The Department of Computer Science is clustered in a number of research groups. Learn more about our research groups: List of Research Groups
A core topic in computer science is the development of the large software systems that are becoming more and more ubiquitous in our daily lives. Dealing with the whole live cycle of these systems is becoming ever more relevant: from the requirement specification of an application, up to the maintenance of the final system. more...
Systems are regarded as intelligent if their behaviour is perceived to be intelligent by human observers. In this sense, intelligence has a broad interpretation. Intelligence can be found in individuals as well as in populations of individuals and may also refer to the evolutionary aspect. more...
The objective of computer science is to design and implement information processing systems. The spectrum of systems range from stand-alone computers up to world wide cross-linked computer networks like the WWW. Currently, the integration of computers in other products, like cars, mobile phones, or robots, is a fast growing field. more...
An algorithm is a series of instructions that, while being executed, solves a task. One of the ambitions of computer science is to find efficient algorithms for given problems that use as few instructions and resources as possible. Of fundamental nature is the question if, and under which constraints, it is at all possible to find an algorithmic solution. more...
