Very brief description: A tool maker - in the sense of Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.

As of 2023-04-01, I am professor emeritus with a connection to KTH.

As of 2021-01-01 I became a member of Avdelningen för programvaruteknik och datorsystem (SCS)/Division of Software and Computer Systems (SCS) within Institution för Datavetenskap/Department of Computer Science (CS) in Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap/School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).

Through and including 2019-12-31, I was a member of the Institution för Kommunikation/Department of Communications (COM), after this I am part of Institution för Datavetenskap/Department of Computer Science (CS).

From 1 January 2018, KTH has merged three schools (CSC, EES, and ICT), to form the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) or in Swedish: Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap. The external web site is: https://www.kth.se/eecs and the internal web site is https://intra.kth.se/eecs.

From 1 January 2005, KTH is reorganized into 9 schools. Organizationally, I was in the Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknologi/School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), in the Department of Communication Systems (CoS).

At KTH prior to this, I was part of the Department of Teleinformatics (Teleinformatik).

Talks/Publications

Partial list of my publications by "Gerald Maguire" via DiVA . Another (and more accurate) way of doing this is Journal papers, conference papers, patents, chapters in books, reports, books and other. Or even fancier at researcherid.com, and ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6066-746X, Scopus Author ID 8414298400, Google Scholar, ...

A (partial) list of theses from DiVA for which I was the examiner.

Interviews

Favorite sayings and interesting thoughts for the information age, etc.

A good description of my talks

  I would love to see you as opening keynote, to get participants really excited
  (both in a positive way and in the sense of being appalled...your talks
   always have this effect).
			-- Prof. Dr. Dr. Hermann Maurer, 17 Mar 1998

Miscellaneous Information

In addition to the link to exjobb reports above, another useful portal is DIVA - for theses, dissertations, and reports from a number of Nordic universities. I encourage students to upload the full text of their thesis to DiVA to increase the visibility of their work and to enable it to have a greater impact on society. One can generate a variety of feeds to get information from DiVA (in Swedish). Once can also access DiVA via DiVA management UI
