KI650 Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 6, optional course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dave Swayne
Lecturer:
Prof. Dave Swayne

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course students will understand agent architectures in artificial intelligence and the relationship between artificial intelligence and operations research (planning and decision making).
 
Students will be able to distinguish between three different classes of decision-making systems (logic-based, probabilistic and machine-learning-based) and will gain experience with a sample of each of the following system classes: first-order logic / prolog, Bayesian network, inductive learning / decision tree.
