This SNET project is about carrying out a whole project. A given topic will be analyzed, specified, implemented, tested and documented. These topics can vary within the following groups of related subjects:

• Mobile Computing
• Context-aware Computing
• Linked Data
• Data Science and Analytics
• Digital Communities
• Cloud Computing
• Web Services

Depending on the topic, the project will be supervised by different SNET researchers, T-Labs employees or other guest lecturers. At the beginning of the semester, the participating students can apply for one of the specific tasks, which will be announced at the beginning of the semester in the first lecture. Then the supervisor will define groups and regular meetings with the students, explain the task and provide materials and tools. During the semester, each participant of the project has to present their topic, progress and final results in different talks.

The course is conducted in English and requires programming knowledge. 

This compulsory course (Wahlpflichtfach) addresses Master students of

• Computer Science (Informatik)
• Computer Engineering (Technische Informatik)
• Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik)
• EIT Digital
• Compulsory Elective in other degree programs possible if course is not full

After organizing in groups, the main part of the project is managed by you. Additionally you regularly meet with your supervisor (normally once a week or bi-weekly) and she/he will assess your advance. Furthermore, there are two mandatory milestone appointments, where you present your progress and results in front of the whole group.

The introductory lecture will take place at FH 311, April 19th at 14:00, Note: The lecture will start on sharp 14:00 (s.t.). Please be on time. The date for the Milestone workshop will be announced at the introductory lecture.

The method of examination is the portfolio exam ("Portfolioprüfung"). All in all 100 portfolio points can be achieved:

• Practical implementation (25 portfolio points)
• Process of the project (25 portfolio points)
• Presentation (25 portfolio points)
• Written report (25 portfolio points)

The final grade under the terms of § 47 (2) AllgStuPO is calculated according to the grading scheme no. 2 of faculty IV. Attendance of all appointments is mandatory.

Each topic requires different number of participants and is limited in general. Students with substantial knowledge in Java or other object-oriented programming languages can register for this course on ISIS until April 19th, 2017 - 10 am.

At the introductory lecture, the topics (will be announced on ISIS beforehand) will be presented and any registered student may choose a topic. Early registration gives you the opportunity to choose the topic first. However, in any case you are not entitled for any topic beforehand.
