The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research • Activity Report 2006 – 45Scientific Computing, National Graduate School (NGSSC)The preparatory graduate school is organised as a national network primarily for scientific computing in high-performancecomputers. Special attention is given to opportunities to reinforce the use of mathematical knowledge in areas where themathematical tradition has been neglected.The original grant expired in December 2003, but SSF awarded a grant of SEK 8 million for a three-year extension of thegraduate school and a grant of SEK 7,2 million for additional course development and graduate student support. In 2006, SSFawarded a grant of SEK 3 million in addition to the five-year grant awarded by the Swedish Research Council.Personal communication and computing (PCC)Research programme and graduate school aimed at developing a platform for future communication systems. Research has a strongindustrial focus and includes circuit design, data transmission, and wireless infrastructure and services.Instrumentation and measurement (AIM)Research programme and graduate school with a focus on advanced instrumentation and measurement of relevance to Swedishindustry. The programme is included in the Centre for Astronomy and Physics, where astrophysicists, space physicists andradiation physicists work together in researching the microcosmos and the macrocosmos. Also included in the research area is thedevelopment of detectors and large-scale measurement systems, measurement methods, signal processing, data capture, modellingand simulation.In 2003 a grant of SEK 7 million was added to the programme for a three-year extension of the preparatory graduate school.Real time research (ARTES)The research and graduate training programme is focused on real time systems and includes broad participation from universitiesand industry. Real time systems are computer-based systems that control the ongoing process and process data quickly enoughto give the results required in the time desired. Real time systems are vital components in a wide range of different systems andproducts – from micromechanical actuators to globe-spanning communication systems.In 2003, a grant of SEK 7 million was added to the programme for a three-year extension of the graduate school. The period hasbeen extended to 2007.The Interactive InstituteThe Interactive Institute is a multidisciplinary, innovation-oriented research institute working in the area of digital media. The Instituteoperates in the border zone between art, technology, science and enterprise.The Interactive Institute has been built up step by step in the form of studios located throughout Sweden. Today the Instituteconsists of ten studios located in Stockholm, Göteborg, Piteå and Växjö.SSF was the owner of the Institute until June 2005. The Institute is now owned by the Swedish Institute of Computer Science,SICS, but SSF is still a funder.Strategic Research Centre for Modelling, Visualization and Information Integration (MOVIII)The mission of MOVIII is to develop tools and techniques for integrated decision, support and autonomy for complex systems,grounded in experience with a wide spectrum of deployed systems and applications. The work will build on the teams’ corecompetence in the basic techniques of modelling, visualization and information integration, which are the cornerstones of advanceddecision support. It will be carried out in close cooperation with end users and will deal with particular applications, primarily foraerial vehicles, automobiles and information systems in health care.Five research groups from the disciplines of automatic control, signal processing, computer science, artificial intelligence, andvisualization collaborate at the centre.The aim is to generate techniques of generic importance while at the same time delivering tools of practical value to industryand health care.Strategic Research Centre for Predictable Embedded Software Systems (PROGRESS)PROGRESS is dedicated to finding methods for cost-effective management of the increasing complexity of software in computerbasedproducts. Adopting a software-component approach to engineering and re-engineering of embedded software systems,PROGRESS will provide theory, methods, and tools that increase quality and reduce life-cycle costs.Continued development of Swedish expertise in this area is a key strategic issue for dominating industrial sectors, such as theautomotive, telecom and automation industries.
