  2. The IT department is: • The thirdlargestdepartment at Uppsala University (ca 230 employees). • The mostcompletedepartment: - in Uppsala (balancebetweenedu. & research)- in Sweden (uniquecoverage of IT)

  3. Undergraduateeducation • 4000 students eachyear (about 1000 full time students) • Participation in about 30 study programs, a total of 150 courses starts per academicyear. • Singlesubjectcourses, distancecourses, summer courses and webbasedcourses. • Everything from introductory courses for beginners to specialist courses. • 200 computer work stations for the students. • High quality (UndergraduateEducation Department of the Year)

  4. Research We cover a broad spectrum of research areas: • Computing Science: algorithm design; compilerconstruction; constraintprogramming; databases; distributed systems; e-commerce; formal methods; machinelearning; programminglanguages; and software engineering • Computer Systems: formal specification, verification, experimental systems development, and evaluation; with applications in computer networks, computer architecture, and embedded systems

  5. Research (cont.) • ScientificComputing: numericalanalysis, numerical software development and high-performancecomputing; with collaborativeprojects in Computational Science and Engineering, and industrialapplications • Systems and Control: estimation, system identification, signal processing, spectralanalysis, faultdetection, and automaticcontrol; with applications in wireless communications, radar and syntheticaperture radar, modelling and control of mechanical systems, process control, environment, and medicine

  6. Research (cont.) • Visual Information and Interaction: image analysis, image processing, visualization, human-computer interaction, and IT sustainability; with applications in healthcare, medicine, biology, forestry, and transportation systems

  7. The IT departmentshosts: • Research Centres • UPMARC (Uppsala Programming for MulticoreArchitectures) 2008-2018, a Linnaeus center funded by the Swedish Research Council. Total budget: 100 million SEK. • WISENET (Uppsala Center for Wireless Sensor Networks) 2007-2016. A center of Excellencefunded by Vinnova. Total budget: 210 million SEK. • eSSENCE – a national collaboration in e-science. • SNIC (Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing), is under the Swedish Science Council a metacentrewhose task is to coordinate and develop high endcomputingcapacity for Swedish research. • UPPMAX(Uppsala Multidisciplinary Center for AdvancedComputational Science), which is Uppsala University's center for high performance computing. • UpCERG Uppsala Computing Education Research Group

  8. Citations from externalevaluation (KoF) • The friendly atmosphere and the cohesiveness that prevails at the Information Technology Department have been mentioned by several members. The panel believes that such friendly atmosphere is indeed a valuable and rather unique asset that undoubtedly contributes to the quality of the work performed at the department. • … world-class quality … world leading … internationally recognized

  9. Impact • Our graduated students and PhDs are muchappreciated in industry and academia. • Several high techspin-offs: Skype, Acumem, Trade Extensions, OptiMobile, Wisenet Holding • Collaboration with several major Swedish companies: Ericsson, ABB, Scania, Volvo… • Future systems for train traffic control in Sweden is based on HCI research. • Extensive academiccollaborationnationally and internationally.
