To optimally organize this course, I would like to get
your input to the following questions:

Your name and email address (optional):


Which topics would you like to have covered?
Use a scale of  1-10: 10 means it is important to you.
1 means not at all important.

You don't care so much what will be covered but it has to be something
which is likely to be useful in your software development career.

Are you interested in doing some research?

  Are you interested in doing theoretical research and to
  prove theorems?

  Are you interested in doing applied research and to do a prototype
  implementation?

  Are you interested in a combination of both?

Are you willing to present a paper (maybe your own) in class?


Do you want to have a guest lecturer? About which topic?
