Driverless cars can cause chaos on roads
Stopping dead seems to be a default setting when driverless cars encounter a problem. This can cause chaos on roads, writes professor Barry Brown in The Conversation.
The data scientists of the future
In the fast development of technology, DSV has together with the Department of Statistics, developed a new master’s programme, aiming to meet the demand for future data scientists. This program takes a new approach by combining three subjects: data science, statistics and decision analysis. Ioanna Miliou, one of the programme coordinators and creators, talks about the inspiration for the courses’ design, its structure and the thoughts behind the programme.

“The real game changer is when regular glasses become smart”
Sweating, facial expressions and increased heart rate. Our bodies send signals about our emotions – signals that can be picked up by sensors. The input can then be used to design our next workout, meal or learning experience. Luis Quintero’s research provides a sneak peek into the future.
New algorithm finds valuable information in complex data
Data is available in abundance. However, to utilize this raw material we need to sort it so that patterns and trends become visible. Zed Lee develops algorithms that are useful for industry as well as healthcare.
Smart homes handle data locally
How many connected devices are there in the world? No one knows for sure, but according to a forecast, we might reach 50 billion in a couple of years. This means that enormous amounts of data have to be generated, managed and stored. Today’s cloud solutions won’t be enough, argues Ramin Firouzi.
“In the end, it’s just code and data”
His research interests are enterprise architecture and threat modelling, and he was recently promoted to associate professor. Meet Simon Hacks, whose next project involves optimising maritime transports.
Always available, never free: The dark side of ICT
From “9 to 5” to “open 24/7”. With smartphones and other technical devices, we are always connected. How does that affect the balance between work and other parts of life?

Interactive technology contributes to success of voluntary communities
Digital technology that makes it easy for businesses, individuals and volunteers to reach each other plays an important role in the success of today's voluntary organisations. This is shown by a new thesis in computer and systems science from Stockholm University, where work to reduce food waste is in focus.
Not knowing is the whole point
Jordi Solsona Belenguer views himself more as an enabler rather than as a teacher. He is however main teacher, as well as programme coordinator, for the Master's Programme in Design for Creative and Immersive Technology – a two-year master at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, DSV. Earlier this year he was awarded “Teacher of the year”. The programme is multidisciplinary and orientates around immersive technologies, such as interaction technologies and human-computer interaction. “Theory of immersion and extended reality are not just about VR glasses. Books, for example, are also immersive”, says Jordi Solsona Belenguer.
