ACCESS the future
- Autonomic Complex Communication nEtworks, Signals and Systems
It is a networked world: People communicate independent of distance and time; systems communicate with systems as connectivity becomes a natural feature of any electronic device. Communication networks are vital infrastructures in our society and the basis of more and more services that we take for granted; from connectivity of personal devices in the home and car to global communication and positioning via satellite systems. At the core of these systems are some fundamental technical issues: they must be designed to carry out the intended functions; the systems must perform efficiently and predictably; they must be manageable, controllable, and upgradeable and they must be reliable to the point of being infallible. Together with industrial partners, ACCESS researchers at KTH aim at developing fundamental understanding and engineering principles for designing self-managed and scalable communication networks in which applications may share real-time information and cooperate in an efficient, affordable, and reliable manner.
ACCESS is hosted by the KTH School of Electrical Engineering. Our main activities are located on the KTH Campus, Osquldas väg 10.

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.

Nano makes complexity possible
Wallenberg scholar interview with Karl Henrik Johansson on the future of wireless telecommunication systems.
Complexity is becoming the condition as systems become more networked. Taking into account that system components are also getting smaller by the day with nano technology.
How can we build these complex technical systems and get them to behave the way we want?
