May be he don’t like his comments to be published online with name.. So I am hiding his name but this professor for sure rules.. His answers are simple and to the point.. I hope I can become that clear minded. Amin
QuestionMy perception is this that all the courses in Swedish universities are offered based on the feedback from industry. So i was wondering what was the actual motivation behind starting "Interactive System Engineering". Is Sweden looking for professionals in this area? If yes is it for some industry or research. AS far as I know Sweden is taking part in two of the "Disappearing-Computer" initiative. But I guess there should be more reasons then this to start an international program. I hope sir you can tell me something, which will be helpful in deciding my career.
Answerthe actual motivation is not direct demand from industry but our perception of future developments based upon our research experiences (as you have noted e.g. the disappearing computer research).
QuestionAlso, sir I had some other options available for studies. I have refused all of them apart from one which was TUCS (partially because of higher percentage of paid thesis grant + flexibility in coursework design).. But as far as I know KTH is higher ranked then TUCS and Interactive System Engineering is more futuristic than most of the software engineering fields). But what I don't know is the standing of KTH in Computer sciences in Nordic region. Sir I hope you can give me some personal opinion on research and education standard of KTH vs. others.
AnswerMy personal opinion is that KTH has an excellent research and education record which is in the top league in Europe, and probably also worldwide
QuestionLast but not least, Sir what you think is better keeping in future IT demands. Specific MS or General MS. I have seen that most if the USA MS are very general as compared to EU. And Swedish MS are very specific.
AnswerKTH offers both general and specific M Sc courses but I feel that the specific ones are the best bet for the time being as there are more than enough general educated scholars around

A fact generally overlooked in selecting the university is the weather of that area. With effectively 4-5 non-snow months this can be a bit teasy at times.
If you are willing to overlook that then perhaps you should compare the no and diversity of companies (if you can get that information) coming at each university, the employement rate of graduates at each uni.
I am not a big fan of general distributed track as it has less practical implications. If you want to get a distributed track, it should in my opinon, contain a mix of advanced networks (like multimedia networks), databases, NETWORK SECURITY, and parallel processing.
cheers
