Overview

In Computer Science, the question is what types of calculations is it possible to introduce in computer-based systems. The issue can be tackled at a basic level where one seeks general principles and fundamental boundaries for what is possible, but also based on a certain family of intended areas of application or with inspiration of how living organisms can be thought to function.

Research

One of the reasons for studying the area is to clarify the conditions for creating sustainable computer technology infrastructures in society. The application areas that are particularly relevant at KKTH Royal Institute of Technology TH are biology, information systems, internet technology, robotics, vision systems and language technology.
