Computer and Data Science at Ca' Foscari

Computer Science at UCF has a relatively long tradition. Since more than 25
years we offer a complete cycle of study in Computer Science, including
Bachelor, Master, and PhD (1st, 2nd, and 3rd level, according to the
Bologna framework), where the instruction language of the Master/PhD
programs is English. Our group of researchers and instructors also includes
statisticians, along with we designed specializations in "Data Science"
within our degrees.

Our faculty is also involved in offering novel educational programs.
Besides the new professional master in "Digital Humanities", we are
planning an innovative Bachelor course in "Digital Management", which
offers students the possibility of acquiring advanced skills on ICT,
Management and Economics, in strict collaboration with companies and
startuppers.

The main research activities on "Computer and Data Science" at DAIS are
organized around two centers: "Center for AdvanCes in Autonomous,
DIstributed and pervAsive systems" (ACADIA)  and "Center for Knowledge,
Interaction and Intelligent Systems" (KIIS).  The ACADIA center aims at
contributing effective answers to the scientific and technological issues
underlying several challenges related to the development of software and
systems, including distributed and cloud ones, with characteristics of
dependability, security, and correctness. The KIIS center emphasizes the
research challenges concerning three main dimensions, namely data and
knowledge management, multimodal interactive interfaces, and intelligent
artificial and computer vision systems that mimic human cognitive abilities.
