The purpose is two-fold: (i) to develop new mathematics ofrelevance to applications and to disseminate these results to industry, and (ii) to give a new generation of mathematicians a profoundunderstanding and experience of mathematics applications.The centre will be run by a consortium of experts in analysis, discrete mathematics and combinatorics, stochastics, numerics,optimization, systems theory, and computer science.Strategic Research Centre for Mathematical Modelling (GMMC)The goal of this centre is to sharpen the competitive edge of industry by providing new mathematicaland statistical tools, to support society by providing safer and more equitable models, and to provide all of science with the best toolsfor mathematical and statistical analysis and modelling, thereby contributing to the adaptation of universities to the rapidly changingneeds of society and industry.The centre will cover the fields of risk, reliability and quality (fatigue, corrosion, financial risk, robust design), biomathematics(bioinformatics, systems biology, medical statistics), computational technology (viscoelastictiy, biology), optimisation (radiationtreatment, logistics, product design) and spatial statistics and algorithms (environmental statistics, microarrays, gels, drug delivery).This kind of knowledge could not be acquired without the interdisciplinary structure of the centre, integrating the GothenburgStochastic Centre, new applied mathematics research groups, researchers from quality science and the Fraunhofer-Chalmers ResearchCentre for Industrial Mathematics (FCC).n Information TechnologyFramework grants in information technologyScientific Host university/ Programme total grant Periodleader institute M mSEKAhlgren Bengt SICS Winternet - A Swedish initiative for advanced internet research 20 2002 - 2007Carlsson Stefan KTH Vision in cognitive systems, VISCOS 15 2002 - 2007Christensen Henrik KTH Autonomous Systems 20 2002 - 2007Fritzson Peter LiU Research Centre for Integrational Software Engineering 7 2002 - 2007Hansson Hans MdH Component based design of safety critical vehicular systems, SAVE 17 2002 - 2007Hughes John CTH Combining verification methods in software development 8 2002 - 2006Höök Kristina SICS Research on mobile services 19 2002 - 2007Levin Björn SICS An “English butler” for the process industry 6 2002 - 2007Ljung Lennart LiU Centre of Excellence for Modelling and Simulation 18 2002 - 2007Sternad Mikael UU Wireless IP 10 2002 - 2007Zander Jens KTH Affordable wireless services & infrastructures, AWSI 17 2002 - 2007Årzén Karl-Erik LU Flexible embedded control systems, FLEXCON 10 2002 - 2006
