The project “Arson - a societal problem” has been running with funding from a number of players since 2008. The project consists of a number of sub-projects and the work presented in this report was conducted within the sub-project: "Technical- and risk-based methods to prevent and mitigate the consequences of arson". In this report a cost-benefit analysis of several different technical systems ar
This paper deals with the question how urban crises – whether political, economic, financial, environmental or social – are defined, constructed, or discursively and materially appropriated by urban elites to serve their agendas of urban reform. Inspired by the work of Klein (2007), Smith (2005) and others, it will be argued that specific ‘emergency’ framings of urban decline, impoverishment, disa
How much is "anti" in the "anti-globalization" movement? And how much is "pro", and for what? In this paper I will analyze some common features, and divisions between organizations in the so called anti-globalization movement, with focus on the political articulations and different ways of political struggle. How is a common identity and a common adversary of the disparate movements constructed wi
Computing systems are becoming more and more complex and powerful. It is nowadays even possible to run several server applications on the same platform, i.e., virtual servers. This has given rise to a need for resource reservation techniques so that tasks do not interfere with each other. This paper presents a scheduling environment that facilitates the possibility to create virtual CPUs and CPU-b
In the area of adapting/constructing homes and workplaces for the physically disabled, a computer-based planning tool has been prototyped and evaluated. The prototypes so far have been based on Macintosh computers and commercially available 3-D modeling and multimedia programs. Six case-studies formed the basis for user-oriented prototyping and evaluation. The present prototype was found useful in
This paper presents on-going research on the production of knowledge in contemporary professional digital encyclopaedias. By adopting a theoretical perspective that considers the interplay of humans, non-humans and practices at the same level, it develops further a socio-technical perspective on knowledge production. Methodologically, the project involves an ethnographic study staring from two edi
