It benefits from the international collaborations and rich networking of the researchers participating in the Master. It leverages the [Arqus European University Alliance](https://www.arqus-alliance.eu/) by targeting research universities abroad as well as Erasmus+ agreements between the Computer Science Department at Lyon 1 University and other European research universities. **Context.** Smart systems are data-driven and intelligent systems that are capable of executing complex tasks of processing and control during which massive data is collected, processed and analyzed for both analysis and prediction. Data is inherently heterogeneous, including structured/unstructured data, processes and images. This data needs to be prepared, processed and modeled in order to feed analytical and inference methods for smart systems. The inherent tasks of these systems involve several computational challenges, such as the storage and processing of streaming, sensor and IoT data, symbolic and statistical learning on top of these data and its processes, as well as the modeling and deployment of services and processes leveraging these data. The training programme of the Master DISS revolves around the smart integration and processing of the data (including all kinds of data, from structured to graph-based data and images, ranging from static to evolving data) as well as the inference and Artificial Intelligence processes on top of these data for enabling analysis, prediction and forecast. Data-driven and intelligent systems represent the pillars of Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation with many concrete applications in various domains such as healthcare, education, energy efficiency, transportation and climate change. The master DISS has two main objectives: * Prepare the students to a PhD thesis and later to research jobs in both academia and industry; * Train the students to research work and methodology, while increasing their knowledge in cross-disciplinary fields in Computer Science (i.e. Data Management, Graphics and Visual Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Service-oriented Computing) Notice that starting from year 2022 only students having completed the first year of Master (M1) in Computer Science can be admitted in the Master cursus (covering the second year of Master). The master offers a well-balanced syllabus, consisting of the following competences and skills: * Detailed knowledge of the components of Big Data processing systems spanning heterogeneous data. * Study of the Machine Learning techniques and applications, by focusing on unsupervised and supervised learning. * Study of service science and business processes, focusing on cognitive and AI-driven services and applications to blockchain. * Study of image understanding and geometric feature extraction, pattern recognition problems and denoising techniques. * Capability to formulate a research question, build the related work relative to a research problem and design a solution for the research problem at hand. * ******************************PAGE****************************** ### Syllabus The master includes four mandatory modules (each of 6ECTS) as follows: #### **M2 DISS Data and Intelligence for Smart Systems :** ##### **Bloc 1, 24 ects :** * Data Processing and Analytics, 6 ects In many sectors of the society, spanning from business to finance, from e-commerce to telecommunication, from scientific research to advanced engineering, successful systems must leverage the availability of large volumes of data through the ability to efficiently perform complex analytics in order to extract significant information. In this course, the students will learn the data processing techniques including analytical and transactional processing for both structured and unstructured data. Data processing and analytics techniques apply to a wide range of data-oriented paradigms in the Big Data landscape. Techniques include query processing and data preparation techniques and algorithms allowing to handle complex massive datasets as input to subsequent data intelligence tasks. During the course, the students will be the opportunity to use and experiment with existing data processing systems and to get familiar with the latest research advances on this topic. * Fundamentals of Image Processing and Interpretation, 6 ects This course introduces high-level problems that require image understanding and geometric feature extraction. Students will learn about the problems of extracting depth information from a monocular or binocular system, image denoising and restoration techniques, inpainting and pattern recognition problems. Different mathematical models will be useful for this task, based on the spatial or temporal domain as well as on the statistical analysis of data. Part of the course will be devoted to the use of existing libraries and to reading of research papers. * Machine Learning Techniques and Applications, 6 ects This course prepares students to understand fundamentals of Machine Learning and existing techniques and their applications. It considers different approaches and techniques (regression models, clustering methods, supervised/unsupervised learning, clustering, neural networks/deep learning, reinforcement learning). * Smart Service Science, 6 ects This module focuses on Service Science as follows: 1) Service Science Definition and Theories 2) Service Innovation and Smart Services (Cloud Services (XaaS, BaaS, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), Blockchain as a Service, Cognitive Services, Uncertain Services, Machine Learning as a Service), 3) Use cases as appropriate. ##### **Bloc 1, (choice of 2 modules) 6 ects :** * Big Graph Processing Systems, 3 ects This module will focus on: advanced graph processing; analytical systems and their languages leading to optimized and cost-based query execution.
