DART ― Project References

DART works on many projects for a variety of customers or project sponsors. There are three main research focus areas. Some currently running projects and their highlights are listed under each research area below. Also refer to our annual reports for an exhaustive project listing covering all departments of NR.

Information Security

PETWeb II
Privacy-respecting Identity Management for e-Norge
The project addresses societal challenges concerning the future of electronic identifiers and electronic identities. The implication of such identities range from today's crime ("identity theft") to long-term privacy implications and fundamental rights such as informational self-determination. Electronic identifiers penetrate all aspects of information systems and their contact with society - ranging from e-mail addresses up to social security numbers and electronic passports.
EUX2010SEC
Enterprise Unified Exchange Security
A research project on trust and security in free and open source software for voice-over-IP telephony based on Asterisk.
RISKnet
Norwegian and Nordic Network in Information Security and Societal Risk
The goal of Risknet is to establish a network of experts that strengthen expertise and readiness in industry, research, and society. Risknet will advance topics by providing a common meeting ground for researchers and practitioners in the field of IT security and risk management in order to identify and explore synergies between the Risknet members.
GEMOM
Genetic Message Oriented Secure Middleware
GEMOM's focus is the significant and measurable increase in the end-to-end intelligence, security, and resilience of complex, distributed information systems. The primary objective of GEMOM is to be able to rectify vulnerability to faults through researching, developing, and deploying a prototype of a messaging platform that is evolutionary, self-organising, self-healing, scalable, and secure.
LongRec
Records Management over Decades
The primary objective of this joint-industry project is the persistent, reliable and trustworthy long-term archival of digital documents, with emphasis on availability and use of documents. The particular problems addressed by the LongRec project typically emerge when document lifetime exceeds 20 years.
PETweb
Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) for Web based Services
How will privacy and identity be protected in government-wide e-services?

Universal Design

e-Vote
Accessibility and usability evaluation of the upcoming Norwegian electronic voting technology.
KogNett
Web Pages for Individuals with Cognitive Deficiencies
Producing a tutorial on how to design static and dynamic web pages in order to account for persons with intellectual deficits.
DIADEM
Delivering Inclusive Access for Disabled or Elderly Members of the Community
The goal of DIADEM is to provide an adaptable web browser interface in order to to enable people who suffer from a reduction of cognitive skills to remain active and independent members of the society.
UNIMOD
Universal Design in Multimodal User Interfaces
The main objective of the UNIMOD project is to improve the competence of multimodal, personalized user interfaces and thus to improve the accessibility and use of electronic services.
ANIME
A new paradigm for inclusive identity management
The purpose of ANIME is structured research of the state of the art and new strategies in providing inclusive identity management to service providers and users. ANIME will provide a closer analysis of identity management systems (IMS) with respect to e-inclusion. It may result in a number of open issues concerning security and privacy technologies and profiling in adaptive systems.
UU Authentication
Universal design of ICT-based solutions for registration and authentication
The project goal is to identify research challenges and needs related to universal design, accessibility, and security and privacy in present-day solutions for authentication and registration.

Multimedia

MARIAGE
Making Rich Media Accessable for Generations
How will we pass our digital memories ― photos, videos, multimedia ― on to our decendants in the "digital family album" of the digital age?
ADIMUS
Adaptive Internet Multimedia Streaming
The ADIMUS project explores streaming of multimedia over the Internet. We implement methods that adapt to service quality changes in order to maximize the end-user's subjective experience.
CREDO
Modeling and analysis of evolutionary structures for distributed services
The objective of the CREDO project is to develop an integrated suite of tools for compositional modeling, testing, and validation of software aimed at evolving networks of dynamically reconfigurable components. Two case studies are part of the project: the ASK system, and biomedical sensor networks.
SAMPOS
Strategies for Seamless Deployment of Mobile Patient Monitoring Systems
SAMPOS investigates novel design strategies for seamless deployment of mobile patient monitoring systems, focusing on low-cost, low-power, and robust/reliable and secure communication solutions.
SeSam4
Semi-semantic models for cross-sector portals
The SeSam4 project aims at establishing a framework and models for more efficient development processes of semantic based products and services, e.g. cross-domain portals. It will make two demonstrators where NR will be heavily involved in one for the tourist industry.

The Department of Applied Research in Information Technology at the Norwegian Computing Center offers applied research within multimedia, information security, universal design, and e-inclusion. Multimodality is a key strategy to usable data services, and we participate in projects handling multiple devices including mobile phones, PCs, and digital television. Our researchers have high scientific competence and broad industry experience. In addition to research our services cover concept studies, analysis, consultancy, prototyping, training, development, and evaluation.
