Diese Lehrveranstaltung ist Teil des Moduls MA-INF 4201 im Masterstudiengang und wird daher daher in Englisch gehalten.
This lecture is part of the module MA-INF 4201 of the intelligent systems track of the master programme "Computer Science".
It is open for CS diploma students [B4].
The exercises are designed to intensify the work with the research topics presented within the lecture.
Paper-and-pencil exercises in two person groups; presentation and discussion of the results of
the weekly homework during the exercises;
small tasks to be completed using state of the art simulation tools and programms implemented individually.
Successful exercise participation (not graded) is a prerequisite for participating at the oral exam (graded)
for this module.
