- More emphasis on design aspects will be provided to students who will specialized for Aalto - Helsinki and UNITN - Trento exit points, with courses on Participatory Design, Agent-oriented software engineering, etc.
- More emphasis on engineering and computation aspects for ELTE \– Budapest, TU/Eindhoven and UPM - Madrid exit points, with courses on Machine Learning, Big Data Analysis, etc.
- All courses of the entrepreneurial minor.
- Software and Services for Social systems (UNITN - Trento)UNITN offers a specialisations in Software and Services for Social systems. Social computing and social systems (such as Social Networks and Recommendation systems) are application domains concerned with the intersection of social behaviour and computational systems. The specialisation offers courses on the design, development, technical testing and verification of services for social information systems,
- Software and Services for Smart Spaces (Aalto - Helsinki)Aalto offers a specialisation in Software and Services for Smart Spaces, i.e. everyday working and living environments that are enriched with digital solutions. In Helsinki, the technical focus is on indoor positioning, way-finding and analytics, user interaction, and service design for smart spaces.
- Scalable Systems (ELTE \– Budapest)ELTE offers a specialisation in Scalable Systems. Scalability is a necessary condition for growth in every software system. Starting from an innovative idea, a small business may rapidly evolve into a world-wide service. Making this evolution smooth and cheap is a key issue in system design.
- Business Process and Information Management (TU Eindhoven)TU Eindhoven offers a specialisation in Business Process and Information Management focused on the crucial link between, on the one hand, the realisation of the technical infrastructure supporting operational processes, and, on the other hand, the entrepreneurial and business aspects of a service-oriented organisation. The specialisation leads to engineers who understand the mathematical foundations of processes and have the skills to apply their knowledge in high-quality, service IT landscapes within real organisations.
- Software and Services in the Cloud (UPM - Madrid)UPM - Madrid offers a specialisation in Software and Services in the Cloud. The specialisation offers courses on the design, development, and deployment of applications in the cloud, including security, and platform configuration aspects. Streaming and big data are two relevant target application domains.
