Towards a multilevel ant colony optimization
(Master thesis, 2014)Ant colony optimization is a metaheuristic approach for solving combinatorial optimization problems which belongs to swarm intelligence techniques. Ant colony optimization algorithms are one of the most successful strands ... -
Towards a playful approach to learning collaboration
(Master thesis, 2022)This thesis looks into whether soft skills and group comprehension can be af- fected by playing a game designed for this purpose. If students can gain group work experience by playing. We developed a game for this purpose. ... -
Towards a playful approach to learning collaboration
(Master thesis, 2022)This thesis looks into whether soft skills and group comprehension can be affected by playing a game designed for this purpose. If students can gain group work experience by playing. We developed a game for this purpose. ... -
Towards an integrated approach to emergency management: interdisciplinary challenges for research and practice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This article presents an interdisciplinary vision for large-scale integrated emergency management that has been inspired by the transition from platform centric to inte-grated operations in the oil and gas fields, which ... -
Towards Automated Human Identification Using Dental X-ray Images
(Master thesis, 2015)Systems for automated human identification from dental X-ray images can be used to greatly reduce the necessary effort spent today by dental forensics experts. In this work a new methodology is proposed to create a system ... -
Towards Data-Driven Modelling of Saulekilen Wastewater Treatment Plant based on Artificial Intelligence
(Master thesis, 2019)The processes at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) are complex systems thatclean the wastewater before it is released into the environment. Total phosphorous(TP), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen ... -
Towards Detecting Textual Plagiarism Using Machine Learning Methods
(Master thesis, 2015)Textual plagiarism is passing off someone else’s text as your own. The current state of the art in plagiarism detection performs well, but often uses a series of manually determined thresholds of metrics in order to ... -
Towards Efficient Use of Cement in Ultra High Performance Concrete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper presents an investigation on substituting the cement content with an inert material, in a typical locally produced UHPC mix. A structured literature review was performed to enrichen the discussion and to benchmark ... -
Towards farm-level health management of offshore wind farms for maintenance improvements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Towards Improved Healthcare Performance: Examining Technological Possibilities and Patient Satisfaction with Wireless Body Area Networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)This paper investigates the benefits of using less intrusive wireless technologies for heart monitoring. By replacing well established heart monitoring devices (i.e. Holter) with wireless ECG based Body Area Networks (BAN), ... -
Towards intelligent and trustworthy task assignments for 5G-enabled industrial communication systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With the unprecedented prevalence of IIoT and 5G technology, various applications supported by industrial communication systems have generated exponentially increased processing tasks, which makes task assignment inefficient ... -
Towards Responsible AI for Financial Transactions
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)The application of AI in finance is increasingly dependent on the principles of responsible AI. These principles-explainability, fairness, privacy, accountability, transparency and soundness form the basis for trust in ... -

Towards Thompson Sampling for Complex Bayesian Reasoning
(Doctoral Dissertation at the University of Agder; no. 275, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Thompson Sampling (TS) is a state-of-art algorithm for bandit problems set in a Bayesian framework. Both the theoretical foundation and the empirical efficiency of TS is wellexplored for plain bandit problems. However, the ... -
Towards Using Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Docking of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
(Communications in Computer and Information Science;1600, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)Providing full autonomy to Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) is a challenging goal to achieve. Autonomous docking is a subtask that is particularly difficult. The vessel has to distinguish between obstacles and the dock, and ... -
Tracking mobile robot in indoor wireless sensor networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This work addresses the problem of tracking mobile robots in indoor wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Our approach is based on a localization scheme with RSSI (received signal strength indication) which is used widely in ... -
Tracking the preferences of users using weak estimators
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science;7106, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2011)Since a social network, by definition, is so diverse, the problem of estimating the preferences of its users is becoming increasingly essential for personalized applications which range from service recommender systems to ... -
