Use of millimetre and optical wavelengths for next generation aerospace communication systems
Prof. Carlo Capsoni - Politecnico di Milano
High Throughput satellite communication Systems (HTS) providing multimedia service as well as space science missions can greatly benefit from the use of very high frequency carriers (in the millimetreor even infrared bands), in order to take advantageof the larger bandwidths made available. Aeronautical applications aimed at providing to the future air traveller global access to high-speed Internet continuously throughout his travels also share the interest in these bands. The drawback of using very short wavelengths is the definite impact of the impairments caused by the troposphere. This contribution will review advantages and disadvantages of these future systems and the strategies required to move towards the operative phase.

Pervasive computing and its realization, known as the "Internet of Things," entails an ever-expanding collection of connected devices that capture and share data.
The notion of pervasive computing entails a vision of the world in which computing isn't limited to tablets, smartphones, and laptops. The realization of this vision, called the "Internet of Things" (IoT), is the ever-expanding collection of connected devices that capture and share data. Any object, outfitted with the right sensors, can observe and interact with its environment (1).

Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Aula Magna
L'Unione Europea dichiara Ottobre il Mese Europeo della Sicurezza Informatica, con un insieme di iniziative in tutti gli stati membri finalizzate a promuovere tra i cittadini la conoscenza delle minacce informatiche e dei metodi per contrastarle, per cambiare la loro percezione di cyber minacce e fornire informazioni aggiornate in materia di protezione cibernetica e sicurezza informatica.
In questo evento discuteremo assieme gli attacchi informatici emergenti in Europa, con particolare riguardo all'Italia. Verranno inoltre fornite semplici linee guida che ciascuno di noi può mettere in pratica per proteggere le nostre informazioni, la nostra reputazione online e i nostri soldi.
