Contents

  • Examples of state-based systems
  • Streams, automata (Moore, Mealy, deterministic, non-deterministic), transition systems, objects, probabilistic systems, neighborhood systems
  • Description of state-based systems as co-algebras
  • Category theoretical abstractions
  • structure theory
  • bisimulations and behavioural equivalence
  • co-recursive definitions, co-inductive verification
  • terminal and co-free systems.
  • modal logics
  • completeness theorem

Qualification Goals

  • development of a basic mathematical theory for the description of state-based systems,
  • understanding category-theoretical methods and conceptual formations and applications in computer science,
  • scientific skills (recognition, formulation, problem solving, abstraction),
  • training of oral communication skills in the labs by practicing free speech and discussion in front of an audience.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Modulen Theoretische Informatik und Logik vermittelt werden.


Applicability

Module imported from M.Sc. Computer Science.

It can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
