Opin vísindi
Opin vísindi er varðveislusafn vísindaefnis og doktorsritgerða í opnum aðgangi á vegum íslenskra háskóla og Landsbókasafns Íslands - Háskólabókasafns.
Opinn aðgangur að rannsóknaniðurstöðum er í samræmi við 10. gr. laga nr. 3/2003 um opinberan stuðning við vísindarannsóknir sem og kröfur innlendra og erlendra rannsóknasjóða. Markmiðið með opnum aðgangi er að niðurstöður rannsókna séu aðgengilegar sem flestum óhindrað og án endurgjalds á rafrænu formi. Vistun í varðveislusafninu er varanleg og ætlað að tryggja aðgang að vísindaefni íslenskra háskóla í opnum aðgangi um ókomna tíð. Varðveislusafnið Opin vísindi er tengt við rannsóknagáttina IRIS og rannsóknaniðurstöður í opnum aðgangi sem eru skráðar í IRIS eru um leið vistaðar og gerðar aðgengilegar til framtíðar í varðveislusafninu. Með því að safna þessu efni saman í eitt safn verður aðgangur að því einfaldur og þægilegur fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér það og geta þannig notið þess öfluga vísindastarfs sem fram fer í háskólum landsins.
Varðveislusafnið er OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus samhæft og samrýmist kröfum sem gerðar eru um birtingu rannsóknaniðurstaðna úr verkefnum sem styrkt eru úr evrópsku rannsóknaáætlununum FP7 og H2020.

Full-Waveform based methods for Microseismic Monitoring Operations : An Application to Natural and Induced Seismicity in the Hengill Geothermal Area, Iceland
(2020-11-19) Rossi, Camilla; Grigoli, Francesco; Cesca, Simone; Heimann, Sebastian; Gasperini, Paolo; Hjörleifsdóttir, Vala; Dahm, Torsten; Bean, Christopher J.; Wiemer, Stefan; Scarabello, Luca; Nooshiri, Nima; Clinton, John F.; Obermann, Anne; Ágústsson, Kristján; Ágústsdóttir, Thorbjörg; Department of Engineering
Geothermal systems in the Hengill volcanic area, SW Iceland, started to be exploited for electrical power and heat production since the late 1960s. Today the two largest operating geothermal power plants are located at Nesjavellir and Hellisheiði. This area is a complex tectonic and geothermal site, located at the triple junction between the Reykjanes Peninsula (RP), the Western Volcanic Zone (WVZ), and the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ). The region is seismically highly active with several thousand earthquakes located yearly. The origin of such earthquakes may be either natural or anthropogenic. The analysis of microseismicity can provide useful information on natural active processes in tectonic, geothermal and volcanic environments as well as on physical mechanisms governing induced events. Here, we investigate the microseismicity occurring in Hengill area, using a very dense broadband seismic monitoring network deployed in Hellisheiði since November 2018, and apply sophisticated full-waveform based method for detection and location. Improved locations and first characterization indicate that it is possible to identify different types of microseismic clusters, which are associated with either production/injection or the tectonic setting of the geothermal area.
Synchronizer-Free Digital Link Controller
(2020-10) Bund, Johannes; Fugger, Matthias; Lenzen, Christoph; Medina, Moti; Department of Computer Science
This work presents a producer-consumer link between two independent clock domains. The link allows for metastability-free, low-latency, high-throughput communication by slight adjustments to the clock frequencies of the producer and consumer domains steered by a controller circuit. Any such controller cannot deterministically avoid, detect, nor resolve metastability. Typically, this is addressed by synchronizers, incurring a larger dead time in the control loop. We follow the approach of Friedrichs et al. (TC 2018) who proposed metastability-containing circuits. The result is a simple control circuit that may become metastable, yet deterministically avoids buffer underrun or overflow. More specifically, the controller output may become metastable, but this may only affect oscillator speeds within specific bounds. In contrast, communication is guaranteed to remain metastability-free. We formally prove correctness of the producer-consumer link and a possible implementation that has only small overhead. With SPICE simulations of the proposed implementation we further substantiate our claims. The simulation uses 65nm process running at roughly 2GHz.
A (Visual) Novel Route to Learning : A Taxonomy of Teaching Strategies in Visual Novels
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-09-15) Camingue, Janelynn; Melcer, Edward F.; Carstensdottir, Elin; Yannakakis, Georgios N.; Liapis, Antonios; Penny, Kyburz; Volz, Vanessa; Khosmood, Foaad; Lopes, Phil; Department of Computer Science
Interactive narratives are widely used to frame and contextualize education in games. However, the specifics of how their designs aid the learning process and outcomes remains relatively unexplored. To better understand this space, a study was conducted that focused on one sub-genre of interactive narrative, Visual Novels. Specifically, in this paper we conducted a survey of thirty-one existing educational Visual Novels, analyzing design elements that fostered learning and delivered educational content. The resulting taxonomy consists of five key dimensions for educational design and teaching strategies within Visual Novels: 1) Teaching Through Choice, 2) Teaching Through Scripted Sequences, 3) Teaching Through Mini-games, 4) Teaching Through Exploration and 5) Non-interactive Teaching. These dimensions demonstrate that there are a number of design considerations for supporting learning through Visual Novels. This work has implications for designers of educational games by classifying the different designs a Visual Novel can employ to teach-ultimately informing how to better present educational subject matter in interactive narrative games.
Introduction to the third annual lifelog search challenge (LSC'20)
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-06-11) Gurrin, Cathal; Le, Tu Khiem; Ninh, Van Tu; Dang-Nguyen, Duc Tien; Jónsson, Björn Þór; Lokoš, Jakub; Hürst, Wolfgang; Tran, Minh Triet; Schöffmann, Klaus; Department of Computer Science
The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) is an annual comparative benchmarking activity for comparing approaches to interactive retrieval from multi-modal lifelogs. LSC'20, the third such challenge, attracts fourteen participants with their interactive lifelog retrieval systems. These systems are comparatively evaluated in front of a live-audience at the LSC workshop at ACM ICMR'20 in Dublin, Ireland. This overview motivates the challenge, presents the dataset and system configuration used in the challenge, and briefly presents the participating teams.
Exquisitor at the Lifelog Search Challenge 2020
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-06-11) Khan, Omar Shahbaz; Larsen, Mathias Dybkjær; Poulsen, Liam Alex Sonto; Jónsson, Björn Þór; Zahálka, Jan; Rudinac, Stevan; Koelma, Dennis; Worring, Marcel; Department of Computer Science
We present an enhanced version of Exquisitor, our interactive and scalable media exploration system. At its core, Exquisitor is an interactive learning system using relevance feedback on media items to build a model of the users' information need. Relying on efficient media representation and indexing, it facilitates real-time user interaction. The new features for the Lifelog Search Challenge 2020 include support for timeline browsing, search functionality for finding positive examples, and significant interface improvements. Participation in the Lifelog Search Challenge allows us to compare our paradigm, relying predominantly on interactive learning, with more traditional search-based multimedia retrieval systems.
