Software Engineering Seminar | INFK | AS 19


Course catalog: 252-2600-05L
Lecturers: Malte Schwerhoff, Petar Tsankov


The course is an introduction to research in software engineering, based on reading and presenting high quality research papers in the field. The instructor may choose a variety of topics or one topic that is explored through several papers.

The main goals of this seminar are 1) learning how to read and understand a recent research paper in computer science; and 2) learning how to present a technical topic in computer science to an audience of peers.
