Dear Professor..., It is my great pleasure to learn that the board of the Linköping Institute of Technology has appointed you as a member of the examination committee. Thank you very much for accepting this assignment.

The Department of Computer and Information Science at Linköping University is conducting research at a high international level. Hence, our requirements regarding the quality of a doctoral thesis are similar to those of other internationally recognized research universities. The present thesis is the result of a 4-5 year long doctoral education.

The examination committee should evaluate the thesis. This is a very important assignment, which requires that every member of the examination committee has thoroughly read the thesis. During the meeting of the committee every member is expected to comment on the content of the thesis as well as the oral defence. The committee can only make its decision if all members are present. Therefore, it is very important that your travel arrangements allow you to attend the whole meeting.
