12 <p>The Department of Computer Science of Bologna is the
13 only educational institution in Italy to be affiliated
14 to the World Wide Web Consortium (and one of the few
15 members of this category in Europe). This affiliation
16 testifies the interest, both technical and didactic,
17 traditionally devoted by our Department to Web technologies,
18 Internet and, more generally, distributed computing.
19 This is joined to a solid expertise in programming
20 languages, algorithms, theory and formal methods,
21 that provides a very stimulating and dialectical environment
23 The Department is in charge of an undergraduate
24 Program in Computer Science, with more than three hundreds new
25 students a year, and a graduate Ph.D. Program, currently
26 comprising sixteen students.</p>

38 <p>The <em>Hypertextual Electronic Library of Mathematics</em> Project
39 is active in Bologna since 1999. Its aim is the development of a suitable
40 technology for the creation and maintenance of a virtual, distributed,
41 hypertextual library of formal mathematical knowledge. As a subsidiary
42 goal, HELM is meant to integrate the current tools for the automation of
43 formal reasoning and the mechanisation of mathematics (proof assistants
44 and logical frameworks) with the most recent technologies for the
45 development of Web applications and electronic publishing, taking
46 advantage of the potentiality offered by XML Technologies.
47 The Project is developed in tight cooperation with the W3C
48 MathML Working Group, which we are a member of.</p>
