Student Conference in Computing Science 7.5 credits

About the course

The purpose of the course is to practice scientific writing, scientific conduct and support quality of research. The course is organized to mimic a scientific conference. The student should formulate and through research answer a new and non-trivial research question in the field of computing science. The student then writes a paper under the teacher's supervision and with the aid of peer reviewing. The final version of the paper is submitted via a conference system and reviewed by anonymous reviewers. All accepted papers are published in a technical report by the Department of Computing Science and presented by the author at an internal conference.
