Introduction
Educational objectives
The International Master of Science Degree Course in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity aims to develop a system of education and academic exchange, in a spirit of cooperation at the European level. The Course is offered in an inter-university international collaboration with the Alpen-Adria University of Klagenfurt, where some courses will be held. It allows students to obtain a double degree. The course, with classes offered in English and possibly on-line in both the institutions, prepares students in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity.
As far as Artificial Intelligence is concerned, languages and techniques for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning and their application for the formalization and solutions of problems in constrained spaces will be presented. Temporal reasoning and Automatic Planning will be also introduced and the relationships between computational complexity and language expressivity will be investigated. Students will acquire theoretical foundations and advanced techniques and languages for Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Several application scenarios will be presented, with a particular emphasis on Cybersecurity. Moreover, aspects of Ethics in AI will be studied.
As far as Cybersecurity is concerned, students will learn the theoretical foundations of public and private cryptography, as well as formal methods and languages for (semi) automatic verification of communication protocols. Several techniques related to cyber-attacks will be investigated, such as methods for alerting and preventing attacks, in particular those based on machine learning techniques. Aspects related to privacy and data management will be presented.
The course is organized as follows. In the first-year students will attend the mandatory courses offered by the University of Udine and one mandatory course offered on-line by the Alpen-Adria University of Klagenfurt. Students will choose other optional exams (e.g., in the areas of distributed systems, advanced databases, quantum computing, formal methods, advanced algorithms, recommended systems, information retrieval, virtual and augmented reality, …). In the first semester of the second year, students move to the Alpen-Adria University of Klagenfurt in order to attend some advanced courses in the area of Artificial Intelligence and of Cybersecurity. At the end of the program, the students will start a period of internship (in a factory or in one of the two universities) and prepare a Thesis supervised by professors in both universities.
