Graduate Course

The IIDS group contributes to the masters programme of the Computer Systems Section, is involved in the graduate course Intelligent Interactive Distributed Systems (Fall 2007), taught by Thomas Quillinan, Martijn Warnier, Sander van Splunter and Michel Oey, and gives the bachelor course Privacy en Beveiliging which is taught by Frances Brazier and Martijn Warnier.

Final term projects (Masters)

In the IIDS group students can work on a final term project. On this page, a list of open final term projects is provided and our expectations with regard to graduate students.

Open final term projects:

• AgentScape
  

  AgentScape is a middleware layer that supports large-scale agent systems. The rationale behind the design decisions are

  1. to provide a platform for large-scale agent systems,
  2. support multiple code bases and operating systems, and
  3. interoperability with other agent platforms

  The following AgentScape Master's projects are currently available.



• Other projects
  Other research in IIDS includes, amongst others, self-management, service oriented architectures, legal aspects of agent systems and (web)services. See the research page for more details.
  The following projects are currently available:
  • Web service composition, comparison of description languages using planning algorithm

A final term project at IIDS involves:

• design and documentation of a conceptual model.
• documentation of literature research.
• design and documentation of a prototype to demonstrate 'proof of concept'.
• documents and source code are all "Open Source", i.e. available to the general public.
• frequent meetings (once a week).
• presentations at the 'IIDS meetings' and a webpage on the final term project.

The final term projects will be supervised by a staff member of the IIDS group on a daily basis and by Frances Brazier on a bi-weekly basis. Graduate students are also invited to suggest new related topics for final term projects. For more information regarding final term projects, please contact dr. Martijn Warnier, dr. Michel Oey, or prof.dr. Frances Brazier.
