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. The students should practice scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training abstract ability) and oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and in discussion.


Prerequisites

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, either Algorithms and Data Structures or Practical Informatics II: Data Structures and Algorithms for Pre-Service-Teachers, System Software and Computer Communication.


Applicability

Module imported from M.Sc. Computer Science.

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

  • B.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Mathematics

When studying B.Sc. Computer Science, this module can be attended in the study area Compulsory Elective Modules in Computer Science.
