NDAK11006U Cancelled Topics in Algorithms and Data Structures (TADS)
The purpose of this course is to present a set of topics that reflect 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.
Ask the course-responsible teacher for information on the topics covered in a particular year.
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.
Competences to
- Present technical results to an audience of peers, both orally and in writing.
- Recognise the applicability of algorithms and data structures in both theoretical and practical settings.
See Absalon for a list of course literature.
