If you are visiting the KTH Kista campus, there is a service center at Kistagången 16, elevator A, level 3, open during normal business hours (with an early closing on Friday).

EECS service center(s): parcels and courier deliveries to KTH Kista

To get to my office or lab, remember that when you come out of the "B" elevator at the 4th floor of the Electrum building you must turn right, then you will have to wait for me to let you in. (If you turn left, you will end up at a different department.) My lab is at approximately 59°24'18.69''N, 17°57'0.83''E.

area: Computer Communication (Datorkommunikation)
Formally the chair is described in the following Swedish: Ämnet omfattar integrerade dator- och kommunikationssystem för personlig databehandling och personalkomunikation, speciellt trådlös kommunikation och effektiva implementerings strategier. (Ref. nr 473/93). (This translates to "The area concerns integrated computer- and communication systems for personal data processing and personal communications, especially wireless communications and effective implementation strategies.")

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

As of 2021-01-01 I am 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)(ICT), in the Department of Communication Systems (CoS).

From 1 Jan. 2001 to Dec. 31, 2005, I was part of the Institutionen för Mikroelektronik och Informationsteknik (IMIT) in the departmental organization I was part of the Laboratory for Communication Networks (Avdelningen för kommunikationsätt) (LCN). At KTH prior to this, I was part of the Department of Teleinformatics (Teleinformatik).

Courses

If you are qualified and interested in the International Master's program in Internetworking or another Information Technology related program see: https://www.ict.kth.se/
If you are only interested in taking a specific course as an independent student ("fristående studerande"), see the KTH's general education information.

Research

I have had a number of projects in cooperation with researchers at Karolinska.

Earlier I was responsible for the Computer Communication Systems Lab (CCSlab). In the CCSlab information you can find out about my graduate students, research projects, papers, etc. from this earlier time.

For information about the iPAQ. For miscellaneous notes regarding various VIA Technology computers. (Both collections of information are purely to help others utilize these devices, as others have helped me by making their notes and experiences available.)

For information about version 1 and version 3 of the SmartBadge and how to program it.
Remote rebooting a version 3 badge via an Axis Communication NetEye - photos. The SmartBadge was done in cooperation with Prof. Mark T. Smith.
For information about version 4.

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.

Past Talks and publications which are available on the web.

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
