NUTEK’s Competence Center ISIS Information Systems for Industrial Control and Supervision

The first phase of ISIS has resulted in well established links between the participating companies and the research groups at LiTH (Linköpings Tekniska Högskola). The main activities within ISIS has been the research projects. These are chosen to be of central importance for the participating companies and many of the project results are of immediate industrial significance. The perhaps most difficult balance to strike within the competence center is to carry out research at the international frontier and deliver high quality theses, at the same time as the results are of direct use and interest to the participating companies. We feel that we have been successful in finding this balance during the first phase of ISIS. Five Licentiate Theses and two PhD these have been produced, as well as some 15 international publications, in close cooperation with the participating companies. In addition to the projects, ISIS runs so called TKG-groups which aim at a broad, not project-oriented, contact surface with the companies. These consist of some 6-8 people from the company in question and representatives from the research groups. ISIS also runs a series of seminars and half-day workshops.
