| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
Specialization within one of the core specialization areas of the program. The student must acquire knowledge, skills and competences in order to translate theories, methods and solutions ideas into their own practice in relation to software development. 1) Specialization course with a focus area towards algorithms, programming frameworks and complex IT systems. 2) Specialization course with a focus area towards data science, artificial intelligence and business intelligence. 3) Specialization course with a focus area within e.g. internet of things, robotics and virtual technologies. |
| Detailed description of content |
The Complex IT systems specialization course is for students who want skills in and knowledge of large, distributed or specialized systems beyond the first semester courses. With a focus on the systems dimension, the course lets the students explore both theoretical and practical sides of working with complex IT systems. Students work on a portfolio assignment based on developing and integrating their acquired knowledge and skills in a new dedicated project, an existing project or their specialization semester project. |
| Course material and Reading list |
Foundational texts and newer papers about theory and practice. Documentation for relevant tools, frameworks, protocols etc. is in part chosen by the students. |
| Overall plan and expected work effort |
The course will have a total workload of 135 hours. 40 hours of lectures and exercises/individual work, 70 hours of preparation and 25 hours for the exam |

| Programme |
The students design, implement and describe advanced features of a complex distributed system. Advanced features covered in lectures, workshops and self-study are: Mandatory topics: - Security - System- and network architecture - Testing, automization of build and continouos integration and deployment/delivery (DevOps) - Non-browser clients such as mobile devices, terminal, IoT devices, embedded computers and physical nodes. Beyond the mandatory topics, the system must include at least 3 of the following features/dimensions: - Monitoring and operation or analytics/crash reporting - Containerization - Modern frontend frameworks and state management - Parallel programming - Advanced security (beyond the mandatory) - Advanced testing and/or DevOps (beyond the mandatory) - Alternative topic* *Alternative topics may include: Virtualization, APIs/protocols, history, analysis and other topics approved by the teacher. |
