NDAK11006U Topics in Algorithms and Data Structures
Volume 2014/2015
Content
The purpose of this course is to give an overview of the
state-of-the art research within the area of algorithms and data
structures.
A set of topics will aim to reflect the state-of-the-art research
and applications within the design and analysis of algorithms and
data structures. Particular topics will change from year to year.
Important: See the course home page for information on the topics
covered in a particular year.
Learning Outcome
Knowledge of:
- Selected state-of-the-art algorithms and data structures and techniques and paradigms involved in these.
Skills in:
- Reading state-of-the-art papers related to the topics covered in the course and communicating key ideas in such papers
- Preparing a report on a research paper
- Preparing and giving a seminar talk on a research paper
Comptences to:
- Present technical results to an audience of peers, both orally and in writing
- Recognize the applicability of algorithms and data structures in both theoretical and practical settings
Literature
See Absalon when the course is set up.
Academic qualifications
Should at least have had
at least one prior course in algorithms and data
structures.
Teaching and learning methods
The course has three
components.
1. Lectures and weekly exercises.
2. A project where students write a report on a paper that they will later present [this could be something relevant to later Master's thesis work].
3. Seminars where students present their chosen papers. There will be an opponent group for each presentation, and teachers will also ask questions.
