▼ The project is to be carried out to reach places such as caves, mountain peaks, or other places without exposing a driver or pilot to danger. The purpose is to try to make a platform that, intelligently, moves around in these environments. This is an area where there is potential for improvement and therefore became the choice of this project.
The goals for the project were implemented successfully into the platform. The platform’s design was successfully made to transform into the three phases and have implemented ground-borne movements. The three phases are Ground-, air, and water-borne. The design also had implemented symbolic protection shields for the propellers. Wireless communication was implemented.
The project mainly focused on the ground-borne phase and movements, while the rest of the phases symbolizes the purpose of this project, which intelligently, move in any terrain or direction. This can be done by allowing the platform to transform into the most efficient of the three phases, corresponding to the challenge it will face. The platform’s potential is more significant than just the three previously mentioned phases.

▼ The eCommerce business industry is currently at its peak. New online stores are
emerging every single day. They rely on a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, meaning that there are no alternatives to the user???s role ??? he is a consumer, the buyer of the products. Without a doubt, this imposes certain restrictions, limiting the opportunities and the potential of a
platform. A P2P (peer-to-peer) model can solve his problem.
As is evident from the name, a two-sided
platform implies a dual role for the website???s customers. Marketplace users are the only buyer-seller relationship subjects. The website is just an infrastructure for their convenient and efficient interactions. Similar to a real market, the P2P
platform is only a location for people to exchange their value.
GamesRoom is a website developed to create a P2P marketplace for all the sporting
activities. Users in this website can potentially have two roles: service buyer and service provider.
Service provider: Any person who has sporting goods and a place to play can post his place for rental. For example- Snooker parlor, badminton court, tennis court etc.
Service Buyer: Any person who wants to play a game can choose from postings available and also based on his preference like nearby location, price and so on.

▼ Stewart platforms are typically fitted with linear actuator legs which serve to drive the mobile
platform to some desired orientation and position. In more recent work, the Stewart
platform has been fitted with sensor, rather than actuator, legs so that the
platform could be used to quantify applied forces and torques. The orientation of the
platform is predicted using the embedded sensor measurements and positions; therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the
platform by finding updated positions of the sensors so that the accuracy of the predicted
platform orientation and position are improved.
A constrained four degree of freedom Stewart
platform with four embedded linear displacement sensors was calibrated. In the case of the
platform considered, the goal was to accurately determine the orientation of the
platform based on the measured changes in the linear displacement sensor leg lengths. An existing test fixture was used to drive the
platform to known static angles about three axes, to a maximum of approximately 10°. The test fixture applied pure rotations to the mobile plate of the
platform and did not permit the mobile
platform to translate.
An orientation sensor, which incorporated a dual-axis inclinometer and a rotary encoder, was designed to interface with the test fixture to directly and accurately measure the orientation of the
platform. The modular orientation sensor was designed to be easy to install and remove. Furthermore, the attachment plate of the orientation sensor was given a simple design so that the sensor could be used to calibrate nearly any Stewart
platform. A calibration algorithm was developed which minimized the error of the orientation angles calculated from the linear displacement sensor measurements by updating the positions of the embedded displacement sensors relative to their as-designed values. The calibration was shown to reduce the maximum error in the predicted orientation angles by a factor of 10 to 0.5° or less. The average errors in the predicted orientations were all less than 0.1° after calibration.

▼ Various industries adopt different techniques for isolating or reducing vibration in marine application. This project investigates vibration control for fitted equipment on marine vessels that are subjected to random sea waves. A suitable controller is therefore designed to ensure that the platform located beneath the equipment as flat as possible regardless of the disturbances. Increasing complexity control of a fitted equipment and accurate determination of vibration measurement due to the unpredictable nature of the external disturbance acting on the system has led to a study carried out to prevent severe consequences such as loss of lives and capsize of goods. In this thesis, a random sea wave, which is as close as possible to the actual sea wave, is modelled as the disturbance to the system. Majority of the works previously presented on ship motions have been on steering control and navigation. The goal in this thesis is to control the flatness of the fitted equipment loaded on a marine vessel. In addition, an approach of attenuating the impact of disturbances on the marine vessel is presented. This analysis is important to ensure that the stability of the platform located beneath the equipment is achieved irrespective of external disturbances. It is important for the actively controlled board which are located beneath the equipment of the ship to be made as flat as possible subsequent to agitation by external disturbances. The plant model considered is illustrated as a two and three-dimensional structures that describe the marine body and platform. The random sea wave acts as the disturbance tothe system, which is described using a set of motion equations. The considered motions in this thesis consist of the pitch, roll and heave. As a result of this disturbance, some linear and non-linear controllers are proposed to suppress the vibration and improve the flatness of the fitted equipment (rigid body). Simulations and analyses of results are consequently presented and discussed to show that the flatness of the fitted equipment is achieved.

▼ Developers and technologists of enterprise systems such as servers, storage and networking products must constantly anticipate new cybersecurity threats and evolving security requirements. These requirements are typically sourced from marketing, customer expectations, manufacturing and evolving government standards. Much ongoing major research focus has been on securing the main enterprise system purpose functionality, operating system, network and storage. There appears, however, to be far less research and a growing number of reports of vulnerabilities in the area of enterprise systems management hardware and software subsystems. Many recent examples are within types of subsystems such as baseboard management controllers (BMCs), which are intricate embedded subsystems, independent of the host server system functionality. A BMC is typically comprised of a specialized system-on-a-chip, RAM, non-volatile storage, and sensors, and runs an embedded LINUX Operating System. The BMC’s primary roles are always increasing in scope including managing system inventory, system operational health, thermal and power control, event logging, remote console access, provisioning, performance monitoring, software updates and failure prediction and remediation. To compromise or create a denial of service of such subsystems has an increasing impact on equipment manufacturers and large and small enterprises. This report’s primary objective is to research real-world and theoretical hardware and software cyber-attack vectors on enterprise product platforms, inclusive of BMCs, BIOS and other embedded systems within such products. For each presented attack vector, best practices and suggestions for effective avoidance and mitigation are explored. Domains of particular interest are physical access security, hardware manipulation and secure boot protections against software image manipulation, BIOS recovery and secure field debug techniques.

(more)
▼ On mobile platforms such as iOS and Android, Web browsers such as Google Chrome, and even smart televisions such as Google TV or Roku, hundreds of thousands of software apps provide services to users. Their functionality often requires access to potentially sensitive user data (e.g., contact lists, passwords, photos), sensor inputs (e.g., camera, microphone, GPS), and/or information about user behavior. Most apps use this data responsibly, but there has also been evidence of privacy violations. As a result, individuals must carefully consider what apps to install and corporations often restrict what apps employees can install on their devices, to prevent an untrusted app—or a cloud provider that an app communicates with—from leaking personal data and proprietary information. There is an inherent trade-off between users’ privacy and apps’ functionality. An app with no access to user data cannot leak anything sensitive, but many apps cannot function without such data. A password management app needs access to passwords, an audio transcription app needs access to the recordings of users’ speech, and a navigation app needs users’ location. In this dissertation, we present two app
platform designs, πBox and CleanRoom, that strike a useful balance between users’ privacy and apps’ functional needs, thus shifting much of the responsibility for protecting privacy from the app and its users to the
platform itself. πBox is a new app
platform that prevents apps from misusing information about their users. To achieve this, πBox deploys (1) a sandbox that spans the user’s device and the cloud, (2) specialized storage and communication channels that enable common app functionality, and (3) an adaptation of recent theoretical algorithms for differential privacy under continual observation. We describe a prototype implementation of πBox and show how it enables a wide range of useful apps with minimal performance overhead and without sacrificing user privacy. In particular, πBox develops the aforementioned three techniques under the assumption of limited sharing of personal data. CleanRoom extends πBox and is designed to protect confidentiality in a "Bring Your Own Apps" (BYOA) world in which employees use their own untrusted third-party apps to create, edit, and share corporate data. CleanRoom’s core guarantee is privacy-preserving collaboration: CleanRoom enables employees to work together on shared documents while ensuring that the documents’ owners—not the app accessing the document—control who can access and collaborate on the document. To achieve this guarantee, CleanRoom partitions an app into three parts, each of which implements a different function of the app (data navigation, data manipulation, and app settings), and controls communication between these parts. We show that CleanRoom accommodates a broad range of apps, preserves the confidentiality of the data that these apps access, and incurs insignificant overhead (e.g., 0.11 ms of overhead per client-server request). Both πBox and CleanRoom use differential privacy for…

▼ Developers and technologists of enterprise systems such as servers, storage and networking products must constantly anticipate new cybersecurity threats and evolving security requirements. These requirements are typically sourced from marketing, customer expectations, manufacturing and evolving government standards. Much ongoing major research focus has been on securing the main enterprise system purpose functionality, operating system, network and storage. There appears, however, to be far less research and a growing number of reports of vulnerabilities in the area of enterprise systems management hardware and software subsystems. Many recent examples are within types of subsystems such as baseboard management controllers (BMCs), which are intricate embedded subsystems, independent of the host server system functionality. A BMC is typically comprised of a specialized system-on-a-chip, RAM, non-volatile storage, and sensors, and runs an embedded LINUX Operating System. The BMC’s primary roles are always increasing in scope including managing system inventory, system operational health, thermal and power control, event logging, remote console access, provisioning, performance monitoring, software updates and failure prediction and remediation. To compromise or create a denial of service of such subsystems has an increasing impact on equipment manufacturers and large and small enterprises. This report’s primary objective is to research real-world and theoretical hardware and software cyber-attack vectors on enterprise product platforms, inclusive of BMCs, BIOS and other embedded systems within such products. For each presented attack vector, best practices and suggestions for effective avoidance and mitigation are explored. Domains of particular interest are physical access security, hardware manipulation and secure boot protections against software image manipulation, BIOS recovery and secure field debug techniques.

▼ Various industries adopt different techniques for
isolating or reducing vibration in marine application. This project
investigates vibration control for fitted equipment on marine
vessels that are subjected to random sea waves. A suitable
controller is therefore designed to ensure that the
platform
located beneath the equipment as flat as possible regardless of the
disturbances. Increasing complexity control of a fitted equipment
and accurate determination of vibration measurement due to the
unpredictable nature of the external disturbance acting on the
system has led to a study carried out to prevent severe
consequences such as loss of lives and capsize of goods.In this
thesis, a random sea wave, which is as close as possible to the
actual sea wave, is modelled as the disturbance to the
system.Majority of the works previously presented on ship motions
have been on steering control and navigation. The goal in this
thesis is to control the flatness of the fitted equipment loaded on
a marine vessel. In addition, an approach of attenuating the impact
of disturbances on the marine vessel is presented. This analysis is
important to ensure that the stability of the
platform located
beneath the equipment is achieved irrespective of external
disturbances. It is important for the actively controlled board
which are located beneath the equipment of the ship to be made as
flat as possible subsequent to agitation by external
disturbances.The plant model considered is illustrated as a two and
three-dimensional structures that describe the marine body and
platform. The random sea wave acts as the disturbance tothe system,
which is described using a set of motion equations. The considered
motions in this thesis consist of the pitch, roll and heave. As a
result of this disturbance, some linear and non-linear controllers
are proposed to suppress the vibration and improve the flatness of
the fitted equipment (rigid body). Simulations and analyses of
results are consequently presented and discussed to show that the
flatness of the fitted equipment is achieved.

▼ This paper analyzes how specific aspects of design and governance of
platform explain complementors participation in the video game console industry. This study introduces a new dimension to measure
platform openness and suggest that by opening the
platform vertically to different markets,
platform firms can smoothen complementors competition and incentivize them to participate in their network. This study makes a first attempt to measure
platform boundary resources and highlight its positive influence on complementors participation. Finally, the analysis also explores conditions under which signing an exclusive contract is beneficial for complementors. Complementors tend to participate in exclusive contracts during the early stages of
platform rather than mature stages due to intense competition among complementors in the latter stage. The results suggest that by following the correct design and governance strategies,
platform firms can orchestrate a large network of complementors and proliferate a variety of complementary product offerings.

▼ Self-driving cars used to be a concept of a future society. However, through years of research, testing, and dedication they are becoming a modern day reality. To further expand research and testing capabilities in the field of autonomous vehicles, an Autonomous Vehicle Research
Platform (AVRP) can be developed. The purpose of an AVRP is to provide researchers with an autonomous ground vehicle testing
platform they can outfit with sensors and equipment to meet their specific research needs. The
platform will give researchers the capabilities to test algorithms, new sensors, navigation, new technologies, etc. that they believe would help advance autonomous vehicles. When their testing is done, their equipment can be removed so the next researcher can utilize the
platform.
The scope of this thesis is to develop the operational specifications for an AVRP that can operate at level 4 autonomy. These specifications include navigation and sensing hardware, such as LIDAR, radar, ultrasonic, cameras, and important specifications that pertain to using each, as well as a review of optimal mounting locations. It will also present benchmarks for computing, design specs for power and communication buses, and modifications for universal mounting racks.

▼ Along with the fast pace of developing internet technology, mobile network consumption and internet consumption has more influence in our daily life, as well as the update and revolution of traditional industries. Many service industries that on the basis of internet have new business models being developed every now and then. Among them, Services industries under O2O (Online to Offline) consumption model are changing peopleâs daily habits.
Under the circumstances, many companies are putting efforts on one potential market: the internet education service industry. In China, the internet educational progress has started almost 20 years. It has uniqueness in each period. Now, the fierce competition is among O2O Tutoring platforms. These platforms are aiming to reconstruct the education service industry, and break the barrier of traditional tutoring institutes. Some produces are even called âUber of Educationâ, âTaobao of Educationâ, etc.
Though we have lots of studies about
Platform business model, there is few in education industries from this angle. Hence, this study is going to fill up the gap, which is to study two cases respectively, find out and sum up the key success factors of development of tutoring platforms, and describe the strategy meanings, through analysis and completion of
platform business model structure.
Through the cases analysis, this study finds out the platforms need to analyze their business models, weighted in strategy focus and develop differential dominating strategies. And as belong to âFast moving typeâ or âCultivating typeâ services, a
platform should deepen its value creation accordingly. At last, this study gives out some recommendations to the potential development of tutoring business in Taiwan, through the result of analysis.

▼ Facing the crush of the liberalization and globalization, the companies try their best to improve the ability of competitiveness. For saving cost and focusing on their development, the enterprises divide their business into two parts: the core and the non-core. The establishments assign others companies to conduct the non-core business such as information outsourcing, equipment-maintaining outsourcing, catering outsourcing, security outsourcing and so on. There may be many outsourcing cases in a large commercial enterprise. In order to enhance the efficiency and efficacy, reduce executing time and ensure the quality, the individual system is established. Although the individual system can administer the various kinds of outsourcing cases, it gains extra processing-time and reduplicate working-processes.
Based on the specialties, the outsourcings are divided into three kinds: project, long-term contract, the combined of project and long-term contract. The outsourcing process and problems are examined by interviewing the employers and employees. According to the analyses, the operation procedures of outsourcing
platform, the manuals of operating system, and the simulation with Arena are designed. Due to the results of simulation, the
platform can solve the outsourcing problems and increase the efficiency. Therefore, the template can be established.

▼ Modular product platforms, sets of common modules that are shared among a product family, can bring cost savings and enable introduction of multiple product variants quicker than without platforms. This thesis describes the current state of modular platform design and identifies gaps in the current state. The gaps were identified through application of three existing methods and by testing their usability and reliability on engineers and engineering students. Existing platform or modular design methods either are meant for (a) single products, (b) identify only module "cores" leaving the final module boundary definition to the designer, and (c) use only a limited set of evaluation criteria. I introduce a clustering algorithm for common module identification that takes into account possible degrees of commonality. This new algorithm can be applied both at physical and functional domains and at any, and even mixed, levels of hierarchy. Furthermore, the algorithm is not limited to a single measure for commonality analysis. To select the candidate modules for the algorithm, a key discriminator is how difficult the interfaces become. I developed an interface complexity metric based on minimizing redesign in case of a design change. The metric is based on multiple expert interviews during two case studies. The new approach was to look at the interface complexity as described by the material, energy, and information flows flowing through the interface. Finally, I introduce a multi criteria platform scorecard for improved evaluation of modular platforms. It helps a company focus on their strategy and benchmark one's own platform to the competitors'. These tools add to the modular platform development process by filling in the gaps identified. The tools are described in the context of the entire platform design process, and the validity of the methods and applicability to platform design is shown through industrial case studies and examples.

▼ People are actively looking to pursue happiness by spending their precious time on meaningful experiences, which are often sought for in media entertainment as it is people’s most engaged in leisure activity today. However, current services fail to support them or even counter them, with their manipulative media-platforms in favor of their goals often at the cost of people’s goals. This creates a world of regret instead of happiness. The student of this graduation project claims that media entertainment designers should feel responsible to design services that respect and allow people to pursue their goals in finding happiness through it. This project can be considered an example, or even proof that there is indeed a manner to realize that and that, as company, it is crucial to do so as people are starting to reject services that are threatening their happiness. APPROACH This graduation project first investigated what happiness consisted of, and how media entertainment could contribute to that. The conclusion was that people need to engage in mindful, intentional, intrinsically motivated media-experiences which well-balances short-term pleasure (Hedonia) with long-term happiness (Eudaimonia). Then, current platforms were analysed to understand why they exist and why they are currently designed the way they are and how this affects well- being. The conclusion was that current streaming-platforms are being created to maximize media-consumption which resulted in an over-focus on hedonia at the cost of eudaimonia and therefore people’s long-term happiness. As ViP focuses on re-framing and reinvention by creating future opportunities, instead of solving the present-day problems, a future context of 2020 had been outlined through an extensive analysis using academic literature, trend reports- and sites and interviews. The result was three meta-factors that described the world of 2020 as “embracing the mindful pursuit of meaningfulness’. SOLUTION ViP states that as a designer, you should take a position in this future vision. The goal of this project is to design a new streaming-
platform that improves people’s well- being through media-entertainment, which resulted in the following statement: I want to empower people to experience media-entertainment meaningfully, by guiding them in articulating their intentions through trusted others. DESIGN The new concept considers media-entertaiment as meaningfull experience packages and facilites people in finding these packages through the suggestions of trusted others, such as people close to the user (like family and friends) but also famous people/accounts (like inspirational influencers or design blogs). Plus it empowers people to experience these entertainment-packages meaningfully by increasing their mindfulness through 6 steps. The concept contributes to well-being by focussing on improving both the hedonic and the eudaimonic experience by increasing people’s autonomy, competence and relatedness, focussing on personal…

▼ This thesis investigates the development and application of a robotic system for in-vitro biomechanical testing to study the mechanisms leading to human joint injury and degeneration in an ethical and safe manner. Six degree of freedom (6-DOF) robotic-based systems, in particular Gough-Stewart
platform-based systems, have been increasingly used in applications of biomechanical testing where 6-DOF mobility, large load capacity, and high stiffness and positioning accuracy are required from the testing machine. This study proposes a novel Gough-Stewart
platform-based manipulator with ultra-high stiffness and accuracy for use in biomechanical testing and investigates its mechanism and control. Not only restricted to biomechanical testing, the proposed manipulator concept can also be applied to other robotic-based applications, particularly those requiring ultra-high accuracy positioning under large external loads (e.g machining). Four main features of the proposed manipulator are individually studied in this thesis: namely, stiffness and control of a non-collocated actuator-sensor mechanism, active preload control using actuation redundancy for backlash elimination, adaptive velocity-based load control of human joints for unconstrained testing, and reproducing the in-vivo measured kinematics on human cadaveric joints. Stiffness and Control of the Non-collocated Actuator-Sensor Mechanism A novel Gough-Stewart
platform-based mechanism is proposed with a fully decoupled actuator-sensor arrangement for passively compensating the structural compliance of the manipulator. The stiffness of the robot load frame and the sensing frame are respectively quantified using the robot kinematics error model combined with finite element analysis (FEA) on the top and bottom assemblies. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism improves the stiffness of the robotic testing system in excess of an order of magnitude on the translational axes and two orders of magnitude for rotational axes compared to a traditional actuator-sensor collocated design. Control disturbances arising from actuator-sensor non-collocation is addressed using decoupled control. Experimental results show that the proposed decoupled control algorithm improves the dynamic accuracy of the manipulator by approximately 25% on average. Active Preload Control Using Actuation Redundancy for Backlash Elimination This thesis investigates combining the benefits of both active and passive preload control methods, using actuation redundancy to prevent backlash on a general Gough- Stewart
platform. Both the mechanical configuration and the dynamics model of the redundant manipulator are investigated for the ease of control. A novel online optimization algorithm combined with a feedback force control scheme is formulated to achieve a real-time method which is robust to both model inaccuracy and load disturbance. Simulation results demonstrate an effective preload efficacy by the redundant arrangement within the workspace of the robot. Simulation results also show that…

▼ This thesis is about the identification of an optimal modular platform-based product development design process for a series of support vessels of the Royal Netherlands Navy, viewed from a Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding perspective. Because of increasing competition in the global shipbuilding market, the demand for ships with higher quality, lower lifecycle costs and shorter delivery lead time is growing. Advanced manufacturing technologies can partially address these challenges, but advanced design technologies are critical, since most design and manufacturing properties of a ship are influenced by the design decisions that are made in the early design stages. This makes a modular architecture platform approach very suitable. Moreover, it provides multiple opportunities to various stakeholders to benefit from. To clarify, standardisation means the use of identical components across multiple products and modularity means combining standardised components to create modules and/or building blocks. After the evaluation of the literature on modular platforms, an existing modularity method, called Modular Function Deployment (MFD), is expanded by Systems Engineering design disciplines/theories. Hereby, key aspects of platforming and modularisation principles were taken into account. Subsequently, the case study carried out explored whether the composed method is appropriate. In other words, the case study serves as a guideline and indicates which aspects must have close attention, because of encountered complications.

▼ This project was commissioned by Labl Fashion Group B.V. (Labl), a company which focuses on helping small fashion brands gain access to a social and sustainable supply chain, by connecting these brands to their (future) private factory in Kenya. During the first pilots Labl performed with other fashion suppliers in Kenya, the company stumbled upon some issues: the quality of the garments was not up to their expectations and the communication with the factory demanded a lot of time, effort and frustration. Labl wanted to know how to improve this course of events so that, by design, the process of ordering fashion can be improved. The aim of this graduation project was to design an intervention that would facilitate communication between brand and supplier in the fashion industry, in a way that leads to mutual understanding and will result in production of better-quality fashion over time. Therefore, interviews and context research were performed with Dutch brand owners, Kenyan artisans and factory owners to become aware of the issues that led to dissatisfaction in this collaboration. A cultural analysis was performed to find out how to bridge the Kenyan and Dutch culture, and come up with practices that are suitable for all stakeholders. Two creative sessions were performed to come up with solutions that could tackle this problem. The design intervention that was created was a digital platform design which is unique in the industry. It offers a solution that is aimed at: 1) enabling clear communication of instructions and feedback, 2) Creating transparency in the supply chain, and 3) Building trustworthy relationships between factory and brand. A prototype of the interface was developed and tested with Kenyan artisans. Afterwards, iterations were made, and a final concept of the digital platform is presented. Finally, the project closes with conclusions and recommendations for future development.

▼ Community Question-Answer(CQA) services are online portals with a community of people that share similar interests, and post question-answers for solving the difficulties they have. These services have huge social impact and have become a place where knowledge is created and distributed. Despite the advances in Question Routing and Recommendation Systems, CQA still struggles in handling large number of unanswered questions and suffer with the quality of answers provided in general. An effective solution to tackle this problem is to consider the expertise of users when routing a question to its potential answerers. There are many existing methods for measuring expertise but they tend to favour more active users rather than expert users. To address this problem, we look into cross-platform behaviour of a user and incorporate his cross-platform expertise. We provide insights into performance of question routing with this method. We perform an extensive literature survey about the CQA system, question routing, recommendation systems and types of expertise, to map a users' cross-platform behavior with a certain type of expertise. We propose a methodology to match users across multiple platforms, with which we measure expertise according to mapped user behaviour on those platforms. Finally we estimate the reliability of expertise measurement when applied to question routing. We study and discuss the effect of parameters such as division of data into training and test set sizes and use factorization machine for recommendation system.

▼ The fragmentation of mobile devices nowadays makes it hard for (third party) mobile application developers to develop applications that are suitable for all mobile platforms on the market. A current startup, named Obymobi (Order By Mobile), introduces a new platform for ordering drinks and/or food in the hospitality business using a mobile application. The Obymobi mobile application is targeted at all mobile platforms, so that every mobile user is able to use the application. However, developing a mobile application which can be executed at all current mobile platforms implies several portability issues. This thesis is the result of research which focuses on how to deal with the heterogeneity in mobile devices while developing mobile applications. As current crossplatform mobile application development solutions from industry do not offer flexibility as they tend to have a static character in terms of supported platforms and features, a new cross-platform development framework prototype is presented in this thesis. Using this framework named Voind, mobile applications can be defined in an abstracted model in order to use this model for the generation of multiple versions for different mobile platforms.

▼ This dissertation is in two parts. In Chapter 1, I empirically quantify the consumer welfare gains created by free smartphone apps that have recently emerged as one of the most used digital goods. I use a unique dataset of smartphone apps and transform sales ranks into quantities to overcome a lack of data on quantity. In the process, I suggest a new methodology of utilizing Google search data, which can also be used in future research. The estimation results show that smartphone apps created 5.7~10.9 billion and 13.5~23.3 billion of annual consumer benefits in 2010 and 2011, respectively – which can be translated into 134~260 in 2010 and 157~271 in 2011 per smartphone user on average – and more than 90% of the welfare gain is from free apps.
In Chapter 2, I examine how the contributing effects of mobile applications on smartphone adoption differ across smartphone operating systems and the extent to which this difference is explained by the role of platforms, focusing on the case of Apple vs. Google. I estimate a model of consumer demand for both smartphones and compatible apps where I specify the benefit provided by apps as the sum of individual app utilities. It is first shown that the selection of different types of consumers onto platforms should be accounted for in estimating app demand and thereby measuring the complementary effects. I take a novel approach to constructing geographically disaggregated sales panel by using Google web search data, as a way of addressing the selection issue. After controlling for the user heterogeneity, the results still suggest that Apple provided more app benefits to users and Android's stronger sales over the sample period come entirely from advantages in the price-adjusted quality of hardware. The overall quality of apps in Google Play was not inferior to that of the App Store, but Google is estimated to have delivered lower utility for a given set of apps possibly due to its open strategy.

▼ Bicycle dynamics and behaviors have been vastly studied through modeling and
simulation. Due to the complexity, software models are often assumed subjecting
to di erent nonholonomic constraints in order to simplify the models and control
algorithms. A real life autonomous bicycle faces perturbances from the road, wind,
tire deformation, slipping among other external forces. Limitations of simulations
will not always allow these to apply. All these issues make the autonomous bicycle
research very challenging.
To study the bicycle control problems a few research results from the literature
are reviewed. A nonlinear bicycle model was used to conduct control simulations.
Model based nonlinear controllers were applied to simulate the balance and path
tracking control. A PID controller is more practical to replace the non-linear controller
for the balance control. Simulation results of the di erent controllers are
compared in order to decide the proper control strategies on the hardware
platform.
The controller design of the
platform complies with practicality based on the hardware
con guration. Two control schemes are implemented on the test
platform;
both are developed with PID algorithms. The rst scheme is a single PID control
loop in which the controller takes the roll angle feedback and balances the running
platform by means of steering. If the desired roll angle is zero the controller will try
to hold the
platform at the upright position. If the desired roll angle is non-zero
the
platform will be balanced at an equilibrium roll angle. A xed roll angle will
lead to a xed steering angle as the result of balance control. The second scheme
is directional control with balance consisting of two cascaded PID loops. Steering
is the only means to control balance and direction. To do so the desired roll angle
must be controlled to achieve the desired steering angle. The
platform tilts to
the desired side and steering follows to the same side of the tilt; the
platform can
then be lifted up by the centrifugal force and eventually balanced at an equilibrium
roll angle. The direction can be controlled using a controlled roll angle. Many implementation
issues have to be dealt with in order for the control algorithm to be
functional. Dynamic roll angle measurement is implemented with complementary
internal sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope). Directional information is obtained
through a yaw rate gyroscope which operates on the principle of resonance. To monitor
the speed of the
platform, a rotational sensor was formed by using a hard drive
stepper motor attached to the axis of the vehicle's driving motor. The optoelectronic
circuit plays the vital role to ensure the system functionality by isolating the
electromagnetic noise from the motors. Finally, in order to collect runtime data, the
wireless communication is implemented through Bluetooth/RS232 serial interface.
The data is then plotted and analyzed with Matlab. Controller gains are tuned
through numerous road tests.

▼ Biofuels have drawn increased attention from the public and the engine researchers during the past decades. The biofuel uses may benefit in reducing engine emissions and greenhouse gas production. In this work, a new engine
platform with a modern Ford diesel engine was prepared to perform experiments on low temperature combustion (LTC) with diesel and biofuels. A detailed documentation of the engine
platform implementation was recorded. Engine experiments were performed to verify the
platform preparation and to collect information for diesel baseline tests and ethanol port fuel injection (PFI) experiments. The ethanol PFI results were promising in suppressing the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and smoke. It was observed that both NOx and smoke emissions from PFI ethanol ignited by diesel direct injection (DI) were lower than those from diesel combustions. The combustion phasing of diesel-ethanol combustion was under the control of diesel injection timing and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

▼ Platform Design is a study of different viewpoints on the creation of digital systems, and how they converge in platforms designed, built, and managed by communities. As sociotechnical constructs in which features emerge through the interaction of different stakeholders, platforms are understood as both means and outcomes—the ‘things’ or boundary objects in a design process—generating the spaces where communities of practice can form.
Utilizing two strongly interwoven timelines in education and research (both in academia and industry), the thesis shifts the centre of balance in actor–networks by iteratively recalibrating from a techno-deterministic analysis towards a community-driven one. The theoretical background in the fields of cybernetics, critical theory, design, and the sociology of technology frames the empirical work, which consists of academic publications, design reports, and the publicly available documentation of realized projects. In the space between theory and praxis, a methodological toolbox is developed, a posteriori revisiting experiences gathered over a decade Drawing on a series of functional concepts, the thesis proposes an alternative co-design framework, termed inclusive multiple prototyping. Meant to augment new sensibilities that are pertinent to the design process of platforms, this framework addresses the inherent complexity of actor–networks and human–machine communities.
In practical terms, the thesis describes a series of projects, some of which can be considered platforms, while others would be better categorized as tools, toolboxes, kits, or infrastructure. These include co-creating the Arduino community, repurposing kitchen appliances for connection to the cloud, designing a modular prototyping platform involving programming and electronics, deploying an indoor location system, creating educational kits for upper secondary school teachers, and inventing new haptic interactive interfaces. Some of the projects required the long-term involvement of the researcher in intimate communities of practice; others were temporal interventions, yet reached thousands of users. Practice-based and transdisciplinary, the thesis contributes to the field of interaction design by bringing in elements of a sociotechnical discourse, while problematizing notions such as democracy and governance, openness of tools and outcomes, modularity, generalizability, and transferability—the three latter terms further fuelling the research questions. The research shows that these are properties that enable the creation of platforms, although the question remains whether there is such a thing as a standardized platform. While this thesis touches upon the potentials of state-of-the-art platform technology, it also points to the fact that there is work to be done, socially, ethically, and politically, when considering the augmentation of platforms for everyday use as pervasive and artificial intelligence agents.
