Founded in 2007, the Pervasive Computing Group at Klagenfurt University is part of the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems (NES).

Its research is focused on theoretical and practical aspects of innovative pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Research topics include smart cameras, sensor networks, sensor fusion and embedded signal processing architectures. Our research is conducted in close cooperation with national and international partners both in academia as well as in industry.

Our teaching activities cover fundamentals, technologies and applications of pervasive computing for students of information technology and computer science. Dedicated lab courses help students to acquire practical experiences, and seminars address recent topics of pervasive computing research. At the graduate level, we currently offer courses on fundamentals and advanced topics on pervasive computing, digital signal processors and radio frequency identification (RFID). At the undergraduate level, we offer a lecture on digital system design and a lab course on fundamentals of ICT.

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.
