Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4023256FNR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
In this seminar the students get insights about recent developments in the field of Big Data systems. They will deepen their knowledge about specific research topics in this domain. This course is based on interactive sessions where students have discussions with the professors. As a base line, students study scientific papers which need to be read before each session in order to facilitate a discussion. A list of themes with associated research papers is put forward each year and, for instance the following topics might be covered:
Each student is assigned one theme based on their interest. The student must critically review the assigned research papers, identify the main contributions and synthesise the theme for peers in a presentation. All students contribute to the discussion.
Next to that, each student must write a review of an assigned research paper in a provided review format that is similar to review formats used at main research conferences in the associated domains.
The study material is composed based on the selected subjects. Due to the interactive nature of the course, the student is obliged to be present during the contact hours. Therefore the course cannot be taken with an exam contract and it is not possible to take an exam in second session.
The lectures are given in English.
Attending the lectures is mandatory. The assigned research papers will be provided to the students. Additional information in the form of related work and cited papers will have to be collected by the students.
Additional information (such as schedules, teaching assistants, contact information, deadlines, assignments etc.) might be found on the learning platform.
Knowledge and Insight:
In this seminar the student gets insights about recent developments in the field of Big Data systems. They will deepen their knowledge about specific topics in Big Data systems and are required to communicate the outcome to other course participants. The student should be able to critically review the assigned research papers, identify the main contributions and communicate the content in the form of a presentation as well as in a written report.
Application of Knowledge and Insight:
Since this course is given in a seminar form that is mainly based on the study of research papers, the students will not apply the acquired scientific knowledge in an exercise or project-specific form. However, they apply new insights about the independent investigation of a research topic as well as different forms of presentation as part of their assignment.
Judgement Shaping:
The student is required to identify the contributions as well as strengths and weaknesses of a given research paper. They should further get an insight of how evaluate and position a research paper in the context of related work.
Communication:
As part of the seminar the student is required to clearly communicate about the assigned research topic. The attendee shows that they can reflect on a given research topic and discuss it with colleagues by asking and answering scientific questions.
Learning Skills:
After having attended this course, the student has the necessary knowledge to independently investigate a given research topic based on specific research papers and other resources.
The course contributes to the following learning outcomes of the Master's programme:
De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
HOC Presentatie bepaalt 70% van het eindcijfer
WPO Paper bepaalt 30% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie HOC Presentatie dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Binnen de categorie WPO Paper dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
The final grade is going to be based on the student's presentation (counts for 70% of the final grade) as well as on the written report and the review of a number of additional papers (counts for 30% of the final grade). Note that the attendance of the lectures/presentations is mandatory and an unjustified absence (i.e without medical or other certificate) from more than two lectures in total will result in the grade 'absent' for the seminar.
