    Summer School on Hot Topics in Cybersecurity
    Department of Computer, Control, and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti (DIAG)
    Sapienza University of Rome
    July 1st - 5th 2019, Rome, Italy

    Cybersecurity is the field of Information Security dealing with the analysis, design and development of tools and technologies with the final objective to protect IT systems from attacks. Such attacks typically aim to create damage to strategic business assets by compromising data and system confidentiality, integrity and availability.

    Thus, it is fundamental to look to Cybersecurity from different and multi-disciplinary point of views i.e., by considering legal, human, technical, and organizational elements in the analysis of the system vulnerabilities , threats and associated risks.

    The Summer School on Hot Topics in Cybersecurity is organized from the Italian department of excellence Department of Computer, Control, and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti (DIAG) of Sapienza University of Rome. The school aims at bringing together members from the international security research community to debate contemporary issues from a multi-disciplinary point of view. It consists of lectures given by world-leading researchers in this area, working group sessions, and Student forums where participants may share their point of view and discuss their research directions.

    Focus

    The school is open to Ph.D. and master students, researchers, and practitioners from academia and industry. The school aims at bringing together members from the international security research community to debate contemporary issues about Cybersecurity topics like:

    • Cloud Security
    • Blockchain
    • Machine Learning & Security
    • Threat and risk modelling

    Attendance is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited to facilities restrictions.
    Check the Application page to find out how to apply.

  • ESSM PhD School @Modena - September 15-17, 2025

    The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia is proud to announce its upcoming IWES PhD School on Embedded Systems, taking place Monday, September 15 to Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at the University of Modena campus in Modena, Italy.

    This intensive three-day program offers students, researchers, and professionals a unique opportunity to dive deep into the design, implementation, and management of cutting-edge CPS, complex systems where physical devices and cyber components seamlessly interact.


    Program Highlights

    Lectures will be delivered by leading experts from top Italian universities, combining theoretical insights with hands-on sessions. Attendees will receive course materials and software resources to enhance learning.

    Edge-to-Cloud continuum: a viable technology infrastructure

    Teacher: Tullio Vardanega, University of Padua

    This course explores technology solutions that support the runtime infrastructure concept called "Edge-to-Cloud continuum," where reliable and secure distributed applications can execute on dynamic, opportunistic, ephemeral federations of compute nodes aggregated according to latency, privacy, reliability, and resource availability needs. The course includes a hands-on part with open software resources provided by the instructor.

    Handling real-time communications with Time-Sensitive Networking for automotive and industrial applications

    Teacher: Gaetano Patti, University of Catania

    The course provides an overview of recent advances in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards in industrial and automotive contexts. It covers innovative solutions for managing diverse real-time flows with different timing constraints and arrival patterns.

    Confidential Computing (in the cloud)

    Teacher: Giovanni Mazzeo, University of Parthenope

    This course offers an overview of business models and enabling technologies in cloud computing. It focuses on confidentiality issues in the cloud, emphasizing protection against attacks by highly privileged software (e.g., Operating System, Hypervisor) and users (e.g., System Administrator, Cloud Provider). Theoretical topics are enriched with application domain examples.

    Modeling, monitoring and enforcement of application behavior for embedded systems

    Teacher: Andrea Saracino, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna Pisa, TeCIP

    This course introduces formal methodologies for representing applications, daemons, and firmware behaviors to prevent unwanted and malicious actions. Approaches presented include Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) and Contract Based Security.

    Feel free to Reject: The Enabling Condition for Trustworthy Decision-Making Systems

    Teacher: Tommaso Zoppi, University of Florence

    This course argues that trustworthy decision-making systems require collaboration among multiple independent decisors, self-awareness, reliable system design with mitigation strategies, and full input-output traceability rather than focusing solely on new ML algorithms or controllers.

    Wireless technologies for real-time Industrial IoT applications

    Teacher: Luca Leonardi, University of Catania

    The course explores wireless technologies like LoRa and BLE in industrial contexts, presenting research challenges and cutting-edge solutions. It covers medium access schemes that support real-time traffic flows and their performance.

    Introduction to Multicore and Heterogeneous Real-Time Scheduling

    Teacher: Daniel Casini, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna

    This course covers basic concepts of scheduling modern real-time workloads on multicore and heterogeneous platforms. Topics include predictability issues with shared hardware resources and modeling offloading operations to hardware accelerators using self-suspending tasks.

    Real-Time Performance of real-time applications developed using ROS 2

    Teacher: Daniel Casini, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna

    The course reviews how ROS 2 callbacks are scheduled by executor threads and the impact on robotics application performance. It discusses how underlying middleware like DDS or Zenoh can affect timing in publish-subscribe message-driven applications.
