Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to describe the principal notions about data bases, focusing on design methodologies and query languages. More specifically, the course aims to introduce problems about data conservation and management, as a precious and central resource of any human activity. Thanks to formal methods and a problem solving perspective, the student will acquire the basic skills to deal with data management in specific work or research situations, as well as the basics for data design through ad hoc softwares.
