Software Languages Practinar Summer Semester 2012

Introduction on 8 March 2012; 1-2pm; room: B 013 (with free coffee within some limits)


Theme

Research 2.0 and SoTeSoLa (Software Technologies and Software Languages)


Format

The "practinar" is a non-patent-pending course format invented by the Software Languages Team as a means of aligning student expectations and traditional course formats such that a good mix of practical and research concepts is achieved; see the general practinar page for information. In particular, this practinar allows students to carry out work of the format pro-seminar (4 ECTS), seminar (4 ECTS), project practical (9 ECTS), and research practical (9 ECTS). Further, students can use some of the meetings to engage into a project for a Bachelor's thesis (15 ECTS) or a Master's thesis (30 ECTS).


Some research questions

  • How to technically improve 101companies to better serve education and research?
  • How to technically refurbish 101companies to better become a Research 2.0 demonstrator?
  • What is a good format for a Research 2.0 event in the context of SoTeSoLa?
  • How to leverage 101companies for such a Research 2.0 event in the context of SoTeSoLa?
  • What concrete exercises to be designed for such an event?
  • What concrete resources to leverage for such an event and how to leverage them?
  • How to use empirical research throughout this effort?
