UNIK (University Graduate Centre), (how to get to UNIK)

Roaming into Heterogenous Netwrok

Welcome to the UNIK Wiki at Kjeller. UNIK, the University Graduate Centre, is a non-profit education and research foundation. The programs are: Information and Communication Technology, Micro-electronics and Photonics, and Cybernetics and Applied Mathematics.

These pages contain information about ongoing research, participation in international projects and demonstration/prototype developments.

Master's Program

Interested in a Master's Degree in Informatics with focus on Security and Mobility (I:SIM) that combines coursework and a research project in the areas of Mobility and Networking, Information Security, and Signal Processing? Scroll down and you'll find a list of topics for a Master's project.

Further information on the Research Topics in the Communications group: Networking, Information Security and Signal Processing

National projects

• SWACOM - Secure and reliable Wireless and Ad hoc COMmunications

International Projects

• Itea Wellcom on "Personalised Broadband Services in the Home"
• Aurora - Optimization of Broadband Wireless Communications Networks

List of all projects

Previous Projects

• Eureka Itea Sumo "Service Ubiquity in Mobile and Wireless Realm"
• IST FP6 ASG "Adaptive Services Grid"
• IST FP6 ePerSpace "Towards the era of personal services at home and everywhere"
• Eurescom P1401 OSIAN "Operators Strategy, business models and demonstrations for using Innovative home services to increase the ARPU in the fixed Network"

UniK is offering project partnership

UniK has a good tradition of being involved in international research projects. These include Eureka ITEA and Celtic Initiatives, as well as EU' FP6 projects. We are looking for partnership in the 7th framework programme, FP7.

Our expertise is a.o. in

We have close co-operation with Telenor's Innovation lab PATS (http://www.pats.no), and are able to create and control mobile services in the Norwegian Market. Examples of that are key distribution for NFC based admittance, semantic matching of user preferences with the electronic service guide (ESG).

For further information, please visit: Research - for a description of UNIK, see UNIK/EU-description

As part of the University of Oslo several EU projects have been joined

• EPiCS, FP7, - Robin group at Ifi
• ITEA SUMO, WellCom
• Artemis Shield

Proposed Master Projects

A supervisor is specified for each project. Contact the supervisor if you are interested in doing a project.

If you are not a student of a Norwegian University, please find information on remote thesis supervision here

Future Service Environments; Semantics and Ontology

Semantic Services versus Mobile Services, include mobile services into the web service world Sensor input to Web Services, integrate sensor data be integrated in a mobile/wireless service world Social tagging for ontology description, use community tagging to create the meaning of words and their relations Web2.0 services at Telenor, The iLabs service world Intelligent Transport Systems, enable services in a complex transportation scenario Roaming of advanced Telecom Services Video Communication on Mobile phones klienter på data Capabilities of future mobile phones Security of Services Oriented Architecture

Identity Management

Identity in the digital world Using Semantics to describe a Group Identity Service authentication due to Group Membership Context-aware services Establish a virtual mobile in a network Federated identity management in future markets and communities Security in Mobile Phone Banking

Near-Field Communications (NFC)

Establish a virtual mobile in a network Sensor integration, invisible communication to sensors, proxy to enable virtual sensors Near Field Communication enabled Personal Area Network Communication Communication with the car

Radio communication
