Systematic Analysis and Development of Innovative Systems

Content

This event addresses state-of-the-art security topics from research and development.

Analyzing and developing security solutions are complex tasks requiring knowledge from different areas of computer science. This lab aims to combine skills from different areas within a project from the security sector.

Tasks from a wide range (from algorithmics, space travel, and machine learning to software analysis, hardware development, and reverse engineering) will be presented.

The final tasks are determined individually and according to the interests/skills of the participants.

Depending on the task's scope and level, this course will be completed as a Lab (InoSys-Lab with 6CP) or a Project-Lab (InoSys-Project with 9CP). The type will be determined individually and task-dependent. At this point, and as far as the nature of the task allows, the students will have the opportunity to participate intellectually in the design of the task.
