More information about the upcoming Educafé construction works.

You might have noticed there are construction works in the Educafé. These are, amoung other things, for constructing a Starbucks branch. The construction works will take about 7 weeks to be completed and are suspected to be finished by November 6th.

From the 12th until the 18th of October, the Educafé will be closed. The Inter-Actief-room will be reachable via the fire escape stairs on the side of the Educafé.

On September 21 there will be three public guest lectures on programming: Location: Zilverling, room 2042

9:00-9:45 Dr. M. van Dooren, “Bringing exception handling to the 21st century" 11:00-11:45 Prof. A. Fehnker, "Software Analysis for Students: how to become a great programmer" 13:30-14:15 Dr. M. Habib, "Algorithms: Design, Selection and Evaluation”

Abstract Marko van Dooren: “Bringing exception handling to the 21st century"

Ever since their invention, checked exceptions have been a point of much discussion. On the one hand, they increase the robustness of software by preventing the manifestation of unanticipated checked exceptions at run-time. On the other hand, they decrease the adaptability of software because they must be propagated explicitly, and must often be handled even if they cannot be signalled. In this lecture we will liberate exception handling form the dark ages, and bring it into the 21st century. We will learn how anchored exception declarations give exception handling the same dynamic nature that forms the basis of all modern programming languages. By making exception handling more dynamic, we can still guarantee exception safety without risking massive invasive changes when new exceptions are added.

Abstract Ansgar Fehnker: "Software Analysis for Students: how to become a great programmer"

Software is at the core of many innovations, and programming is an essential skill for any graduate in a technical or semi-technical field. In this talk we will review the core aspect of what it takes to become a great programmer. The starting pointfor this talk is to consider what makes a good program, and how tools can help to create great programs. The will review different techniques and their potential to improve software quality. It will be informed by experience with developing a industry strengthsoftware analysis tool, and experience in teaching programming , and software and systems design at university.

Abstract Mena Habib: "Algorithms: Design, Selection and Evaluation”

We compare different search and sorting algorithms and compute their algorithmic complexity. We also discuss how to evaluate them, and select the best algorithm suitable for a given problem.

Het vak Bachelorreferaat wordt voor pre-TOM studenten voor het laatst aangeboden in het eerste semester van 2015-2016. Wie wil deelnemen, moet op tijd een track kiezen.

Informatie over de tracks is te vinden op http://referaat.cs.utwente.nl/conference/24/track Inschrijving voor het vak gaat via Osiris. Je kunt dan vervolgens via de Blackboardsite een track kiezen.

Er gelden de volgende voorkenniseisen:

• BIT: P + 60 EC's (inclusief minor)

• Informatica: P + 60 EC's (exclusief minor) + Technical writing.

Let op: voor sommige tracks is de begeleidingscapaciteit beperkt. Het is daarom aan te raden je zo snel mogelijk in te schrijven en een track te kiezen, want vol = vol. Schrijf je in elk geval in voor 20 augustus, want dan kunnen we nog tijdig controleren of je voldoet aan de voorkenniseisen. Schrijf je je daarna in, dan bestaat de kans dat je pas na de start van het vak te horen krijgt dat je niet voldoet aan de voorkenniseisen.

It took a while, but the lustrum theme is announced!

The theme is known. Next year will go into the books as a year full of happiness under the theme 'Promising'. The organization of the lustrum year is still working hard, but we can already say something on what the members awaits next year. At the beginning of the academic year, we will open the year with a festive lustrum opening activity. In the dies month (March), the committee will drop some nice, big activities in the framework of the lustrum.
