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-I00155 Design of Embedded Systems This course focusses on real-time operating systems for embedded systems.

These courses are mandatory for the Software Science master specialization

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.
