Research activity

Reasearch in Dept. of Pervasive Computing varies a lot from very theoretical topics to quite pragmatic applications. Characteristic to our research is co-operation with the industry and practical applications. Research-work is funded by TEKES (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation), Academy of Finland, EU comission and industry.

There are several distinguishable themes in our research:

Webbiapplications ja cloud services (Tommi Mikkonen, Kari Systä)
Patterns (Kai Koskimies, Veli-Pekka Eloranra)
Software architechtures (Kai Koskimies, Johannes Koskinen)
Testing methodologies (Hannu-Matti Järvinen, Mika Katara)
Open source applications (Imed Hammouda, Tommi Mikkonen)
Software engineering methodologies and practices(Kari Systä, Tommi Mikkonen)
Usability and user experience (Kaisa Väänänen-Vainio-Mattila, Timo Saari)
Positioning methods and navigation (Jarmo Takala)
Application specific processors (Timo D. Hämäläinen)
Architechture design (Jarmo Takala)
Wireless sensor networks (Marko Hännikäinen)
Information security (Jarmo Harju)
Learning methods research (Hannu-Matti Järvinen)
