Platform Security

Project duration: 2010-2012

Coordinator: Mads Dam

Participating groups:

• CSC - Theoretical Computer Science: Buchegger, Dam, Gurov, Wikström
• EES - Communication Networks: Dán, Karlsson, Stadler
• EES - Automatic Control: Johansson, Sandberg
• SICS - Center for Networked Systems: Gehrmann

Goals:

• To build momentum and critical mass in a research area of vital strategic importance to KTH, Swedish IT industry, and the wider society
