Organisation

During the winter term 2017/18, the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science offers a seminar on Automata Theory and Games, headed by Prof. Dr. Roland Meyer. If you are interested in participating, please apply for the seminar via the Stud.IP system.

Requirements

You can choose one out of several topics. You will have to Each seminar topic is assigned a member of the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science as advisor. In case you have questions, you can contact him/her. There will be regular meetings with your advisor, in particular before you hand in the paper and before you give the presentation.

Topics

Most topics are follow-up topics on the contents of the lectures Algorithmic Automata Theory respectively Games with Perfect Information which we offered in the summer term 2017. Some of the topics require no prior knowledge and are thus suitable for students that have not taken these lectures. The possible topics include, but are not limited to: If you have questions regarding the topics, please contact Sebastian.
