Laboratory exercises

Course Description

This course contains laboratory exercises of theoretical courses and some specialization courses, as well as contemporary skills with various programming and other tools. The laboratory assignments are grouped in two areas designed to complement the material covered in lectures. The laboratory practice covers hands-on experience in: (A) Application of formal methods to verification of typical program sections, digital hardware, and critical operating systems synchronization and communication protocols, (B) experimenting with communication, scheduling and security issues in operating systems, (C) solving problems and constructing of algorithms in machine learning.

General Competencies

In-depth understanding of the principles and theoretical background of formal methods application to system design and illustrations and problem solving in pattern recognition domain. Ability to design and conduct analytic, modeling, simulation and experimental investigation. Ability to design solutions to problems that are unfamiliar, incompletely defined, and have competing specifications. Ability to formulate the problem and critically evaluate the solution. Practical experience with design, implementation, and deployment of information and communication systems.
