60 millions for technical scientific research (publ 2009-11-13)
Umeå University spends more than 60 millions on technology scientific research. Eight young researchers will be recruited to strengthen the quality of technical training.
– We will mainly focus on research areas with links to our civil engineering program. An improved quality of programs is ultimately to increase our students' employability.
– It will notably be done by our young scientists to work closely with industry, not least at the regional level, says Åsa Rasmuson-Lestander, dean of the Umeå University Faculty of Science.

Successfull day with PhD students (publ 2009-11-11)
Computer Science PhD students presented their research at an successfull doktoranddag organized by the Department on 11th of november. This time it was about half the institution's graduate students who completed the day with presentations for each other and other interested parties. Participant Martin Berglund, Robert Helgesson, Lars Karlsson, Marie Nordström and Meiyue Shao. (The picture is missing Lars Larsson.)
Open source project with mobile users (publ 2009-11-10)
Users of mobile services is the focus of a new research project at the Center for Distance-Spanning Technology (CDT) at Luleå University of Technology. Tillväxtverket has recently committed close to 17 million crowns from the EU regional fund, where researchers from Umeå and Luleå is included.
- The project aims to give mobile users the tools to develop and combine mobile services of their needs, says Anders Broberg, interaction designer for the Department of Computer Science at Umeå University.

Design optimization gets researchmoney (publ 2009-11-09)
Professor Martin Berggren in computer science has received a total of 2.5 millions swedish crowns in research grants from Vetenskapsrådet, spread over three years.
– Money will be used for basic research and innovation in design optimization. These methods are expected to be used for such diverse applications as the design of artificial blood vessels and speaker horns.
– The allocation will be used to support a researcher and a new graduate, says Martin Berggren.

Department of Computing Science
When the short abbreviation IT appeared, we all suddenly became very
aware that information technology was well on its way to change society. We
are still at the beginning of this process, but it promises to be as revolutionary
as the Industrial Revolution. Here at the Department of Computing Science our
students and researchers are developing the technology of tomorrow.
The development of modern information technology is fast-paced and
difficult to predict, while at the same time it carries with it widespread
consequences for society. This applies to both the actual technology and the
ways information technology is used for different applications and the ways it
is combined with other technologies. Computing science as a subject is a
driving force in this development, and through research and education the
field, it helps society to both master and make use of the new technology. For
research, this means greater flexibility and preparedness for addressing new
problems that arise with the development of new technologies and their use. For
education, new technologies require the continual revision of course offerings
and syllabi to address developments.
The Department of Computing Science offers a major part of the courses at
the Master's Programme in Computing Science and Engineering and the Master's
Programme in Computing Science. The Master's Programme in Engineering offers
students the opportunity to specialise within cognitive science, parallel
computing, software engineering, and scientific computing. The programme also
offers elective courses for advanced studies.
