För många innebär datorspel att kliva in i den fiktiva värld som spelet skapar och på så vis undgå verkligenheten. I forskningssammanhang är det precis tvärtom, då är datorspel eller mikrovärldar som det också kallas ett sätt att simulera verkligheten. I detta examensarbete har möjligheten att använda datorspel för studier inom riskhanteringsområdet undersökts. Då det tidigare inte fanns någon miIt has been shown that it can be difficult to study decision making in a risk management context when traditional methods are used. An alternative to traditional methods is to use micro worlds. A certain type of decision making in the risk management context is about investments in capability which has been studied in this thesis. The aim of the project is divided into two parts, where the first p

A methodology as well as a suggested solution to the problem of unsupervised anomaly detection for contextual anomalies is presented. Using a combination of statistical and clustering approaches, an ensemble of algorithms provide automatic anomaly detection in an Application-to-person networking environment which can be scaled to different domains using hierarchical time series data. The aim of

The Swedish par
