CERES – Some Highlights (1)
• ”Is established as a sustainable research environment”
• Currently we are running five (5) research projects financed by the
profile funding, and at the same time …
• … fifteen (15) projects financed by other sources
• ”Is prioritized by the University”
• CERES forms a major part of the biggest research environment at
the University: Halmstad Embedded and Intelligent Systems
Research (EIS), chosen by the University Board for application for
examination rights for PhD

CERES – Some Highlights (2)
• ”Has a rich academic and industrial network”
» Software development tools for future
manycore processors
» Jerker Bengtsson
» Collaboration with UC Berkeley
» Influences ETSI standard for future radio
communication between vehicles
» Elisabeth Uhlemann, Katrin Bilstrup

CERES – Some Highlights (3)
• ”Has strong research competence”
• ”Has high relevance to industry”
• External evaluation performed in October 2008 stated:
– The quality of the research
– Overall we find that the research conducted by the groups in EIS is very good. The
research has such high quality that it attracts national attention and performs at an
international level.
– Certain subgroups perform at excellent level. The research is of excellent quality, with
publications normally having great impact, also internationally. Without doubt, the
research has a leading position in its field in Sweden. Also, certain other subgroups have
the potential to become excellent.
– Furthermore, the long-standing collaboration with industry demonstrated by most of the
research within EIS should serve as an excellent platform for future, high quality
research and publications.
