COURSE: Graph Theory and Applications |
|
|
18 May – 11 June 2020 Combinatorial optimization and graph theory have experienced a fast development over the last few decades. It is well known that a lot of problems in combinatorial optimization arose directly from everyday practice in engineering and management. Indeed all the topics considered in this course are motivated by pratical interpretations. The goal is to focus on some problems of combinatorial optimization which can be formulated and treated by graph theoretical methods. After an introduction into graph theory, we study some selected topics both from a theoretical and an algorithmic point of view. |

DRII Final Exam – XXXII Cycle |
|
|
Each PhD student of cycles XXXII of DRII will give a presentation about the research activity that she/he carried out for her/his PhD thesis. The presentations will be broadcasted via streaming for people who want to attend, including families and friends, on: MONDAY, MARCH 30, h.10.00 |
Summer School of Information Engineering, SSIE 2020 |
|
|
SSIE will be held from the 13th to the 17th of July, 2020, in the beautiful town of Brixen (Bressanone) in the Italian alps. The school is co-organized by the IEEE Italy Section (with the technical sponsorship of several chapters) and by the Dept. of Information Engineering of UNIPD. This year the school will be focused on machine learning techniques, energy-efficient electronics and ICT applications, touching upon theoretical developments, bioengineering/biomedical applications, energy-efficient electronics and energy harvesting, engineering of movement, sensing and telecommunications systems and cyber-security, among others. |

COURSE: Vehicular Networks and Cooperative Driving |
|
|
SCHEDULE TO BE DEFINED Mass media call them Autonomous Cars, meaning that they do not need a human driver; however, vehicles in traffic are never autonomous, they need to interact and cooperate with all the other vehicles and road users to drive you to destination and avoid crashes and accidents. The easiest way to cooperate is to communicate, so networking and communications are essential for the success of this extremely promising technology, that has been recently hampered by the first fatalities … all of them due to the lack of simple communication technology that would have prevented the tragic misjudgment of the situation by the driving algorithm. |
|
COURSE: Stochastic Processes and Performance Modeling |
|
|
SCHEDULE TO BE DEFINED If Math is the language of science, Stochastic Math is the language of Advanced Modeling and Performance Evaluation, from Event Driven Simulation (in the very end nothing else than a Monte Carlo solution of a Semi-Markov Chain), to the analysis of Digital Communications and Computer Science, to Hidden Markov Chains that are one of the key ingredients of Computational Biology and of many applications of computational methods applied to Health Care, as well as one of the tools available in the Machine Learning zoo. |

Each PhD student of cycle XXXII of DRII will give a short presentation about the research activity that she/he carried out for her/his PhD thesis. Detailed schedule: here. |
COURSE: Mobile Interaction Design |
|
|
21-23 January 2020 The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to principles and practical guidelines for mobile applications’ interaction design. Previous basic knowledge of interaction design, usability or mobile programming are desirable but not mandatory; the content of the course is in fact accessible to any graduated student in Engineering. The attendance of the course is suggested for those who plan to design and develop an interactive application to be used on mobile devices. |
|
COURSE: An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning |
|
|
03-12 December 2019 Nowadays, research on reinforcement learning (RL) has demonstrated promising results in manifold domains, while major breakthroughs have been obtained in gaming applications (e.g., atari, GO, poker). In this short course, we will introduce the basic principles and algorithms for solving Markov Decision Processes and simple RL problems. We will further investigate how these algorithms have been extended, modified and applied at the state- of-the-art to solve challenging problems in the gaming/simulation domains, pointing at the open challenges in the research field. Finally, we will analyze the applicability of these algorithms with or without modifications in robotics. |
