The research focuses on the scalable integration of sensor and user information from different sources in realtime in order to make enable timely and intelligent service decisions in different user scenarios, such commuting, healthcare, seamless multimedia, etc. Key topics such as presence and awareness entail mechanisms and protocols for efficient and scalable acquisition, dissemination, and discovery of such information along with modeling.
The research in Sensor-Based Services is conducted in cooperation with the Department of Computer & System Sciences with Stockholm University and the research is associated with the KK-environment STC within the Mid-Sweden University.

Secure ICT for Home Environments - InSIKT (2011-2013), funded by Vinnova , public sector, and industry such as Ericsson Research is a 3 year project in collaboration with Acreo AB, to deliver secure services for different scenarios to homes, based on the MediaSense platform. The project addresses technical solutions enabling personal integrity of a home ICT infrastructure in order to provide individuals with secure applications, such as monitoring, home healthcare, energy management, and control of home connected appliances.
Past Projects
MediaSense (2008-2010), funded by EU-Structure Funds 2, regional public sector, and industry such as Ericsson Research and Teliacreated an open technology platform for the integration of distributed user and sensor information in mobile services. Further it addressed Interactive multimedia services focusing on user needs and utility on top of a technology platform combining multimedia distribution, sensor & user information, service control via fixed and mobile infrastructure, also addressing business models.
