Curriculum Vitae
Theo G. Kanter
2014-10-08
Prof. Dr. Ing. Theo Kanter received his MSc in Electrical Engineering, cum laude, from the
University of Advanced Technology, the Netherlands in 1976. He completed studies in computer
science and artificial intelligence at the University of Technology in Linköping in Sweden (1986,
1987), before pursuing a technical doctorate in computer communications, which he earned
from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden in 2001.
During his career, Theo has held a number of leading positions in telecommunications research,
earlier at Ellemtel AB, Sweden (1996-1999), where he led research in agent-based service
architectures for context-aware voice services on the Internet. He holds a number of patents in
this area. The research which Theo led, partially in cooperation with the Ericsson Media Lab and
Telia Research, had a dramatic impact on Ericsson and TeliaSonera’s operation, since the
prototypes allowed services (both voice and data) to be moved to the Internet, both for cellular
and fixed access.
Between 1999 and 2007, Theo was a senior scientist at Ericsson Research in the area of Service
Layer Technologies focusing on Adaptive Mobile Services and Mobile Presence, contributing to
standardization in the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and Third Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP). Theo was a driving force in establishing the FP6 Ambient Networks project (IP) led by
Ericsson and contributed to the Context Network architecture. In addition, he was key player in
establishing the FP6 Mobilife project (IP), led by Nokia, which created a platform for developing
context-aware mobile applications, participating as a task leader, focused on Context Application
Networks. During this period, Theo was also affiliated as guest researcher with the Wireless
Center at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, where he lectured on Mobile
Presence, and lead research, in collaboration with HP Labs and Department of Computer and
System Sciences of Stockholm University. The research that led at KTH, explored adaptive &
context-aware mobile multimedia communication, -service architectures, & -self-organizing
application infrastructures. The early results were adopted in 3GPP standardization efforts and
Ericsson systems supporting presence-based and multi-service application, such as Push-toTalk-over-Cellular.
In September 2007, Theo was appointed full Professor of Computer Science in the area of
Distributed Systems within the Department of Information Technology and Media at the Mid
Sweden University. In this position, he was the driving force of a new research group focused on
Sensor-Based Services and co-leader of the Sensible Things that Think (STC) center at the Mid
Sweden University. As a member of the Acreo National (fiber-optic) Testbed he established a
platform for supporting and creating applications that utilize ad-hoc Context Networks via
heterogeneous networks, and selected in several IoT & Cloud related testbeds in EU projects. In
May 2010, Theo was appointed Guest Professor in the area of sensor-based mobile services
within the Department of Computer and System Sciences (DSV) at the Stockholm University. As
of 2012, he was appointed Unit Director within DSV and successfully applied to the position of
Senior Lecturer. Theo was promoted to Professor of Computer Science at SU in January 2013.
His research activities and research group are organized within the Immersive Participation
research area initiated by Theo and in international research networks pivotal to the formation
of new FP7 projects, building upon the strengths of national and international collaboration.
Kanter is an associate editor of IEEE Computer Communications magazine, and technical
committee member / (co-)organizer of many well-known international conferences on wireless
& mobile computing and applications, such as: IEEE Conference on Mobile and Wireless

3.5.9 OTHER EXPERTISE.
4 RESEARCH PLAN
At the Department of Computer and System Sciences I envisage the establishment of a research
lab which will interact with other centers both national and international, in the area of (mobile)
sensor-based services. Through insights of how to build Internet of Things infrastructures, we
will gain further insights as what it enables us to in various areas which are important to people
and our our environment. In doing so we may leverage the already existing research
collaborations with University of Bologna, Hogeschool Amsterdam, KTH, LTU, University College
London, Mid Sweden University, various big players in the telecom industry, e.g., Nokia,
Ericsson, Huawei. In doing so we seek mutual reinforcement with other centers, groups and labs
at Stockholm University , such eGovLab, Mobile Life, etc.
To this end, I took the initiative to form an Immersive Participation research agenda. The plan is
to seek continued financing for extending activities within the research agenda focusing on
immersive participation on the Internet from EU projects and Swedish national funds leveraging
existing cooperation with industry (Ericsson Research, Philips, Huawei, Telia Sonera, etc.),
research institutes (ACREO, SICS, etc.), municipalities (Stockholm, Hudiksvall, Sundsvall, etc.) as
well as other universities (KTH, BTH, MiUn, LTU, KaU, etc.), and Arts Universities. The first EU
project has already been successfully applied for already bringing 5 MSEK.
Mobile Sensor-Based Services— At the intersection of ubiquitous connectivity, networked media,
and distributed sensor & user information, sensor-based services are about providing users with
25
Curriculum Vitae
Theo G. Kanter
2014-10-08
intelligent (sensible) applications and services everywhere, leveraging communication, sensing,
and visualization, which enables us to focus on what is important and getting things done.
How we may interact with each other and the things that we use has been radically altered by
the Internet. The Internet of Things extends the Internet, connecting computers, users and
information, to connecting any observable aspect of the world with sensors & actuators. This is
further fueled by the sharing and access to user and sensor information in mobile services and
multimedia on the Internet.
This raises not only questions about required new underlying mechanisms to share, connect,
and use in the projected Internet of Things, but equally importantly this raises urgent questions
about the nature of new applications and services and how we may apply them in different
vertical segments such as logistics, health, environment, multimedia, mandating the research in
sensor-based services.
Research in horizontal enablers and vertical applications for the projected Internet of Things is
particularly important, since its development in view of the proliferation of Internet and mobile
Internet services is strongly affecting every aspect of society as well as being pivotal in the
success of Swedish industry, both ICT and otherwise. Especially so, since ICT is a driver for the
effectiveness and scope of products and services, but also since ICT creates new market
opportunities.
Research Focus — The research studies not only new models of interacting with services and
applications in vertical segments, but also investigates in detail the necessary properties of
horizontal systems, services and applications that utilize sensor and user information (context).
Of particular interest is the provision of brokering of sensor information in mobile services and
applications to 50 billion devices in 2020 that already is seen as a very conservative figure, due
to the proliferation of new “smartphones”, in essence sensor enabled Internet devices, rapidly
opening up new markets. Equally importantly, automatic connectivity is mandatory in order for
applications to access and share sensors on a global scale, as well as the ability to store and mine
information from sensors for patterns that are useful.
Approach — Through analysis of the properties of new (vertical) scenarios, we derived the
required properties of the constituent components in the architecture, and verified our results
through, e.g., prototypes or field-trials. The results of our investigations and validations ensure
that solutions later can be built and used by others.
The research has created and used a conceptual architecture for connecting sensors, people,
places, and things in applications of the digital world. In the conceptual architecture, people,
places and things are incorporated in a digital world through sensing and the sharing of
distributed context information. Application behavior is brought about by agents operating on
context modeled corresponding to the real world. Thus, key research topics are: context and
service networks, mobile agents, seamless multimedia distribution via heterogeneous
infrastructure, system economics and optimization.
5 TEACHING EXPERTISE
5.1 SELF-REFLECTION OVER THE ROLE OF TEACHER
26
Curriculum Vitae
Theo G. Kanter
2014-10-08
I am a strong believer in involving undergraduate students at an advanced level (towards a MSc)
in research projects through master thesis projects that solve a specific problem. This has the
advantage that on one hand we discover talent and on the other hand it raises the quality and
relevance of the master thesis projects. In a similar fashion, project courses in applied computer
engineering and advanced software development were tied to PhD research work.
The PhD courses that I created were specifically designed to allow students from various
universities to participate via distance-bridging tools exploiting web technologies. Discussions
among students via on-line forums promote the proliferation of new ideas. Further PhD courses
were specifically focused on producing a tentative research paper via obligating the students to
formulate a clear problem statement with lectures and reference literature as input.
5.2 TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have extensive experience from teaching within undergraduate education at basic and
advanced levels, research education, further and higher education. The details are provided
below.
5.2.1 PRE-ACADEMIC EFFORTS
Significant experience was gained in combination with managerial responsibilities from
industrial research, managing, developing, and teaching an associated advanced curriculum for
engineers within Ericsson in the 1980’s (se further appendices 10.a-e). This required
certification through a teaching educational program in collaboration with the Stockholm
Institute of Education. Appendix 10.d provides more specific details regarding pedagogical
tuition received (muntlig framställning, undervisningsmetodik, tal- och röstvård, effektiv teknisk
kommunikation) as well as responsibilities for both course development and development of a
full training program. The tuition and development of the entire curriculum was carried out in
collaboration with the Stockholm Institute of Education in a one-year project for which I was
responsible between 1984 and 1987. Courses were held in an international context and
technically very advanced context, both in Sweden and abroad. Thus, I claim to possess both the
theoretical background, teaching experience and pedagogical skills exceeding what is taught at
Stockholm University in courses UP1 and UP2 managed by UPC in requirement of the
professorship.
5.2.2 OWN TEACHING EFFORT AT UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE LEVEL
This entailed: (2) teaching at the undergraduate level and independently developing and
teaching PhD courses at the Royal Institute of Technology (Wireless@KTH) between 1998 and
2003, there is (3) extensive experience from the Mid Sweden University from 2007 until present.
Since joining the Mid Sweden University I redesigned, re-authored and taught the major part of
the Wireless Internet Access course, 7.5 hp. My responsibility was to make the course current, as
it was based on outdated concepts. Further, I am the examiner of courses Applied Computer
Engineering and Advanced Software Development, both 7.5 hp. As a part of the research
environment that I created focusing on Digital Presence based on sensor-based services and
infrastructure, I created a two PhD courses focusing on Mobile Presence and Context as well as a
new course which is being developed, focusing on Internet of Things infrastructures and
applications

Thus, I am subject responsible for the subject of Computer Science at the undergraduate level, as
well as at the graduate level (PhD studies). In addition, I taught classes in Wireless Internet
Access, 7.5 hp credits. Moreover, I created two PhD courses on Mobile Presence & Context and
Internet of Things Distributed Context Models. Further, I am the examiner of Advanced Software
Development (7.5 hp credits) as well Applied Computer Engineering (7.5 hp credits). Finally, I
am the co-adviser and examiner of a long list of bachelor and master thesis projects.

5.2.3 PERSONAL PEDAGOGICAL IDEAS ABOUT UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE
TEACHING
From past (industrial) and more recent (academic) experiences I strongly believe that education
should be linked to problems that exist in the real world. This can be achieved by tying bachelor
or master thesis projects to the efforts of doctoral students working in research projects that are
run in collaboration with industry. Further, it is important to stress the guided independence of
students, requiring them to work independently under supervision, and explain their decisions
with respect to clearly defined goals, that are set before the work is undertaken. In this process
we have to ensure that a scientific method is applied, meaning that from clear objectives, a
method and approach has to be selected, and that through verification, validation the student
has to be able to explain to what extent the results meet the objectives and any existing
discrepancies. This way, we produce (1) independently thinking individuals equipped to take on
responsibilities in future positions, (2) results that directly feed into research projects, but more
importantly ensure that link undergraduate and graduate education, and finally.
5.3 EXPERIENCE AS SUPERVISOR
My qualifications as a supervisor are based on a course for supervision of graduate studies given
on August 28-29 2003. I participated in this course after the doctoral defense, while employed at

5.4 STUDIES IN EDUCATIONAL PEDAGOGY
KTH Course on advising PhD Students 2003 — The Royal Institute of Technology arranged a
seminars for the advisors of graduate studies in which I participated on August 28-29, 2003 –
see further attachments 3 and 4.
Ericsson AB teacher course development and training curriculum 1980 — Significant experience
was gained in combination with managerial responsibilities from (1), industrial research,
managing, developing, and teaching an associated advanced curriculum for engineers within
Ericsson in the 1980’s. This required certification through a teaching educational program in
collaboration with the Stockholm Institute of Education. This was considered comparable to 7,5
credit university pedagogical training in the evaluation for the professorship by the Mid Sweden
University. In addition, according to SUHF’s national recommendations for teacher training from
2005 — Through the above and below documented curriculum and experience, I have
developed the comparable knowledge, skills and attitudes as a basis to work professionally as a
teacher in higher education based on the following criteria:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Knowledge of student learning in higher education from theory and research in
Educational Science or equivalent on the basis of relevant artistic development.
Ability to plan, teach, examine and evaluate higher education in science or art in their
own field of knowledge and support of individual and group learning.
A reflective approach to their teaching role and to civic values such as scientific / artistic,
democracy, equality and equal treatment time higher education.
Knowledge of the goals of society and legislation governing the activities of higher
education.
Ability to utilize, analyze and communicate their own and others' experience and
relevant research findings / results of artistic development as a basis for development of
education and of their own profession.
And carrying an independent project which deals with education and teaching within
their area of knowledge related to relevant educational theory and research.
5.5 COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF EDUCATION
Course development with documentation, if any, for example showing how course evaluations have
been used for further course development.
5.5.1 ERICSSON TECHNICAL TRAINING CURRICULUM (1980-1985)

Curriculum Vitae
Theo G. Kanter
2014-10-08
Between 1980 and 1986 I was responsible for developing an advanced curriculum for
maintenance staff concerning novel test systems at Ericsson and teaching these course to an
international audience both in Sweden and abroad. We developed a curriculum for the projected
tasks that were envisaged for these new complex systems. These courses were available as a
modular set enabling students to return and build upon previous courses. The content of these
courses was technically advanced; comparable to graduate courses in an academic program.
The novelty and complexity of technologies involved required in particular innovation of
teaching methods. For instance, I developed appreciated Computer Based Training and
simulation software system; in addition to the development of written material. Concerning
assessment of our training methods and content, we monitored and evaluated constantly how
successful our methods were for educating customers. We also evaluated the subsequent
performance of Ericsson staff because of the high commercial value of these systems. Further
field studies (facilitated by long-term relations with our customers) provided important
feedback with we utilized to further improve our methods.
The curriculum consisted of three one-week (40 h.) courses, which were held at an average rate
of 4 times a year. The quality and content was monitored continuously together with student
feedback.

7 EXTERNAL CONTACTS AND ACTIVITIES
7.1 INTERACTION WITH SOCIETY, INDUSTRY
Patents with Ellemtel, Ericsson AB, see subsection 3.2.6, “Other Scientific Works.
There exists a considerable and increasing research collaboration, which I am leading, between
Stockholm University, Ericsson Research, Acreo, and the STC@MIUN center of the Mid Sweden
University focusing on multimedia and sensor services for IoT applications and infrastructure.
These activities entail service provisioning and evaluation leveraging several testbeds, among
which the Acreo National Testbed (ANT2) together with a large number of partners. Results
have been created in a new joint Vinnova project focused safe delivery of sensor services to
households in Stockholm, Hudiksvall and Sundsvall providing important insights regarding
requirements for IoT infrastructure, in particular mobile, along with processing & management
of massive information flows .
The perceived need for research is currently channeled by me to the SSF and Vinnova research
planning processes. In addition IoT service infrastructure requirements are channeled via the
Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA.
Intelligenta Social Artifacter (SU/MIUN, financed by iPack) is yet another exponent of
collaboration with industry, in which printed electronics combined with mobile communication
has recently attracted interest from SCA and Ericsson.
7.1.1 AUTHORITIES

Curriculum Vitae
8 PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
Theo G. Kanter
2014-10-08
The applicant should describe his or her own personality in a manner that makes it possible to
assess the ability to work with others, and the suitability for employment as described in the job
announcement. (max 4500 char.)
The above, albeit lengthy, track record demonstrates that I possess the qualifications needed to
succeed in creating results as an independent researcher in the area of sensor-based services in
collaboration with colleagues, students, external organizations.
Such a production is only possible if one is genuinely interested in sharing knowledge and work
together with others. I am a very productive person, very much goal-oriented with a preference
to create win-win situations such that others feel empowered and contribute to creating new
results. Results are not created in isolation, and I perceive myself as somebody who creates a
good atmosphere and is easy to work with. I very much believe in the instinctive interest in
others to be empowered with new knowledge and capabilities and achieve new things, and
enjoy seeing that happen. Simultaneously I strongly believe in a structured way of working while
allowing creativity; and I believe my track record proves that I have been able to balance these
aspects in a constantly changing research environment. In this, I seem to draw upon what seems
to be a natural talent for creative application of technology, drawing upon personal combining
artistic and scientific traits.
On a personal level, I believe professional life needs to be balanced by, e.g., family life, socializing
with friends. I am still under the impression that I have hobbies but creativity is mostly
demonstrated in building things, redecorating the house, etc. My garage band and painting will
not be revived until my retirement, unfortunately.
