Course Description
The course establishes a foundation for understanding and analyzing information and information systems in organizations. It provides an overview of technical and organizational aspects of decision support systems (DSS), including individual, group, and organizational DSS as well as executive information systems (EIS). Management of DSS and EIS within the end-user computing environment are also discussed. The course covers more recent technologies, including Data Warehouse / Data Mining, and OLAP technologies. The course is design-oriented and emphasizes conceptual foundations of DSS and EIS, but DSS software reviews, demonstrations, laboratory lessons, and case examples are also included.

Course Description
Surface and colloid chemistry is a knowledge area with numerous applications within all areas of chemical and biotechnological engineering. For instance almost all foods, numerous drugs, biological systems, bacterial suspensions, many polymer materials, all ceramic materials, multiphase processes and most chemical-technical consumer products are dispersions or by other means colloidal. The course is based on surface-active components. Both synthetic and natural amphiphiles are treated. Different phases (micellar, liquid crystalline and microemlsions) as well as aggregates such as vesicles are studied. A central concept is interparticular interactions in relation to colloidal stability. The role of surface activity in controlling interactions through adsorption and non-adsorption is discussed in relation to technical functionality in systems like emulsions and foams. The role of surface activity for wetting, filtration, dewetting, and sintering is discussed. A generally important aspect is how the material properties of dispersed systems are influenced by colloidal interactions and surface phenomena's. The exercise part of the course treats quantitative aspects of the theory as well as problem solving in colloid chemistry. The labs are aimed to illustrate how different surface and colloidal system might be constructed and work. The projects consist of an analysis of surface and colloidal aspects of manufacturing, formulation or application of a consumer product with relevance to the interest of the student.

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 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.
