- Autonomic Complex Communication nEtworks, Signals and Systems

ACCESS (Autonomic Complex Communication nEtworks, Signals and Systems) är ett Linnaeus Centre som grundades på KTH genom ett tioårigt stipendium om 111,5 miljoner kronor från Vetenskapsrådet. Centret har dock en total forskingsbudget på 50 miljoner kronor som finansieras av bland annat EU, VINNOVA, SSF. Centret utgör en betydande del av den grundläggande forskningen inom komplexa kommunikationsnätverk och system i Sverige. De tematiska forskningsområden är infrastruktur, utspritt handhavande, nätverksbaserade tjänster, signal- och systemteori. Centret har 35 seniorforskare och 80 doktorander. Initiativet till ACCESS togs av åtta olika forskningsgrupper på KTH: Reglerteknik, Kommunikationsnät, kommunikationsteori, biologisk fysik och beräkningsbiologi, Formella metoder, Optimeringslära och systemteori, signalbehandling, Ljud- och bildbehandling.

As scientists and citizens we feel a particular need to be better informed, and to learn the larger picture. ACCESS Distinguished Lecture Series brings eminent speakers from prestigious universities to KTH from around the world. As part of ACCESS mission to interface with society many of these lectures extend to broader popular areas of interest, such as the sub-prime crisis, the roles that popularity and novelty play in eliciting attention in the Web or systems for intelligent buildings and environmental monitoring.
