Master's Thesis Project

In order to receive my Master of Science in Computing Science and Engineering, I need to finish my curricula with a larger project to confirm my academic skills. Nominally, the common Master's Thesis should take 20 working weeks but practically, they tend to be somewhat extended. However, I will try to finish on time.

Title	To be filled in, eventually ;-) Global optimizations in the Erlang compiler is a suitable working title.
Specification	[pdf]
Project funder	Ericsson Utvecklings AB
External supervisor	Björn Gustavsson, bjorn@erix.ericsson.se
Internal supervisor	Lennart Edblom, edblom@cs.umu.se
Duration	1/8 1999 - 1/1 2000
Timeplan/Track of Progress	I don't see why they cannot be combined, do you?
Current status	Have turned in the specification to the departement coordinator of Master's Thesis projects Have signed the contract between me and Ericsson Utvecklings AB Will inquire about suitable literature for rainy days (have found some on my own though) Have installed myself in a nice little office at Ericsson in Älvsjö (I share it with another Master's Thesis Worker, Robert Lundquist from DVP-Uppsala) Have configured the window-manager and working enviroment of my Ericsson user very close to the state my student account had evolved to over the years since -93 Have brought a micro stereo system and one plant (will bring another one too) This little list is outdated. Please consult the Timeplan/Track of Progress above instead.
