Courses

Bachelor

All programming courses in the bachelor curriculum lay a basis for programming systems of systems. Some courses have strong ties with this research theme.

• NWI-IBC041: New Devices Lab This course introduces the students to programming new devices varying from home automation, internet of things applications to virtual reality.
• NWI-IBC042: Parallel Computing This course introduces the students to the paradigm of parallel computing. The course covers shared-memory parallelization as well as parallelization with message passing on distributed-memory architectures.

If you liked these courses, there is a good chance that you might be interested in a doing a thesis in this theme.

Master

This theme is treated in depth in:

• NWI-I00032 Advanced Programming This course addresses Task-Oriented Programming in iTask, Array Programming in SaC and the design and implementation of Domain Specific Languages.
• NWI-IMC004 Compiler Construction This course focuses compiler construction in general with a particular focus on functional programming language features.

Advanced Programming is mandatory for the Software Science master specialisation, Compiler Construction is an elective.

Some possible thesis projects (at BSc and MSc level) for Task-Oriented Programming and Array programming are specified. It is always possible to come up with your own topic in this field.
