Description
The Computer Science and Applications Research Area supports a broad research agenda in the two main fields of Computer Networks and Architectures and Software Systems for Global Computing.
The themes covered include, but are not limited to: advanced communication paradigms for future internet, architectures for model driven software development, complex systems, economically principled growing model of the internet, formal methods for software validation and verification, greening of the future internet, infrastructure-free communications and self-organization, model checking, orchestration and coreography languages, probabilistic and stochastic interactive models and logics, process calculi and high level languages for global computing, wireless enabled context awareness.
The research groups integrate the efforts of professors, researchers, and PhD students in both theoretical and applied problems, involving a wide range of topics and methodologies, with a strong collaborative and interdisciplinary approach.
Research Units/Projects
Research Units are created within and across the Research Area to meet the evolution of frontiers of scientific research, combining scientific rigor and relevance in research activities id high relevance for applications and policy.
Research Units can host one or more research projects.
Current research units:
-
C3 − Culture, Communication & Computing:
The C3 unit, Culture, Communication & Computing design unit at the IMT Lucca aim at conducting and design innovative research, technologies and application to explore new paradigms related to cultural heritage, to rethink how innovative technologies can improve users' activities & experiences, and generate new concepts to enrich the user experience in the context of cultural heritage. With a strong design approach, we are interested in exploring the emerging paradigms to combine the cultural, the social and the physical space.
We research the emerging potentialities of mobile computing, context awareness, new narratives and environmental monitoring techniques.
The C3 unit is financed by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca.
Director: Federico Casalegno
-
IEE − Industrial Energy Efficiency
The IEE Unit aims to develop methods, tools and algorithms for the monitoring and for the modeling and analysis of systems for energy production, co-production, consumption, acquisition and distribution, with particular reference to industrial energy efficiency.
The IEE unit is financed by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca.
Director: Rocco de Nicola
-
PRIAn - Pattern recognition and image analysis
The PRIAn unit aims at applying a wide range of techniques to identify complex patterns in high dimensional data, collaborating closely with experimental groups in various domains, with particular reference to biological and medical images.
Director: Angelo Bifone
