Development of the abilities to autonomously conduct a small self-contained HW/SW project, e.g., isolated engineering sub-tasks of research and teaching projects, in relevant fields of computer engineering. The course thus offers a good opportunity for a first participation in our research projects.
Conception, implementation, test and documentation of a sound solution of the assigned cyber-physical systems engineering problem. Teamwork is possible, provided that the individually assigned tasks are clearly identified. A list of topics can be found via the course homepage below; own suggestions for topics within our primary areas of expertise (cyber-physical systems, fault-tolerant distributed real-time systems, embedded systems, VLSI design) may also be possible. An overview of current computer engineering research topics and potential supervisors at the contributing institutes/working groups is provided in the TI research presentations (http://ti.tuwien.ac.at/teaching/ti-research-presentations).
Particularly recommended if participation in the group's research projects is considered.
