PhD programs are taught exclusively in English. The PhD Program includes
a Track in Computer, Decision and Systems Science with a specific
Curriculum in Computer Science. The track is coordinated by Rocco De
Nicola and aims at preparing researchers and professionals with a wide
knowledge of the theoretical foundations of computer science and
informatics, control systems and optimization, image analysis, and
management science.
The curriculum in Computer Science aims at training a new generation of
researchers in the theoretical and practical aspects of modern computing
systems, including global, cloud, autonomic and service-oriented
systems. The focus is on the development of models, algorithms,
verification methods and software tools that can tackle the challenges
of today e-society efficiently and effectively. The main aim is that of
characterizing and guaranteeing essential features and desirable
properties of these systems such as reliability, open-endedness,
autonomicity, security, concurrency, scalability, cost-effectiveness,
quality of service, and dependability.
PhD students within the Computer Science curriculum will work in close
collaboration with the SysMA research unit of IMT
(http://sysma.lab.imtlucca.it/) or within research groups active in two
institutes of the Italian National Research Council in Pisa, namely the
Istituto di Informatica e Telematica (http://www.iit.cnr.it/en) and the
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione
(http://www.isti.cnr.it/). More details about possible PhD projects and
topics can be found under http://sysma.lab.imtlucca.it/phd/
PhD students, besides receiving the standard research scholarship of
€13,600/year (amount established by Italian law), are offered on-campus
housing on a brand-new and fully integrated campus in the historical
center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca, and daily access to the
