Description: 

The Department of Computer, Control, and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti (Dipartimento di Ingegneria informatica automatica e gestionale - DIAG) is a center for research and education at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Formerly known as Department of Computer and System Sciences (Dipartimento di Informatica e sistemistica- DIS), it was established in 1983. In 2001 it was named after Antonio Ruberti, the eminent scholar who founded it.
Currently, the department is composed by more then 70 faculty members (full, associate and assistant professors), with the addition of about 70 PhD students and a similar number of post-docs. The department is directed by Prof. Tiziana Catarci.
Internationally renowned research groups in computer science, system science, and management science are active at DIAG. Basic research is its main goal, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research, on applications that stimulate basic research, and on technology transfer and dissemination of results. Every year DIAG publishes hundreds of papers in the foremost international journals and conference proceedings, and its members appear in the program and steering committees of the most prestigious scientific events and institutions. Numerous prizes and awards have been assigned to its members for their scientific and educational activities.
Strong collaborations are maintained with researchers in other universities, research institutions and companies, in Italy and abroad. National and European research contracts and grants are routinely acquired by the Department.
On the educational side, the mission of DIAG is to train engineers for professional, research and teaching careers either in universities or in industries and public administration. To this end, education is provided by DIAG within several undergraduate and graduate programs of the School of Engineering at Sapienza University, with main responsibility of the curricula in computer, control and management engineering. As an effort towards internationalization, the department offers two master programs that are entirely taught in English. Moreover, DIAG hosts two PhD programs, and cooperates with PhD programs offered by other departments.
DIAG has a number of laboratories that are devoted to education and research in the various areas of interest for the department. Through its library, it provides access to about 900 online/printed journals and to an outstanding collection of 11000 scientific volumes.
