- 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 deployment of a prototype of a messaging platform that is evolutionary, self-organizing, self-healing, scalable and secure.
- Gallup 2
- Together with TNS Gallup and NRK Broadcasting, we developed a system for conducting self-assisted survey methods for mobile platforms in this project, leading to excellent results which received a best-paper award in an international conference by the World Association of Opinion and Marketing Research.
- ICT for an Inclusive Working Environment
- Survey of working environments with regard to ICT challenges, and proposals for remedies of the problems found.
- IVIS ― Including Visually Impaired in the Social Web
- Accessible, usable, and user-centric social media, tailored in particular to visually impaired users
- Jusfone ― A Smartphone for Everyone
- Evaluation of a smartphone prototype that is targeted at people over 60 years of age.
- 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.
- LOKDEM ― Practical user experiences with location technology in dementia
- A user survey to evaluate friendliness, usability, usefulness and other personal experiences regarding localization technology for dementia patients.
- 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.
- Manneråk +5
- Re-evaluation of a study on barriers for individuals with disabilities
- MARIAGE ― Making Rich Media Accessible for Generations
- How will we pass on our digital memories ― photos, videos, multimedia ― on to our descendants in the "digital family album" of the digital age?
- MobileSage ― Situated Adaptive Guidance for the Mobile Elderly
- A project to provide elderly people with context-sensitive, personalized and location-sensitive tools that allow them to carry out and solve everyday tasks in the self-serve society when and where they occur, “just-in-time.”
- MOVIS ― Performance Monitoring System for Video Streaming Networks
- The project used a viewer panel to evaluate quality reduction on streaming media. Certain parameters were modified, and the viewers' reaction documented. Based on these results a weighted formula of the parameters was developed. The implementation shows service providers the changing quality of service.
- OSIRIS ― Open Source Infrastructure for Run-time Integration of Services
- The OSIRIS project developed an Open Source architecture for run time integration of services. The architecture is based on the OSGi framework. The architecture introduce several extensions to this framework, such as security, adaptability, administration and support for multimedia.
- Personas ― Virtual ICT users
- Challenges of cognitively impaired users in daily-life situations and remedies
- PETweb ― Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) for Web-Based Services
- How will privacy and identity be protected in government-wide e-services?
- PETWeb II ― Privacy-Respecting Identity Management for E-Norway
- Addressing societal challenges concerning the future of electronic identifiers and electronic identities, touching topics like crime ("identity theft"), long-term privacy implications, and fundamental rights such as informational self-determination.
- 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.
- 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 aim 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.
