PURPOSE
That students work on creating advanced computer science models of a problem themselves and use these models to develop innovative solutions balanced in relation to the reliability of the solution.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • be able to explain concepts, results and theory within an advanced field of computer science
  • have knowledge of empirical and mathematical-based methods for securing and assessing the reliability of a system

Skills

  • apply knowledge from a theory within computer science to select and argue for a model developped within an advanced computer science field
     
  • from such a model development be able to form a computer science problem and use that model to understand the problem
     
  • argue for appropriate choice of method (empirical or mathematical-based) to assess the reliability of the solution developed for the problem

Competences

  • identify a problem within a research or application field of computer science
     
  • contribute to solving the problem using own model formation based on computer science theories
     
  • analyze and evaluate the contribution made to a solution
     
  • analyze and evaluate applications of relevant computer science models to solve this problem
     
  • assess the reliability of the developed solution from either an empirical, statistical or mathematically oriented method

Type of instruction

The project work is supported by digital resources on empirical / qualitative and mathematical methods for assessing the reliability of a solution.

Extent and expected workload

The student is expected to spend 30 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 450 hours.

Exam
