Embedded Systems and Signal Processing Group

The group

The Embedded Systems and Signal Processing Group focuses on the system-, algorithmic-, architectural- and hardware-oriented aspects of embedded systems. Application areas are short range and cellular wireless systems, wireless positioning systems as well as automotive applications. Our vision is to work on long term research projects as well as on short term topics, the latter in close cooperation with industry partners.

In teaching we are involved in the Bachelor and Master programs Information Technology, where we are committed to giving high quality lectures and lab courses. In addition we provide optimum conditions for diploma and master thesis, student projects, and internships.

Established in March 2007, the group is lead by Prof. Mario Huemer, and is part of the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems. We are located in the Lakeside Science and Technology Park.

NES-Professors Bettstetter, Rinner and Huemer

NES third-party funding exceeds 2 million Euro per year!

Since its foundation in the year 2007, the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems (NES) has acquired 6.4 million Euro of third-party research funding, corresponding to a monthly rate of 50.000 EUR per professor. The grants and contracts include about 1.5 million from the EU, 1 million from national funds, 1 million from industry, and 2.5 million via the Lakeside Labs research cluster. By the end of this year, NES will provide 40 full-time jobs for ICT researchers, where 3/4 of them are funded externally.

Our proposal for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate program "Interactive and Cognitive Environments" has been recently accepted. This new training and research program will be offered by the Klagenfurt University in cooperation with the University of Genova (coordinator), UPC Barcelona, TU Eindhoven, and Queen Mary University of London. It is expected to start in fall 2010, offering about 15 PhD scholarships per year.

Erasmus Mundus promotes scientific excellence and mobility in higher education in Europe. The selection process of the doctoral schools was very competitive: Out of about 150 proposals, 13 proposals have been selected. Klagenfurt is the only Austrian university participating in an Erasmus Mundus doctorate program.
