Topics in computer and information science

There are no prerequisites.

The course is intented for established visiting researchers and lecturers and for experts in computer and information science which will introduce students to topics that are interesting due to recent theoretical findings and mehodological breakthroughs or for their applicative value, and are as such not included into the existing curriculum.
The specific contents of the course is determined yearly.

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

The goal of the course is to introduce basic theoretical ideas as well as practical implementations of new methods and technologies in the field of computer and information science

After the completion of the course a student will:

-obtain a broader overview and understanding of the field of study, and of up to date methods and
concepts,

-apply current approaches and techniques from the specific field of computer and information science,
-understand the advantages of the chosen approaches in computer and information science in
solving specific practical tasks,

-solve complex problems, design complex systems.
