A curriculum of the Laurea Magistrale in Informatica at the University of L’Aquila bringing students to the core of the complexity of networks and data

Why NeDaS?

Complex networks and big data lie at the core of modern computer applications. The Internet is the quintessence of this binomium: a billion node decentralized network involving an extremely massive set of data, basically the entire human knowledge, and beyond – and indeed a critical task is transforming these data into actual information!

Through the study of advanced topics and methodologies in graph and web algorithms, computational intelligence, databases, data analytics, game theory, and more, students enrolling to NeDaS will learn how to handle the challenging interplay between complex networks and big data. The curriculum also includes a comprehensive set of state-of-the-art courses, in order to maintain a concrete connection with the rapidly evolving world of ICT applications in the domain of interest.

Job opportunities after NeDaS

In the era of social networks, cloud computing, and big data, Network and Data scientists are gaining a prominent position in the ICT industry. According to several statistics, their job opportunities are expected to grow much faster than other competing profiles over the next decade. A graduate from the NeDaS curriculum is therefore expected to play a crucial role in the development of innovative applications for large-scale networks and data. Our Department maintains an intense research collaboration with leading companies in the field, where excellent career opportunities are currently open as Network/Database Administrator, Computer Systems and Data Analyst, Web Developer, and Collaborative Computing Specialist.
