PURPOSE
The overall purpose of the project module is for the student to acquire the ability to analyze and evaluate the application of methods and techniques within database systems and / or machine intelligence to solve a specific problem. This includes analyzes of the formal properties of the techniques and an assessment of these properties in relation to any requirements for the solution to the specific problem.

REASON
Data representation, data analysis, and the ability to draw intelligent conclusions based on users' wishes and needs are central components in many modern IT systems. Within this project module, data representation and analysis covers the use of database management systems to model and store data in relation to data analysis, transform data into the desired format and be able to extract information from it using analytical queries. Intelligent systems are related to machine intelligence, where the term covers, for example, graphic models, data mining / machine learning, and autonomous agents. The following references to database systems and machine intelligence must thus be seen in this context

In this project module, the project work is primarily driven by theoretical and analytical considerations about the methods and techniques used. For a specific problem area, a project could, for example, be based on specific performance requirements for the developed software solution, and the project work can thus be guided by the solution's algorithmic time / space complexity as well as formal analyzes and considerations of its theoretical properties and performance guarantees.
