Overview

The Internet Of Things is today recognized as the latest frontier of Information Technology.

It is concerned with the new generation of systems of networked devices that are becoming capable of sensing, transmitting and acting on data, and integrates emerging and highly strategic research trends such as

Homeland Security,

Data Science,

Smart Services,

Artificial Intelligence

Distributed Computing.

The IoT paradigm pervades a potentially unlimited number of application domains, where the interconnection between the physical (people, machines, products) and the virtual (communication and data collection, analysis and processing) worlds gains a new valuable meaning that extends the traditional vision of the Internet to the connection of ‘things' that are part of the physical world and give rise to smart environments.

Skills Areas

Several official reports place IoT as a new and transformative technology domain that will require millions of skilled professionals worldwide by 2020.

The innovative MSc in Computer Science - Internet of Things at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Salerno is meant to meet such a demand and educate a new generation of highly skilled specialists who are able to fully exploit the potential that these technologies offer.

The two-years program will provide you with advanced knowledge and skills in four essential and critical areas:

- Data Science, which is essential for getting value from the IOT. Data massively and pervasively collected from connected objects may give rise to invaluable knowledge with high scientific/technological potentials, for which mastery of Data Science methodologies is needed

- Intelligent and context-aware systems, coping with the adoption of advanced machine learning techniques for the development of smart embedded system which exhibit highly adaptive behaviours.
- Distributed computing and systems, concerned with cloud computing, enabling technologies, protocols, software architectures and applications for the development of the emerging Internet of Things.
- Cybersecurity, focusing on security and privacy issues in IoT environments, on the organizational risks posed by IoT networks, and on the principles of IoT device vulnerabilities. You will learn how to recognize the potential security risks in a given IoT environment and how to best mitigate them.
- Dependability and usability, concerned with methodologies and techniques of software quality analysis, design, and verification, in particular in the context of complex and critical software systems.
