DIST Department of Communication Computer and System Sciences
DIST was born in 1984 by the impulse of a group of teachers of electronic area with similar scientific interests; they had the same intent of partecipation and cultural opening practised in the previous years under Giuseppe Biorci's guide (he then migrated to National Research Council as a Vicepresident). Nowadays DIST has about fifty members (2/3 teachers and researchers, 1/3 technicians and administratives) and a yearly financial statement of about three thousand million liras (coming from agreements with european agencies of research): it's one of the most important and dynamic reality of University of Genoa. DIST works at Information Engineering frontier: new methodologies are increased using integration between control and transmission systems, in multimedia environments at different levels of interaction with human operator. In order to operate in this direction DIST has a differenced installed base that is constantly being updated (both hardware and software) with adequate local and geographic network, with different operating systems and advanced technological services common to the Department's various operative units. For a long time DIST has been inserted in international research community by several collaborations with remarkable foreign universities and institutions (as M.I.T., Univ. of California, Oxford University, INRIA, etc.) Great professionality and availability of its technician and administrative staff is the base of complex technical management of such collaborations and of Department's financial and technological resources. DIST's Educational sectors are Automatics, Bio-engineering, Computer Science, Operative Research and Telecommunications. In these sectors DIST is involved in international and national research projects, stimulated and financed by European Union (UE), by Ministry of University, Scientific and Technological Research (MURST) and by National Research Council (CNR). Application areas towards which DIST's research is addressed include both information technologies and methodologies, as well as their use in different sectors of production and services, from industrial robotics to cultural and 'free time' activities. DIST has about 80 master thesis a year, 50 courses, didactical laboratories (automatic controls, computer sciences, real time systems, telecommunications) and teledidactic systems; it therefore contributes to Masters of Biomedical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Managerial Engineering and Computer Science Engineering, and of degrees in Electronic Engineering as well as Logistic and Production Engineering. DIST then gives didactic support for computer science and other Masters inside and outside Engineering Faculty (i.e. Educational Sciences); it's also present in other activities of university formation, particularly in Medicine Faculty (qualification courses) and in Master of Environmental Engineering (teaching 'Modelling and Identification').
