Content
This course deals with a variety of advanced and current themes in the field of databases. The content of this course and the discussed themes can (but need not) change each year in function of:
- Progress in the scientific domain
- Research themes that are dealt with in the department
- Research projects that are executed in the department
- Visitors to the department, with an expertise that is not part of the current curriculum.
The concrete teaching form will depend on the discussed themes, the discussed problems and the teacher. Often, this will occur by means of scientific literature (a number of articles). A form that is often appropriate consists of:
- A small number of introductory lectures or work sessions by the teacher
- A larger number of lectures and work sessions in which one or more students present one or more articles, followed by a discussion.
