system för att automatiskt generera nätverkskartor i formatet SVG. De har ställt frågan om det går att göra dessa interaktiva och koppla ihop dem med befintliga verktygsprogram. Denna rapport visar exempel på tekniker, baserade på öppen källkod och öppna standarder, som kan användas för att utveckla ett system som gör nätverkskartor i dokumentformatet SVG interaktiva i en webbläsare. Problemet att göra nätverkskartorna interaktiva analyseras och olika lösningsalternativ tas fram och jämförs med varandra. Ett system baserat på öppen mjukvara och öppna standarder utvecklas för att visa hur de redovisade teknikerna kan användas i praktiken. Systemets arkitektur beskrivs i tre systemvyer. Nätverkskartorna berikas med bindningar mellan händelser i webbläsaren och JavaScript-funktioner genom att transformera dem med XSLT. Användargränssnittet utgörs av SVG-objekt och JavaScript varifrån det går att asynkront anropa program på en webbserver. Systemet saknar kopplingar till Telenors verktygsprogram. Flera CGI-skript skapas som visar att det från webbservern går att anropa externa program. Det finns inga funktionella begränsningar som hindrar systemet från att kopplas ihop med verktygsprogrammen. Det implementerade systemet kan användas som en grund för att vidareutveckla ett mer komplett system för interaktiv visualisering av IP-nätverk. Systemets funktionalitet avgränsades och har enabart utvecklats för att fungera väl i webbläsaren Firefox. Om systemet ska användas i skarp miljö måste det impementeras stöd för de populäraste webbläsarna. Systemet innehåller inga funktioner rörande säkerhet, till exempel saknas krypterad förbindelse mellan klient och server. Rapporten avslutas med test och utvärdering av systemet och förslag ges på hur det kan förbättras.

För att upptäcka defekta luftmunstycken har Ecco Finishing AB i Skara tagit fram en ny provutrustning som ska ersätta en otillförlitlig och osäker befintlig provmaskin. Ecco Fi-nishing AB vill hitta en tillförlitlig och säker mätmetod som ska mäta mängd vatten i 50 provrör. Examensarbetets övergripande mål är att hitta en noggrann och repeterbar mätmetod för nivåmätning av vätska i provrören. Två mätmetoder utvärderades som är mest lämpliga för nivåmätningen, visionsystem och mätning genom vägning. Anledningen till att valet ham-nade på dessa två mätmetoder är provutrustningens provrör, dels att det är många mätpunkter och för att det är små provrör. Det gjordes tjugo experiment för visionsystem och tjugo ex-periment för vägningsmetod för att utvärdera och beskriva för - och nackdelar. Experimenten av visionsystem och vägning gjordes först i laborationsfas för att sedan testas på företagets befintliga provutrustning. Resultaten av mätningar sparades i ett Excel-ark som användes för att utvärdera insamlade data. Utvärderingarna jämfördes mot uppsatta mål, tillförlitlighet, noggrannhet, repeterbarhet, automatisk rapportering av resultat och tid för mätningen. Vis-ionsystem rekommenderas för fortsatt arbete och implementation på den befintliga provut-rustningen. / To detect defective air nozzles, Ecco Finishing AB in Skara has developed a new test equip-ment to replace an unreliable and uncertain existing test machine. Ecco Finishing AB wants to find a reliable and safe measurement method that will measure the amount of water in 50 test tubes. The overall goal of the thesis is to find a precise and repeatable measurement method for level measurement of fluid in the test tubes. Two measurement methods were evaluated that are most suitable for level measurement, vision systems and measurement by weighing. The reason for the choice of these two measurement methods is the test tubes of the test equipment, and that there are many measuring points and because of the small test tubes. Twenty experiments for vision systems and twenty experiments for weighing method were made to evaluate and describe pros and cons. The experiments of vision systems and weighing were first made in the laboratory phase and then tested on the company's existing test equipment. The results of measurements were saved in an Excel sheet used to evaluate collected data. The evaluations were compared to set goals, reliability, accuracy, repeatabil-ity, automatic reporting of results and time of measurement. Vision systems are recom-mended for continued work and implementation on the existing test equipment.
