Contents

Contents of the newer research from the area of system development are treated. The special technical orientation of the module is determined by the lecturer.


Qualification Goals

The aim of the module is the communication of new research results from current scientific contributions in national and international journals as well as from conferences in the field of theoretical computer science. In addition, scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training abstraction) are practiced and oral communication skills are trained in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.


Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
