For other Topics such as RFID, WiMax and others please contact: Prof. M. Bonuccelli, [email protected].

Important : the proposed papers are representative of a research area. The students are expected to look for related works and to present at the seminar both the proposed paper and a few other (1 or 2) related works. To organize a seminar on these topics please refer to Dr. Stefano Chessa ([email protected]) or to Prof. S. Pelagatti ([email protected])
