The module si composed by several Seminars on experiences and case- and use-studies of Big Data analytics and Social Mining from the SoBigData.eu labs and from the companies and institutions that are partners in the Master.
The module aims to introduce ethical and legal notions of privacy, anonymity, transparency and discrimination, also referring the Directives and Regulations of the European Union and their ongoing evolution. Tho module will show Privacy-by-Design models and technologies that are useful to protect the users' rights and that allow the analysis of Big Data without harming the right to the protection of personal data, to transparency and to a fair treatment.
The objective of the module is to align the competences of the students in computer science and base, in particular about databases, structured data analysis and programming languages.
