Politecnico di Milano

Politecnico di Milano is the largest Italian Technical University, with over 38.000 students in all areas of engineering, and over 1500 faculty members. It has a long tradition of research and teaching in all the domains of technology. The Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione (DEI) is the largest Department of the university, providing research and education at all levels in the whole IT area. DEI has 180 faculty members and slightly short of 200 PhD students and postdoc researchers. DEI has been (and is) actively involved in a large number of European projects. The Performance Evaluation Laboratory (VPLab) leads the research in the dependability, security and performance areas. VPLab has been involved in several industrial, national and European research projects. In recent years much of the research of VPLab has focused on intrusion detection, in particular anomaly detection, at both the host and the network level. The current research activities in the area of information security are focused on computer virology and automated forensic analysis.

Institut Eurecom

Institut Eurecom is a non-profit research and teaching institute. It was founded in 1992 by EPFL and Telecom Paris. It specializes in communications and network engineering. Eurecom's academic and research activities are organized in three departments: Mobile Communications, Multimedia Communications and Corporate Communications. The Corporate Communications department is made up of six professors and assistant professors, two research engineers, a dozen junior researchers and a number of master students. The security of mobile devices as well as the monitoring and modeling of Internet threats are among its main areas of research.
