Roma Tre University (Rome, Italy) opens to foreign students a competition
for 2 positions in the PhD course in Computer Science and Automation of the
Doctoral School in Engineering with a fellowship of 13.638,47 EUR (gross
amount per year). Extra funding is available for participation in
international conferences, schools, and workshops.
The PhD program aims at preparing first class researchers and future
leaders in Computer Engineering, Automation and Robotics who will either
continue the research career, both in Universities and in research centers,
or will lead industrial research and development projects. A Faculty of
internationally recognized researchers and professors from the Department
of Informatics and Automation (DIA) of Roma Tre University is responsible
for the educational activities and takes part in the organization of the
doctoral program.
The course covers a three-year period. The first year is mainly devoted to
deepening the background of each student with introductory courses covering
the relevant topics in the research areas of the PhD program and advanced
courses illustrating new results and techniques in specific fields. These
courses aim to facilitate students in choosing the PhD research topic. The
second and third years are devoted to research with emphasis on active
participation in the research projects of DIA, attendance to conferences,
schools and seminars, publication of papers in journals and conference
proceedings, and the preparation of the final thesis. Usually, each student
spends a period of six months in an international research center. The
research areas of the PhD program span the whole spectrum of the department
research programs, which are the following:
(1) AUTOMATION AND INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION: this program focus on the
development of models, methods and tools for the efficient utilization of
resources. The theoretical background is in the fields of Operations
Research and Control Theory, and more specifically in discrete
optimization, complexity theory and discrete event systems. The research
activities include the development of algorithms in this context,
agent-oriented decentralized management systems, complexity analysis
production management, production planning, scheduling, capacity planning,
sequence coordination, and sequencing games.
(2) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: the program relates to AI models, methods and
tools and their applications to create extremely flexible, autonomous,
adaptive and reliable systems, well-grounded from a theoretical point of
view. The program''''s research projects particularly focus on the formal base
and theoretical grounds, both regarding the use of exploration and
empirical experimental techniques to analyze, create and assess the
conceived systems.
(3) NETWORK ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION: the general goal of this program is
to develop new methodologies and tools for network analysis and
visualization, with applications to computer network discovery and
management. Given the great research opportunities offered by the new
generation computer networks, the focus of the program progressively
embodied, together with the visualization and analysis problems, pure
computer networks research topics.
(4) DATABASES AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS: the general goal of the database
program is the study of new principles, methods and tools for the
organization and management of information, in the form of databases, that
is, systematic collections of data that are large, persistent, and shared.
The current focus of the program is on the new requirements generated by
the growth of the Internet and WWW, with the possible availability of
different and heterogeneous sources of information. The program includes
various projects in each of which the attention is both on principles and
on experimentation.
(5) COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN: the mission of this program is to pursue
research on geometric modeling and visual simulation of engineering
problems using CAD/PLM technologies. The group has concentrate its efforts
on the following areas: functional programming with design languages,
parallel and distributed processing, geometric and solid modeling,
computer-aided design and computer graphics for scientific visualization,
and geometrical and physical modeling of bio-systems.
(6) ROBOTICS: the robotics program is mainly focused on methodologies and
technologies for sensor based navigation of cooperating autonomous vehicles
in partially structured environments. Research interests include:
processing of sensors data for the purpose of localization, motion
planning, and environmental mapping, modelling and control of mobile robots
with lightweight manipulators, development of distributed control and
estimation techniques, and modelling of complex interconnected systems.
The competition is open to students who:
(i) are not Italian citizens;
(ii) are not residents of Italy;
(iii) have gained (or will gain before 31 August 2008) an university degree
or an equivalent degree of a higher education institution giving him/her
access to doctoral studies without any further qualifications in the
country where it was obtained. The equivalence of the degree with the
Italian "Laurea Specialistica/Magistrale" will be evaluated by the
Supervising Committee of the selected course;
Students who already obtained a doctoral degree are not eligible.
Applications should be sent exclusively by Web, filling the form (including
the upload of the requested documents in pdf format) available on-line at
the address: http://host.uniroma3.it/uffici/ricerca/
The EXPIRATION DATE of the application is: 25 August 2008 (h. 24.00).
The selection of candidates will be carried out by the Supervising
Committee. Candidates will be selected on the basis of:
- (mandatory) university (or equivalent) degree
- (mandatory) abstract of the final thesis
- (mandatory) list of passed examinations
- (mandatory) curriculum vitae et studiorum
- (mandatory) a proposed research project
- (mandatory) at least three reference letters provided and signed by
relevant members of the international scientific community, relating to the
candidate''''s chosen course;
- (if any) ad***ional document and/or publication (including GRE -
Graduate Record Examination - test) that the candidate deems worthy of
consideration, including associations to research institutions (MAX 05
documents).
This selection will produce a pass-list, and suitable candidates will be
contacted with an official notification, that will be sent by e-mail before
30 September 2008. To be admitted to the course the candidates shall
deliver:
- formal documentation of qualifications as outlined in the application form;
- formal declaration of acceptance.
Only on receiving this documents they will be enrolled to the course
(starting 2008, November 01).
Doctorate Fellowships are incompatible with any other one granted by
Italian or International subjects. Doctorate Fellowships cannot be awarded
to candidates who have already (either entirely or partially) benefited
from a similar grant to attend a Ph.D. Course provided by an Italian
University.
