Quality Labelling for Re-used ICT Equipment to Support Consumer Choice in the Circular Economy

The ever-increasing consumption of natural resources required for the production of consumer electronics, and the growing amount of electronic waste, underline the importance and urgency of extending the lifespan and use of such products. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) remanufacturing is a growing industry, which nonetheless faces several barriers. Consumers often have a perception

Counterexamples to general convergence of a commonly used recursive identification method

A recursive algorithm for parametric identification of discrete-time systems known as Panuska's method, the approximate maximum likelihood method or the extended matrix method, is analyzed. Making use of recently developed theory for asymptotic analysis of recursive stochastic algorithms, dynamic systems, and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) processes are constructed for which this algorithm d

Scattering theory and linear least squares estimation : Part I: Continuous-time problems

The Riccati equation plays as important a role in scattering theory as it does in linear least squares estimation theory. However, in the scattering literature, a somewhat different framework of treating the Riccati equation has been developed. This framework is shown to be appropriate for estimation problems and makes possible simple derivations of known results as well as leading to several new

Scattering theory and linear least squares estimation : Part II: Discrete-time problems

A certain "star-product" formalism in scattering theory as developed by Redheffer is shown to also be naturally applicable to discrete-time linear least-squares estimation problems. The formalism seems to provide a nice way of handling some of the well-known algebraic complications of the discrete-time case, e.g., the distinctions between time and measurement updates, predicted and filtered estima

Comments on "A Stochastic Approximation Method"

The results stated in the above paper1 concerning an approved stochastic approximation method are considered. Formulas for the variances of the estimates are derived, and it is found that, in fact, the new algorithm is inferior to previously suggested ones.

Evaluating and Improving Risk Analysis Methods for Critical Systems

At the same time as our dependence on IT systems increases, the number of reports of problems caused by failures of critical IT systems has also increased. Today, almost every societal system or service, e.g., water supply, power supply, transportation, depends on IT systems, and failures of these systems have serious and negative effects on society. In general, public organizations are responsibl

Assignment and Control of Two-Tiered Vehicle Traffic

This work considers the assignment of vehicle traffic consisting of both individual, opportunistic vehicles and a cooperative fleet of vehicles. The first set of vehicles seek a user-optimal policy and the second set seeks a fleet-optimal policy. We provide explicit sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium at which both policies are satisfied.We also propose two

Acting as Participatory Sense Making

I artikeln undersöker jag skådespelarens arbete som ”förkroppsligad subjunktivitet”, dvs från aspekten ”vad skulle jag göra om jag var i rollfigurens situation”?Jag diskuterar detta i relation till en enaktiv teori om social interaktion, nämligen den om ”Participatory sense-making”, (”deltagande meningsskapande”), som utvecklats av Hanne de Jaegher och Ezequiel Paolo. Med exempel hämtade ur en kän
