Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Purpose:
The student should gain further insight into how using computer science models can help identifying and solving a problem with computer science research and application.

Reason:
A graduate in computer science should be able to apply theory and model building to identify and to contribute to solutions of a computer science problem and in this context to reflect on the theories and building of models.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• explain the concepts, findings and theories in an advanced area of ​​computer science

Skills

• apply knowledge from a theory in computer science to select and argue for a model within an advanced computer science field
• from such modeling provide a model of a computer science problem and apply this model to understand the problem

Competences

• identify a problem in research or application of computer science
• contribute to solving the problem using their own modeling based on theories
• analyze and evaluate the resulting contribution to the solution
• analyze and evaluate application of relevant models to solve the problem

Type of instruction

• an analysis and description of a computer science problem
• establishment of an advanced computer science model that contributes to solving the problem

The project may include complete or partial implementation of a solution in the form of running software.

Extent and expected workload

It is expected that the student uses 30 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 450 hours

Exam
