In a society built on communication and Internet of Things, computer systems that can adapt to changing circumstances instead of crashing become ever more important. Muhammad Usman Iftikhar’s research sheds important light on how one can guarantee that a self-adaptive system is able to achieve its goals. What if a computer system that controls power […]

Researchers at Linnaeus University have created an avatar-based interview training programme for professionals who interview children about sensitive topics. The researchers, among others Pär Stihl, a policeman and teacher at the university’s police academy, have created an avatar that is a real child that trainees can practice conducting sensitive interviews with. There is a great […]

IBM’s Watson and Apple’s Siri are two examples of computing systems that help us analyse information and find answers. Scientists at Linnaeus University have developed a system that similarly helps programmers create program code that better utilizes the resources of today’s computers and mobiles. Modern IT gadgets – computers, tablets, mobile phones – consist of […]

Technological growth is moving at a fast rate. As it advances, it simultaneously shrinks, moving closer to our bodies, intertwining with the many facets of our lives and positions itself between our experiences of the physical environments. When utilizing these technological systems in intense sporting activities, this competition for our focus can lead to problematic scenarios.

Smarter strategies for maintenance in the industry, using data from components, can reduce costs by 20-40 percent and make new forms of business possible, according to new research from Linnaeus University, Chalmers and SICS. The fact that maintenance is vital for the infrastructure of our society to function has become painfully clear in recent years. […]

A framework utilizing consumer experiences for helping other consumers to select Internet services that perform best towards their optimization preferences. That is the result of Jens Kirchner’s doctoral studies at Linnaeus University. Have you ever tried to find a flight, booked a hotel or used cloud services on the Internet? Then you know that there […]

It is becoming increasingly common for patients to search in social media to find live organ donors. In a scientific study, researchers in Europe and at the Sahlgrenska Academy have examined the phenomenon and have a number of recommendations.

The hospitals of Stockholm and Västra Götaland counties are the most active social media users. Medical students at Sahlgrenska Academy have just completed a survey on the subject.

The media industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented disruption. The mass media models their business were built on are crumbling in the face of new platforms, new devices, and new patterns and consumption and media habits. Leaders of the old and new media will explore the essential characteristics of the new digital media sector.

Fewer cords, smaller antennas and quicker video transmission. This may be the result of a new type of microwave circuit that was designed at Chalmers University of Technology. The research team behind the circuits currently holds an attention-grabbing record. Tomorrow the results will be presented at a conference in San Diego.
