Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

network interface information module
Abstract (eng):The seamless computing paradigm provides a framework where a user is able to move freely between heterogeneous networks and is able to change devices and their connection to the internet and the mobile world, while still maintaining application continuity.
The issue which needs to be addressed in such an environment is in dealing with how to support data, voice and video streaming where the context of computation may change e.g. disconnections may occur or Quality of Service (QoS) provided by the network may change.
Applications are interested in choosing the best interface to connect with, taking into account the QoS parameters.
For this reason information regarding the available network interfaces and changes occurring at the link layer which are typically hidden from applications are important for applications in making vertical handover decisions.
The thesis focuses on a module called the Network interface information module which gathers the properties of the available network interfaces and link layer notifications from the mobility management system for applications to set application specific rules in choosing a particular interface.
The Network interface information module provides an application programming interface (API) with the information collected from the mobility management system.
The module is part of a framework which allows the applications to know about the different QoS parameters.
The thesis includes the design and functioning of the module in accordance with the API and concludes with a look towards further design.
The thesis was done as part of the Innovation Prototyping for Vertical Handover project at the Product Modelling and Realization Group in the Laboratory of Software Technology at Helsinki University of Technology.
