Lamps that are switched on and off via an app, garbage cans that signal when it is time to be emptied and children who are tracked via watches. These are all examples of smart units gaining more ground in our everyday lives. Participants in the SNITS lunch on 6 November learned more about the Internet of Things and the technology behind it.
The Internet of Things refers to devices that are not traditionally networked, such as watches, toys and machines.

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.
Professional development on Facebook (Dnr 2015-01979) enlightens questions related to teachers' continuous professional development. Professional development for teachers has long been initiated and organized top-down, initiated by the government, authorities and representatives of municipalities.
Schools and preschools in Sweden are culturally diverse arenas, with more than a quarter of children in Sweden having immigrant backgrounds (Statistiska Centralbyrån, 2017). The Swedish preschool curriculum acknowledges the importance of responsivity to culturally and linguistically diverse children and families. Thus, graduate teachers need to be equipped to work children and families from ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The REVaMP2 project aims to provide enabling technologies towards faster time-to-market and increased flexibility for industries producing variant-rich software systems and services. Engineering such systems is challenging due to variability -the number of variants grows exponentially with the number of features -adding substantial complexity to all engineering phases.
Besides publication of scientific results in various journals we also publish our research in other formats, to situate it in a wider context or to reach a wider target group.

"Escape the everyday for a few minutes and shut out the outside world. Experience an installation where music and technology come together visually and auditorily on December 14th in the lobby of the auditorium at Karlstad University during the day. This creative vision is crafted by Mats Gustavii, a teacher at the School of Music Ingesund, located on Karlstad University's second campus in Arvika."
