After successful completion of the course, students are able to autonomously complete smaller projects from the area of compilers and programming languages respecting the state of the art and write a project report.

A given practical problem shall be worked out. Group work is possible, provided the individual tasks are clearly separated. Topics can be chosen in a discussion with one of the lecturers. Own suggestions are encouraged (as they fit to the main fields of interest in our department). Didactic concept: In a personal meeting with your advisor the task is specified and the title assigned. Furthermore it is checked whether your pre-know-how meets the requirements. During your work you regularly inform your advisor about your progress and encountered problems (in case of severe problems please contact your advisor immediately rather than waiting for the next appointment). Towards the finish of your work you discuss the structure of your written report with your advisor (it is useful to prepare a proposal for a table of contents for this purpose), as well as the oral presentation where the result is demonstrated, if possible.

exploration of scientific literature, development and evaluation of prototypes, empirical studies, field studies

The grade is based on the evaluation of the project tasks and the project report.
