Goals

The course is a reading and presentation course about fundamental contributions to the field of program systems and languages over the years. Well-cited papers are normally of high quality, but are often mis-interpreted over the years. The goal of this course is to give PELAB PhD students, and other interested students, a good, source-critical, common understanding of foundations and development of the field.

Prerequisites

Programming, Software Engineering

Organization

The course is organized as a seminar series. The students will bid for, and later be assigned to an article, which they will interpret and present to the rest of the students. The presentation must be well-adapted to the audience and the examiner will give feed-back both on the presentation and the student’s interpretation of the article.
