Think about the interconnected data management systems of a global institution: a bank, an airline, or a national government. Think about the large clusters of computers used by scientists to map the human genome. Think about a large scale, networked multiplayer game. Think of a telecommunication network such as the GSM network or the Internet.
These are all distributed systems and, like them, many others are being developed and used pervasively in our modern society. Needless to say, computers and networks play a central role within these systems. They process, store, and transmit information to support a wide variety of tasks, ranging from the safety-critical operations of a transportation system, to the business-critical functions of a bank, to the performance-critical computations of the scientific models studied by physicists or molecular biologists.
The Master of Science in Dependable Distributed Systems develops professionals capable of designing and developing distributed systems. In particular, the emphasis of the design taught is on dependability, which means that systems are engineered to withstand failures of system components, and to gracefully sustain heavy computations and / or intense communication traffic.
The knowledge and technical expertise acquired in this Master is an ideal basis for a career as a system engineer, with employment opportunities in virtually any company whose business depends on computing systems. Moreover, the analytical skills that characterize this Master make up a versatile professional profile, as they are more generally applicable to a range of diverse problem-solving tasks.
