Welcome to Karlstad University! You newly started your employment here as a postdoc in computer science. What and where have you studied before you started here in May?
In the spring I earned my doctor’s degree in computer science with a specialization in distributed systems at the University in Bamberg, Germany, where I also earned my Bachelor and Master degrees. But this is not my first time in Sweden.
Two PhD students and one student from Karlstad University have been to Google's 1st PhD Student Summit on Web Application Security, taking place 18-20 April 2016.
At the summit, in the Google Engineering Office in Munich, Germany, the students had the opportunity to explore complex and large-scale computing challenges.
The research project Privacy & US, coordinated by Computer Science at Karlstad University has gained a new partner, the Swedish company Sentor. The aim of the project is to find new solutions to issues regarding personal data and integrity.
As more and more organisations handle personal and identifiable information, it is of great importance that citizens are protected from harmful use of this information.
The Hotspot job fair, the Snits networking group for students, mentoring and a summer course. This proved a successful combination for IT student Raymond Berglind, who is currently completing the final year of the computer engineering programme at Karlstad University and who has now developed an app for Evry, an industry partner in Snits.
“It all started when I went to Hotspot and got a good feeling about Evry.
Andreas Kassler, professor of computer science at Karlstad University, has participated in the 12th Expert Talk meeting of the NGSDP, NG Service Delivery Platforms & Service Overlay Networks, to present research on future 5G systems and the balance between energy consumption, capacity and robustness for deployment of 5G functions in a virtualized infrastructure.
- In the project HITS, High Quality Networked Services in a Mobile World, we have looked at how a virt
IETF, the Internet Engineering Task Force, arranged its first meeting of the year on 4–9 April 2016 in Buenos Aires. Computer Science at Karlstad University participated in several activities contributing to the development and maintenance of the Internet.
IETF is an independent international organisation concerned with the development and maintenance of the Internet. The organisation creates and maintains Internet standardisation processes.
On 1 April, Computer Science at Karlstad University was presented to regional IT companies at a lunch meeting, where the participants could listen to Anna Brunström, professor of Computer Science, talk about “A testbed for mobile broadband with a strong connection to Värmland”.
At the DigIT Värmland 2015 conference, Computer Science at Karlstad University was elected Digital Rocket of the Year for its research in the areas of Computer Networking, and P
Per Hurtig and Johan Garcia have developed a software for deterministic emulation, which was recently presented at the conference Netdev 1.1 in Seville and attracted favorable attention. Several conference participants said that deterministic emulation would be useful to them.
When computers communicate with each other, the transmission is regulated by transport protocols.
The EU H2020 funded project MONROE (Measuring Mobile Broadband Networks in Europe) builds and operates an open, European-scale platform with multi-homing capabilities to run experiments on operational Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks. External users can perform measurements and contribute hardware and software extensions to the platform through the process of Open Calls.
Welcome to Karlstad University! What and where have you studied before you began your employment here in February?
I completed my MSc from EIT Digital Master Program with a focus on innovation in Security and Privacy. During this program, I completed 1st year from University of Trento, Italy and 2nd year from Technical University of Berlin,Germany.
How do you like your new hometown?
I don’t like it, I love it!
On 8 March, Compare arranged a seminar on embedded systems at which Martin Blom, senior lecturer in computer science at Karlstad University, among others, gave a lecture on ”Robustness and efficiency testability in embedded systems: A systematic literature study”.
In the past year, a new network for actors working on or interested in embedded systems has emerged in Värmland and neighbouring areas.
A few years ago, Per Hurtig, researcher at Karlstad University, submitted a standardisation proposal to speed up the internet to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)*. Now, in 2016, the standard is finished.
Standardising internet mechanisms is a long process and since the first proposal of the optimisation RTOR (RTO Restart) was submitted, it has been evaluated and refined by the IETF “TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions” working group.
Welcome to Karlstad University! What and where have you studied before you began your employment here in January?
Hej hej! Before coming to Karlstad I was doing my master's in Computer Science.
The Tor network is used by hundreds of thousands of people who want anonymous access to the internet to avoid censorship. Computer Science at Karlstad University is again the recipient of funding for its research on the anonymity network from the Internet Fund.
”The right to be anonymous on the net is an important issue for people all over the world, not least for human rights watchers, whistle blowers and journalists.
Students from the whole world now have the opportunity to apply to a new unique international multidisciplinary training and research programme where doctoral students will reason, design and develop innovative solutions to questions related to the protection of citizens’ privacy.
With increasing mobility and Internet use, the demand for digital services has increased and already reached critical and high assurance domains like e-Government, e-Health, and e-Business.
Our new colleague David Thät will be in a live videoconference with the signers of the FCC letter, and either or both the FCCs head engineer and cto about thenewly proposed FCC rules laid out in ET Docket No. 15-170 for RF Devices such as Wi-Fi routers.
Watch the videoconference in october 16th at 18:00 - 19:00 here:
