Course objectives:
|
The course will improve master-level students' understanding of fundamental findings as well as of recent results of computing research and development in a given area (e.g. related to the master thesis topic) based on the study of published research results, and teach them the methods and tools of a systematic (scientific and engineering) approach to complex problem solving. The seminar will help students perform independent systematic analysis of the state of the art and important trends in a given area, providing skills relevant for their future professional or academic career.
|
Requirements on student
|
The student performs a research of the state of the art in a given area of computing and/or a comparison of known approaches to a given problem, using self-study of sources (monographs, technical and research journals, conference papers, etc.) from appropriate databases of research publications and libraries. The outcome is a research report in a standard form, which must include the list of references. Key findings are presented and discussed during the seminar. The course is run in English.
The topic of each student's research must be first approved by the course leader.
Active participation in the seminars, handing in the report (incl. research of primary sources) of appropriate quality level, and the final presentation are required to pass the course.
The dates of seminars will be arranged during the first week of semester.
|
Content
|
The seminar has the form of introductory presentations and discussions on the topics of research work, combined with individual research of students and discussion of their results based on final presentations.
The concrete schedule is arranged by the course leader at the start of the semester.
