Intelligente Agenten (CS4514-KP12)


Dozierende: Prof. Dr. Nele Rußwinkel, Prof. Dr. Diedrich Wolter

Übungen: Moritz Bayerkuhnlein, Rebecca von Engelhardt

Places and Times

 

The module Intelligente Agenten (CS4514-KP12) encompasses four parts, two lectures (in presence, see details below) and a joint practical with topics alternating from both lectures. In the fourth part, a project class (Projektpraktikum), students work in groups in a selfdetermined manner on a small project to implement ideas discussed in the lectures. The project will be largely asynchronously.
