Advanced computer science research project

This unit is intended to provide practical experience in designing, developing and testing a non-trivial computer science project. Projects are generally software-based, although sometimes they may involve hardware development or investigation of theory. Projects cover the whole process of software (or hardware) development, from analysis through design to implementation and testing. Comprehensive written documentation on the project is required. You are assigned in groups to a project supervisor. There are no lectures in this unit, although you will be expected to attend regular meetings with your project supervisor. The application problem will normally be drawn from your field of specialisation.
