Education facts

Code: 5DV184

The purpose of the course is to practice scientific writing, scientific conduct and support quality of research. The course is organized to mimic a scientific conference. The student should formulate and through research answer a new and non-trivial research question in the field of computing science. The student then writes a paper under the teacher's supervision and with the aid of peer reviewing. The final version of the paper is submitted via a conference system and reviewed by anonymous reviewers. All accepted papers are published in a technical report by the Department of Computing Science and presented by the author at an internal conference.
