    Karlstad University and Dizparc are launching a new research project in cyber security

    With an ever-escalating threat scenario, more companies and organizations are beginning to conduct active cyber security work and the demand for competence in the field is steadily increasing. Dizparc Secured and Karlstad University are joining forces and offer a new position that combines part-time work as a cyber security consultant with postgraduate training and a future doctoral degree.

    The initiative is carried out together with other partners within the Industrial Graduate School in Cyber ​​Security (SIGS-CyberSec), co-financed by the KK Foundation, and the plan is for a total of 8 people to become part of the 5-year program that will be launched in the fall of 2023. Today, the recruitment of a new employee is in full swing with a planned start of employment in December. An appointed supervisor from Karlstad University will support along the way and shares the high expectations of the future collaboration.

    Successful collaboration between Karlstad University and Rohde & Schwarz

    On Thursday 14 September, the subject of Computer Science held an open colloquium where Marco Neri from the telecommunication company Rohde & Schwarz talked about solutions and measurements related to 5G.

    Marco Neri has been involved in a joint research collaboration with Karlstad University since 2018. The research activity is one of the first collaborations in Europe to measure and analyse 5G mobile network performance. This gives Karlstad University a key role in the research context related to 5G empirical analyses and data-driven improvements.

    Achieving Low Latency and High Throughput over Cellular Internet Connections

    Mobile networks are constantly evolving to enable improved throughput and low latency for applications. However, it has been shown that current standard congestion control algorithms can cause long delays in mobile networks due to over-allocation of buffers. In his thesis, Habtegebreil Kassaye Haile has investigated the performance of two possible solutions to this problem.

    The Internet is constantly evolving. This evolution is driven by the need to support new application requirements and improve the performance of existing applications. The layered architecture of the Internet enables this evolution to take place at a specific layer without having to make changes to components at other layers. However, upgrades limited to a specific layer or component are often not sufficient to achieve the desired performance of the application. When upgrading mobile networks, performance and latency issues can simply be moved to another layer.

    Cross-border development project to strengthen cybersecurity

    Cross Border Cyber Capacity, a three-year development project that aims to strengthen business development in the field of cyber security while increasing access to expertise and knowledge sharing, is now starting. The project brings together several prominent actors in the field of cyber security in Sweden and Norway, led by the tech innovation cluster Compare.

    - The project will lay the foundation for activities in cybersecurity, which will strengthen Värmland's and the country's capacity for renewal and innovation. In addition, arenas for competence sharing between academia and industry will be created to promote growth and development in the industry," says Ingrid Ivars, project manager at Compare.
