EIT ICT Labs Master Programme Internet Technology and Architecture (ITA) The ITA master is a new European two-year master programme within the EIT master school ICT Innovation. The aim of the EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) is to breed a new generation of technology-skilled entrepreneurs by enhancing high-profile technology education with a strong business orientation. For the field of ICT, the EIT has created through the KIC ICT Labs (one of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities), several ICT master programmes to combine ICT engineering on an advanced level with a business minor focused on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). The goal is to make students that take part in this education the elite group of forthcoming ICT professionals. The unique features of this advanced level education are: A standardized I&E minor Mobility among universities (one year at one university and the second year at another university) Specialisation at one of the European top universities Personal industrial relationships for the students, including industrial mentors and internships at EIT ICT Labs non-university partners as part of the study plan. Thematic area grounding and utilization of resources from EIT ICT Labs research and business activities There are seven ICT programmes (majors), one of them is Internet Technology and Architecture (ITA) offered by a consortium of UPMC (Paris), TUB (Berlin), KTH (Stockholm), UNITN (Trento), UNS (Nice), and ITA/TB (Brest). The first year consists of one semester of core courses on ITA and one semester on Entrepreneurial education. For the second year, students can select a specialisation and complete a thesis project at one of the industrial partners.

Internet Technology and Architecture The technical major in Internet Technology and Architecture is a focused programme of study involving advanced networking technologies and architectures for the design and management of modern distributed computer systems and networks. This programme is in line with the challenging field of computing communication and networking technologies that has lately received considerable attention and is today considered as a major topic for most curriculum studies in IT. Programme The aim of the Internet Technology and Architecture programme is to develop a coherent set of theoretical knowledge and professional understandings and skills in computer networks. Emphasis is placed on understanding of current research issues as well as detailed practical experience of network design, development, implementation, and management. The first year will be similar at the four entry points UPMC, TUB, KTH, and UNITN with four basic courses on the foundations of networking, network design and modelling, wireless and mobile computing, and advanced next generation networks. In addition, some elective courses may be chosen to prepare for a specialisation. This programme also includes an I&E minor that will provide students with both theoretical concepts and practical tools that will develop critical thinking in assessing entrepreneurship opportunities and devising appropriate strategies to turn ideas into profitable business ventures. The I&E minor consists two courses: The I&E basics course provides an introduction to business and management. The Business Development Lab will extend media systems engineering projects by a market survey, a business model generation process, and a venture development exercise. Students participating in the ITA track will be offered an internship in a partner industry or research centre of the EIT ICT Labs to work on a thesis project. Directly linked to the master thesis, there will be an I&E minor thesis that will specify the requirements, strategy and business plan for the selected thesis project. Specialisations Specialisations will be provided in the second year. The ITA major will offer six specialisations, each at a different location: User-centric networking at UPMC Internet technologies at TUB Communication systems design at KTH Wireless and mobile access networks at UNITN Networked Analysis and Experimentation at UNS Internet of things at IT/TB To meet the requirements for geographic mobility, the chosen exit point needs to differ from the chosen entry point.
User-centric Networking (UPMC) UPMC offers a specialisation in user-centric networking with courses in advanced routing and switching, network security, large networks, QoS and multimedia networks, digital communications, network management and traffic control. The focus will be on offering a complete and consistent vision of networking architectures and technologies both in wired and wireless/mobile environments, at access and core networks. This programme will aim to provide a rigorous theoretical knowledge and understanding of current issues as well as detailed practical experience of advanced networking technologies and architectures. The objective is to respond to the strong industry demand of high level network engineers and specialists. This programme in essence is thought out to make the students aware of the requirements, constraints, and evolutions that the networking industry has to cope with; it naturally trains them to be destined for a high level industrial career, particularly in the field of research and innovation. Dr. Prométhée Spathis is the coordinator of the Internet Technology Architecture major. He is an associate professor at UPMC in the Network and Performance Analysis group.

Internet Technologies (TUB) The Internet is a social phenomenon that has changed, and continues to change how humans communicate, businesses work, how emergencies are handled, the military operates, etc. It has redefined expectations about how interactions between humans, computers and humans, and between computers function. Without question, almost all major industrial sectors take advantage of the Internet. This includes software companies such as Microsoft, Google, and SAP, as well as more traditional manufacturing companies (including the automotive industry), service providers (including banks and insurance companies), as well as the entertainment industry. Therefore we need an in depth understanding of the technology underlying the Internet as well as on developing solutions for improving the current network to address challenges such as mobility, quality of experience, security, and reliability.

Internet of Things (IT/TB) Internet connectivity has been widely deployed in the last decade and is now present not only in every house and office, but also in many personal, mobile communication and entertainment devices. However, with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of Machine-to-Machine communications the number of interconnected devices is expected to explode and to reach many billions by the end of the decade. Such evolution of the Internet opens the way to imagining a large panel of new services, but also raises several technical hurdles that have to be addressed: energy issues both in the terminal side and in the infrastructure; scalability issues for traffic management, QoS management, routing, addressing; heterogeneity of technologies; radio spectrum management (as many of such devices will be wirelessly connected to the network). Furthermore, new business models should be envisioned to foster the development of innovative services. David Ros received his B.Sc. (with honors) and M.Sc. degrees, both in Electronics Engineering, from the Simón Bolívar University, Caracas, Venezuela, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institut National de Sciences Appliquées (INSA), Rennes, France.
