Offentlige arrangementer
Bemærk at IT-Forums arrangementer ikke er offentlige men kun for medlemmer. Aarhus Universitet er medlem af IT-Forum, hvilket betyder at medarbejdere samt de studerende der har specielle interesser i specifikke arrangementer, pg.a. opgaveskrivning inden for emnet, derfor kan komme gratis ind. Andre skal betale for det.

The talk will present the vision of an integrated system to support the multitude of different emergency response personnel during large events (as the Skanderborg Festival) and major incidents. The personnel may be police, fire fighters, security people, alarm central(s), medics, stretcher teams, electricians, etc.
The ambition is to provide a common overview and shared awareness among those groups of personnel, through integrating a range of recent developments within various pervasive computing technologies into a distributed, shared environment and interface.
Furthermore, the talk will present a range of experiments conducted during the Skanderborg Festival, 2008, in relation to crowd control, overview, people counting, distributed access to limited physical resources, etc. as well as present the first results of those experiments.
Finally, the talk will outline the plans in relation to the Festival in 2009.

Arduino, from die to real (interactive) products |
| |
Arduino is an open source hardware (OSH) platform for prototyping that is changing the way we think about creating new electronic devices. This initiative was born during a research residency of D. Cuartielles at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea. Together with M. Banzi it gave the first step towards an open strategy for design production and -by extension- open thinking about design. During this talk D. Cuartielles will introduce examples of projects both academic, artistic and commercial that were realized thanks to the use of OSH tools.
David Cuartielles is a PhD Candidate in Interaction Design at K3, Malmø University. He has co-developed the Arduino prototyping platform.
Currently runs the 1scale1 prototyping studio, owns a toy making company, and runs micro-company creation projects for the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation (AECID).
He has been a guest researcher at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, and Samsung Art and Design Institute. During 2006 he curated part of Ars Electronica festival dedicated to quick prototyping. |

Title: Studying Road Networks Through an Algorithmic Lens
Abstract:
This paper studies real-world road networks from an algorithmic perspective, motivated from empirical studies that yield useful properties of road networks that can be exploited in the design of fast algorithms that deal with geographic data. Unlike previous approaches, our study is not based on the assumption that road networks are planar graphs. Indeed, based on the number of experiments we have performed on the road networks of the 50 United States and District of Columbia, we provide strong empirical evidence that road networks are quite non-planar. Our approach therefore instead is directed at finding algorithmically-motivated properties of road networks as non-planar geometric graphs, focusing on alternative properties of road networks that can still lead to efficient algorithms for such problems as shortest paths and Voronoi diagrams. Our empirical analysis uses the U.S.~TIGER/Line road network database, as provided by the Ninth DIMACS Implementation Challenge, which is comprised of over 24 million vertices and 29 million edges. |
