The development of mobile computing, systems on chip, peer-to-peer systems, computing grids are all challenges to the field of computer systems engineering (Computer Engineering) which is constantly evolving. An automatic pilot system, a hospital management system, a multi-player video game, a digital television service, video on demand, a personal assistant (PDA), a tele-operation robot, are examples of Informatic Systems
The MASTER in SIR further concretizes the objectives of the License in Computer Science and prepares the student for doctoral studies. Thus the Master's SIR (Computer Systems and Networks) is the Master's training which would actively participate in the development of computer systems both in terms of hardware and software. This type of activity has been made possible today thanks to the extraordinary development experienced in the design of VLSI circuits and CAD tools, which today make it possible to start from an algorithm specification to achieve a on an integrated circuit.
The discipline covered by this training is not new in the world of computer training. In the English-speaking area (USA, United Kingdom, India, Arabian Gulf countries) this training is supported in the context of Bachelors and Masters in Computer Engineering.
This training teaches the principles of three very similar fields: IT, telecommunications and electronics. Its objectives are to train specialists who could implement the principles closest to these three fields, to build complex digital systems in which are implemented the techniques of hardware architecture, the various methods and technology of engineering. software, sophisticated algorithms and communication technologies.
A large number of applications involve the concepts of these three fields simultaneously. Examples include embedded systems, video games, computer and telecommunications networks, computer-aided design tools, medical information systems, complex system design on VLSI circuits, robotics, etc. . The SIR Master will provide the theoretical and practical foundations to enable graduates to participate effectively in these very attractive fields.
Thanks to the skills acquired during this training, a graduate could easily integrate professional life or begin doctoral training in the same discipline.
