All courses in the master program are taught in English, so come and join us for a semester or full year in Antwerp. Master students can enjoy one of three different subdisciplines: 

• Distributed Artificial Intelligence: Distributed machine learning is the discipline where new intelligence is created by combining the strengths of different distributed intelligent devices and/or components. The main idea is to rely on the emergent that originates from the various devices and components working together in an intelligent way. It does not focus on computationally intensive centralized artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, but on intelligent components' decentralised interaction to achieve an equal or better result with lower latencies, lower energy consumption and lower computational complexity. 
• Cyber-Physical Systems: Cyber-physical systems are systems where the sensors, control and computational properties are optimally adapted to the mechanical and functional requirements of the system at hand. In the fast-evolving world of digital innovation the main focus lies on the optimal integration of the individual parts of CPS to achieve certain performance constraints. This program’s core component is solving functional/safety and timing constraints, while considering the physical and mechanical problems of both sensors and actuators, using a model-driven approach. 
• Internet-of-Things: Internet of Things (IoT) is the art of bringing together data from large sets of distributed heterogeneous embedded sensors. The main complexity of this process lies in the resource constraints. Vast quantities of data have to be sensed and communicated in an environment where resources like energy and computational power are limited. This program's core focuses on engineering these high complexity sensor networks, taking into account the constraints, and choosing or designing the right communication, hardware, and software solutions.
