Welcome to ELLIIT
ELLIIT is a strategic research environment funded by the Swedish government in 2010, as part of its initiative to support strong research in information technology and mobile communications. ELLIIT has four partners: Linköping University, Lund University, Halmstad University and Blekinge Institute of Technology. ELLIIT constitutes a platform for both fundamental and applied research, and for cross-fertilization between disciplines and between academic researchers and industry experts. ELLIIT stands out by the quality and visibility of its publications, and its ability to attract and retain top talented researchers, and aims at being recognized as a top international research organization.
ELLIIT achieves its goals by a judicious choice of funded focus projects, a structured process for international recruitment, a balanced way of stimulating cooperation between research areas and between the sites involved (LiU, LU, BTH, HH), and a proactive approach towards fostering and maintaining cooperation with Swedish industry. The overarching objective of ELLIIT is to support scientific excellence in combination with industrial relevance and impact.

Workshop on Fog Computing and the Internet of Things (Fog-IoT 2019), co-located with CPS-IoT Week 2019
When cyber-physical systems become interconnected with each other and with the Internet, they are called the Internet of Things (IoT), forming "the infrastructure of the information society". Fog Computing is a "system-level architecture that distributes resources and services of computing, storage, control and net-working anywhere along the continuum from Cloud to Things" and is about to tremendously impact the IoT.
The Fog-IoT 2019 workshop will be co-located with CPS-IoT Week 2019, taking place in Montreal, Canada, April 15-18, 2019. The workshop itself takes place on April 15th.
ELLIIT Workshop, 22-23 October 2018

Photon Mapping using Historygrams
Medical modalities such as CT scanners are generating increasingly large data. In just a few seconds thousands 
of 2D slices can be extracted and be put together to a volume of data representing the human body. Researchers in ELLIIT have developed new methods for ultra realistic volume rendering of this data. The illumination of the data is based on tracing of virtual photons that are allowed to scatter in the participating volumetric media. This generates images with realistic light conditions such as shadows and gloss. The computational complexity of tracing photons is reduced by using novel data representations which take into account which photons that are affected by changes of visualization parameters and "remembers" the path of the photons. We have named these data structures "Historygrams" and for the first time we can achieve interactive interaction with ultra realistic volume rendered images. The work will be presented at the upcoming IEEE Visualization conference in Seattle in October 2012.
