Course Description
This interdisciplinary course addresses sustainability, climate change, and how to combine economic development with a healthy environment. The course explores greening the economy and the sustainable development goals on four levels – individual, business, city, and nation, and looks at the relationships between these levels. Practical examples of the complexities and solutions across each level are discussed. A particular focus is placed on examples from Scandinavia, but the course also features examples from Europe and around the world, which taken together provide a practical starting point for learning about greening the economy and the relationship to sustainable development goals.

Course Description
This course examines in depth the extensive structural and economic changes which have characterized Sweden since the mid-18th century and the concept of "The Swedish Model". This takes the form of a chronological analysis of the rapid transition from a typical poor agrarian society to an industrial welfare state. The course considers the following questions: Which were the driving forces behind the development? Why did they occur so late? Which were the production factors so favorable to Sweden?

Course Description
This course provides an up-to-date introduction to topic information theory. The course emphasizes both the formal development of the theory and the engineering implications for the design of communication systems and other information handling systems. The course includes: Shannon's information measure and its relatives, both for the discrete and continuous case; Three fundamental information theorems: typical sequences, source coding theorem and channel coding theorem; Source coding: optimal coding and construction of Huffman codes, as well as universal source coding such as Ziv-Lempel coding (zip, etc.); Channel coding: principles of error detection and correction on a noisy channel, mainly illustrated by Hamming codes; Gaussian channel: continuous sources and additive white noise over both band limited and frequency selective channels; Derivation of the fundamental Shannon limit; Discrete input Gaussian channel: Maximum achievable rates for PAM and QAM, Coding and Shaping gain, and SNR gap; Rate distortion theory: source coding theorem and the fundamental limit revisited when a certain level of distortion is allowed.

Course Description
The course gives a deep understanding of principles, functions, and techniques that form the foundation of communication networks with an emphasis on wireless communication systems. In particular, the course covers these functions' behavior and performance based on the stochastic nature of the data streams in modern communication networks. The course covers both public systems (3G, LTE) and technologies for wireless local networks (WLAN, Ad-Hoc, and mesh networks). The course gives an understanding of how these systems integrate more and more, advantages and disadvantages, as well as problems and their solutions in connection with this integration. The courses also discusses current and future trends in network systems such as Internet of Things and Tactile Internet, and the enabling technologies being developed for them. The course structure contains lectures and exercises, as well as a lab on network simulation and data analysis. Further, students complete a group-based system design project. The course is divided into the following modules: review of probability, stochastic processes and basic computer networking; medium access control using reservation schemes and random access schemes; network architectures for licensed and unlicensed spectrum; modelling for performance analysis; traffic management: queueing systems and congestion and flow control. The following systems and technologies are covered: cellular systems (GSM, UMTS, LTE and a discussion of 5G); MAC protocols: ALOHA, CSMA, 802.11 (WiFi), including the Bianchi model of 802.11; congestion and flow control techniques such as Random Early Detection, token bucket schemes; queueing disciplines such as priority queueing, weighted fair queueing, class based queueing TCP flow and congestion control and retransmission strategies.

Course Description
The purpose of the course is to introduce discrete event simulation, basic optimization approaches, and heuristic methods such as simulated annealing, tabu search, and evolutionary algorithms. The course begins by studying discrete event simulation. Students learn to write process-oriented and event-scheduling simulation programs in general programming languages. Estimation of accuracy, random number generation, methods for studying rare events, verification and validation are also covered. The next topic covered is optimization techniques. Linear programs (LP) and the simplex algorithm are studied. This is followed by integer programming (IP) and Mixed Integer Programming (MIP), the relation between IP and LP, and the branch-and-bound method for IP. Finally, heuristic and meta-heuristic methods for combinatorial optimization problems are viewed as optimization through simulation. The local search and its most common variations are explained along with the Monte Carlo techniques.
