IN4260MCT ¨C Networked Systems and Creative Computing

Course content

In this course, the student will explore and report on a topic in networked systems or creative computing in cooperation with a supervisor. The project will usually have a practical component where the student will program and evaluate an experiment or an application.

The course is suitable for students who desire a deeper understanding of a part of the subject area and who aspire to a research and development career in the field. The project is carried out in the supervisor's research group.

Learning outcome

After taking the course you will:

• have a very good understanding of a topic in networked systems or creative computing
• have some knowledge of how experiments are performed
• have some knowledge of how research and development is carried out
• be able to perform a project that includes the development of application to perform experiments
• have experience in writing scientific documentation

Admission to the course

Students admitted at UiO must each semester?apply for courses?in Studentweb.

Teaching

The course is organized with three joint sessions of two hours for everyone who takes the course:

• Introduction of project work, supervisors, scope and expectations.
• Joint mid-term presentation and assessment of each other's project work.
• Final presentation with feedback and submission of final report.

Some topics have additional mandatory meeting times. These will be described in conjunction with the proposed project.

Guidance based on agreement made with the research group. The course requires a large degree of independent work. The students present their work and read/criticize each other's work along the way.

Between the first and last joint meeting, students will be able to expect eight hours of individual guidance (set up as regular meetings with the supervisor every other week).

Examination

The written assignment counts for 70% of the final grade, while the oral presentation counts for 30%.
