Contents
Knowledge, methods and techniques from sub-areas of computer science are applied to a concrete problem. Procedure:
- Familiarisation with and study of the literature relevant to the project
- Project definition, planning and presentation of the project and its parts in the form of seminar presentations after the induction phase.
- Structuring of the project into partial problems, scheduling of the processing of partial problems and the integration of partial solutions, definition of subgroups for the processing of partial tasks, definition of interfaces, etc.
- Documentation and operating instructions for software systems
- Monitoring the progress of the work and adherence to the schedule.
- Preparation of a final report containing a systematic description of the problem dealt with and the solution adopted, a description of the factual and temporal structuring of the problem handling and the compilation and discussion of the results obtained.
- Presentation of the completed project in a public lecture
Qualification Goals
- Working on an extensive task from computer science in a team of several students; development, adaptation, extension and development of methods relevant for problem solving; instruction of participants to learn, plan and work on their own responsibility,
