252-0210-00LCompiler Design
Findet dieses Semester nicht statt.
Die Lerneinheit findet im FS17 wieder statt.
O8 KP4V + 3UT. Gross
KurzbeschreibungDiese Vorlesung benutzt Compiler als Beispiel für moderne Software Entwicklung. Dazu werden die Kernthemen des Compilerbaus behandelt: Syntax Analyse, Symboltabellen, Code Erzeugung. Die Vorlesung und Uebungen geben den Studierenden eine gute Gelegenheit, Muster in diversen Kontexten anzuwenden.
LernzielLearn principles of compiler design, gain practical experience designing and implementing a medium-scale software system.
InhaltThis course uses compilers as example to expose modern software development techniques. The course introduces the students to the fundamentals of compiler construction. Students will implement a simple yet complete compiler for an object-oriented programming language for a realistic target machine. Students will learn the use of appropriate tools (parser generators); the implementation language is Java. Throughout the course, students learn to apply their knowledge of theory (automata, grammars, stack machines, program transformation) and well-known programming techniques (module definitions, design patterns, frameworks, software reuse) in a software project.
Specific topics: Compiler organization. Lexical analysis. Top-down parsing via recursive descent, table-driven parsers, bottom-up parsing. Symboltables, semantic checking. Code generation for a simple RISC machine: expression evaluation, straight line code, conditionals, loops, procedure calls, simple register allocation techniques. Storage allocation on the stack, parameter passing, runtime storage management, heaps. Special topics as time permits: introduction to global dataflow and its application to register allocation, instruction scheduling.

252-0213-00LVerteilte Systeme Information O8 KP6G + 1AF. Mattern, R. Wattenhofer
KurzbeschreibungVerteilte Kontrollalgorithmen (wechselseitiger Ausschluss, logische Uhren), Kommunikationsmodelle (RPC, synchrone/asynchrone Kommunikation, Broadcast, Ereignisse, Tupelräume), Middleware, Service- und Ressourcen-orientierte Architekturen (SOAP, REST), Sicherheit, Fehlertoleranz (Modelle, Consensus), Replikation (Primary Copy, 2PC, 3PC, Quorum-Systeme), Shared Memory (Spin Locks, Concurrency).
LernzielKennenlernen von wesentlichen Technologien und Architekturen verteilter Systeme.
InhaltWir geben eine Einführung in verteilte Systeme (Charakteristika und Konzepte) und diskutieren sodann verteilte Kontrollalgorithmen (Flooding-Verfahren, wechselseitiger Ausschluss, logische Uhren), Basis-Kommunikationsmodelle (Remote-Procedure-Call, Client-Server-Strukturen, synchrone und asynchrone Kommunikation), abstraktere Kommunikationsprinzipien (Broadcast, Ereignisse, Tupelräume), Namensverwaltung, Middleware und Techniken offener Systeme (z.B. REST, SOAP), Infrastruktur für spontan vernetzte Systeme (JINI), Cloud-Computing sowie Sicherheits- und Schutzmechanismen. Da partielle Systemausfälle charakteristisch für verteilte Systeme sind, werden auch Fehlermodelle und Fehlertoleranz-Algorithmen zum systematischen Umgang mit Fehlersituationen besprochen. Wir diskutieren dazu Fehlertoleranzaspekte (Modelle, Consensus, Agreement) sowie Replikationsaspekte (Primary Copy, 2PC, 3PC, Paxos, Quorum-Systeme, verteilter Speicher) und Probleme bei asynchronen Multiprozesssystemen (Shared Memory, Spin Locks, Concurrency). Parallel zur Vorlesung werden einige der Übungen in Form praktischer mehrwöchiger Aufgaben durchgeführt, wobei die Teilnehmer mit der Programmierung von mobilen Plattformen (smartphones) und nachrichtenbasierten Kommunikationsprinzipien vertraut werden.

252-3110-00LHuman Computer Interaction Information W4 KP2V + 1UO. Hilliges, M. Norrie
KurzbeschreibungThe course provides an introduction to the field of human-computer interaction, emphasising the central role of the user in system design. Through detailed case studies, students will be introduced to different methods used to analyse the user experience and shown how these can inform the design of new interfaces, systems and technologies.
LernzielThe goal of the course is that students should understand the principles of user-centred design and be able to apply these in practice.
InhaltThe course will introduce students to various methods of analysing the user experience, showing how these can be used at different stages of system development from requirements analysis through to usability testing. Students will get experience of designing and carrying out user studies as well as analysing results. The course will also cover the basic principles of interaction design. Practical exercises related to touch and gesture-based interaction will be used to reinforce the concepts introduced in the lecture. To get students to further think beyond traditional system design, we will discuss issues related to ambient information and awareness.

The focus will be on the basic organization of eukaryotic cells, molecular mechanisms and cellular functions. Textbook knowledge will be combined with results from recent research and technological innovations in biology.

InhaltLectures will include the following topics: DNA, chromosomes, RNA, protein, genetics, gene expression, membrane structure and function, vesicular traffic, cellular communication, energy conversion, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, cellular growth, apoptosis, autophagy, cancer, development and stem cells.

In addition, three journal clubs will be held, where one/two publictions will be discussed (part I: 1 Journal club, part II: 2 Journal Clubs). For each journal club, students (alone or in groups of up to three students) have to write a summary and discussion of the publication. These written documents will be graded and count as 25% for the final grade.

227-1037-00LIntroduction to Neuroinformatics Information W6 KP2V + 1UK. A. Martin, M. Cook, V. Mante, M. Pfeiffer
KurzbeschreibungThe course provides an introduction to the functional properties of neurons. Particularly the description of membrane electrical properties (action potentials, channels), neuronal anatomy, synaptic structures, and neuronal networks. Simple models of computation, learning, and behavior will be explained. Some artificial systems (robot, chip) are presented.
LernzielUnderstanding computation by neurons and neuronal circuits is one of the great challenges of science. Many different disciplines can contribute their tools and concepts to solving mysteries of neural computation. The goal of this introductory course is to introduce the monocultures of physics, maths, computer science, engineering, biology, psychology, and even philosophy and history, to discover the enchantments and challenges that we all face in taking on this major 21st century problem and how each discipline can contribute to discovering solutions.
InhaltThis course considers the structure and function of biological neural networks at different levels. The function of neural networks lies fundamentally in their wiring and in the electro-chemical properties of nerve cell membranes. Thus, the biological structure of the nerve cell needs to be understood if biologically-realistic models are to be constructed. These simpler models are used to estimate the electrical current flow through dendritic cables and explore how a more complex geometry of neurons influences this current flow. The active properties of nerves are studied to understand both sensory transduction and the generation and transmission of nerve impulses along axons. The concept of local neuronal circuits arises in the context of the rules governing the formation of nerve connections and topographic projections within the nervous system. Communication between neurons in the network can be thought of as information flow across synapses, which can be modified by experience. We need an understanding of the action of inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, so that the dynamics and logic of synapses can be interpreted. Finally, the neural architectures of feedforward and recurrent networks will be discussed in the context of co-ordination, control, and integration of sensory and motor information in neural networks.
