The curriculum comprises lectures, tutorials, seminars and practical training in the laboratory for the study programs 'Information technology' and 'Informatics'. Bachelor degree courses are offered specifically in the subjects 'Electricity and Magnetism', 'Signals and Systems' and 'Circuits and Electronics'. In the master degree program, students can specialize in 'Mobile and Wireless Systems', 'Embedded Systems' and 'Pervasive Computing'. International guest professors complete the teaching program.

The institute was founded in January 2007 as part of the Department of Technical Sciences and is located in the Lakeside Science & Technology Park[1]. The institute has currently 37 employees in three research groups:

- Embedded Systems and Signal Processing (Professor Huemer),

- Mobile Systems (Professor Bettstetter) and

- Pervasive Computing (Professor Rinner).

The portfolio includes not only basic research but also projects with selected international and national partners in industry and science. A particular focus is on projects at Lakeside Labs, a research center for self-organizing networked systems, closely linked to the university.

It is the mission of the institute to create the future with excellent achievements in research and teaching, in an international and impressive atmosphere.
