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.

Abstract (eng): Due to growth of the Internet, the number of devices increasing and the structure of networks becoming more complex, the problem of time delays during information transmissions has arisen.
In environments with long transmission delays modern protocols may become inefficient or even useless.
Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) is one approach that allows to solve the problem of long transmission delay times.

In the thesis, an approach to web access in such networks is proposed.
The problem of data transmission in the networks with long delays is considered.
Special methods exist for data transmission in computer networks.
But traditional data transmission protocols do not work well in networks with long delays, e.g. when transmitting over long distances, such as in space, or when connectivity may be disrupted, such as in mobile networks.
It is necessary, therefore, to replace TCP and to change the existing web protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol - HTTP) in order to allow HTTP data transmissions in DTN environments.

In the thesis, HTTP is analyzed and an adaptation of HTTP to DTN environments, as proposed in earlier research, is reviewed and extended further.
A client part is created and the implementation is described.
The client allows solving the problem of HTTP over DTN usage.
An open-source browser is modified and the necessary extensions are developed.
The extensions allow to use the DTN transport protocol (i.e. the Bundle Protocol) as another option of transport other than TCP.

The software module for a web browser is built on the Mozilla platform.
It was shown that it is possible to create a browser to work in DTNs.
