This paper describes our experiences in developing multidisciplinary Wow experiences to boost business for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Wow experiences — outstandingly positive user experiences — are an increasingly important design target in product and service development contexts because they can help reveal customer needs. The basic idea in our Wow approach is to bring together various...
Since mobile terminals such as smartphones are basic information tools for users, their communication performance is always significant. Modern loss-based Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) take aggressive congestion window (CWND) control strategies in order to gain better throughput, but such strategies may cause a large number of packets to be backlogged and eventually dropped at the entry point...
In this paper we will report our development of digital manufacturing toolbox which supports small and medium-sized enterprises in their cognitive and practical production development processes. The toolbox — or a set of tools — is part of a more extensive toolbox of supports for companies, which is developed as an essential part of the TARGET — Making Regional Manufacturing Globally Competitive and...
TARGET is a collaborative project involving a partnership of universities and institutes of higher education in UK, Ireland, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The project will develop tools to enhance capacity in regional manufacturing companies to adapt and embrace new technologies and innovation. This is to be done in collaboration with small/medium sized manufacturing engineering companies - developing,...
Regional research project are, as is also regional industry, highly need-based. That is, understanding the stakeholders' (or customers') real challenges and related needs is important. This study is based on interviews with SMEs in the Northern parts of Finland, Norway and Sweden, but also on available innovation agendas and strategies for each country. The differences among the companies in those...
The Internet of Things and big data provided by sensors and users, combined with mobile connections, enable various solutions and applications used for vehicles and traffic. Sensor data, as well as other data from the networks, can be transferred to the driver using existing technologies. With the help of this data, the driver can make driving and safety decisions. However, transferring data to and...
This paper describes Centria's research work on improving traffic safety and traffic flow by developing mobile applications to support real-time decision making. Centria has utilized a wide range of mobile device built-in capabilities in the mobile applications it has developed. For example, Wi-Fi has been used for vehicular area networking, 3G/4G/LTE for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication,...
In this demonstration paper, we will present our adaptive user interface for replacing a vehicle's conventional dashboard. A programmable tablet computer with the Android operating system was utilized for displaying a vehicle's conventional instrumentation data and navigation guidance, as well as notifications from the vehicle's local safety sensors or external infrastructure. The developed user interface...
