Telecommunications – IINF-03/A
The Scientific Disciplinary Sector IINF-03/A (Telecommunications) carries out scientific and educational activities on the theoretical foundations and information and communication technologies that characterize the "information society," contributing significantly to innovation in sectors such as work, production, personal and social communications, media, transportation, security, health, and the environment. A specific feature of the sector is that it combines basic telecommunications methodologies with the design of complex, constantly evolving interconnected systems (such as smart cities, Industry 4.0, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and homeland security) in order to identify innovative engineering solutions that meet the constraints of reliability, quality of service, resource optimization, and sustainability. This distinctive feature allows us to meet the needs of the relevant industrial sectors and to provide an essential methodological contribution in interdisciplinary fields such as aerospace, bioengineering, defense, and healthcare.
