Short biography

Morten Goodwin Olsen is involved in Tingtun AS and as a Ph.D. student at Aalborg University working in the field of eGovernment benchmarking. He is also involved in the project eGoverment Monitoring where his main focused is applying learning algorithms and web-mining techniques on eGovernment indicators which are hard to measure automatically. He has previously worked as a scientific developer in the European Internet Accessibility Observatory, including contributing to the Unified Web Evaluation Methodology. He is also involved in teaching, including supervising of master thesis projects. He is currently doing an internship at United Nations, New York.

Ph.D. information

Morten is doing Ph.D. part of the eGovMon project which will create an open coherent assessment methodology and implementation for benchmark

The project is an innovation project co-funded by the Research Council of Norway under the VERDIKT program (Project no.: Verdikt 183392/S10) .

The benchmarking will be done mainly based on data gathered from public web sites. Traditionally, such benchmarking is done manually or in some cases with automatic formal deterministic tests, which has its limitations. In my Ph.D. I will apply heuristic techniques, such as learning algorithms, as part of these measurements intended to increase the over all test coverage possible to do automatically.
