This course gives an in-depth and self-contained introduction to stochastic geometry and random graphs, applied to the analysis and design of modern wireless systems. In many such systems, including cellular, ad hoc, sensor, and cognitive networks, users or terminals are mobile or deployed in irregular patterns, which introduces considerable uncertainty in their locations. Since signal powers and interference depend critically on the node distances, it is essential that the network geometry be accurately modeled for analysis and design purposes. As a consequence, stochastic geometry and the theory of random geometric graphs have emerged as essential tools for research in wireless networks. In the last decade, these techniques have led to important results and insights on the connectivity, capacity, and fundamental limits of wireless networks, and the coverage of sensor networks, and, in view of new emerging types of wireless networks such as cognitive and mesh networks and femtocell and relaying approaches to enhance cellular systems, their importance will only increase.

This one-day workshop will be organized in Helsinki. The day is guided by Björn Niehaves and Kevin Ortbach from Univerisity of Münster, Germany. Themes for the day include a theoretical framework for understanding BPM conceptualizations and emergent activities, BPM maturity models (presenting and criticizing few of them, applying and further developing them). Also social BPM is discussed: How to involve stakeholders in business process innovations via social media?

A short course by prof. Martin Höst, Director of the M.Sc. Programme in Computer Science and Engineering at Lund University.

In this event two leading researchers and developers of cloud computing discuss topics around cloud computing, including security issues, service engineering, and possibilities for innovative companies.

This course will study how cognitive radio systems can enable dynamic spectrum access networking in order to achieve more efficient utilization of wireless spectrum. Topics to be covered include wireless spectrum occupancy characterization, on-contiguous transmission techniques, cognitive radio optimization and adaptation, and implementation of adaptive communication algorithms on software-defined radio platforms.

Information technologies (IT) are more and more embedded in the structures of society, business, and private lives; therefore we are facing complicated moral challenges in the application and use of IT: intellectual property rights, security, privacy, reliability, internet-ethics, for example. In this seminar on computer ethics, the nature of evolving IT and the reasons why they produce moral conflicts is introduced. Also the current themes on the research on computer ethics are presented from the scientific and business viewpoints. There are apparent needs to develop computing research to take ethical and moral viewpoints into account. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to take into account these viewpoints.

This event is meant for PhD students and researchers to present their research plans and publication drafts.

Jan Damsgaard is professor and the director of Center for Applied Information and Communication Technology at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and Psychology and a Ph.D. in Information Systems.

This workshop is meant for IT practitioners and researchers to give means to use existing knowledge in their organization to create new innovations. The workshop also provides hand-on exercises on how to build a solid theoretical basis for digital innovation research.
