IIT carries out activities of research, assessment, technological transfer and training in the field of Information and Communications Technologies and in the sector of computational sciences. In perfect harmony with the activities of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union, IIT very naturally and clearly has its sights set on the Internet of the future, both from a modellistic-algorithmic and technological-applicational point of view. The Institute has, in fact, consolidated its know-how in algorithmics and in areas of research and development, such as the “Internet of things” and “Internet of services”. These range from high speed, mobile and pervasive telematic networks, to issues of security and privacy, to innovative Web technologies, but which also include new ICT applications concerning the governance of the Future Internet.
