Aim
The course aim to give the student a deeper insight in current hot topics within computer engineering.
Course objectives
After completion of the course the student is expected to be able to:
- Solve problems in the studied area of research including system design issues, networking and advanced programming techniques.
- Identify and evaluate critical issues and existing technological limitations in the state-of-the-art in computer engineering.
- Identify the most relevant papers in the professional literature and review them.
- Analyze the performances of studied solutions using numerical analysis and formal proofs.
- Grasp the impact of different solutions can have to an application or a system.
- Critically analyze the problems and find new solutions for modern networks and computer systems.
Content
This course examines current state of art, research-related topics in the fields of data communication, computer networks, wireless networks, computer security, distributed systems, real-time systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, etc. The content in the course can change from year to year, depending on what topics are hot within computer engineering. Covering a broad range of topics and based on mainly scientific articles, it is intended for students planning to carry out a thesis project in computer engineering or anyone interested in the contemporary research problems in this field.
