Learning Outcomes
The main goals of this curricular unit are:
- To introduce topics that are beyond the elementary curriculum in computer science (but envisioned in the ACM/IEEE international curricula), or that, given their specificity, cannot be a curricular unit per se, but could be discussed in greater detail during the student’s project/internship, in the following semester.
- Encourage students to follow research oriented careers (master’sdegree or PhD)
- Encourage students to engage in research activities, related to the specialization area of ISMT faculty members.
In the academic year of 2017/18, the following topics, among others, will be held within the seminars:
- Emergent Technologies
- New Generation Networks and IoT
- Smart Cities
- Industry 4.0
- Artificial Intelligence
- Ubiquitous Computation
- Cibersecurity
- Robotics
- Computer Vision
- Blockchain
