Some additional information:
  • The Department of Computer Science at the University of Pisa. - The University of Pisa was founded in 1343 and it currently counts with around 1600 permanent faculty members and around 1500 administrative employees. The Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa was the first Department of Computer Science that was established in Italy, and then the first to start a university degree and a Ph.D. school in Computer Science in Italy. Currently the Department counts 65 permanent faculty members (full, associate and assistant professors), around 30 research associates, and 55 Ph.D. students. The group that participates in the SeaClouds project (led by prof. Brogi) has a strong expertise in the development of rigorous methodologies for the discovery, adaptation, and composition of software services.
  • Pisa - Pisa is a historical University town (around 90,000 inhabitants and 45,000 university students). Everything is walking distance, many people use to bike since the center of the town is pedestrian area.On the other hand, Pisa is well connected by train to the other Italian cities (50 minutes to Florence). Low cost flights to many European cities are available from Pisa international airport.
