Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course content can vary from course offering to course offering. Examples of subjects include, but are not limited to: concurrent programming, probabilistic programming, differentiable programming, knowledge-based programming, domain specific language technology, programming languages for security, subordinate types, type and effect systems, and program analysis. During the course, the students will get acquainted with several advanced subjects and then get the possibility to specialise within specific subjects.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student shall be able to

  • present the essential contents of scientific articles within the area of the course
  • discuss advanced concepts within the area of the course
  • create solution proposals for problems within the area of the course
  • carry out practical work to retrieve technical solutions for problems within the area of the course

in order to

  • obtain an understanding of current research and development in the programming language field
  • become prepared for own research and development in the programming language field, for example in a degree project.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Knowledge in principles of programming languages, 7.5 higher education credits, equivalent to completed course DD2481.
