The role of UNICT
With regard to webinos the University of Catania, with people of the DIEEI research group is involved for a total of 37 PM. The main benefit will be to exploit results providing course materials, know-how and research topics, increasing its skills on middleware's for heterogeneous and distributed systems, for mobile ad-hoc networks and strongly decentralised systems, and on pervasive environments and ubiquitous computing. Such skills will be acquired in industrial and scientific collaborations, as well as in future national and European research projects.
