The consortium of Italian Computer Science PhD granting institutions organizes an annual school offering four graduate-level courses aimed at first-year PhD students. In addition to introducing students to timely research topics, the school is meant to promote acquaintance and collaboration among young European researchers. The 2007 edition of the School is the 13th in the series and is supported by a generous contribution from BiCi (Bertinoro international Center for informatics).
The school will offer 4 courses each consisting of 15 hours of lectures:
  • Probabilistic Methods in Computer Science, Prof. Eli Upfal, Brown University (USA)
  • Methods for Image Reconstructions with Applications in Medicine and Astronomy, Prof. Michele Piana, University of Verona (Italy)
  • Probabilistic Model Checking, Prof. Marta Kwiatkowska, University of Birmingham (UK)
  • Foundations of XML Data Manipulation, Prof. Giorgio Ghelli, University of Pisa (Italy)
A final evaluation for each course is possible through a final exam or project as determined by the instructor. The daily schedule admits laboratory, recitation or working group activities to be organized in addition to the lectures. The registration fee for the School is 750,00 Euro and includes all local expenses from the evening of 4 March to 16 March afternoon including all meals and on-site lodging in double-occupancy rooms. Attendance is limited to 50 students and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. All applicants must register by 23 February 2007.
