1. 11. How a ship´s bridge knows its position - ECDIS assisted accidents from a contemporary human factors perspective

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Mads Ragnvald Nielsen; [2016]
   Keywords : engineering; cognitive systems; Human and technology interaction; accident prevention; systems safety; interaction design; safety by design FLMU06; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The technological artifacts used in ship navigation have undergone substantial changes during the last decades, and real-time digital navigation is a reality with the introduction of the ECDIS. Despite the obvious merits of this new navigation mode, and the imagined improvement in safety that it theoretically should bring, ECDIS has in recent years been associated with several accidents.

3. 12. Design and Development of a Virtual Reality Application to Introduce Gesture-Based Interaction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

   Author : Johan Källberg; [2016]
   Keywords : Design Development Virtual Reality Gesture-Based Interaction Hand Tracking; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis provides insight into the development of Virtual Reality(VR) applications with the purpose of introducing users to a new gesture interaction platform. Gesturebased interaction and VR are two rapidly evolving technologies with a great potential to complement each other. READ MORE

4. 13. Work and Safety in Small to Medium-Sized Air Traffic Control Towers : A Study of Distributed Cognition and Resilience

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Oscar Linger; [2016]
   Keywords : Air Traffic Control; Distributed Cognition; Resilience; DiCoT; Resilience Markers;

   Abstract : Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a safety-critical system which places high demands on air traffic controllers’ (ATCO) multitasking abilities. Having the requisite information for well-informed decision making is central, and as new technologies such as remote towers demand an increase in capacity, efficiency, and safety there is a need for research that informs system development.

5. 14. Minimum hardware SfM/SLAM for sparse data point mapping of retail stores

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Daniel Falk; [2016]
   Keywords : structure from motion; simultaneous localization and mapping; generalized imaging device; camera pose estimation; sparse data; point clouds; path planning; artificial intelligence; intelligent agent; line following; navigation; computer vision; cognitive science; stroke width transform; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This report aims to compare methods that can be used to efficiently and accurately map digital price labels position in 3D space using a mobile robotic platform equipped with camera vision in a retail environment. The robotic platform built during the project uses four wide angle cameras to cover the full circular view in the horizontal plane. READ MORE

6. 15. Trade-Offs Under Pressure: Heuristics and Observations Of Teams Resolving Internet Service Outages

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : John Allspaw; [2015]
   Keywords : cognitive systems engineering; internet services; outages; process tracing; heuristics; diagnosis; disturbance management; anomaly response; FLMU06; Technology and Engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The increasing complexity of software applications and architectures in Internet services challenge the reasoning of operators tasked with diagnosing and resolving outages and degradations as they arise. Although a growing body of literature focuses on how failures can be prevented through more robust and fault-tolerant design of these systems, a dearth of research explores the cognitive challenges engineers face when those preventative designs fail and they are left to think and react to scenarios that hadn’t been imagined.
