Water-induced landslides pose a great risk to the society in Norway due to their high frequency and capacity to evolve in destructive debris flows. Hydrological monitoring is a widely employed method to understand the initiation mechanism of water-induced landslides under various climate conditions. Hydrological monitoring systems can provide relev...

Autonomous cars have been researched since the 1980s and has created significant interest in both the research and commercial communities. Terminology is in the process of being standardized and the concept of the operational design domain has been proposed to define the capabilities of the car's driving automation system. Autonomous and unmanned s...

In a previous paper we have suggested that the transferal of human accountability from an on-site human actor (such as the captain) to a remote human actor (such as the creator of the autonomous control system) could be regarded as the defining characteristic of autonomous systems. In this paper we take this approach one step further, by suggesting...

5G, the next generation of mobile networks, aims to deliver wireless connectivity for new applications beyond traditional connectivity and mobile broadband for the smartphone market. For the maritime industry, 5G has the potential to address a wide range of usage scenarios within ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and onboard communication. In this paper...

Several authors and organisations have over the last 40 years suggested various ways to describe different levels of automation. In this paper we give an introduction to some of the most relevant models and present some of the challenges faced when using them. Furthermore, we suggest a new definition for autonomy, based on responsibility instead o...

The use of wireless sensor networks has enabled the process industry to collect a vast amount of hitherto unknown data by making physical monitoring of the underlying processes and equipment practically and economically possible. Wireless communication has led to new applications in the field of wireless process automation which in the past were su...

While sensors traditionally have required the use of wires, their wireless counterparts have become increasingly popular since the ratification of the WirelessHART and ISA100.11a specifications. Within water and wastewater, it is expected that these wireless technologies might find first use within asset monitoring, paving the way for the implement...

IEEE Std. 802.15.4 for low-rate wireless personal area networks has been the enabling technology for applications within the field of wireless instrumentation, with the oil and gas industries being an early adopter of the technology. The idea behind the presented work is that the water and wastewater industries can take advantage of technology and...

The IEEE 802.11/a/b/g specifications for wireless local area networks (WLAN), the IEEE 802.15.4 specification for low-rate wireless personal area networks, and radio-frequency identification (RFID) specifications have enabled a wide range of wireless applications such as wireless networking, wireless sensing, monitoring and control, and asset and p...

The management of agri-food supply chains is a complex task, being not less complicated through the increasing globalisation of agri-food markets. Together with globalisation comes harsh competition on price, increasing variety of products, longer transport distances and more complicated supply chains. Due to several food scandals the latest decade...

Adaptive coded modulation is a promising idea for bandwidth-efficient transmission on time-varying, narrowband wireless channels. On power limited Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, lowdensity parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of errorcontrol codes which have demonstrated impressive errorcorrecting qualities, under some conditions p...

Adaptive coded modulation is a promising idea for bandwidth-efficient transmission on time-varying wire-less channels. On power limited Additive White Gaus-sian Noise (AWGN) channels, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of error-control codes which have demonstrated impressive error-correcting qual-ities, under some conditions perform...

Abstract Wireless mobile channels suer from time-varying channel conditions, and are commonly modelled as multipath fading channels. Systems using adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) have been introduced to increase spectral eciency,on such channels. An ACM system can be designed by segmenting a (slow) fading channel into time slots, and using an...
