Topical research themes II

There are no prerequisites.

The course is lectured by (younger) professors who present novelties from theoretically oriented research work. Currently uncovered topics interesting due to recent theoretical findings or methodological breakthroughs are presented. The lecturer and specific contents of the course are determined annually according to the propositions, programme needs, and latest research trends.

Dodatna literatura se predpiše vsako leto posebej glede na vsebino in predloge izbranega predavatelja.
Additional literature is given annually, with respect to the current topic of the course.

The goal of the course is a transfer of recent research results into the curriculum. Students will be introduced to novel theoretical ideas as well as their possible impact for development of new methods and technologies in the field of computer and information science.

After completing this course a student will:

• Be familiar with the field of study from the practical point of view, and recent new methods and concepts.

• Know current practically oriented approaches and techniques from the specific field of computer and
  information science in.

• Understand the advantages of the chosen approaches in computer and information science in solving specific practical tasks.

• Know how to solve complex problems, and design complex systems.

Lectures, lab work.
