ELLIIT Nyhetsblad 11 – Juni 2015 Redaktör: Karl-Erik Årzén Målet med ELLIITs nyhetsblad är att sprida information om händelser och nyheter från ELLIIT. Nyhetsbladet är skrivet på en blandning av svenska och engelska. Nyheter ELLIIT Evaluation ELLIIT was evaluated during Fall 2014 and in the beginning of May 2015 the recommendation letter from the funding agencies responsible for the strategic research areas was available. The grades for ELLIIT were quite good: Performance: Good Strategy: Excellent/good Added value: Excellent and the short statement was also good: [ELLIIT] is an SRA spanning the research fields of communications, networks, control, electronics, embedded systems, software, autonomous systems, and complex systems and reaches the highest international quality for research in control theory. It has four participating higher education institutions – LiU (as host), Lund University (LU), Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) and Halmstad University (HH) – and has strong links to industry including an industrial board with representatives from Ericsson, ABB, Scania, Sectra, Schneider, Axis and SAAB. This board, along with the SRA’s International Scientific Advisory Board, has provided valuable guidance on which research programmes to support and which to abandon. SRA funding has been used primarily to recruit high-quality researchers. Through the SRA funding [ELLIIT] has significantly strengthened cooperation between its participants; it has attracted >76 MSEK in new grants; filed several patents: and had a significant impact on education at all levels. This will most likely mean that ELLIIT will continue at its current level also during coming years. This is, however, not decided until end of September when the government bill on research is available. For more information about the evaluation, see https://publikationer.vr.se/produkt/evaluation-of-the-strategic-research-area-initiative-2010-2014/ and ELLIIT Nyhetsblad 9 Page 1 http://www.vr.se/download/18.5f3cd6ec14d0737bc694553b/1430376205962/Myndigheternas+rek ommendationer150429.pdf ELLIIT Workshop The annual ELLIIT workshop will this year be held at Halmstad University with Mohammad Reza Mousavi as the chair. The dates will be October 1-2 2015 and the keynote speakers are Holger Hermanns (Saarland University, Germany) and Wayne Luk (Imperial College, UK). Wallenberg Autonomous Systems Program (WASP) 28 May the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW) decided to finance Swedish research on autonomous systems and software engineering with 1.3 Billion Swedish kronor over the period 20152025. To this should be added university co-financing and industrial co-financing of together 500 MSEK, i.e., a total budget of 1.8 Billion SEK. The majority of the money will go to Linköping University, Lund University, Chalmers, and KTH. A smaller part will go to Umeå University. Several of the ELLIIT researchers at Lund and Linköping have been involved in the proposal writing, including Patrick Doherty, Fredrik Gustafsson, Anders Ynnerman, Lars Nielsen, Karl-Erik Årzén, Anders Rantzer, Fredrik Tufvesson, and Görel Hedin. Lars Nielsen from Linköping University will be program director and Mille Millnert, also from Linköping University, will be chairman of the board. For more information about WASP, please go to https://www.wallenberg.com/kaw/18-miljarder-kronor-till-forskning-om-autonoma-system-ochmjukvaruutveckling MAPCI hosting new positioning lab. The new Lund Positioning Lab will aggregate research in Lund University around positioning technology. Regional industry will also be provided modern facilities for experiments and give opportunities to build valuable academic contacts. Key persons and early actors in this environment are Björn Landfeldt (MAPCI), Kalle Åström (Mathematics), Fredrik Tufvesson (EIT), and Bo Bernhardsson (Automatic Control). 5G for Sweden Ericsson announced that they will initiate research into 5G for Sweden during an event at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. Sara Mazur, Head of Ericsson Research, said in a press statement: "By bringing strong industries and leading universities and research institutions together, we will gain valuable insights and innovations that will enable industries to become digital, using 5G as an enabler." Among the industry partners are Swedish companies Scania and Volvo Construction Equipment. The academic and research partners are Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Linköping University, Lund University and Swedish ICT - Part of RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden).
