  • 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

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

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Theoretical Computer Science, Logic.
