- Learning outcomes
- The course is designed to train people able to carry out academic and industrial research and to work as managers in companies. In this sense we expect that each ph.d. student will produce original, relevant and significant research results, which can take the form of scientific publications, software production or more generally innovative applications, on one or more of the following topics:
- Distributed systems and distributed algorithms
- Programming languages and systems
- Computer Networks and Applications
- Methodologies and software engineering
- Formal methods and semantics of programming languages
- Artificial intelligence
- Real-time systems and fault-tolerant
- Parallel algorithms and probabilistic algorithms
- Image Processing
- Bioinformatics and biometrics
- Information systems and databases
- Concurrency theory
- Security
- Logical foundations of computer science
- Multimedia systems - Activities to be carried out by Doctoral candidates
- At the beginning of the course each PhD candidate is supported by a supervisor (and also by a co-supervisor if the supervisor is not a member of the Collegio dei Docenti (Academic Board), who guides them throughout the Ph.D. studies. The first 24 months are devoted to the integration and deepening of the candidate's expertise, according to a personalized learning plan (drawn up by the student in agreement with the tutor and then submitted to the Academic Board for approval). The learning plan foresees reaching 30 CFU (credits) by attending courses and passing the corresponding exams.
- Research training activities compliant with the Doctoral programme's learning outcomes
- By the 15th month (from the beginning of the course) the PhD candidate must submit a written thesis proposal to the Academic Board for approval. By the end of the 24th month the PhD candidate must have completed the personalized learning plan and must report on the progress of the thesis draft. The passage to the next year, approved by the Board, takes place on the basis of the candidate public presentation. The third year is entirely devoted to the thesis work. The Board finally approves the admission to the final exam, on the basis of the reviewers' comments. The Board may authorize a PhD candidate to spend a period in Italy at universities, research centers or companies. It is mandatory for the PhD candidate to spend a period of at least 3 months abroad, during the 2nd or the 3rd year of the course. The thesis will be discussed at the end of the Ph.D. course.
- Internationalization features
- The course issues a joint doctoral degree on the basis of agreements for co-tutorship with:
- Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France, agreement finalized.
- Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, France, agreement finalized.
- Université Paris 7 - Diderot, agreement finalized.
- Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble), agreement finalized
- Université Paris XIII, France, agreement finalized.
- Université de Lyon, agreement finalized.
- Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaiso, Chile, agreement finalized.
- University College Cork, Ireland, agreement finalized.
Co-tutorships concern both incoming students (i.e. students from other foreign universities - French - asking to write their PhD thesis with the supervision of members of the faculty board) and outgoing students (our students that write the phd thesis with the supervision of a foreign professor). Moreover, an agreement has been signed with National Chiao Tung University - NCTU (Taiwan) essentially aimed at the subscription of PhD co-tutorship conventions between UNIBO and NCTU. - Expected research results and products
